It has been a crazy time in the world. The outbreak of COVID-19 has left the entire world in quarantine, attempting to stop the spread of the first pandemic in decades. No one has gone unaffected.

Wrestling has been affected in a big way though perhaps avoided the fallout more than most entertainment and sports. WWE and AEW have felt confident enough to hold empty arena matches on closed sets.

It has been a unique experience, but the end result has been surprisingly effective. Both sides have made strides in a short time and delivered including WWE doing the unthinkable and holding WrestleMania 36 without a single fan in attendance.

There's so much to say on what has been happening, so I needed to sit down and put words on the page about where we all are at this point and how it has been both problematic and inspiring that wrestling has continued on.

AEW has been on an incredible run. Its February string of Dynamites was one of the best months of wrestling I have seen in a long time. AEW Revolution had major hype even with half the card thrown together in the last week.

The top matches had so much potential. Chris Jericho vs. Jon Moxley was a top notch main event match that was easily going to outshine their disastrous past. Cody vs. MJF had an incredible story behind it that had dominated AEW.

Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega vs. The Young Bucks was a story build over years to get to a match that had the easiest potential to steal the show.

It was to be an exciting night, and AEW certainly delivered on that.

It's been a while since I have talked about wrestling on here, over a month now. With a number of big moments over this last month, I thought it was about time to talk wrestling again.

Instead of a typical review though, I wanted to do something different. I just wanted to talk about whatever was on my mind so that I can focus on what I feel was essential. That will mean less structure to all of this and no direct results.

If you are coming into this looking for the results of the shows, I'd suggest just checking the Wikipedia pages. I'm here to just say whatever interests me about wrestling right now.

2019 in WWE started so well. I have rarely watched a Road to WrestleMania that was better. Even NXT brought its A-game earliest in the year. Stars emerged, and the best in the business got their due. It was a special time.

However, what followed grew progressively more frustrating. That same talent that was elevated was shoved to the side. Old stars emerged as well as celebrities so that WWE could appease Saudi Arabia more than the fans.

WWE told some of its worst stories in recent memory including telling a bad story with Mike and Maria Kanellis then telling it again with Lana and Rusev. This company just could not get out of its way.

Despite all that, there were many great matches and moments that defined this year, and I want to celebrate that rather than dwelling on the bad.

This week will be the last time I post these Week in Review articles. I will do a Year in Review next week, and then I'm done. I want to step back and handle covering wrestling in a less structured manner going forward.

WWE has been exhausting to watch for long stretches this year, but I have stuck to it through sheer force of will. It is time to let the show rest a bit so that I can enjoy wrestling again.

I have not decided what I will do next. I may turn my focus to covering AEW Wrestling. I may just write articles about wrestling that vary more in scope. I will let 2020 come to decide on that.
