WWE SmackDown, May 17: GSM's Analysis and Aftermath
May 18, 2013
Since becoming a wrestling fan in April 2008, I've seen my passion for the product grow as each day passes. While I may have started watching wrestling later than some would think, it doesn't mean that my love for the business is any less existent. Although I had a brief experience writing for the WWE Universe (WWE's social networking site at the time) in late 2009, it wasn't until May 2010 that I was introduced to a larger audience in the form of Bleacher Report. Since being accepted to write for the site, I've had the fortunate opportunity to write as a Featured Columnist (as of March 2011) and hone my craft as a journalist. As a senior in high school, I plan on attending college next year to major in the field of journalism. Aside from Bleacher Report, I also submit my work to the likes of PWMania, Kayfabe Kickout, Pro Wrestling Powerhouse and other established sites.
Outside of watching wrestling, I've been training in MMA since January 2010, where I currently hold a second degree green belt status. Over the course of my lifetime, I've traveled to a variety of places that include Europe, Australia, Jamaica and other luxurious locations. I've attended a number of Raw and SmackDown tapings over the years, as well as a number of indy events and house shows. My ultimate goal is to one day work for the WWE and encourage others to pursue their lifelong dream as well.
Through my writing, I look to inspire, entertain and enlighten others with my vast knowledge of wrestling history. I strive on maintaining a positive mental attitude in both my wrestling writings and life in general. Of course, I couldn't have attained as much success as I have without the continuous support of my faithful followers, so for that, I genuinely thank you. As best said by Heidi Johnson, "Always concentrate on how far you have come, rather than how far you have left to go."
