If you want to hear 2 guys try to get a job with WWE every episode this is your show. Straight shills these fellas, everything WWE does is great in their “opinion” .. I’m not saying dump on WWE but even when the product is obviously bad they talk about it like it’s the best thing since sliced bread it’s horrible to listen to. People want to listen to a wrestling podcast not you 2 trying to get a job with WWE & in Kaz’s case trying to get his job back with WWE .. embarrassing yikes.
I have been a fan since the cheap heat days. I'm out on wwe these days for creative and political reasons. I love the aew content on the pod but there's way too little of it. This entire episode is entirely aew-free. I barely ever listen anymore except the ppv preview pods since those are usually mostly aew content, although even then they pretty much always sneak in a little wwe at the end. I'm still subscribed but almost never download.
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.
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
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
