  • Wade Keller is pro wrestling's Torch

    The Mt. Rushmore of professional wrestling is Vince McMahon, Steve Austin, Wade Keller, Bobby Heenan.

    If pro wrestling was the Matrix, Wade would be Neo. He is the one. The most important man in professional wrestling. He has built the Torch website into the biggest and most comprehensive historical archive of pro wrestling journalistic commentary in existence.

    In my view in the year 2025 he has evolved into the most valuable voice and perspective in the world of professional wrestling.

  • Too many interruptions

    The content of these podcasts is 5 stars. However I’ve had to mark it down because of the constant interruptions by adverts. Just listened to the latest Acknowledging WWE and there was an ad break every 10 minutes. I understand it’s ad supported to help with revenue, most of my other podcasts are, but they only contain 2 maximum per episode. This has too many and breaks the flow too much and makes it less enjoyable to listen to.
