## Resource

Before we get into the news, the WrestlingTracks family wants to take a moment to express our deepest condolences on the passing of Marc Izard. The pro wrestling community is a tight-knit one, fueled by the passion of those who show up week after week. Marc was a beloved super fan whose presence and enthusiasm were staples of our community. He reminded us all why we love this business in the first place. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the countless fans who shared a row or a conversation with him at ringside. Rest in Power, Marc. In this episode, we can’t help but to notice that The "Spring Cleaning" era has returned, but under TKO Group Holdings, the rules have changed. Tonight, we analyze the shift from "budget cuts" to boardroom efficiency and why Cody Rhodes’ recent warning to stay out of the wrestling business is more relevant than ever. We’ll talk about those released, how to get involved in the next TKO Group Holdings and much more Lee is a bit distracted tonight, so we’re taking things at a slower pace—thanks for riding with us as we process a heavy week in the industry.
