Soft Times, Softer Workers, and the AI Takeover

Season 2 – Episode 19
“Soft Times, Softer Workers, and the AI Takeover”

"These ain't Hard Times Baby, This be Soft Times." The American Dream would be rolling over in his grave right now.

Wrestling was built by generations who were told to toughen up, listen more than they spoke, and learn the hard way. Levi Blue breaks down the growing generational divide in society and the wrestling business—where older generations were raised on accountability, criticism, and paying dues, while newer generations are often shielded from discomfort. As society grows softer, honest feedback gets mistaken for disrespect, and traditional wrestling lessons meant to create growth now lead to hurt feelings, online outrage, and stalled development instead of stronger performers.

Then he tackles the growing controversy of AI technology—how it’s already creeping into wrestling, media, art, and creativity. Is AI a tool, a shortcut, or the death of authenticity? Levi doesn’t sugarcoat it, questioning whether technology is helping storytellers or replacing the grind that used to separate the workers from the wannabes.

No apologies. No hand-holding. Just hard truths from a 2-cent wrestler in a million-dollar world.

30 minutes of your life you’re never getting back.
Sorry Pal… Not so Sorry.
