The New and Improved Figure 4 Weekly, featuring ME!

[Bix]

A few weeks ago, Bryan Alvarez approached me about handling basically whatever he doesn't on the American wrestling & MMA side in Figure 4 Weekly. So now I'm everywhere and we hope to make F4W better than ever. Go read it!

Congrats on the appointment.

Heard you on the open lines pod on Monday and thought how great such a pairing would be.

 

Do more audio!

[Matt D]

Probably a mild understatement to say he's lucky to have you.

Understatement of the century here

Good luck! I gave up reading the F4W a long time ago, because it was mostly Observer lite. I'm sure you'll bring in the different perspective that's needed.

I just read this week's edition... are you starting next week?

[Zoo Enthusiast]

Can you have your own Q&A section called "Bix Please"?

I just read this week's edition... are you starting next week?

Actually started last week. "Officially" started with the one that went up yesterday.

Congratulations Bix, hopefully you can add some life back to F4W.

Congratulations. That is fantastic. When I met Bryan in Vegas about a year ago I suggested that he'd add a third person into the mix. Never thought about you being that person, even if it makes perfect sense. I will have to start reading the newsletter again.

Yeah. F4W has been lacking personality for awhile. I remember when Bryan used to have those year-end issues about WCW and I thought the jokes were pretty funny. Now, it just feel is Alan & Steve Sims writing international reports, some Vinny V rehash (and not even the fun stuff like when he used to review Candice Michelle flicks and whatnot) and very little exciting - especially because by the time it comes out, it feel likes everything is three days old. And that's the problem - things slipped to the point that when there was good stuff, I often missed it because F4W did become "can miss" material. I've written a few articles for Bryan over the years which he's published (and I greatly appreciate it) but sometimes so many weeks elapsed between when I wrote the piece and when it went up, that it got a little frustrating. (I thought my WWE Network viability piece was pretty decent, except that it took so many weeks between when I wrote it and when Bryan published it, Dave had already changed the landscape considerably when he confirmed that they were going over-the-top. Then the piece ran and there was exactly ZERO comments on it. When that happens to you, you can't help but selfishly feel like you're working in a vacuum.) Hopefully with a new player in the mix, Bix can either get the focus to be more larger-piece, bigger-scope stuff (like looking at the history of such-and-such) or more up-to-date pieces. Either way, adding David to the newsletter is good for keeping things fresh and generating some excitement. Congratulations!
