Wrestling promoter's empassioned speech to YouTube regarding their classification of professional wrestling as "not advertiser friendly".

Here's a quick rundown to the situation:

WCPW is a wrestling promotion that was started, by the already existing Whatculture WWE youtube channel. The channel had big subsriber numbers for wrestling related content (Top 10 list, live reactions, opinion pieces, etc). They are backed by the Newcastle based company Whatculture.

Last year starting in June they decide to start a wrestling promotion which would primarily air on Youtube. Sometime this year, Wrestling also got put in that non-advertiser friendly category. They showed that a video that had about 1 million views, a video that made 43$ with youtube ads, was only 98% of what they would normally make from a video like this, before the change.

So they had a run of 10 shows planned to run live on youtube starting from June 2nd, but after this change they had to cancel those shows. They turned the first date of those shows into the show titled "Fight Back" (The video is from the start of that show) in protest and to show awareness.

After they were done streaming, they received this from Youtube
