Mark from Rev Wrestling pointed out an interesting trend to me-wrestling has more coverage from the media than it has in the past. Well, it seems so. I have no empirical data to support this claim, but there have been many great profiles of wrestlers in large publications, including:
- T.C. Dantzler in the Sun-Times
- Jake Deitchler in USA Today
- Henry Cejudo in the Arizona Republic
- A visit by Cejudo and Deitchler to the offices of ESPN the Magazine
- Steve Mocco in USA Today
- Dremiel Byers in the Charlotte Observer
- Ali Bernard in the Pioneer Press
- Randi Miller in the Kansas City Star
- Best of all, you can download Doug Schwab wallpapers at the Des Moines Register.
I can’t explain the uptick in coverage, but I am not going to question it. Increased coverage for the sport can only be good for it.
