Happy Holidays!

Even though it’s a short week due to the Christmas Holiday, I still wanted to send out a message to say Merry Christmas to those that celebrate (and Happy Friday to those that don’t).

Instead of the normal long-form newsletter I normally send, I’m sending out an “In Case You Missed It” issue to tell you about some of the cool things that are happening in the Minutes To Bell Time and Body Slam Brigade Community.

Interview with Pro Wrestling Announcer Tony T.

Ever wonder what it’s like to do commentary for a professional wrestling show? On Episode 17 of The Daily Wrestling News Show, I had a conversation with Tony T. from the North American Wrestling Alliance. Tony made his professional wrestling broadcasting debut at NAWA’s Jingle Brawl, and he came on the show to talk about his experience. Tony talks candidly about meeting his broadcast partner moments before they went on the air, preparing for a show that features unknown talent, and what it’s like realizing a dream in broadcasting.

Is Drew McIntyre the Wrestler of the Year

In the Body Slam Brigade Facebook Group, I asked who people though should be named the Wrestler of Year. The majority of people responded with Drew McIntyre. Feel free to weigh in on the subject by commenting on this post. Jon Moxley has also been discussed in the group.

On the subject of Drew McIntyre, I really enjoyed the Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions program with Drew on the WWE Network. While we’ve heard about Drew’s journey from the “Chosen One” to being released and finding his way back, I thought we got a lot more detail in this interview.

Pro Wrestling Pick ‘Em League

We have collaborated with Pro Wrestling Pick ‘Em to establish a private Pick ‘EM League. Pro Wrestling Pick ‘Em is a platform where we can record our picks for major wrestling shows and test our skills against one another. We’re doing a practice round for the next couple of months. Come join us and get used to the platform because we’ll start a new season after WrestleMania. If you’re interested, send me an email at [email protected], and I will add you to the pool.

Join Us for Live Discussions During Most Shows

John D’Aconti started hosting live conversations during most televised wrestling shows. You can join in on the conversation, read our jokes, tell us what you like, and tell us what you don’t like. We have these conversations in the Minutes To Bell Time Public Group. Join the Group Here.

Check Out My New Book

This one isn’t free, but I have put so much time into this project that trust me. . .it’s pretty much free. I’m about to self-publish a 1200 plus page full-color reference book called “The Wins and Losses.” You can see the cover in the next block and you can order the book at TheWinsandLosses.com. I’ve tracked the 2020 match results for over 400 wrestlers, and I’ve compiled them in this book along with some top ten lists and articles. if you like numbers, this is a fun resource.

You can pre-order the book for $10 right now. The price goes to $20 on January 1.

Thanks for Reading and Happy Holidays,Ryan Joy
