In the summer of 2025, I began a project where I would rewatch and recap the MCU in Complete Timeline order. Upon entering Phase 2 of the Timeline, I started loosing momentum with the project. Especially, once I hit the Netflix Wall. With The Avengers: Doomsday slated to be released on December 18, 2026, I thought I should start the project over. Here is a breakdown of the project and my thoughts...

I've decided to give a review of all the wrestling ai consumed this week, starting with the first episode of 2026 for Smackdown.

I delve into a phrase I rarely utter in my content and how my mindset was shaped in regards to that phrase. Have I limited myself by not asking? Let's explore.

On May 18, 2019, I married my best friend, my confidant, my partner, my person. I discuss our history and my mindset at different points in our journey. I open up about how my priorities shifting to where wrestling no longer topped the list. I also tlak about 2019 for GSL and my journey in wrestling that year.

I began 2018 with the mindset that I didn't want to be in the same spot I was in by the end of that year. By the end of 2018, I was no longer working for Reality Of Wrestling nor the law firm. I also had moved from Houston to the Austin area. I started the year thinking I'd be performing less, but by the end I was thinking GSL needed to go on the road. I discuss all the ebbs and flows of that year...

Getting more responsibility for my day job and my mindset when it came to my finances. Navigating my path back into the Indies. And continuing my podcast and creating content. I also discuss my path into a very dark path and how a chance convers...

As the title states, I became an official podcaster in 2016 under a different name. i cover how that podcast came to be. i also discuss some of the guests. i talk about the rest of my 2016.

I'm not really sure how to best describe this episode. I was navigating thru the journey in the industry. It felt like a forgettable year in some respects, but there were highlights. I try and delve into those.

My 2014 was a year of transitioning from being a paid performer on the Indies to becoming an unpaid performer, producer, coach and volunteer. I get into my thoughts on the reasoning for that and how I dealt with it. I also talk about dipping my toes into the conversation podcast space on YouTube.

According to Cagematch, I only had 1 match in 2013. According to YouTube, I released only 4 videos. I discuss how my 2013 went. I even get into how I faced a pretty tough decision and still question if it was the right choice.

By the spring of 2012, I was the champion of 2 promotions. I was also given an opportunity to join Reality Of Wrestling. The year was a success. And yet some projects sadly had to come to an end. All that and more.

2011 started and ended on high points. But in the spring of 2011, I faced an uncertain future in the industry. The bumps and wear and tear finally caught up to me, and I was on the verge of stepping away. This led me to take different roles within wrestling. One of those was hosting and running the locker room. This led to me and Justin Smith (my collaborator with IWE) working together again on a...
