    A “gentleman’s 3”🙄🤮 of a podcast, saved by “funny” impressions. Whinging on Twitter is not a “campaign”🙄 Also, is there any need for 5-8 podcasts to drop every single day? it’s probably a ploy to stop listeners from enjoying other podcasts. It’s as though they’ve been given huge amounts of money to churn loads of them out as if they were not doing this in the first place anyway. No need for preview shows or list shows dropping months after they’ve been on YouTube 🙄personally, I mark the ones... more

  • Female wrestlers held to different standard?

    Love most of it and the banter is great but Sidge spends a lot of time slating female wrestlers . For example Mercedes has had fantastic matches worked her arse off but meh I hats she done. Harley is pure joy but she’s not as over as she was. Saraya comes back from injury that was thought to be career ending meh she can’t work. Toni has peaked?!!! Don’t think it’s malicious but it’s there and the list goes on

  • Excessive amount of ads

    I listen to a lot of wrestling podcasts but this one by far has the most advertisements. I get revenue has to be made, but there’s a point where it becomes absolutely excessive.

    On top of that, many of these episodes are just what they upload on youtube. I don’t really hear any actual podcast happening.
