Odds and Ends - Jan 24, 2014

-Tonight is AAW's "The Chaos Theory" show from the Eagles Club in beautiful Berwyn, IL. I'll be in attendance and will have a show recap up later tonight/early tomorrow morning.

-I also am giving a big thank you to Chris "mookieghana" Harrington for his compilation of Wrestling Observer star ratings. I'm nowhere near the statistician that he is, in that I'm not one at all, but I have a few ideas with how to play around with that data.

-I'm starting to watch more lucha thanks to NJPW's Fantasticamania shows that I'm catching up on. I enjoy the hell out of a lot of the matches, but I have no clue what to make of them or how to rate them. They're like foreign language songs to me: enjoyable and catchy, but I don't really know what they're saying. I should be able to parse them more as I delve deeper into the style, but for now I'm not comfortable giving any ratings on lucha matches.

-Returning to AAW, I'll have show reviews of both "Windy City Classic IX" and "One Twisted Christmas 2013" up in the next couple days.

-I will actually proofread my articles now. Amateur hour is coming to an end.

It all begins

For a few years I've kicked around the idea of starting a blog to record some thoughts and help keep my writing skills active. Today is the day I finally did it. What I intend to put here are my thoughts, comments, ratings and reviews on the pro wrestling I watch. Maybe this will keep me from annoying the people around me, maybe not, but my goal is to put something up here every time I watch wrestling. That would mean practically daily updates, often multiple times a day. That's ambitious, but we'll see how it goes. If I have access to my lap top, I'll put at least a blurb up.
