It will be 10 years tomorrow since the final issue of Power Slam went on sale: Issue 237 of PS, featuring John Cena on the cover, hit newsagents’ shelves on July 17, 2014.
In my farewell to the readers in that last issue of the magazine, I announced that Pro Wrestling Through The Power Slam Years would be my first post-magazine project. How naive I was to imagine in July 2014 that I would complete this encyclopedic tome by November 2014. It actually took until September 2015 to compose the 240,000+ words that comprised PWTTPSY. Of course it did.
Many people have asked me over the last eight-and-a-half years if I would ever publish the Power Slam Years in print. It is something I have been considering for some time. Before I do so, however, I would like to extend and update parts of PWTTPSY. Much has happened since September 2015, obviously.
Ten years on from the closure of PS seems like an opportune time to announce that I will be starting work on the extended and updated version of The Power Slam Years later this year (September, most likely), with a view to publishing the revised version, both in print and as an eBook, next year. Learning from experience, I am not going to set myself an unrealistic deadline for the completion of this project.
Been there. Never again.
