    Solid pod. Conrad seems like a genuine dude who is about his business. Eric always gives informed opinions and acknowledges his bias. A great listen for those who want to dip into the true business of the business, while still having fun and talking about ‘rasslin. Do more ‘00s WWE talk!

  • HATE the new format

    I’ve been listening for 4 years and have LOVED the show, but I listen for nostalgia - Not top 5 lists and 2/3 of the show talking about current stuff

  • Love the show but…

    I love the show, but the newer style the show is doing is not one I enjoy. If I constantly wanted to watch top 5 lists, I’d just subscribe to what culture wrestling. Last podcast also had an ICE recruitment ad, which made me extremely angry. When ICE is doing what they are doing now, why are we recruiting on a podcast that celebrates lucha libre?

  • Audio

    Great show, Eric's audio is subpar most of the time. Professionals listen back to make sure the audio sounds good to the listener. Just constructive criticism that you might like to know.
