Because great wrestling content takes real time and effort.
Running The Daily Smark has given me a real appreciation for how much work goes into creating wrestling content. Most of the shows, channels, and podcasts I enjoy are made by passionate fans who do this entirely unpaid, outside of their day-to-day lives. It takes real dedication to keep that up week after week, and I think it deserves to be recognised.
That's why I use Patreon to directly support a handful of wrestling creators whose work I genuinely love. If you enjoy any of these shows too, please consider supporting them and others you enjoy because every bit helps.
World of Joshi is an amazing Patreon full of a variety of podcasts such as The Stardom Cast, The Marigold Standard, Talk Joshi and so many more. It's really a treasure trove of wrestling content.
Wrestling Bios is a YouTube channel dedicated to videos covering the careers and stories of wrestlers from every era. The research and production quality that goes into each video is remarkable.
Wrestle Me! is a podcast where two comedy writers watch and review wrestling they've never seen before. The amount of content they produce is genuinely impressive.

The A Show Network is an amazing group of creators who discuss, review and analyze the world of pro wrestling through weekly podcasts on The A Show, The War Report, and so much more.
