Podcast: The Business of Wrestling
My guest for this episode is Brutal Bob Evans
In this episode of Belts, Bumps, and Barbed Wire, I interview veteran wrestler and mentor Bob Evans, who reflects on his career, his inspiration from the 1980s, and his experiences training wrestlers like Mike Bennett and Vincent. Bob discusses the importance of fan interaction and creating memorable live experiences, along with the need to balance online marketing with offline community outreach in wrestling promotions. He emphasizes the value of keeping storylines simple to engage both casual and loyal fans and suggests that promoters learn from successful organizations like minor league baseball teams. Bob also highlights the significance of offline promotion and wraps up by promoting his upcoming Ring Psychology 101 class, focusing on storytelling in wrestling.
