- 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.
