Cliff Morgan's Wrestling Vault 2025 Year in Review

 Happy New Year wrestling fans!

Wow, would ya look at that? 2025 is already behind us. What a year it was, eh?

It was certainly a year for me, both good and bad, but I've decided to highlight the good here and remember 2025 for what it was. My first, full-calendar year with the Wrestling Vault. I made a lot of changes to how I work and write and I think that I've laid a solid foundation for the blog for next year. 

But, let's not get too ahead of ourselves here, let's take a peek at what 2025 looked like, yeah? 

Weekly Watchlist 080 - Wrestling Roulette - Christmas Special

Welcome, welcome, one and all, and Happy Holidays! This is the 80th edition of the Weekly Watchlist which means only one thing!

 

The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette! 

 

Yes, that's right folks, it's time for the once-every-10-weeks tradition to return! You guys know the deal (and if you don't, I break it down in the Weekly Roundup), I let a random number generator pick matches from my master spreadsheet of matches. I've got over 2500 matches to pick from (including stuff I've watched already, obviously) so only the RNG gods know what I'll be watching this week!

Why don't you read on and find out, eh? 

 

Weekly Watchlist 079 - Limit Break

What's the story, enthusiasts of elastic elbowing?

Burning the midnight oil for this post, something I hate doing, but circumstances this week led to this one being a last-minute review. 

If all goes as planned, I'll be better prepared for next week and not drafting my intro paragraph in the wee hours of Friday evening. But, c'est la vie.

Weekly Watchlist 078 - Last Battle of Atlanta

What's the story, aficionados of affected aggression?

Got something of a historical matchup for you folks this week. Less focus on the in-ring action and more on what this match inspired. I can't always review the very best wrestling on planet earth, though I do try, so please be mindful of that this week. Now, that's not to say this isn't worth a read! Don't click off the page so quickly now, dammit! I still think this is more than worth your time! 

C'mon, just give it a chance, yeah? I promise, you'll find something you'll enjoy.
