  • Pretty pretty pretty good

    Way better than all those repetitive pro Trump/aew junk from the fat slob and his crew in Alabama. Way less commercials too. For review purposes, of course.

  • Meh

    Nostalgic, but the host is weirdly a big fan of old, racist promos.

    The host also lacks personality.
