I heard about Center Stage Chronicles on Phil Schneider’s podcast. And it’s awesome. Takes me right back to those days. The pop culture news is awesome. Songs/albums/movies that I haven’t thought about it yours. Rob Naylor is my long lost little brother!!

United States10 months ago - 5 star premise single star execution
This show could be a real benefit to wrestling fans. The idea of dissecting roughly one week in wrestling history, but through the reporting of dirt sheet writers is fantastic. Unfortunately, these two are not the guys who should be doing this. The host talks far too quickly, and unfortunately he audibly yawns throughout the episodes. His sidekick, a guy named “Bix” is an amalgamation of every stereotype for wrestling fans that you’ve ever heard. A nerd that probably lives in his dad’s basement,... more
Apple Podcasts2BixisawfulUnited Statesa year ago - Politics, bias opinions, and self loathing at its worst.
Why Zellner continues to let hateful Bixenspan even have a voice on this show is one of the biggest mysteries of time. Kris gets more annoyed by the week and clearly has zero chemistry and zero ability to reign in the constant garbage his co host keeps spewing out. Zellner is not much better. He loves to state how He’s not into politics, and then makes all kind of statements that are politically based. how does reading off decades old wrestling news written by other people make it so you can sh... more
Apple Podcasts1WateriswetyesUnited Statesa year ago - Good and bad
I love that the show covers wrestling that nobody else covers. I don’t like that whenever the host is reading from the observer, he gets in a huge hurry and mumbles where I can’t tell what he’s saying half the time.
