Breaking the Brain
By Scott Keith on March 9, 2020
Scott,
You've made it apparent in the past that the blog is a revenue source for you and reviewing current shows (be it WWE/NXT, AEW, etc) nets you the most hits. But what is the breaking point for you? What does it take for wrestling, especially something you dislike reviewing, to break your brain and burn you out and make you take a step back, revenue be damned? Let's be honest, you can't get excited to sit in front of an episode of SMACKDOWN when you can devote 2 hours to family time or whatever.
Just watching out for your mental health there, pal.
My mental health is fine. Smackdown annoys me but it's still recognizable as a wrestling TV show at least. Plus I have multiple alternatives now like Dynamite and Powerrr and even NXT two days delayed if need be. It makes me angry but it doesn't break my brain like Vince Russo booked TNA or late era WCW Thunder did.
As I've said before, what really really really killed me in 2005-2011 was that WWE was so goddamn boring and there was zero alternative, which is why I had to retreat to WWE 24/7 and review old Prime Time episodes to have something to watch. Now I literally have so many choices and shows to review that even if I decide to drop Smackdown again I can just replace it with NXT or random New Japan shows or AEW Dark or whatever.
