  • Its ok

    Jim talking is great. Conrad however is awful, as He cant watch anything objectively and says that everything is good/ great. Even with aew’s low viewership he still promotes it. The guy will dance for any about of dollars showing how spineless he really is, but he does hang out with Bischoff so it makes sense. So ad ridden and they hardly discuss anything. Listen to Jim Cornette if you want a real unpaid and unbiased view.

  • Considering dropping Progressive!

    I’ve never once listened to this podcast, and I can’t stand its obnoxious Progressive ad repeating in quick succession on a podcast that I do listen to.
