Alright, so today I’m diving into something that I’ve been trying to get a handle on for a while now – keeping track of all the WWE releases in 2024. It’s a bit of a mess, honestly, with wrestlers coming and going, so I figured, why not try to organize it all? I’m going to share my whole process, from start to finish, so maybe it can help someone else out there too.
Getting Started: Where Do I Even Begin?
First off, I needed a place to start. So, I just opened up a blank document. I thought about using a spreadsheet, but I wanted something a little more… freeform, I guess. Somewhere I could jot down notes and stuff too.
Collecting the Data: This is a Pain
This was the hard part. There’s no one official, updated list anywhere that I could find. I spent hours, I swear, going through news articles, wrestling sites, and even some forums. Every time I thought I had a complete list, I’d stumble upon another name. It was a real headache, let me tell you.
Organizing the Mess: Time to Make Sense of it All
Once I had a decent-sized list, I started to organize it. I figured the best way was to group them by the month they were released. So, I created sections for each month – January, February, and so on.
- January: A couple of names here that I recognized, some I didn’t. Made a note to look into those later.
- February: This is where it started getting tricky. Some folks were released, then brought back, then released again? What’s going on here?
- March – December: A long list of names, and lots of question marks. Is this accurate? Who knows at this point.
Double-Checking and Updating: Never Ending
Then came the tedious part – I had to double-check everything. I went back through those news articles, cross-referenced names, and tried to confirm the dates. I also added little notes next to each name, like their previous roles or any rumors I found about why they were let go.
I’m still updating this thing. It feels like every other day there’s a new announcement. It’s a never-ending process, but I feel like I’m getting closer to having a somewhat reliable list.
The Final Product: Is It Worth It?
So, is this list perfect? Nope, not even close. But it’s something. It’s a place to start, at least. It helped me keep track of all the changes, and I think it’s interesting to see how the roster has evolved throughout the year.
I’m going to keep updating it as best as I can. It’s a bit of a passion project at this point, I guess. Maybe one day, WWE will make it easier for us fans and just give us a clean, updated list. Until then, I’ll just keep plugging away at this one.
