  • Jokes that land flat

    i like to hear the reactions and opinions of pro-wrestling but this one really lands flat. Kaz’ jokes fail to amuse, in particular one in a recent episode about the lack of care in the women’s division and his response “well women belong in the kitchen right” Gross. i’ll give the benefit that it was meant to be sarcastic but it fell flat and with no follow up just reinforces that he doesn’t give an eff about women’s wrestling so as a women who loves wrestling, not the content for me.

  • Love the Show!

    Shoemaker brings the knowledge of a wrestling historian with info on many different organizations. Kaz brings great insight from an insider’s perspective, being a former WWE writer. You can tell that they’re legit fans and they’re fair with their overviews

  • The Worst

    Kaz comes across as one of the most inauthentic voices I’ve heard in podcasting. His takes on social media and on the show feel engineered purely to bait engagement rather than offer anything meaningful. It’s hard not to notice that he couldn’t cut it as a WWE writer, yet now has a platform to ramble unchecked alongside Shoemaker, who always sounds completely checked out and barely engaged.

    Brian and Ben don’t help matters. They try too hard to position themselves as must-hear personalities, bu... more

  • Cruz

    If you’re gonna interview wrestlers, can the question be asked w/o talking over the wrestler or asking a question with poise. Seems a bit nervous interacting with them.

  • When Kaz starts on Roman, skip

    Kaz’s hero worship of Roman Reigns is exhausting. And his takes are very frequently wrong. But Shoebridge is good and their chemistry is great.

Kevin Knight on Blowing Up Darby Allin and Mara Sadé’s Free Agency
Q: What should we expect from this match?
Knight says the encounter will be all-out chaos and a massacre, not a technical bout, emphasizing a fight-to-the-death vibe and the potential danger for Darby, while promising a dramatic Wembley moment.
A Masked Man Mailbag!
Q: From Adam Graydon on Twitter, how do you explain the similarities and differences of wrestlers deserving of world champion status to the masses?
They differentiate between potential versus deservingness: many wrestlers show the potential to be champions, but deserving status depends on consistent, compelling performance and marketability; a true world champion should be someone fans want to watch every week and who can deliver high-quality matches, not just someone who ticks certain boxes.
Chris Jericho on WWE Rumors and AEW Return. Plus the Wembanyama of Pro Wrestling
Q: Was Jericho's return to AEW ever in doubt, or was it always a given?
Jericho explains that he was never actively negotiating with WWE and that fan speculation reflected the noise of the era, but his decision to return to AEW ultimately aligned with creative fit and opportunities.
