  • Love this podcast

    Brian - your podcast is fantastic. Love your books.

    Disappointed to hear that The Sheik’s nephew that just passed wanted paid for him to speak with you as you researched your book that was about his uncle.

    Thanks for all of your efforts.

  • Some good episodes however the host who tells us every episode he worked for the WWE (yes we are aware) is a VInce apologist. Considering the amount of ex WWE staff he has on they have barely touched the surface and prefer remembering the good old days. Wouldn't be amazed if still getting a paycheck or pension from the WWE
