It's that time again. What are yours? Considering that I accomplished absolutely none of mine in 2015, I want to think about it a little bit more.

Mine are pretty simple.

 

I need to watch more wrestling. I let it slide and it's a lot more difficult to sit through two plus hours of wrestling if I don't switch up styles along the way.

 

Also, I need to post more about the wrestling I watch. I'm 100% certain that it makes me look at what's happening a lot more closely and pick up on details I might miss if I don't plan on putting my thoughts on the match I'm watching into words.

That mine's x 1000.

Actually submit a GOAT ballot. Is there really anything else to strive for this year?

Write more about wrestling. I love doing the audio, but I want to produce at least twice as much written content as I did this year.

 

Get my GWE ballot on in time without going nuts.

 

Talk at least a couple of the better Southern indies into releasing their shows via some sort of VOD service.

1. Finish two yearbooks by the time my wife and I have a baby in April.

2. Continue to consistently watch wrestling post-baby.

3. Post more?

Load up the first six months of the year with as much wrestling as I can before grad school comes and whoops my ass for a year.

No real resolution, just continue to watch piles of stuff until I have to hand in my GWE ballot and then probably not watch any wrestling for months

Get through 1986 JCP and finish 1987 WWF.

1. Attend Jim Duggan's stand-up show in February

 

2. Watch the entirety of what made tape for SMW

 

3. Meet Jimmy Valiant

1. Submit a GWE ballot

 

2. Watch wrestling everyday (it helps with my stress level and anxiety, no lie)

 

that's about it

Also to start watching Memphis finally starting with 1979.

Past GWE (and my GWE focus is Classic UK primarily), I want to keep the 3x a Week lucha posting for Segunda Caida up until at least April. That'll take me to two years and 300 matches reviewed and that feels like a pretty substantial footprint. After that I'll likely look at other things.

 

I'd like to catch up on Lucha Underground too.

 

That's it though. Work is busy. Life is busy.

I have so much going on in my life these days I don't know how many of these things I'll be able to do, but here are some things I'd like to do.

 

Watch at write about 3 matches a week. I started a project, was doing pretty well with it, but then started adding matches, and generally overcomplicating the project. I need to follow the initial guidelines I set for the project and stop trying to add things to an already overwhelming project that will probably never end.

 

Watch NXT weekly. It is my favorite wrestling product, yet I find myself skipping weeks for no real reason. I end up behind when the Takeover comes, and then get mad at myself for not knowing the whole story. It is an hour a week, and I always like it, it is truthfully one of the most consistently enjoyable things in my life...but being an idiot I spend that time falling down YouTube rabbit holes or watching some food show I don't even like that much.

 

I'm going to Wrestlemania, and I want to try to not spend the entire weekend eating barbecue, and see more than one wrestling show. I'm going with a couple friends and hopefully we can figure out what all we are going to do soon. Either way, a weekend full of Texas barbecue would be pretty awesome.

Finally get through the 90 and 91 yearbooks Will sent me out in about June.

 

Send Will more money so he can send me more yearbooks so I can make the same resolution next year.

Filling in at least some of the gaping, massive blanks here http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/32544-top-matches-of-2015/ would be a good start for me.

 

Every time I get going with a good viewing project along comes a podcast to remind me what I should replace it with immediately.....

Go to one of the indie lucha shows that run here in Dallas.

-Remember to cancel my hotel for Mania

-Find a better flow to my wrestling watching and writing. This year, despite my best intentions, was probably my least productive in this way. Once summer started I just wasn't finding a groove in any shape or form. Hopefully I can find something that works so I can enjoy it to its full potential.

-Post more on the forums, including this one.

- Go see some live wrestling

- Keep watching the Yearbooks

- Get back to work on the 1982 Yearbook

- Turn in a GWE ballot

Burn 10,000 calories watching Midnight Express matches on the treadmill.

1. Finish two yearbooks by the time my wife and I have a baby in April.

2. Continue to consistently watch wrestling post-baby.

3. Post more?

Watch wrestling at 3 am while feeding the baby, boom, done.

Attend more local indies. I have no excuse for not catching a Beyond show since they run in my backyard.

1. Try not to burn myself out with too much wrestling. It's happened before and it sucks when you start losing passion about something you love.

 

2. Dip my toes into more promotions and time periods that I haven't checked yet. I'm currently making my way through the top matches of the DVDVR 80s New Japan set and it's interesting to finally be checking out matches of guys I've heard about, but have never seen wrestle before.

 

3. Post more here.

 

4. Attend more indy shows. 4FW and Rev Pro run shows an hour or so from where I'm living at the moment, so I should make more of an effort.

 

5. Keep my puroresu blog updated.

 

1. Finish two yearbooks by the time my wife and I have a baby in April.

Perfect.

Support and espouse wrestling that I enjoy in an attempt to help more people fine current wrestling they will cherish instead of being dejected from watching WWE or NJPW
