  • 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

  • If you enjoy a bunch of ads or enjoy Bruce kissing WWE's ass considering that he still works there or Bruce complaining about Dave Meltzer then this is the podcast for you. I just can't handle this crap anymore. This podcast was good before he went back to wwe.
