Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 16 ratings
  • Sigh

    Unfortunately having to give one star as a podcast claiming to be about the business side of the industry raised the possibility of Kenny Omega leaving AEW for Impact. The equivalent of suggesting Leonardo Dicaprio may decide to only make movies for The Asylum going forward! Very foolish.
