American Newspapers that cover wrestling?

[Sidebottom]

Here in the UK a couple of the mainstream papers cover wrestling once a week, generally in a weekly run down manner. They may even speak to a British wrestler or two if a big event is coming up. I was wondering whether in the US / Canada whether nay of the papers do something similar?

My local paper The Charleston Post and Courier has had a weekly column by Mike Mooneyham for decades. This past year they moved him from his LONG time spot on Sundays to Mondays, but he's still there and has been forever. I know Alex Marvez used to write one for a Miami paper, but god knows if that's still the case

In Baltimore, we've had a dedicated wrestling blogger on our web site for years. The first guy, Kevin Eck, left to work for WWE. But we actually brought on replacements, because the blog gets a bunch of hits.

 

That said, none of the bosses understand or care about wrestling. They just see it as a cheap, easy way to generate web traffic.

Ever thought about doing it yourself Childs?

Kevin talked to me about taking over his blog when he left, but powers that be wanted me to focus on other stuff. I didn't make a big push for it, because honestly, I like keeping wrestling as a hobby. I've found that writing about other sports changes my relationship to them and not always in ways I like.
