Off The Top Rope: Life after wrestling

Chris Graham

This week’s Off the Top Rope puts the focus outside the ropes. Dawn Marie’s Wrestlers Rescue organization has come under scrutiny for its efforts to raise money for professional wrestlers facing financial issues. Hosts Chris Graham and Christopher Saint discuss that news and the bigger issue of workplace and life protections for professional wrestlers.

Should wrestlers look to unionize or otherwise organize themselves collectively to work toward their mutual long-term benefit? Maybe, maybe not.
