  • Once Great, Now Bad

    This show used to be a must-listen every week (then twice a week). Shoemaker is still great, Kaz was once very good but is now such an unrepentant WWE shill that the show is unlistenable.

    Going up for the mid, so critical of AEW. Sad to depart the first wrestling podcast that I really connected with, but not all relationships are meant to last.

  • Kaz Gross Bodily Functions Are Audible

    Please scrub Kaz’ belching, throat-clearing and mucus-sniffling before uploading episodes. Please stop Shoemaker’s constant over-talking Kaz. Is it time to end a once-good thing?

  • Really Kaz?

    So Kaz thinks the counter-programming by WWE is to promote the rivalry? Thank you David for vehemently pushing back. Worst take I’ve ever heard. Can u be more of a WWE shill? Good Lord.

  • Like like like

    Shoemaker isn’t bad, but like, if kaz like, could get his thoughts out like like or like without all the likes in between it might bring it back to a B plus show. Needs worldwide guys back.

  • Disappointing lately

    Great podcast for talking wrestling with insightful discussion. I just wish David & Kaz would have more professionalism when recording. More than a few times I’ve heard kids screaming and dogs barking. Is it that hard to box up in a room for 45 minutes. You can tell they’re recording in the kitchen or living room sometimes.
