ZWrestleTalk at 5. Oh How Times Change.

Triple Z reflects on ZWrestleTalk's big anniversary.

This is super cool. ZWrestleTalk is five years old. Which in my opinion is pretty impressive considering how many outlets/blogs end up calling it quits. 

I'm proud that this site is still going, and it has more of a purpose. It is crazy to think that five years ago my very first blog was about The Authority (Stephanie McMahon and Triple H). This was before WWE decided to split the brands again. Countless of great wrestling moments have transpired. TNA is no longer even TNA! It's called IMPACT now. Lucha Underground wasn't around five years ago, and we were one of the first to write about it. They still follow us on Twitter to this day. Jeff Jarrett created Global Force Wrestling, which I did countless blogs on and it fizzled out. When the site first started WWE NXT was fairly new, and the WWE Network was a couple months away from launch. 

It's been five years of me doing predictions for WWE pay-per-views. Sometimes I got it right, and other times I was way off. 

It's been fun to express my opinion on part timers, Sting's WWE debut, AJ Styles joining WWE, and the evolution of NXT. There is many other moments I can recount that were super fun to blog. 

So I'd like to take the time to thank some people. I want to thank the current staff of ZWrestleTalk. Dom Bouchard, thanks for bringing some of the biggest hot takes in wrestling to this site. One day we will get to that podcast (by the way our guest list is LOADED. Thanks Dom). I would like to thank the new writers to the site Amanda and JD. I'm excited to see what we will accomplish. 

I'd also like to thank the countless other writers who made quick stops at ZWrestleTalk. They helped the site grow too. 

I would also like to thank all the guests who have ever done guest predictions for The Wrestling BreakDownZ. It's a long list so I'm only going to highlight a few. Josh.0, Zach McGibbon, and Zack Heydorn brought some outstanding guest work to the site. 

So you may ask how Triple Z is spending his fifth anniversary? I'm going to NXT Detroit tonight. Blogs will follow that event. I didn't even realize it was ZWrestleTalk's anniversary when I originally got the tickets for NXT. It just makes this day even cooler. 

Thanks for the ride these past five years. I have enjoyed the comments and questions from our fans. It has been amazing to watch the site grow in viewership, and I'm confident we will be hitting more milestones soon. 

Also by the way the old blogs are comical. If you want a laugh go into the archives and find some classics. The comment section use to be crazy too.

ZWrestleTalk is 5!
