It’s been a long, weird year, has 2020. A year that’s not gone as expected. A year that’s seen us lose people throughout wrestling, and unfortunately the wider world as we all came to terms with the global pandemic.
I’ve stopped, deleted and restarted writing this column multiple times – so as to not go into excruciating detail in a year that started out with promise, but ended up being one that a lot of us would probably want to forget.
2020 was the year where we all had “plans change” on us. It was the year where life changed. The year where staying at home became the new going out, and where we all had to find “a new normal.” Zoom became something other than a mocking catchphrase from Bob’s Burgers. Masks became mandatory outside of Hallowe’en. Keeping your distance from others was something you had to do for reasons other than smell.
