I can't thank y'all enough for reading, sharing, celebrating and hyping each other up around the QWI this year. But above everything, thank you to everyone for helping rebuild me in some part. Here's to getting back to everything in 2026. Enjoy your holidays, however you do so.π
That's evidenced by the sporadic podcast uploads over the last six months. I didn't know if I'd be able to do the list this year when I came back in June, but what it did this year is help me finally get back in my groove. I love honoring all of you, and y'all helped heal me.
2025 was a year of deep personal betterment for me both physically and mentally that gave me the confidence to come back instead of just disappearing. I got on new meds. I got better at taking care of myself. I probably came back earlier than I should have.
To open up a little, this year has been very hard for me, the person behind all the articles, interviews & work that I do. I took a 3 month break from everything because I couldn't shake thoughts of ending my life that persisted through working on last year's list & into 2025.
I'm fine being that person for those who choose to do so. All I want is everyone to succeed & grow to their own definition of success. The list has criteria, but don't make me or the list the focal point of your path through wrestling. No one should wrestle for an audience of 1.
