10 New Year's Resolutions For Wrestling Fans In 2018

8. Chart A Wrestler's Growth

Imagine how smug people who sat in a crowd of 50 to see Kevin Owens or AJ Styles wrestle feel right about now. Those fans can chart the growth of these performers from independent wrestling darlings to fully-fledged WWE headliners. There's something to be said for being there when it all started.

On the UK scene alone, a number of wrestlers look like they could be in the next batch of stars who leave an impression on NXT and the WWE main roster. Even if they don't, what have you got to lose? It feels damn good to see someone you respect work their way to the top, and even better when you can tell friends you were there at the beginning.

For extra fun, keep tabs on a wrestler's progression with those pals and become engrossed in that man/woman's career. Such 'rags to riches' stories are more likely than ever before thanks to WWE's revamped outlook on independent wrestling in the modern era.

If a performer you grow to love makes it to the big time, you'll have a story to tell.
