When you think of wrestling power players, names like Tony Khan or Triple H come to mind. But behind the scenes, one man is quietly shaping the industry more than anyone else — Rocky Romero. From opening the Forbidden Door to forging relationships between AEW, NJPW, CMLL, and countless promotions worldwide, Romero's influence stretches across continents. In this episode, I break down how this in-ring veteran turned backstage mastermind is redefining professional wrestling's future.
It seems as if an old trick out of the Vince McMahon playbook has reared its ugly head once again, but this time, in the form of Karrion Kross organically getting over with the fans. On Episode 438 of the YLP Podcast, Mr. YLP breaks down the very moment he believes, was the beginning of the end of Kross's second run in WWE. He discusses why Paul "Triple H" Levesque may have either allowed or made the foolish decision not to do right by the fans, and who he thinks could be the next man or woman beginning their descent on the card. Also on this week's episode of the pod, Mr. YLP brings back his "News Of The Week" segment, including news on Melina saying that she would like to see WWE Evolution become an annual event, WWE allegedly trying to put AEW out of business by the end of their current contract with Warner Bros. Discovery, and much, much more!FOLLOW ME ON: Instagram - @ylp_podcast | X/Twitter - @YLPerspectiveEMAIL ME AT: younglionsperspective@gmail.comBUY YOUR YLP & WAR MERCH HERE: wrestle-addict-radio-shop.fourthwall.com

Why Lyra Valki's Gimmick Needs an Overhaul - A Call for ChangeNotorious D delivers a passionate critique of Lyra Valki's current WWE persona, focusing on the flaws of her 'bird' gimmick and how it interferes with her wrestling potential. He argues that WWE and Triple H need to bury this outdated gimmick and rebrand Valki into a more relatable and tenacious fighter. D offers three practical changes: fully abandoning the bird theme, accentuating her relatable qualities, and injecting a mean streak into her character. He points out the inconsistency in her current portrayal and insists that a new direction is crucial for her success on WWE's main roster.
