With 2018 almost over and the New Year approaching, I decided it's time for another blog update. Today, I'm here to discuss everything related to my blog and what you expect in 2019. Enjoy!
- First off, I again want to thank everyone who tuned in to my Dog League coverage over the past four months. Those posts generated a lot more traffic than last year, and I definitely felt a lot more comfortable the second time around. Plus, I also managed to avoid feeling any burn-out, which is the most important thing. Going forward, you can expect September-December to be dominated by the Dog League, though there may be a few other posts sprinkled in. I have already planned some changes for next year to keep things fresh so that no one, least of all me, gets bored.
- Hey, American Dad is coming back! The show has been on hiatus since May, but new episodes will begin at the end of January, so get excited for that. I'll be bringing back my weekly reviews, and I'll have to find away to balance that with other content on the blog. There's also a new season of Cloak & Dagger next year, so I don't expect to be covering any other TV shows, as these two will give my plenty of work.
- Of course, the headliner for 2019 is the return of Henry's Universe Mode. I have not been producing weekly shows since December of 2017, well over a year now. Raw and SmackDown will now be weekly, however NXT will stick to the same format as last year, Takeovers only. I did mention bringing in 205 Live at some point, but that obviously fell through, so I'm sticking with the same three shows moving forward. I've already pre-written the first full month of content, and I've been really enjoying it, so hopefully you will too.
- If you've gotten this far, how about a reward? It's time to reveal my schedule for Season 4 of Henry's Universe Mode. Now, I've gone back and forth on this, but I've decided to done pay-per-view a month, with a mix between solo and dual branded. I was thinking of doing more frequent events, but that probably would've slowed everything down, and that's the last thing I wanted.
Season 4 Calendar(in universe, this has no effect on when shows are posted):
January: Royal Rumble(Raw/SmackDown)
February: Elimination Chamber(Raw)
March: WrestleMania(Raw/SmackDown)
April: Backlash(Raw.SmackDown)
May: Extreme Rules(Raw)
June: Money in the Bank(Raw/SmackDown)
July: Battleground(SmackDown)
August: Summerslam(Raw/SmackDown)
September: Clash of Champions(SmackDown)
October: No Mercy(Raw)
November: Survivor Series(Raw/SmackDown)
December: Starrcade(SmackDown)
Any NXT Takeover show would just be distributed in there, mostly at the Big 4 events.
- Finally, I just wanted to address my WWE recaps, which I cancelled back in July. Since then, I've felt no real desire to cover the real life product, and I've felt like my blog has done just fine without any extra content. Saying that, it's no impossible that kind of content could return. The biggest problem is that amount of time I have to dedicate to it, between watching the show and writing up a review. Also, I just don't like the direction WWE is taking, but that's more of a personal issue. I certainly wouldn't be willing to say they're never coming back, but I would need some sort of drastic shift to get me interested.
Hopefully this wasn't too much information to drop at one time, I'm always subconscious about how many words I put in these posts. I'm looking forward to 2019, and hopefully something that I've mentioned today has gotten you more excited for what I've got coming up. 2018 has been a good year for my blog, but hopefully next year will be even better. Sayonara 2018! I'll see you here, on January 1st, 2019, for Monday Night Raw!
