  • On WWE payroll

    I use to love this podcast but once they got on the WWE payroll the show lost its essence. Bully Ray used to be fair but as soon as he got the legends deal he said forget AEW.

    Denise and Matt are enjoyable and work well together. Would like to hear them together more. When Mark is on, he tends to go off topic often and then talk about unrelated items about himself.

    She is one of the best of all time. She is an awful promo still. Nobody even cares after rumble entrance. Shes so scripted. Mark henry ever explain his awful comments on the JBL show?
