4.5 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Absolutely terrible audio

    Let me start by saying I love PWI. Read it in my childhood and still pick up the occasional issue today.

Q: Cameron, what are your thoughts on where Ron Killings stands in his career now?
Cameron elaborated that R-Truth has unique goodwill with the fans due to his longevity and the support he's cultivated, which puts him in a unique position.
Ep. 256: Truth & Consequences (w/ Cameron Hawkins)
Q: What do you think about how WWE handled R-Truth's situation?
Brian suggests WWE's handling was interesting and might lead to unforeseen consequences due to the recent fan uprising supporting R-Truth.
PWINDIE: Landon Hale's Breakout Year
Q: Can you share an emotional moment you had with Paul London?
