What's a good source of wrestling news that respects the readers intelligence and time?

The amount of clickbait and non news is horrific and feels like it has gotten worse recently.

A good example is the recent Punk ESPN interview. We had a bunch of stories reporting that people are unhappy about it or it was a shoot before it even came out but it was clearly all above board.

When it did come out, websites like cultaholic split it up into about 5 different stories when all you had to do was read the one interview.

Wrestling news for the most part feels like YouTube reaction videos. One piece of news that then gets spun off into 100 opinion pieces and hearsay until the original story gets lost. That's if the original piece of news was even legit because there are hardly ever any tangible sources.

Or do you not read any 'news' and just enjoy the shows? I do wonder if enjoying wrestling and reading about wrestling are two entirely different hobbies sometimes.

I would avoid news sites if at all possible. If you absolutley need to know, find any article Mike Johnson has posted. He's usually right and unbiased. Stay away from Scherer, Meltzer, etc.
