Isenberg Reacts : The Five Gifts From WWE in 2016

January 3, 2017

Number 3: Women’s Wrestling

Talk about changing the game. Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Becky Lynch and others have changed how the world views women in a professional wrestling ring. With history being made time and time again, there are more instances of me watching intently on these talented women over many of the talented men. They needed to be taken seriously, but they needed the right women. They got the right balance from NXT and the main roster, giving us new faces and new feuds.

I have been bashed when comparing Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks as a modern day Rock vs. Austin. What I simply meant by that is both pairs of talent are by far the best in the business and they proved it time and time again. Both worked so great together in the ring and were able to develop full and interesting storylines. The women changed the game and put so much pressure on many of the guys to perform at a high level. 2017 is going to be even better, with Bayley getting her shot while Charlotte continues her dominance.

These women are sexy without WWE degrading them to make them look sexy. They are strong and talented individuals who constantly put on excellent matches. I thank 2016 for making me forget about the Ashley Massaro and Candice Michelle matches. It reminded me of Trish and Lita, but so much better.

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.
