Welcome to Episode 2 of the Elite Force Podcast return premiere! Today, we are pulling out the calculator and doing the hard math on the soaring cost of being a modern pro wrestling fan.

Wrestling has never been more popular, and corporate parent TKO has never made more money. But between a fragmented maze of four separate streaming subscriptions to watch weekly shows from your couch, and skyrocketing live ticket prices that have drawn literal Wall Street scrutiny from JPMorgan analysts over 'fan dissatisfaction,' everyday families are being permanently priced out of the arena.

In this episode, we break down:

• The multi-app streaming tax (Netflix, USA Network, Peacock, and the new ESPN Unlimited price hike).

• The live event ticket bubble and the luxury-market pricing strategies under TKO.

• The broader entertainment warning (how this affects concerts and movies).

• The AEW counter-punch—how All Elite Wrestling is positioning itself as the fan-friendly alternative.
