Experience
Ross W Berman IV stumbled into wrestling journalism by accident. A Folksinger, performer, and writer, Berman began covering New Japan Pro-Wrestling due to his already nocturnal schedule, which spun off into covering numerous events, including the launch of AEW in Jacksonville, FL, and the CM Punk/Colt Cabana trial in Chicago, IL, for various sites and even a gig co-hosting NEVER Openweight Champion Tama Tonga's podcast "Tama's Island."
