Anyway, I produced a ton of Mania content over the last few weeks and ICYMI, here’s a thread of just about every piece:
Took a look at Drew’s road to this weekend, pretty painless piece tbh, very few empty arena alterations.

Here we have an article that was intended to be focused on the pressure of “the moment” and instead, became about Rhea’s importance to the women’s division’s future.

This piece required me to actually watch every Bray segment since his return. Ironic as the final product doesn’t utilise that information in any way, shape or form.

I must say, this was an absolute pleasure to produce. Really increased my appreciation for Becky and I genuinely think she’s been wonderful in this role. Enjoyed rewatching her last year very much.

Wasn’t sure I’d get this piece out until Edge’s promo on Monday which for me, really framed the whole appeal and story of this match. What a job they’ve done, immense.

Clearly, my Roman feature just wasn’t to be so today, I opted to produce a little bonus piece instead. Very different stylistically but refreshingly easy to write.

Then on the podcast front, I was pretty proud of our preview show. If you don’t fancy a long read, here’s a couple hours of audio.

Naturally, the undercard brings out some silliness and we play the hits but even still:

If you’d have told me last fall that with Mania just a day away, I’d have produced that amount of content and enjoyed most of the process, I’d have been incredibly relieved.
Really felt done for a moment there, glad to prove myself wrong.

As always, thanks to Fightful for the opportunity & trusting me throughout, even after dumb tweets.
Major props to Jezza though, who really gave me an outlet with the podcast, revitalising my passion.
If you’ve enjoyed any of the above content, those are the folks to thank.
