Welcome to the Young Lion's Perspective. Professional wrestling discussion through the eyes of a millennial with an old school mindset. Through commentary on a range of promotions including WWE, NXT and NXT UK, let's talk about professional wrestling the way it should be. Everyone has an opinion…
I personally won't be doing a flip, but we now know about the news of Mr. People Power himself, John Laurinitis, deciding to corroborate with former WWE employee, Janel Grant, and her legal team, thus flipping on Vince McMahon in the case against him. We discuss all of the particulars that we know at this very point and Mr. YLP Himself provides his thoughts on what he thinks this could mean moving forward. Also on Episode 429 of the YLP Podcast, Mr. YLP Himself discusses his thoughts on the major news from last week, of WWE deciding to move WrestleMania 42 from its original location of New Orleans, and bringing it back to Las Vegas. Mr. YLP breaks down the main reasons why they're making the move back to Sin City and why he believes it's a bad idea for WWE to have made the call. And as per usual, the WWE premium live event is so insane for this summer, that we forgot Money In The Bank was taking place next Saturday, so that means a preview and predictions for next week's PLE, and the game that's still sweeping the YLP Realm, Process of Elimination!EMAIL ME AT: younglionsperspective@gmail.comFOLLOW ME ON: Instagram - @ylp_podcast | X/TikTok - @YLPerspective
