But what if you’re strapped for cash? Then you could use YouTube to watch independent professional wrestling as well. Now, this does not mean that you consume pirated content from organizations in an attempt to circumvent their pay walls. Instead, there are organizations such as Defiant Wrestling and MLW that produce high quality content and broadcast it through their YouTube channel. Peruse this popular social media platform for various companies that are continuing to bring content to fans without any additional cost beyond an Internet connection.

However, you have to be careful when using YouTube that you aren’t viewing content that has been stolen from an organization. These streaming platforms are vital to the growth of professional wrestling because they create a stream of revenue for these promotions.

With this revenue they can continue to offer shows; establishing themselves as another place where wrestlers earn a living. As a free platform, some users can abuse YouTube and upload content that they don’t actually own. As YouTube works through this issue, it’s important for professional wrestling fans to use the platform correctly, without participating in actions that take funds out of their favorite stars pockets.
