I enjoyed the in-depth look at how WWE monetizes their product, and the conversation made me interested in better understanding the financial evolution of the business (especially when considering Cornette’s book titled: “Rags, Paper, and Pins”). I especially liked that there was minimal talk based on opinion and gossip (that I hear on lots of other podcasts) and more discussion focused on facts and results. Hope you do more stuff like this in the future!
