  • Favorite Wrestling Podcast

    Chris brings two interviews to his podcast each week and each time it almost feels like you are in the room with him listening to two friends talk. He is great at making people feel comfortable, getting them to open up and share info that you don’t hear everywhere else. But my favorite pod he drops each week is on Friday’s where he covers listener questions. He is just down to earth, funny and authentic. I strongly recommend giving it a listen.

  • Best wrestling podcast in the world.

    My man CVV! Hasn’t even been a year yet since I’ve discovered this podcast & I have been hooked! Chris is an amazing interviewer, such a natural, humble, and genuine person. Being such a fan of the craft, he always has good & though-provoking questions for the guests and not to mention his weekly DailyCVV which i love, it allows us to come along to discuss & theorize wrestling. CVV keep doing you man! And as far as my top 3 things i’m grateful for, Insight Live is on that list!
