It was during my student exchange a couple of summers ago that I had an epiphany I must come back and write about this newfound phenomenon of music festivals.

WWE announced on Monday morning that the former ESPN and Fox Sports executive was stepping into the ring as the company’s executive vice president for development and digital. According to Deadline, he’s taking the position effective immediately.
