  • MUST LISTEN

    Josh is truly one of the best in the business, his honest, authentic and real take of the wrestling world is unbelievable. His perspective on the business is refreshing, eloquent, and is truly a must listen. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Josh and the product he puts out every week. You’re not gonna get more real take than this.

  • Awful

So far, so good. I mean, I wasn't really expecting to get everything off the bat, so I really haven't had that much of a problem with him on the show.

Q: What can crowds learn from WWE currently overseas?

Q: Do you think we're getting closer to Adam and Christian's reunion?
If so, do you think it will be better than Adam's current solo run? Well, Mr. Zelenta, I'll just say that it can't get any worse. That's how I'll answer that.
