  • The Absolute Best Podcast for wrestling fans!

    I am way behind on finding this podcast, however, 12 hours of listening to it on my way to the National Finals in Philadelphia is catching me up. The great questions asked to the athletes has me feeling like I could know them personally. This podcast is what wrestling needed. The way the athletes feel comfortable being interviewed by one of their own gives the listening experience a different feel. I will continue to press play long after I am caught up on every episode.

  • Great interviews and research

    Great interviews and research. Usually I hear something like the Gable interview, the interviewer fawns, fan boys over Gable and wants to talk about 72 Olympics all day and I’ve heard that story. Not the case here, questions and stories that some how, someone else hasn’t dug up in 50 years.
