Hello, everybody. We are live. It is John Pollock and waiting with your post daily news show for Friday. March the 25th as we go into the weekend days away from the start of WrestleMania week.

0:20.0

We have lots to discuss today. We are going to be going through the news involving Paul LeVec with a clip with Stephen A Smith that has just run on ESPN ahead of a full interview.

0:30.0

That Paul LeVec is going to be doing later tonight and giving a health update and noting that he will not be wrestling again.

0:37.0

We'll also go through the dynamite numbers and take some of your super chats if you want to throw those in. But how are you doing today?

0:44.0

Doing pretty well, John. Yeah, you don't have to say it's been a pretty relatively slower news week. And that does not seem to be to be the case today.

0:54.0

Yes, we've got a very busy one and up first a very special guest joining us because with WrestleMania week, it is going to be his biggest week of the year.

1:03.0

He is the co-founder and COO of FightTV and they are going to be the hub for everybody that is following along all of the WrestleMania week related events.

1:13.0

Pleasure to be joined by Mike Weber who is here on the program. Mike, how are you doing? This is the calm before the storm next week.

1:20.0

Yes, he is. Guys, it's real pleasure to be a guest on your show. And of course, we're not calling it a WrestleMania week. We're calling it a fight best week.

1:30.0

Yes, fight. Yeah, on March 31st, April 1st and 2nd, we have over 100 hours of live programming exclusively on FightTV.

1:41.0

Can you just take us back to the first week of its kind here back in 2016, the last time that WrestleMania was staged in Dallas, Texas, how much it has grown on your end to what we're about to embark some six years later.

1:57.0

And the changes that you have observed and seen firsthand.

2:01.0

Yeah, I've actually been doing quite a bit of reminiscing about it. Hey, I just got off a staff call and we were talking about it because so we launched in February of 2016, literally starting at zero of a handful of shows.

2:13.0

We had done a couple test shows with the ring of honors and impact wrestling prior to that.

2:19.0

But we launched in February of 2016. And of course, WrestleMania was in Dallas. I believe is around the first of April of 2016. And so less than two months later.

2:29.0

And I literally stood on a street corner in front of the AT&T stadium, passing out fight coolies and postcards with Jim Ross's picture on who was our first year as our endorser of our product.

2:44.0

And here we are today really pretty much a big deal in the space here. Last summer, we're required by a company called Triller, who's getting ready to go public here in the next couple of weeks.

2:59.0

We now have over six million registered users since that time, saying on that street corner in Dallas, Texas, we have done about 6,000 live programs primarily in wrestling boxing MMA.

3:12.0

But now we are currently expanding the soccer and rugby and motor sports and other types of events.

3:19.0

And we're also introducing some interesting sports to the platform.

3:24.0

Just recently actually our parent company Triller acquired bare knuckle fighting, which we were with from the very beginning in 2018.

3:33.0

They acquired something just they announced earlier this week called pillow fighting.
