Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
MVP’s podcast is just the latest in a long line of wrestling-related content creators trying to make a name for themselves in the ever-changing social media landscape.
BZZR is promising to unite sports fans and cut out the noise, but we’ve seen that before.
MVP’s speakeasy aesthetic is a nice touch, but it’s not like it’s a new concept.
It’s not surprising that MVP is excited about the opportunity to grow his audience, but we’ll see if BZZR can deliver on its promises.
“It’s a different platform in that it lets content creators … it puts them out there in a way that they can be authentic and you don’t have the same corporate overlords dictating who says what and how they can say it.”
