  • Smart, geeky fun

    I'm pretty much just listening to the reviews of classic WWF events—I even skip their general commentary in the middle of each episode—but it's great stuff (for a fan of classic WWF, of course). JT, Scott, and all of their guests are intelligent, thoughtful, and entertainingly analytical. You can say they take this stuff too seriously, but that's the point, and it works for me.

  • Renewed my love for wrestling

    When I moved in 2012, I was looking for shows to listen to. I found this show and I have been hooked ever since. These podcasts have had me go back and watch shows I had never seen before. They have a great community as well. Great podcast and even better people.
