  • Not Enough Ads

    Love the podcast but there are not enough ads. You can easily pump in another 5-10 minutes of ads. You really want to destroy any rhythm created by Cody with his guest with MORE ads. Maybe loop the ads back to back, there’s one idea, but you for sure need to add more advertising into this pod. You can’t have enough ads, let’s go get more ads.

  • Thank You Cody!

    I haven’t been much of a wrestling fan but I watched unReal recently and I am hooked. I love all the behind the scenes information and how the storylines are built and executed, it really put this sport into a new light for me and I can’t get enough.

  • Jamie Noble was greater than you’ll ever be

    And so are another 100 wrestlers I’ve seen over the years

    You should thank the machine every day because there’s 20 bigger stars on the show that get 1% of the machine to your 100%

    Can’t get cheered against a single top guy from the previous era lol, not one.
