Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • it was kinda cool to hear Freddie tell these stories about his time backstage but the co-host is terrible. I listened for a long time until I made it to one episode that was so bad that it actually pushed me to stop listening to all wrestling podcasts. so thanks for that

  • Changed my Review…again

    Well, I changed my initial review to something a little more critical. But now I’m changing it back. Great job Freddie, Jeff, & Alex for listening to honest criticism and seemingly adapting!

  • Meh

    Freddie Prinze Jr abandoning the amazing Jon Lee Brody on their super fun horror movie podcast to focus on working with MAGA Jeff Dye, who can’t read? Awful choice. FPJ is so likable but it becomes unlistenable to hear Jeff speak. Come back to horror, Freddie.

  • 5 stars for Freddie and 1 for Jeff so I’ll average it to a 3

    Love hearing all of Freddie’s insights but I much preferred when the show was just him. I can’t fast forward through Jeff’s bad takes quick enough.

It was an interesting journey with meetings and growing interest over time. There were moments of progress and cautious enthusiasm, and ultimately a belief that a weekly wrestling show on TBS/TNT could work, leading to long-term commitment and a gamble that paid off as AEW became a staple in primetime wrestling.
