Great podcast! In depth and informative. But sounds like it’s recorded inside of an empty grain silo.

This is a decent wrestling podcast. But I can’t stop cringing at the fact this guy thinks everything he says is so profound. It’s cool to have an opinion that you are passionate about. But come on guy. We as an audience are not waiting with bated breath for your takes. You act like you’re gifting us with your wisdom.
