4.7 out of 5 stars from 8.1k ratings
  • Just can’t support him anymore

    After DVons comments about JR coupled with all the other backstage gossip and innuendo which only proves to me is true when you piece it all together with the stories JR has said himself, I no longer respect or care to remember him. The show itself can be good but too many ads ruin it as well as Jim’s way of twisting reality at times to make some point we all know is false. You got go away heat Jim now go away and focus on your health you workaholic.

  • Its ok

    Jim talking is great. Conrad however is awful, as He cant watch anything objectively and says that everything is good/ great. Even with aew’s low viewership he still promotes it. The guy will dance for any about of dollars showing how spineless he really is, but he does hang out with Bischoff so it makes sense. So ad ridden and they hardly discuss anything. Listen to Jim Cornette if you want a real unpaid and unbiased view.
