The Signature Spot highlights the past and present of professional wrestling.
At The Signature Spot, we strive to illuminate the rich history and dynamic present of professional wrestling. Our mission is to celebrate this captivating world by crafting distinctive content that transcends the realm of mere opinions and cynicism.
Drawing from my professional experience in broadcasting, business, and technology, I am a staunch advocate for quality and accuracy. This commitment to excellence is reflected in the meticulously researched and thoughtfully composed content found on our website and social media platforms.
The Early Days - A Podcast
In October 2018, The Signature Spot with Chris Toplack was launched as a weekly podcast on all major platforms. It existed as a digestible and professional show that placed an emphasis on quality. Every show was written, produced, voiced and promoted by yours truly and included the following:
Show Recaps
Highlights from the Week
Industry News & Rumours
Full Event Previews and Predictions
Topics of the Week
Interviews with Featured Guests
Listen to Past Episodes: YouTube / Apple Podcasts / Spotify / iHeartRadio / Google Podcasts / Stitcher.
With a child on the way and increased responsibilities at work, I decided to shut the podcast down, with the final episode released in October 2019.
A New Focus
In 2020, I placed more of an emphasis on growing the website while transitioning into publishing articles. In the summer of 2020, I brought on our Senior Contributor while I decided to spend my time curating the social media content and suggesting new article concepts.
The Signature Spot Articles feature a wide array of topics, both from the past and present, which includes the following:
Wrestler Spotlights
Revisited Rivalries
Definitive Timelines
What-If or Reimagined Scenarios
Reviews
Detailed Recaps
Live Experiences
Interviews
Growing Our Community
In response to the growing interest in our website, I dedicated my efforts in 2021 to expanding our remarkable Facebook community. My primary focus was on curating a diverse range of engaging and informative content daily, setting us apart from the multitude of wrestling pages that merely post images with basic captions or incessantly promote their articles. I aspired to offer our audience something more substantial, constantly challenging myself to deliver content worthy of their attention.
Astonishingly, our Facebook page experienced organic growth, amassing over 25,000 followers within just a few months and reaching more than 5 million users.
As of July 2024, we have nearly 85,000 followers and reach an average of 6 million users monthly.
A key aspect of my vision was establishing an inclusive and positive space where wrestling enthusiasts could respectfully discuss and reminisce about the sport's past and present, free from negativity and constant judgment.
The Signature Spot represents a professional yet approachable brand, centered around connecting with you on a personal level.
We take pride in providing you with a respite from your worries.
