On the latest episode of the GWP, host Jesse Collings talks about a wide range of topics, including why mainstream media's attempts to cover pro wrestling seemingly always fail, the geriatric…
And that is regarding WWE doing a partnership with Sirius Radio to basically take over Sirius' 24-hour wrestling radio station.
Essentially, my impression is that they kind of gave Busted Open, which is by far the most well-known program on the station, basically its own 24-hour station where they would add in some other stuff.
Now, of course, given shows like Busted Open and Cheap Heat, it was extremely WWE-leaning.
It was probably like 90% WWE and then like 10% AEW, or maybe like a little TNA if they felt like they wanted to talk about TNA.
But the new story is basically that WWE now has this agreement and they're moving some of their podcasts, things like Stephanie McMahon's crappy podcast or Sam Roberts' crappy podcast or The Undertaker's crappy podcast over to that station.
So what does that really mean? I think it honestly like the interesting aspect to it.
is basically like, okay, WWE is now partnering directly with another media source, in this case, Sirius Radio, to control an aspect of wrestling media.
We've seen WWE do this before, right? They have the agreement with The Ringer, which might have expired because I think some of those shows, like the Sam Roberts podcast maybe, maybe not the Sam Roberts one, but some of those shows were part of The Ringer podcasting network as like WWE-affiliated shows.
I know they don't cover wrestling all that much outside of the Masked Man show these days.

Well, now you're going to be partnering with WWE, and you're just going to be covering us.
