First Post

Before I get down to business and creating regular posts, I wanted to make my first more of an introduction. I'm not going to bore you with the semantics of my biography. If you want to read that kind of thing, it should be on the right side of the page.

I'll keep it short and sweet: I'm an anonymous Christian mark. If you want you can call me @Tweet4Christian (my twitter handle), or just Daniel - put I probably won't get too much more personal than that publicly (although I could, privately).

In addition to being a Christian mark, I'm a wrestling fan in general. I'm going to use this blog to post serious evaluations and opinions about weekly episodes of RAW and SmackDown, as well as the monthly pay-per-views (srs bsns). Don't expect updates on Superstars or NXT, though. I rarely watch Superstars and haven't bothered with NXT since the first couple of weeks of season two. As for TNA, ROH, or anything else... Don't expect much. I'll watch iMPACT maybe once or twice a month but won't even watch the full two hours. I read more about ROH than I actually see, so that won't work. You get the idea...

As for Christian himself, I'll do plenty of coverage on him when I can. As I write this, Christian is currently out of action with a high ankle sprain, although his return seems imminent. When he returns, anything he does in a show will probably get its own post. If you're a peep, you'll enjoy that. If you're not, you don't have to read it. I'll keep my objective opinions on shows and my bias towards Christian separate.

Between the regular synopses of the WWE shows and PPVs, I'll make less serious posts that are more like my tweets for anyone that enjoys a good chuckle. Or maybe I'll pick one topic a week to harp on... I really haven't decided. All I know is that they'll be less formal and serious than the summaries.

The last things I want to say is that:

A) This is my first blog of any sorts. I've always viewed blogs as a silly way for people to promote the self-importance of their own lives and ideas. Despite now creating one myself, I do still hold that opinion. However, I think creating and maintaining one about a subject I greatly enjoy will be good for me. I want to do this as a way to take stress off of myself and create an escape. I don't necessarily expect to pick up a lot of readers. If other people enjoy it, than that's nice too, but I won't get caught up in how many people read and comment, etc. I'll still link new posts to Twitter and whatnot, but I won't pester anyone on Twitter or elsewhere about reading the blog. If they want to, they will. If they don't, that's cool.

B) The other reason why I wanted my own place to post about wrestling was because Twitter obviously doesn't allow for long, thought out ideas and the people that run most wrestling forums are self-righteous jerks. Not all of them are. There are some really good fan sites out there. But most places where it's a neutral site for everyone to post in a traditional message board format tend to suck. The moderation is too strict and the smarks are... Too smarky. I like being in control of my own domain. I can post what I want, when I want. It can be long and informative. It can be eloquent. It can even be vulgar and downright hilarious. Best of all: I don't have to worry about someone else deleting it. Moderation sucks. I'm not going to be a strict mod to anyone who wants to post. Pretty much the one thing I don't like is cut and dry trolling. I'm sure I'll have to deal with it eventually. I won't define what I considering to be trolling. I really don't know how. All I know is when I see it, I know what it is.

That's all. This post ended up being a little bit longer than I thought it would be. If you read it all, I hope it didn't bore you and apologize if it did. If you skimmed: Good for you brother. We already have something in common.

Peace,

Daniel
