  • Awesome

    I am no fan of a Duke Blue Devil, but I am a fan of Ryan and Andrew and Somewhere in the Ring. I’ve been watching wrestling since I was a kid and listening to these guys is like my friends and I talking. I love their recaps of PLE’s and the predictions they will make. Keep it up BABY!

  • What a good show

    I really enjoy this podcast. I was familiar with Ryan from “Somewhere in then Skies” and the other Fortian shows he’s appeared on so when this popped up it -being so different- figured there must be something to it.

    It’s a lot of fun. The commentary is informed without being douchey, the hosts are clearly having fun with the subject matter without the need to be right and some of the predictions are nothing I could ever come up with.

    I had been out of the wrestling world since 2008’ish and rece... more

  • Must-Listen for Wrestling Newbies!

    As someone who's always hovered on the fringes of pro wrestling—dabbling in early Smackdown games on PlayStation and catching the excitement secondhand from my brother—I never dove deep into the wrestling world. Honestly, the sheer volume of backstory seemed like a towering wall for a newcomer like me, deterring me from ever truly embracing the sport. My fascination lies more with UFOs, so when Ryan announced this podcast, I was intrigued and dove in headfirst. It's been nothing short of transfo... more

  • A hilarious look at modern professional wrestling

    Ryan’s and Andrew make a great team on this unique pro wrestling podcast. They play off each-other well while being entertaining without the humor feeling forced. I can’t recommend this show enough to people looking for some fun light listening by two genuine fans.
