  • Thorough, informative discussion about the world of pro wrestling

    Joe and Rich have a wealth of knowledge, and do a great job of covering the many aspects of pro wrestling. They talk about a variety of promotions from around the world, while also analysing the latest news.

    The banter, and occasional family member run-ins, add to the entertainment for me.

    Overall, it’s a great podcast if you want a high level, lighthearted view of the current pro wrestling landscape.
