  • 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.

  • 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.

Kaz prefers the halftime show over Halftime Heat, suggesting that there's no match in wrestling that could draw him away from a Super Bowl halftime show, especially with big names like Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna performing.

Q: Are there any surprise return entrants that are going to be bigger than the Chris Jericho one that we're all predicting?
I feel like there's somebody out there whose AEW contract has run out that didn't report to anybody, didn't tell nobody.
