The Education Secretary ran the W.W.E. for years with her husband, Vince, an unstable man who, like her new boss, has a genius for inflaming the crowd. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

John Cena announces attendance of 50,816 for the first night
Last figure from WrestleTix was 49,918
LVCVA confirmed that Night 1 in 2025 was 58,538
Amazing timing, they cut to this fan interaction with "The General" right as it happened
Organic and margin accretive moments
More than just a story about Andreas Hale, this sends a message to all aspiring reporters/writers to steer clear of critical coverage because it will harm your standing with access to WWE and therefore diminishes the value you bring to your outlet
Outlets need to back their reporters
We will go over final news and notes heading into night one of 'Mania, Andreas Hale being denied access, Stephanie McMahon's speech, and the latest attendance figures
Plus: Spring Break & Bloodsport reviews

Josh Barnett concluded Bloodsport by stating that he was ending the shows "for the foreseeable future" with a vague speech about preserving its pride and integrity
He thanked Brett Lauderdale and said he had his reasons for this decision
Vipress is at least among them
Jack Cartwheel injured himself on The Wrld on Lucha show today after executing a springboard corkscrew. He landed badly, grabbing his elbow, and the match with Galeno del Mal was immediately called off
🧵: Realistically, Nick Gage was on a bad path from the start of the pandemic lockdown. He lost The Compound. He tore his calf. There were far too many people around willing to disrupt his recovery. He lost his workout partner when Jordan Oliver tore his ACL. And then Sondra died. #DeathVegasInvi
By any historical metric, WrestleMania 42 is an unqualified success, but the company is using its own stories to tell you the opposite.
