| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. It is John Pollock and Brandon Thurston for another edition of Pollock and Thurston |
| 0:06.0 | interview. And we've got Brandon. It's our version of the Big Get today. Yes, we have a very big |
| 0:12.1 | yet. We have some people say that Rick Steamboat and Randy Savage stole the show at WrestleMania 3, |
| 0:17.6 | but it doesn't compare to CRBC stealing the show and Alex Sherman stealing the show in 2023. |
| 0:24.0 | That is it. The big story broken on Sunday by our guest today, CMBC Media reporter Alex |
| 0:29.8 | Sherman, who has been so kind to take time out of his vacation, no less this week, to chat with |
| 0:35.2 | us about this seismic deal for Endeavor, WWE and the UFC. So Alex, first of all, just tell us |
| 0:42.0 | where are you vacationing and you have chosen quite the week for a vacation. |
| 0:46.0 | Yeah, I'm in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. You can even move my screen. You can see the ocean |

| 1:16.9 | Miami Open, which I learned over the course of the last 48 hours is actually owned by Endeavor. |
| 1:24.8 | So that was the irony there. So now the now Endeavor owns both the WWE and the Miami Open. |
| 1:31.5 | Look at that Endeavor, just a voracious appetite for all things sports and entertainment related. |
| 1:37.8 | Let's dial this back maybe a couple of weeks ago and if we were to be talking to you early March, |
| 1:44.1 | what was sort of your lay of the land of the front runners when it came to the sale talks of WWE |
| 1:50.5 | and where Endeavor was and what once they got closer to the goal line in the ensuing weeks? |
| 1:56.6 | I always thought Endeavor was one of the front runners that was you know mostly based on what |
| 2:00.8 | it was told really but logic also I mean you figured that Endeavor had had quite a bit of success |
| 2:08.4 | owning UFC. This is a property that it bought for four billion dollars or so. Now in this deal |
