This post was originally published April 10, 2017 on Inside Pulse. For Part 1 see here! Where did the Road to Wrestlemania go wrong? I’m going to try to answer this question. Or, more so, re-book the big matches slightly that lead to Wrestlemania 33. At this stage in the WWE season, everything is geared... Continue Reading →
This article was originally published by me on Inside Pulse, April 3, 2017. One of the biggest problems a writer faces is delivering the goods. The aspect of knowing your audience runs deep. If you’re writing for a particular niche then you want to focus on what that particular audience likes. To do anything else... Continue Reading →
This is my article from my article from July 31, 2017 at Inside Pulse. In is out. Up is down. Left is right. Retro is…you get the idea. It seems that these days in the wrestling world there’s nothing but organized chaos, like the cliché herding cats. Let me just make this statement. Matt Hardy... Continue Reading →
Holy sweet deity of your choosing...it has been a long week. Few weeks? I have lost all sense of time. My wife has as well. That's what it's like with a sick child. And the first week of school. Many parents can relate. Having a sick child is one of the worst things in the... Continue Reading →
My column over at Inside Pulse deals with wrestling and writing for the most part. Usually, if I'm talking about wrestling and writing it has to do with how bad it is though. More often than not I focus on the bigger names since they have the most airtime and storylines. How the WWE handles Roman... Continue Reading →
Unbelievable. Sometimes the only word that comes to mind when I'm watching wrestling is unbelievable. And that's probably not the word any writer wants to hear, whether a blogger, a novelist, or someone that writes for professional wrestling. You want fans to suspend belief, not utter the word...unbelievable. It's two fold. For one, the obvious,... Continue Reading →
The Wrestling Connoisseur: The Next Best Thing; Second Tier Titles (WWE Intercontinental, WCW Television, United States) I remember the second most important title in wrestling. I’m not talking about the debate as to whether the WWE/WWF or the NWA/WCW world title was more important, but rather the Intercontinental and United States titles. At one time... Continue Reading →
The hardest part about being a Stay-At-Home-Dad and writing is actually the same as the hardest part about writing: writing. I know that sounds funny. It's hard to figure out exactly what works best. It depends so much on the writer's personality, their spouse's personality (if there is one, spouse, that is.) and schedule, and... Continue Reading →
Vacations. Those delicious nuggets of non-work days. The first definition on Google is "an extended period of recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling." Most definite. I know what you're thinking. Where do people from Hawai'i vacation? The usual answer is Las Vegas, but this year vacation began with the idea of visiting... Continue Reading →
Daddy's log...stardate 9-19-2016, 17:32:09 HST Have you ever had one of those days? I can't blame it on a lack of sleep. I slept long and hard last night and didn't wake up until way late in the morning. My daughter was still asleep when I woke up. I was able to feed the cats... Continue Reading →
All parts of a story are important. Novels hang on the initial hook on the opening page. If the reader isn’t hooked they’re lible to chuck the book across the room. Characters need to be interesting. Plots need to be compelling. The wrestling story is similar. The initial aspect of a story or feud must... Continue Reading →
