One is that I found work and rarely found the time to write anymore. It happened that I worked over 10 hours a day, and the weekends were filled with travelling and - you guessed it - wrestling.
The second is that I decided to step back from WWE wrestling. Several happenings lead me to lose faith in the future of this company, draining my interest for RAW, SmackDown, and the PPVs alike. The only show I still follow is NXT.
But now, my work situation has quieted down, and I am ready to come back! Especially since I think that the European leagues and smaller wrestling shows deserve attention as well! Plus, guess who's an aspiring wrestler herself by now: that's right, your humble author!
So, that's all about me, lets go on to my end of the year resumé - wrestling-style!

Most impressive Wrestlers 2014
- Adrian Severe - This man! What can I say. He's perfect! The perfect mixture of high flying and high risk moves, and sheer power and strength. You have missed out if you haven't seen him in the ring!!!
- Rich Swann - Watch his "30 Top Moves of Rich Swann" video on YouTube! Go! And then let me tell you, YES, he is that amazing!
- Uhaa Nation - He's big, that means he's slow, right? Wrong! He jumps, he spins, he runs, he hits. Hard!
- Shane Strickland - Put a small man in a match against a bullhammer like "Bad Bones" John Klinger and you'll see what he has to offer - and what he can take!
- "Bad Bones" John Klinger - I have to admit, I'm biased here because I had the time to spend some more time with this man than just watching him wrestle. Impressive in the ring and despite his reputation and fame still a more than correct guy.
- Red Rage - Party! If this guy makes it way to the ring, I dare you to stay seated! Seldom, I have witnessed a man in the ring who manages to draw in the crowd like Red Rage does!
- Felix Reiter - Cf. Red Rage - but the other way round. You simply love to hate him!
