A quick note before I get started, I am going to be cutting down on the number of shows I review this year. I’ll still be doing a decent amount, but I want to write about some other things, and it’s hard to do that when you’re trying to keep up to date on multiple promotions.

However, if you are looking for in-depth reviews leave it a couple of months. At the moment, I’m just going to be getting to grips with things.
