If wrestling companies were willing to just lose money every single year, they'd sponsor wrestling sites with no questions asked. Wrestling people want everything for free, so there's actually no value in the product if you're not paying for it.
Do you expect people just to generate content for free and not get paid for it? Do you expect people to take the time to produce content and live stream it for free, with no one to pay for the overhead, bandwidth and personnel to run the stream?
Without these sites, my own included, you wouldn't be getting any content and you'd be back waiting for your AWN to arrive with 2-week old results. There's a ton of free resources that direct you to content. If you don't want to pay for it, then too bad, you don't get to watch it. You pay for the internet to get online. You pay for cable. You pay for every single thing in this world, except air. So why do you expect wrestling to be different? We're all just charity cases? Hardly.
How about instead of complaining about problems, you offer actual solutions? How do you propose a site like this, which has been around since 1995, do a better job at finding revenue from sponsors? How do you propose a sport, that saw many of its market opportunities die during the pandemic, create a model that pays its writers and content creators a fair wage and provides a service to the sport and have someone else pay for it? It's the same people already sponsoring to begin with.
What do you propose? We've seen people of your ilk complain like this for decades and offer no viable solution. Be part of the solution, if you aren't, you're part of the problem.
