Jack Wannan
Jack Wannan covers the fast-moving news cycle around professional wrestling and adjacent combat sports for POST Wrestling, tying match outcomes and event schedules to the business and media decisions that shape them. His work foregrounds clear, timely reporting on what fans can watch, where they can watch it, and how industry moves and controversies affect the wider entertainment landscape. Across wrestling, MMA, boxing, music, and other culture stories, he keeps the focus on concrete developments instead of opinion.
Guide to wrestling on streaming and TV
A recurring part of Wannan’s beat is a guide to notable professional wrestling events available on streaming and television each weekend, covering promotions such as WWE, AEW, NJPW, GCW, and others. In these pieces he organizes the coming slate of shows into a single, practical schedule, highlighting dates, platforms, and key events so readers can plan their viewing across multiple promotions. The emphasis is on breadth and utility: he treats the weekend as a shared calendar for the wrestling industry rather than focusing on one company, reflecting how programming is distributed across services and channels. This guide work distinguishes him from a reporter limited to one promotion’s storyline, positioning him instead as a desk journalist tracking how the wider scene is programmed and packaged.
Event reports and tournament coverage
Wannan regularly files event reports that document match results, title changes, and major in-ring moments across the wrestling landscape. His coverage of Forbidden Door, for instance, reports Jon Moxley retaining the AEW Continental Title against Bandido and captures the outcome in straightforward, news-style language. On Collision, he chronicles Tommaso Ciampa’s debut AEW match and TNT title win over Mark Briscoe, framing the bout around its championship stakes and the significance of earning gold in a first appearance.
Beyond single shows, he follows long-form tournaments such as New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Climax, where he has produced a report card mid-way through the tournament that names recommended matches and top performers rather than simply listing results. He also tracks announcements for events like NJPW’s New Beginning USA, detailing that the show will stream on NJPW World as a pay-per-view and noting the pricing.
Taken together, these pieces show a reporter who treats match coverage as part of a broader record of how tournaments unfold, which titles move, and how international events are delivered to audiences.
Industry news and business moves
A significant strand of Wannan’s work follows the business and institutional decisions behind wrestling and entertainment, from new products to legal developments.
He has broken down the launch of Club WWE for “Founding Members,” detailing the $99 annual fee and the structure of the membership offering. He covers corporate and legal maneuvering such as a judge placing a temporary pause on the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. merger, treating this as part of the media environment that ultimately affects how wrestling and other entertainment are distributed. His reporting reaches into publishing with coverage of a forthcoming book chronicling fifty of Jim Ross’s most “iconic calls,” flagging how commentary and its documentation contribute to wrestling’s legacy.
On the talent and training side, he has reported Rikishi’s announced leave from the KnokX Pro Academy, noting changes at the level of schools and development systems that feed into the business. News roundups credit him with covering stories like a short break for Andrade, NOAH’s N-1 Victory lineup, and recaps of the weekend’s top events, reinforcing his role as a regular news handler rather than a purely features writer.
His article on allegations levied against Tommy Dreamer by performers extends this industry lens into workplace conduct and reputational crises, showing a willingness to document sensitive issues when they affect the ecosystem around wrestling and its figures. Together these threads mark him out as someone who connects in-ring activity with courts, companies, products, and training systems that sit behind the shows.
Crossing into MMA and combat sports
While wrestling is the core of his output, Wannan’s beat also steps into MMA and other combat sports, treating them as part of the same entertainment circuit.
His coverage of Conor McGregor’s statement that his surgery “went excellent” is framed as a news update, noting the medical development for a major star whose career impacts both sports and entertainment audiences. His author bio and public profile describe him as reporting on MMA and boxing alongside wrestling, underscoring that he follows fighters and promotions beyond the squared circle. The same news-desk style appears when he addresses these areas: focus on specific developments, timelines, and implications for future fights or appearances rather than commentary on technique or personality.
References in his bio to music, local news, sports, world news, and “obscure obsessions” indicate a broader curiosity about culture and current events, but his published work keeps returning to the intersection of combat sports and media, where injuries, surgeries, new shows, and corporate decisions become stories for fans who follow these disciplines as part of their entertainment diet.
