Ringside Shadows Since February of 1999, I've written nearly two hundred editions of a wrestling column known as Ringside Shadows. During the column's prime, I was posting my thoughts at dozens of fairly large and well known sites across the web, but eventually scaled back both the frequency of my writing and the number of sites in my repertoire. Until May of 2005, when I finally decided to close this chapter in my life, I helmed The Oratory, the site that gave me my first break, alongside my good friends John C. and Dave Spinosa. I coordinated the weekly RAW grades on the site (see below), posted a monthly PPV Preview and very rarely broke out a new issue of RS. I've lost my archives of all issues posted before #62, from August of 1999, but everything I composed beyond that point has been archived here in my own little pro wrestling vault. Scroll down if you're interested in perusing my archived contributions to the RAW Review. The older ones are rather torturous, so I wouldn't really advise checking them out... #62 08/20/99 #63 08/24/99 #64 08/25/99 #65 08/30/99 #66 08/31/99 #67 09/07/99 #68 09/08/99 #69 09/10/99 #70 09/13/99 #71 09/16/99 #72 09/21/99 #73 09/24/99 #74 09/28/99 #75 10/04/99 #76 10/05/99 #77 10/08/99 #78 10/12/99 #79 10/15/99 #80 10/19/99 #81 10/20/99 #82 10/22/99 #83 10/22/99 #84 10/26/99 #85 11/02/99 #86 11/03/99 #87 11/10/99 #88 11/11/99 #89 11/16/99 #90 11/20/99 #91 11/23/99 #92 11/30/99 #93 12/07/99 #94 12/10/99 #95 12/17/99 #96 12/19/99 #97 01/04/00 #98 01/11/00 #99 01/17/00 #100 01/19/00 #101 01/25/00 #102 02/01/00 #103 02/08/00 #104 02/01/00   #105 02/20/00 #106 02/22/00 #107 02/24/00 #108 02/29/00 #109 03/11/00 #110 03/14/00 #111 03/15/00 #112 03/21/00 #113 03/23/00 #114 03/23/00 #115 03/28/00 #116 04/04/00 #117 04/08/00 #118 04/11/00 #119 04/18/00 #120 05/03/00 #121 05/16/00 #122 05/23/00 #123 05/30/00 #124 06/05/00 #125 06/06/00 #126 06/07/00 #127 06/08/00 #128 06/12/00 #129 06/13/00 #130 06/14/00 #131 06/15/00 #132 06/15/00 #133 06/16/00 #134 06/19/00 #135 06/20/00 #136 06/21/00 #137 07/12/00 #138 08/02/00 #139 08/10/00 #140 08/14/00 #141 08/30/00 #142 09/06/00 #143 09/13/00 #144 09/17/00 #145 09/27/00 #146 10/04/00 #147 10/11/00   #148 10/18/00 #149 10/25/00 #150 11/01/00 #151 11/08/00 #152 11/15/00 #153 11/26/00 #154 11/29/00 #155 12/06/00 #156 12/16/00 #157 01/10/01 #158 01/13/01 #159 01/26/01 #160 02/02/01 #161 02/09/01 #162 02/16/01 #163 02/23/01 #164 03/01/01 #165 03/09/01 #166 03/16/01 #167 03/23/01 #168 04/06/01 #169 04/14/01 #170 04/20/01 #171 05/26/01 #172 06/04/01 #173 06/26/01 #174 08/11/01 #175 09/07/01 #176 09/27/01 #177 10/03/01 #178 10/10/01 #179 10/16/01 #180 10/24/01 #181 10/30/01 #182 11/13/01 #183 11/21/01 #184 11/28/01 #185 12/05/01 #186 12/12/01 #187 08/30/02 #188 08/25/03 #189 09/29/03 The Oratory RAW Review Crew Likewise, from its inception early in the 2002 season until the spring of 2005, I hosted and contributed to a weekly recap / review / anaylsis of WWE's flagship weekly television program, Monday Night RAW. It became the real focus of my attention over my last couple of years with the site, and represented the majority of my output over my last two years as a regular wrestling columnist. I've archived my weekly contributions below, but to get the full impression (and to read my unique, inane introductions) you'll need to check out the complete archives.   02/11/2002     02/18/2002     02/25/2002     07/08/2002     07/15/2002     07/22/2002     07/29/2002     08/05/2002     08/12/2002     08/19/2002     08/26/2002     09/02/2002     09/09/2002     09/16/2002     09/23/2002     09/30/2002     10/07/2002     10/14/2002     10/21/2002     11/04/2002     11/11/2002     11/18/2002     12/03/2002     12/10/2002     12/17/2002     01/06/2003     01/13/2003       01/20/2003     01/27/2003     02/03/2003     02/10/2003     02/17/2003     02/24/2003     03/03/2003     03/10/2003     03/24/2003     03/31/2003     04/07/2003     04/14/2003     04/21/2003     05/05/2003     05/12/2003     05/19/2003     05/26/2003     06/02/2003     06/09/2003     06/23/2003     06/30/2003     07/07/2003     07/14/2003     07/21/2003     07/28/2003     08/04/2003     08/11/2003       08/18/2003     08/25/2003     09/01/2003     09/08/2003     09/22/2003     10/06/2003     10/13/2003     10/20/2003     10/27/2003     11/10/2003     11/17/2003     11/24/2003     12/15/2003     01/05/2004     01/12/2004     01/19/2004     01/26/2004     02/02/2004     02/09/2004     02/16/2004     02/23/2004     03/01/2004     03/08/2004     03/22/2004     03/29/2004     04/05/2004     04/12/2004       04/19/2004     04/26/2004     05/03/2004     05/10/2004     05/17/2004     05/24/2004     05/31/2004     06/07/2004     06/14/2004     06/21/2004     06/28/2004     07/05/2004     07/12/2004     07/19/2004     07/26/2004     08/02/2004     08/09/2004     08/16/2004     08/23/2004     08/30/2004     09/06/2004     09/13/2004     09/20/2004     09/27/2004     10/04/2004     10/11/2004     10/18/2004
