Should Wrestling Bloggers Quit Writing About Wrestling?

person near clear glass window pane and window blinds low-light photography
It's been 5 months since I wrote a piece so I apologize for that but lately, I've seen a few wrestling bloggers say that they thought of leaving the wrestling blogging world behind and I wanna address that because it's an important topic we as a community need to talk about. 

I've been blogging about professional wrestling (more specifically WWE because I'm a WWE shill) for a year and a half now and one of the reasons why I do what I do on this site is that it's my form of mental therapy for me and I will always cherish that. However, not every blogger feels this way and thanks to my quote "influence", I've reached out to some of them and here are the common things I've got from them. 

#1 "I'm not good enough because my work doesn't get much visitors" 


I don't know if they've been writing for 2 years, 3 years but that sounds like somebody that has been blogging for that long. Anyways, if you do I get it. I really get it given that you've worked so damn hard on putting out written content for years and still get about 20 viewers, 10 viewers per post, however, think about this. 

If you got 5 to 10 viewers per post then it's like a group of friends reading your post and if your site has 20 visitors per post then it's like an entire classroom that clicked so fast just to find out your thoughts on a show. 

My solution to this is instead of wanting for more visitors, cherish the viewers that reads your stuff on a regular basis and develop great relationships with them because what you're doing is you're building a community for fans to talk about a niche they love that you composed from the beginning and that's something to be extremely proud of honestly. 

#2 The hate is too much. 


Oh, I feel you on that one. Interacting with like minded people is great but it's not without encountering some piece of human faeces. The hate is tough out here in these blogging streets and whenever you make a single typo, somebody most likely will use the * symbol to correct which can be a good thing depending on how he or she says it but it can also be a bad thing. 

I've learned from a very young age that people will have a reason as to why they don't like you (sometimes warranted, other times odd and just plain hateful) and you're probably replying this with "Well, it's easy for you". 

In actuality, no it isn't. I'm a human being and sometimes when I'm not in a good mood, I read a terrible comment that either boils my mind with a lot of anger or feel sorry for myself but at least I'm trying and I encourage you guys to do the same. 

#3: Writer's block.


I know you read the title like "hallelujer" but it is one of the most frustrating things as a writer and the reason why is because you're simply stuck not knowing what to write next. The thing that works for me is taking a break. 

Giving yourself some time to relax heals your frustrations and it grows your desire to write when ready. Your writing may not be great but one thing's certain is that you actually wrote something. A very wise person once said:

"The worst thing you write is better than the best thing you didn't write.”


You're probably reading the headline like" why didn't you answer the question? Why are you dodging answers like you're a politician?" Should you quit writing or blogging about wrestling?

It really depends on your life situation. If you don't feel the passion then it could be the best decision but I feel like this is a situation where you should really think hard about and see if it's the right choice or not. 

The real question is, have you or have you not thought of quitting blogging and if so, why that is? Put any of those thoughts in the comments below. Follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
