I'm Sorry

I did say I wasn’t going to take another year-long hiatus. Well this isn’t a hiatus, I’m turning it in.

I’ve thought for a few days about this and I kept coming back to the real reason I took that long break: I wasn’t enjoying doing it. I think that was in my mind before I took the break, that and the schedule I gave myself, but I just wasn’t looking forward to watching the shows as I should have been. Then I watch WrestleMania III, 1988 Royal Rumble and Survivor Series, and I enjoyed them. Then I get back into reviewing them and find that I’m not enjoying it as much nor am I looking forward to watching anything.

I wanted to do the archive binge because I enjoy pro wrestling and wanted to see everything I missed. Funny thing is that it’s preventing me from actually doing so. I started WrestleMania IV a couple days ago and I’m a quarter of the way through it and I can’t seem to get started on watching it again. When I get set to, I remember the blog and push it back again. I can’t keep doing this.

The reason I started this blog is because I enjoy the shows and I enjoy reviewing things. ‘What a great combination’ I thought to myself. Well it is a good combination, I just can’t do it. At least not for professional wrestling.

I know I just brought it back, I know I just plugged it, but I’m not going to lose enjoyment from something by forcing myself to do what I don’t want to do for a few people on the internet. I still love blogging, I still love reviewing. I just need to find another avenue.

So to everyone that was interested in Vintage Wrestling Reviews: I apologize but I’m gone for good this time. I’ll keep this apology up for about a week, then I’m killing the site. 

1987 Overview

Well, say goodbye to 1986 and here’s hoping that there’s a lot more uploads of 1987. I’ve also decided  that I will conclude Vintage Wrestling Reviews after I review WrestleMania XXIX. I know by that time, it ceases to be vintage, but it can become a play off one of Cole's catchphrases. My reasoning is that I wanted to get a full spectrum for myself. I started watching sporadically in the summer of 2009 and only became really serious earlier in the spring of 2012. I'll overlap on what I've already seen yes, but by that time, I'll have formed my own opinions and be able to draw on those to see what I think about the current standings. Instead of, you know, letting my opinions be decided by the vocal majority of the IWC.

Anyway, what’s on our itinerary for 1987?
