Update on Wrestlinginc 'Journalists' Who Were Caught Stealing Stories From PWInsider Elite (A Paywall Paid Subscription site)

 



Wrestlinginc and the parent company that owns Wrestlinginc, Static Media were informed about the two stories we recently did where we showed how two of their 'journalists' were caught red handed, blatantly stealing stories from PWInsider's Elite paid membership site. ( https://wrestlingpastandpresent.blogspot.com/2025/09/another-wrestlinginc-journalist.html and this one here too https://wrestlingpastandpresent.blogspot.com/2025/09/wrestlinginc-journalist-has-been-caught.html ). 

Several people who are PWInsider Elite subscribers as well as we here at Wrestling Past And Present have contacted Wrestlinginc and Static Media several times concerning these two stories, requesting some sort of comment or explanation as to how or why they allowed these two (among others) 'writers' on their staff to steal stories from paid sites elsewhere to use over there at Wrestlinginc. We have gotten no response from either Wrestlinginc, OR the company that owns them, Static Media. 

You want to know WHY, they won't respond or comment? Well... We're about to show you. 

They won't address the fact that they've posted on their own site, stories stolen from a paywall site that people have to pay to be a subscriber to, we'll refresh your memory now as to proving that PWInsider Elite is indeed a paid subscriber site. 

Screen grabs from Julien's story as well as Daisy Ruth's story with the link to "PWinsider Elite".



When you click those links it takes you, here.


You have to have a log in name and password to get to this site, HOW do you get that log in and password? Click "Become an Elite Member" and this is how it's done.


See those membership rates? That's right you have to pay, to get access to the content on that site. So Julien and Daisy pay to see what's there, then they violate the terms of service which openly says that content there is not allowed to be posted on other websites.

That means YYOOUU Wrestlinginc. 


Now why is it that Wrestlinginc and Static Media refuse to comment on these stories? Here's why, right here.





It's because Wrestlinginc and Static Media, KNOWING their writers were caught stealing stories, continue to employ and pay them, no matter WHERE they happen to get their stories from.


What kind of company would continue to have writers who have been exposed and outted as writers who can't get their own articles, who blatantly steal and then admit in the article where they stole the stories from, on their staff? Wrestlinginc is supposed to be 'considered' one of the more 'reliable' wrestling news sites, but when their staff have to 'rely' on stories they stole from paywall sites, how credible does it make Wrestlinginc look? 

This clearly sends a message that they openly condone their staff invading other paid subscription sites and raid content from there so they can have it on their own site. Forget credibility, fuck even trying, to look just a little bit 'professional', NNNAA, just steal it and they'll post it seems to be the business model at Wrestlinginc and Static Media.

We here at WP&P also know that as of this weekend, there were at least four different complaints lodged to the Better Business Bureau concerning the fact that this is Wrestlinginc's business practice now. Three of those complaints came from current subscribers to, PWInsider Elite. We gave full permission to use the stories we've covered here as proof that this has been a long standing pattern and when confronted, Wrestlinginc just chooses to look away, while publishing yet another article from one of the columnists who were caught stealing the stories they post. 

Depending on what an attorney  we use on a regular basis advises, we may just post screen shots of the actual complaints that were lodged at the Better Business Bureau. 

Wrestlinginc and Static Media may be able to ignore requests for comment from us and others who have an issue with their writers stealing from a site they pay to be a part of, but I highly doubt they'll be able to dodge explaining to The Better Business bureau.

How can a once considered real credible and respected site like Wrestlinginc consider themserlves respected and credible if they continue to allow writers who swipe stuff from other places without permission to be on their staff? Why don't you contact them yourself and see they, will give YOU, and answer. Info@static.com, staff@Wrestlinginc.com and Newstips@Wrestlinginc. com are their email  addys. (908) 514-8038‬ is the number for Wrestlinginc.. 

Let us know if they give you an answer that they were too chickenshit and scared, to give us and others.

They just posted another article by Daisy forty five minutes ago so this is straight up bullshit on the part of Wrestlinginginc. They don't give two shits if they're professional or credible, they just want clicks and articles no matter who steals the content from where. You tried to bring a legitimate issue here but whoever runs Wrestlinginc is just a piece of shit who's too chicken shit to deal with the factual issue. Obviously whatever good reputation they once had they lost when Raj Giri sold it to Static Media.

Well you and everyone else now sees what Wrestlinginc is truly all about. We can talk abut this til we run out of breath, but their actions say it all. They don't care if you steal another person's article and put your name on it. It's now that painfully obvious, and the fact they know what some of their stuff does with stealing articles? Shows they have no balls to seriously address the situation, or, they just don't want to and are okay with stealing articles so they can have it on their site. All it shows is that their 'journalists' just don't have what it takes to get their own stuff.

Daisy Ruth is now using "The Wrestling Observer Newsletter" as her 'source' for her scoops. Also, her tweets on Twitter/X are now "protected", so you can't openly see them. What does she suddenly have to hide I wonder.

Hide the fact she was caught stealing from a paywall site again? Hide the fact that the Better Business Bureau has accepted the complaints lodged against Wrestlinginc and Static media (who owns Wrestlinginc) and will be going forward looking into the complaints? The very complaints that come from the fact she was caught stealing content from that paywall site over and over and Wrestlinginc, knowing this, posted that stolen content anyway?

Plenty to hide behind, so obvious a blind man can see it.
