The Spot Show Story

I'm Travis. I've watched wrestling off and on my whole life but I became a wrestling FAN on October 5th, 1997. Recognize that date? That is the night The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had the inaugural HELL IN THE CELL match at WWE's In Your House: Bad Blood. 

I was four days away from turning 13 and hadn't really watched WWE for a while. The NWO angle in WCW had peeked my interest and so I began watching WWE pay-per-views with my favorite cousin Andy. Thank God this was my first!

I had heard of The Undertaker but knew almost nothing about HBK. That night however, on a whim and because I liked his cocky attitude (which he could back up) I picked HBK to go over (win the match, in wrestling terminology). First of all, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH to see as a 12 year old kid! The icing on the cake was that my new lifelong hero HBK (still my favorite to this day) won the match! With some help from Kane, who was making his first appearance that night.

MY FATE WAS SEALED! I was absolutely ENAMORED with anything wrestling. That began a journey through everything WWE I could get my hands on, VHS tapes, magazines, action figures. I remember I had to go to bed at 9pm so, and this is a true story, I would lay on my floor and watch the last hour of RAW with one eye peeking out through the space between the bottom of the door and the floor. It may seem sad, but I like to think of it as a testimony to my commitment to one of the great loves of my life!

So here I am, almost 17 years later. Still in love with Pro Wrestling, jaded, discontent with SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, but still faithful and more importantly optimistic about it's future. I wanted to create a YouTube page that offered people who were interested the opportunity to hear from their favorite superstars and get fresh takes on some of the great stories we can't get enough of.

Now, I am starting this blog and am beginning to work on a 3 to 5 segment YouTube show that would air every two weeks (maybe more) that would go over current wrestling, and look back to wrestling past. So I want YOUR FEEDBACK! Tell me the kind of wrestling show You'd like to see. What are the things you care about? If you could do the perfect wrestling show (recognizing you and I don't have access to WWE video archives) what would it look like? Give me your feedback. Let's see what kind of channel we can rebuild together!

Thanks to all those who subscribe, comment, like, and share my videos! You are what keeps the channel going! I look forward to your continued support!!!
