OK, I have never done this before, but here I go.

As I write this, Cyber Sunday is about five days in the past. I had wanted to do it much sooner, but my schedule just didn’t allow for it until now. Yet I have carefully avoided as much Cyber Sunday news as I could so that I’m coming into this fresh and without prejudices.

Cyber Sunday is a young WWE PPV. So young it’s probably not even close to its fifth annual airing yet. “In storyline,” the event was born out of the “Eric Bischoff as RAW GM” era and offered fans a chance to make key PPV decisions themselves… or at least try to… by voting for key match elements, like who should get a title shot, what type of match two fueding wrestlers should be involved in, who the guest referee for another match would be, and so forth.

Since the results are announced live at the PPV, it adds in a fun element of suspense and involvement, and as such it has become one of my Top 5 WWE PPVs, in terms of having fun watching it.

This year, I decided I wanted to handle Cyber Sunday in a way that is, at least for me, unique. Rather than watching the whole thing live and blogging about it anywhere from a few hours to a few days later, I would react to the matches on my blog as I was watching them.

The initial plan was to do this during the PPV, live. But family obligations intervened and I ended up having to TIVO Cyber Sunday. So now, I finally have the time. Here goes. Grab whatever you please, from beer and pizza to a pomegranate and soda water. Whatever trips your trigger. Because I’m about to hit play and I’m going to TRY to watch through every single match and blog about them AS I watch. No pauses (I hope.) No fast forwarding (unless a match absolutely stinks, then, well…). Just pure watching and blogging.

As for me, I have an ice-cold bottle of Tropicana Orangeade at the ready. Heart-healthy stuff. We’re all set. PLAY.
