I got into wrestling a couple of years ago, and this is the only wrestling podcast that I've been able to find that I actually like. It treats it as an art instead of a sport and doesn't have 2 loud bozos trying to make each other laugh. I don't really have anyone to talk to about wrestling, and this works as a pretty good substitute. I just wish it covered AEW more considering how much better Dynamite is than Raw right now.
I love this show. I can’t remember how I originally heard about this show but I was immediately hooked by how different it was. In its presentation and outlook. There wasn’t and isn’t anything like it. Tim bears his soul on here. It doesn’t take long to see how sincere and genuine he is. Even if I don’t agree with him on everything, I always enjoy his honest take on wrestling and life. I’ll probably aways listen as long as he is producing content.
Tim Kail knows that so much goes into wrestling beyond what we see on the surface. His thoughtful analysis makes me feel like wrestling could be taught in schools alongside great works.

Vs the other wrestling podcasts out there. Tim is very passionate about wrestling and that makes the podcast that much more interesting. I’d be interested to hear his opinion on MLW (a personal favorite of mine).
