This is probably goodbye (for now)

Hey all,

Just a quick note:

I’m not sure if I’m long for attending any more conventions/autograph signings — or, at the very least, I’ve already significantly cut down on the number of conventions/singings and don’t see that changing.

The hobby has gotten increasingly expensive and I cannot justify to myself the exceedingly high prices that have seemingly become the new norm (wrestlers who were once $25-$30 combos in the pre-pandemic years are now routinely charging between $40-$60). It’s become too much, too fast, and I’m probably moving on to dedicating my money toward other interests.

This doesn’t mean you won’t ever see me around — you will. I’m just going to be a little more selective with where I go and who I choose to meet.

Take care,

Anthony/iseedoubleu

I had two main wants for this show: AEW’s “Legit” Leyla Hirsch and the former ROH Women’s Champion Rok-C, who is reportedly headed to NXT 2.0 imminently. There were a few other guests that I had on my radar as well, so let’s get to it:
