Customer Reviews
Great show!
Great addition to my wrestling podcast rotation, the hosts always dive into topics in such an engaging way and provide perspective not found in other shows. Really great and highly recommended!
I tried
Tried listening to two episodes but it seems like all the English lady does is complain about wrestling
Thoughtful and Incisive
Great pod! In a medium like wrestling where everything is behind several curtains of kayfabe, Trish and Sarah do such amazing research to find the truth and motivations behind the spectacle. This podcast is as fun as it is important.
