4. WWE Network

It may be a financial flop for WWE, but I love it. I love paying 9.99 a month for unlimited access to all WWE Pay-Per-Views. The times where the live stream stalled sucked, but Monday Night Wars and NXT specials certainly eased the blow. I can only see the content getting more in-depth over the next 12 months. More backstage content and more of the “pulling back of the curtain.” Stone Cold’s podcast= money. Monday Night Wars= money. WWE Countdown=fun. All in all, I saved 600 dollars from NOT ordering PPV’s alone. Yes, I am thankful for that gift that keeps on giving.

Who doesn’t love seeing the NXT shows? They have all been fantastic and will grow more to push the main roster from giving their all on “Sunday Night Raw” events. The gift of Finn Balor, Charlotte, Ascension, Hideo Itami, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Big Cass, Enzo Amore and many more make us realize that the future could be bright and could be here sooner than we think.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
