  • I absolutely love this podcast. James, Sky, and Eric have amazing chemistry. I am going to add a request in here hoping someone sees it: the overall volume of the podcast seems low. I have to raise the volume significantly to be able to clearly hear everyone compared to almost every other podcast I listen to. I'm not a sound engineer, so I don't know what's a feature or a bug, but I thought I'd shoot my shot. Either way, love the dynamics, the topics, and the individuals who make this show great... more

  • Scorpio Sky is so ducking cool

    I have been listening for a few weeks now and decided to go back and listen from episode one. I had no idea SS is black. I’m not really a wrestling fan but this show makes me want to be.

    Edit: updating my review as a strictly audio listener to ask for more stalone impressions.

    It’s great to hear the guys back in action, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store! Whether it be about wrestling, the triumph of overcoming unexpected life events, or Steve Urkel I’m sure it will be fascinating to hear!

  • A genuine wrestling podcast

    A great podcast about wrestling and life that feels open, honest and genuine that doesn't feel overly bitter or saccharine about the business.

    Wish I knew how the producer felt about injectables though.
