From my perspective writing about pro wrestling with a nostalgia focus, the motivations of my older fans are to re-experience the landmark moments from ‘80s and ‘90s pro wrestlers and learn more about the wrestlers themselves from that era. This would include both their on-screen persona and the individual behind the character. For newer fans, the motivation is to learn about wrestling’s past.

Love this. Sometimes comparison creeps in and it's not needed. Your curation here is the expertise people want, your take, your opinions with it all. It's like online yoga - there are millions of people doing it and millions of people offering it for free, low price, high price. My advise - cull all of those who are in your niche out of your peripheral vision and just CREATE for you. You can collaborate with them further down the line if you want to. Getting to know your fans and growing that base is going to be a work of joy - you don't want to be worrying about how other's are doing it. Great things are coming for you!
