Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #140: Why Can't Wrestling Media Get Janel Grant Coverage Right?

So it starts earlier this morning.

There's an excellent article on postwrestling.com.

It is titled, In Her Own Words, an exclusive interview with Janelle Grant.

It was written by Brandon Thurston.

It ran earlier this morning, Thursday, January or September 22nd.

And it is a long sit-down interview taken from excerpts from a long sit-down interview that Brandon did with Janelle Grant.

I believe that that interview is going to be uploaded as a special podcast version of the Pollock and Thurston show between WrestleNomics and Post Wrestling.

So people should definitely try to check that out.

If you have not read this article, pause my podcast, go on Post Wrestling, read it, turn the podcast back on.

Just do that.

You'll be better off for it.

So it's a wide-ranging article, an interview kind of talking about a lot of it is focused on Janelle Grant's life before, during, and after her interactions with Vince McMahon.

And it's full of all sorts of interesting stuff.

I can't wait to actually listen to the full interview that gets uploaded because it's really, really interesting and puts a lot of this into perspective, especially if you're somebody that is not familiar.

And I imagine a lot of people are not.

If you are not familiar with kind of a lot of these cases regarding sexual assault, grooming, victimization of these people, predators, it really helps put that into perspective because it's a really wide-ranging interview and it touches a lot on a lot about like Janelle Grant before she meets Vince McMahon and kind of the circumstances in her life.

Like she finishes law school, but she is an only child and her parents get sick and she finds herself being kind of having to be her parents' caretaker and spending a long time not really working, but helping out her parents in the best way that she can.

And then when her parents pass on this kind of sense of, well, now what do I do? I have this huge gap in my resume.

I have this law degree, but I've never really practiced it that much.

What happens to me? What do I do next? And all the kind of stuff that goes on with that and how that kind of contribute is what leads to a predator like Vince McMahon, you know, seeking out someone who's in a vulnerable position like that and exploiting them for their own gain, which if you've read anything about the lawsuit and you've read the affidavit and you read the complaints file and everything that we've been talking about for since 2022, you'll know what that means and what that entailed.

So it's a really good interview.

And like I said, everyone should listen to it.
