4. Past meets Future

Most WWE Superstars were influenced by a professional wrestler of the past. You can watch Adam Cole, and see that he has been influenced by Shawn Michaels. Bayley has stated that she was influenced by The Hardy Boyz. This is a list that can go on forever.

There is presently enough talent in WWE where you could have a podcast in which a current member of the roster sits down with a wrestler that they grew up idolizing.

Alexa Bliss, who has gone on the record and stated that she was influenced by Trish Stratus, could sit down for a 90 minute conversation with Stratus and they can discuss everything from starting in pro wrestling, the road travels, being a WWE performer etc.

This is a great way to have the wrestlers of the past join forces with the current talent and have a conversation that fans would love to be a part of.

3. Tales from the Road: The Referees

Most people just see a referee on TV, and they do not understand how much more goes into a referee’s job. An example of this would be Charles Robinson, who has been on a part of the WWE Ring Crew since 2002.

Most fans don’t have an understanding of what has to happen for the ring to be set up. We see the ring on TV, and the concept of how each ring gets broken down, set up, and travel from state to state is a concept that has not been discussed on any WWE platform in the past.

Having referees sit down for a conversation every week to discuss the concept of taking down the ring and getting it to the next city could provide fans a glimpse into a world not yet discussed. There must be interesting stories from referees that could spawn from a fun free flowing conversation with talent that do not get much of an opportunity to showcase their personality.
