  • Refreshing

    Everybody and there mother has a podcast now and Chris understands this and doesn't act pretentious at all. Very relatable, he is a fan like the rest of us.

    Best wrestling podcast/ interview show because CVV is the best interviewer in the wrestling space.

    He is able to get all of our favorites regularly because the wrestlers themselves appreciate his approach.

    If you were apprehensive you shouldn't be but if you are still hopefully this helps you reconsider.

    Oh yeah the cherry on top no patr... more
