4.8 out of 5 stars from 16.2k ratings
  • 2016-2020 Were GREAT!

    Before the endless adds and the “WWE approval” filter was added upon Bruce’s return to the company, this was a must listen podcast. It was two guys just shooting the stuff and genuinely enjoying their conversation about the weird and wild world of professional wrestling. Now it’s just 5 minutes of filler between 3 minutes of ads. I strongly recommend listening to the early episodes with the 30 second skip ready to go!

  • So entertaining

    This podcast is five stars for so many reasons. Bruce is one of the most entertaining people you will ever listen to. On top of that, his memory of so many years of working at the WWF is incredible. You will find yourself going back and re-listening to old episodes.

  • Bring back JBL!

    I was an obsessed wrestling fan from the late 90s to around 2010, so I absolutely love the behind the scenes stories from that period and earlier. I absolutely love the eps with JBL. He’s got great stories, he’s funny, and just seems like an all around likable guy.

    Not being too educated in the behind the scenes stuff, I wasn’t very familiar with Bruce Prichard until I watched unreal and started listening to this pod. Yikes, he feels like the opposite of JBL to me. Conrad will ask a question tr... more
