Weekly Watchlist 028 - December 22 2024 - Continental Classic Special

What's new, enthusiasts of tournament-based, predetermined tousling?! 

Happy Holidays to all! I hope you've been able to enjoy yourself this season and find time to relax and be with friends and family. I've been busier than ever and feeling a bit of a crunch a few days before Christmas but doing my best to just go with the flow and enjoy the time I have. 

I also did some brainstorming this week, thinking about what I could review for this weeks review when the idea came to me one night, after I was visited by three spir- wait, wrong story. 

Breaking a bit from the norm, I'll be giving AEW's Continental Classic a spotlight this week. I've been catching up on the matches before World's End and felt like there were too many good to great matches that deserved a bit of love. 

Giving the Continental Classic some love this holiday season.

Tapping Out: How to Abandon Your Wrestling Dreams #3 - Foreclosure of a Dream

The third and final part of my Tapping Out audio feature for the Wrestling Vault. I thought initially that this would be a four part series, but I realized I didn't have much as far as a follow up after this recording session. 

I talk about the aftermath of giving up on my dream, and how I was able to come out the other side feeling confident I made the right choice.

Weekly Watchlist 027 - December 15 2024

 Whats new, my fellow fans of fraudulent fisticuffs?

Another week down and another week closer to the end of 2024! I'm not sure if I mentioned in a previous post or not, but I toyed with the idea of doing some "year end awards" for the blog, going over matches and stuff I liked best from the year. But I don't think I'll do that this year. I'm getting in a good grove with how I watch and do these reviews right now and I want to keep that flow going. I might work on that next year, when I have a full 365 days worth of matches under my belt. I will, however, give you guys a quick rundown of some stats in a short year end post. Matches, promotions, and general star rating for the year. Think that will be fun for all of us to find out!

 

Tapping Out: How to Abandon Your Wrestling Dreams #2 - The Waking Nightmare

Part 2 of a 3 part audio feature for the Wrestling Vault. I go more in depth about my experience with wrestling training and, eventually, how it all falls apart.

It wasn't easy to dig back some of these memories. A lot of it was stuff I'd tried to forget.

Weekly Watchlist 026 - December 8 2024

Whats up my fellow dedicated observers of preordained hostility?

It's been a good week here at Wrestling Vault HQ, a nice break from the fast paced month of November as the holidays start to roll around and things no doubt pick up once again. I'll take whatever victories I can. The DPW library is in the current year, I dig back to a match I've watched far too many times, and I try to understand why so many people want to hear my voice! 

This, and so much more (mileage may vary) in this weeks review!
