On the Beat with Mike Pankow of Windy City Slam

A couple weeks ago, I interviewed veteran journalist Mike Pankow of Windy City Slam. Mike is considered to be the Dean of Chicago area wrestling writers.

Mike started by giving his thoughts on the 2024 Chicago area wrestling scene, including best rookies, most improved and best overall. Mike looked ahead to this year for his picks to watch. He also picked a few potential winners and surprises for WWE men's and women's Royal Rumbles, as well as the current state of AEW. Lastly, Mike put on his promoter's cap to analyze a startup balancing using veteran Chicago talent versus bringing in outsiders.

It's always great to get Mike's opinions. The man knows his stuff, as evidenced by his site. WCS has outstanding coverage of the local wrestling companies, along with the big news from the national companies. His catalog of interviews is reason enough to check his site, but there is a lot more.
