The week in review is a compilation of the research, writing, audio and video output of Tony Richards and the team at the Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel
January 4th, 2026 Community Update: I just wanted to take a moment here at the beginning of our regular weekly review of the publishing in the previous week here in the Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel to thank all of you for subscribing and supporting us here. Right before the clock struck Midnight on New Year’s Eve, we obtained our 400th subscriber to the Time Tunnel. Before I decided to launch the Time Tunnel I approached some of the most respected wrestling websites out there today with my ideas as regular features on their sites. None were interested. They did not believe anyone would be interested in either daily nor flashback looks at the territory era.
But I believed you would be interested, and 400 of your so far have committed and over 10% of that believed enough to become Premium Investors to support my work and to keep it going. Thank you for your support in 2025. I have. lot of new ideas for you in 2026, beginning with our expert analysts and commontators joining me on our weekly podcast for recaps of the remaining territories in 1985. That is just the beginning of my plans for you this year. Hang with me and invite others you may know who would enjoy this ride as well. No like, share, comment and re-stack goes unnoticed. I have a heart full of appreciation for each and every one of you.
