Which I would like to say I am thankful for on two fronts.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, these performers are all people. This can be hard to forget from time to time. This time of year is not known for its high productivity overall. That is unless you work in retail, or in the service\/entertainment industry. But these performers deserve a few weeks off at the end of the year if they choose to do so. On that subject, I would like to jump on my soapbox and say that I believe that major companies should be expected to provide healthcare and a 401(k) for their performers. If you disagree, I would love to know your thoughts, and I would be open to debating you on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is that it is always good to take some time to not live and breathe professional wrestling all the time. Anything in excess leads to negative feelings. So taking a few weeks to get excited about new signings and look forward to the next big card, as well as wrestling in general in 2019, is good for the soul. Many things in this world are not great for your mental well-being. Wrestling for me is one of the things that makes me excited on a consistent basis. That being said, I would like to say thank you to all of you that read this weekly recap and the performers and crew that help make it happen.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Tyler has been a wrestling fan for 20 years.
