The Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast - Episode 70: Trish & Sarah & Pollock & Thurston

We are back! And we are joined by John Pollock of Post Wrestling and Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics for a wide-ranging discussion. We cover WWE's trip to Saudi Arabia, and the financial reliance of TKO on the Saudi shows, as well as the impact on talent and the TKO exploitation of non-union workers. From there we move onto a discussion of the challenges specific to wrestling journalism in an age where promotions now have financial interests in media outlets. We also cover the ethical and potential legal challenges in current day journalism, plus the impact of aggregation and tribalism on how news stories are broken and widely talked about. Finally, we discuss changes in wrestler development, the impact on independent promotions and the leverage of the biggest stars in the age of two major promotions.
