THE SPORTS BYLINE PODCAST

The Sports Byline podcast is back from a long break. For now, you can get some of our most requested shows, Wrestling Observer Live, Through the Ropes, and World Series of Poker. Stay tuned as we'll add shows to the schedule.

Wrestling Observer Live

You can join Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez every Sunday night with The Wrestling Observer Live from 8p.m. to 10p.m. ET and 5-7 p.m. PT on the Sports Byline Network. The show, which was the most listened to internet-generated talk show from late 1999 through 2001, moved to radio in March of 2002 and is the place where the most serious wrestling fans in the world talk about the unique sports entertainment form and its incredible popularity. Meltzer is considered the pioneer of pro wrestling journalism.

A lifelong fan, Meltzer began writing about wrestling at the age of ten in various newsletters and fan club publications. While attending San Jose State University and reporting for the Oakland Tribune, Meltzer started the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in 1982. It was the first publication that covered pro wrestling that made no excuses about the industry being entertainment as opposed to sport, including coining the term "athletic entertainment" to describe pro wrestling, a term later changed to "sports entertainment" by Vince McMahon.

The Observer remains the publication of record within the pro wrestling industry, read by nearly every serious fan and student of the game around the world.
