  1. Two years of BoredWrestlingFan.com

    Yes folks, it’s true!  This Wednesday, June 9th, will mark two years of BoredWrestlingFan.com!

    Two years ago I’d read an article about how to start a successful blog.  It said to write about something you know – and dammit, I know my professional wrestling.  I’ve been a fan of this business since I was just a little kid, growing up watching it week in and week out.  I’ve studied the history of professional wrestling.  I’ve watched countless documentaries, seen hundreds of Pay Per Views, and have attended three WrestleManias, so this was the perfect fit for me to write about.

    JT was the first person I showed the (absolutely terrible) prototype to.  It was an ugly mess, but it was my ugly mess.  I eventually made a much nicer version of it and launched the site on June 9th, 2008.  Since then, the site has gone through major cosmetic changes, added more original content, and has had several great writers join in and help out with what once was a one man show.

    You guys are familiar with the BWF crew by now.  No introductions are needed (except for maybe Gee, who just started bringing his take on SmackDown to our site a couple weeks ago) for them, but I will say that I feel like I have the best writing team on the entire internet right here on BoredWrestlingFan.com.  Starting Monday, we’ll have another new addition, AlyKat, who will be taking over for me on Monday nights.

    On top of everything, I have to thank you, the readers, for making all the work that my staff and I have put into this site all worthwhile.  We’re turning two, and we’re still going strong!

  2. Bored Wrestling Fan turns 1!

    It’s been a year already?  Normally after a year, I get bored with websites I create and they sit around with no updates – case in point.  BoredWrestlingFan.com is different.  After a year, BWF still updates nearly every day, sometimes several times a day.  Our fan base continues to grow, and so does our site.

    A big thank you to JT (who was the only person to have seen the BWF prototype besides myself), Drowgoddess (who is now the Executive Shareholder of BWF – she paid the 10 bucks to renew the domain), Legend Killer, and tharvey1.  I couldn’t do this without you guys.  A thank you to Vincent Kennedy McMahon, whose World Wrestling Federation got me into professional wrestling at a young age.  Thank you to Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff for revitalizing wrestling in the ’90s.  Thank you to Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter for kinda sorta keeping Vince on his toes.  And mostly, thank you to all of the BWF readers for keeping us going when the shows start to suck (I’m looking at you, RAW).

    Here’s to another great year of growth for BoredWrestlingFan!
