Wrestlers - Before they were famous
2007 was an eventful year with WWE naming me as the possible head of the 'to be formed' WWE Europe.

Forgiveness and the WWE Hall of Fame
I’ve been a diehard wrestling fan since 2001. I consider myself something of an expert and I love to chat with other fans and experts. A lot of people can’t understand why wrestling appeals to its fans. There are a lot of reasons. There’s the spectacle. There’s the ongoing history of professional wrestling that goes back to the days of circus wrestling. There’s the display of athletics. We all know it’s not “real” but it still requires incredible skill. And no real sport offers the opportunities to armchair quarterback, or “book the show” in wrestling terms.

Chris Jericho: Past, Present, and Possible Future
As with any other form of entertainment, professional wrestling has garnered a wide spectrum of audiences ranging from casual fans to the die-hards. In 2020, as storylines, bookings, performances, predictions, and even backstage rumors are brought under scrutiny and critiqued, it is evident that the sports-entertainment known as pro wrestling is no longer confined to merely pleasing the superficial emotions of the fans and has rather evolved to an art form that is often a subject of critical analysis and intellectual opinions. This serves as a new kind of challenge for pro wrestlers to remain relevant to the wide spectrum of a fan base that pro wrestling entertainment appeals to.

One year of Wednesday Night Dynamite
One year ago today in Washington D.C., I was there live to see the debut for AEW’s Wednesday Night Dynamite. I’ve been a pro wrestling fan for over 20 years, (25 to be exact) and I’m 32 years young to give you some perspective. Wrestling has influenced me in so many areas of my life, I owe so much to it. My mother loved wrestling as well, her favorite wrestler was the Undertaker. Those are some of my most cherished memories of my life watching a WWF PPV on a spring Sunday evening spending time with my mommy.

Martial Arts and Philosophy
Having done the Martial Arts since I was 16 was the best decision with my life. I dread the idea of what I could have been if I didn't. But that's not what's important here.
