  Speaker 1: Have you been to the podcast network at aro dot
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: net A r r oe dot net. Not just one podcast,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it's twenty different podcasts that puts you in a state
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of what's the power of choice. One of the top
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: podcasts That Voice. I've spent over ten years with those
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: who have performed on NBC's The Voice. Now let's go
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: back and listen to the conversations as they were making
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: their way through that giant musical mountain. That voice only
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on Arrow dot net A r r oe dot net.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hey, hey, hey, it's that question guy,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: always asking questions because it's always so much fun to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: research for answers like this question. Why is professional wrestling
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: more popular today? Or is it plus? What's keeping those
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: wrestling fan numbers at the top of their game. My
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: name is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: but watch, listen, study, then activate. I call it the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Daily Mess because it's a chronological walk through an everyday world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It is my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and ideas. We as people tend to throw things to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the side because we think we're going to deal with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it later on. Well, when a subject arrives inside of me, dude,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it is time to dig in. It's still keeping that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: daily journal, but by doing the research, the picture will
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: become clearer. This is the daily mess. Why is professional
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: wrestling more popular today? Or is it? It's actually not
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: universally more popular than it was back in the nineteen nineties.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It only feels like it's bigger today. Let's step into
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: pro wrestling's peak and spread. The days of Stone Coll,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Steve Austin and the Rock Weekly TV ratings were massive.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It was edgy, unpredictable, and culturally very loud. Not so
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: much today. It's seen as being fragmented, but it's thriving.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: WCW is out and all elite wrestling is in, but
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it's still not pumping up the volume on the flat
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: screen TVs. I mean, everything is screaming that it should
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be the greatest of all times. WrestleMania is huge social
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: media eclips have been viewed by millions of people, but
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: superstars like Roman Reigns and Cody Roads they aren't picking
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: up global fame. Once again, it only seems like pro
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: wrestling is a top shelf product coming up next. How
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: are pro wrestlings fans still sticking in there. Hey, welcome
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: back to the Daily Mess. If pro wrestling's numbers are
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: not at their highest, peace, why does it feel more
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: popular today than ever? Well, because of social media. It
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: really is good at amplifying everything. Pro wrestling moments go
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: viral instantly. There are more promotions in cities everywhere, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: it means more content. Fans have more options instead of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a one document product. Number three, pro wrestling loves its
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: nostalgia cycle. A huge following from the nineteen nineties is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: back watching their own kids. Number four, pro wrestling is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a better business than what it once was. It is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: polished and more corporate today. Although Vince McMahon isn't around today,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he still gets credit for being a massive visionary who
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: pushed Edgy's storytelling. Plus, Vince McMahon developed the image of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: being a hardcore risk taker, the biggest stars, more competition,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and Vince McMahon's creative risk and engagement. All of that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, not today. I'm Errol and that's the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Daily Mess.
