GiantBomb.com Journalist Leaving To Work As WWE Podcast Producer, Xavier Woods Comments

UPDATE: Xavier Woods has commented on Dan Ryckert joining WWE as the producer for the New Day’s Feel the Power podcast.

He wrote: “Dan you now belong to us. Embrace the most stressful but fulfilling job you will ever have. Let us begin….”

Throughout my life, my two biggest passions have always been video games and wrestling. I was so fortunate to make a living working in one of those industries, and now it's time to try the other. Starting Monday, I'll be producing podcasts both in-house and on the road for WWE.

Original: Giantbomb.com writer and wrestling fan Dan Ryckert announced that he will leave the CBS Interactive website to become a producer for WWE’s podcasts. Specifically, he will produce the New Day’s “Feel the Power” podcast.

Kofi Kingston previously revealed the news in an interview with Newsweek. He said: “It’s a little bit of both. We had a producer, which was Emilio Sparks, but it’s now Dan Ryckert going forward. They’ll give us a sheet, almost like a guide, and we sometimes go off that and other times we don’t and just kinda go off on our own. That’s why it feels so natural because it’s just us talking. I think eventually down the line we’ll open it up and have people send us questions and topics they want to hear [us] discuss, and we’ll be more than happy to discuss it. But it’s like a skeleton and then we go from there.”
