  • Final Thoughts:
  • In today’s entertainment landscape, everyone has a content platform and charges a subscription. We’ve cut the cord only to buy back all the same channels independently. Wrestling has a few people providing content from rankings to podcasts to articles and most if not all charge for access. I’m also asking people to join me on this journey and possibly subscribe to me. I’m not a lifer. I don’t come with a history or legacy of equity built in within the wrestling community. I don’t have a name that people just see and jump on board. Yet. So in the meantime, my plan is to continue setting the bar for quality in content and build that trust from the ground up. I think the people I’ve met so far and done stories on, etc will attest to the respect I have for the sport, the people in it, and the approach I have. I’m excited for how Ive grown and look forward to much more!
