| I don't "solicit" wrestling news. People from other sites are known to call or e-mail wrestlers specifically snooping around for information. But the people I know in the business, I know because I've booked them for shows, met them at other shows, or they contacted me through a recommendation from another worker with respect to bookings. They don't view me as a wrestling writer, they view me as a promoter, and/or as somebody they happen to know through wrestling. And so contacting them looking for news isn't something I'm willing to do. I know a few workers in WWE, and several in NWA TNA, but when I hear newsworthy items, it's because they choose to tell me. And when/if they're okay with me mentioning the item on the site, I do. But oftentimes they'd rather I don't for fear of them being scoped out. After all, it would only take a little digging for somebody to figure out who's leaking news to a Canadian writer. |
