  • The best wrestling podcast

    The last man standing for me is Dutch. Where others have shown their ignorance on past and current events, Dutch has always been a gentleman. He shares his opinion but knows how to put out just enough that he never sounds stupid. James is awesome and is not afraid to attack the business when it’s necessary. Clear and concise Dutch and James keep it on point and relevant. Great job guys.

  • Rambling, lacks insight

    The cohost tries his best to keep Dutch on topic but invariably he ends up going off on tangents, reiterating information even the most casual fan knows.
