Customer Reviews
You know what I mean?
If you want to get really drunk, take a drink every time "You know what I mean?" is said. Other than that, it is a really good podcast. Well informed/knowledgeable hosts.
Poor editing is killing it for me
I love Wrestling Soup and have been listening for years now. But for the last year or two, whatever is going on with their editing is making it harder to listen (on Spotify). There is ZERO indication when cutting to an advertisement. They will be mid-sentence and even mid-word when an ad pops in, which is really quite jarring. They used to take the time to put in a sound effect or some sort of bumper that indicates they are cutting to a break, but they seem to have completely abandoned that. They also seem to now use some sort of auto-editor to cut some swear words and gaps that doesn't work very well. It just makes the dialogue awkwardly jumpy. I know these are probably time-saving measures, and I get it, but I'm just finding it harder to listen to the more it happens. Again, for the record, I'm a long time fan and I truly love this show, but the poor editing now is just getting harder to deal with.
The two star reviews are on point
Been listening for the last 6-7 years. Joey and John are the most humorous parts when they are able to work together. Unfortunately, that third voice has been in a bad way and wish that would change since he is a huge component to the show. Ultimately, the show is starting to fade into the occasional listen pile and I’m afraid it’s going the way of the Don Tony show. The man behind the production of the podcast is in bad shape and is weighing down the show to the point of being parody. The majority of insight from the host is made up on the spot and while also inventing sources for news. Thank god people in chat actually call him on it or make corrections to stop what would ultimately be false narratives on the events that he didn’t care to read about. This is someone who has some weird tint to reality with shades of sexism and biased from hardships outside the show. This show was great once and Joe does his best. However, I’m done and I hope the host can get help to improve his overall outlook on things outside of wrestling because he’s a talented person who just needs to improve his ability to take alternative perspectives.
-Came back to listen to a few recent episodes and I can tell you that Missionary has not changed in his limited knowledge. I will give a full star simply because you have a washed up hard-core booker like Kevin Castle, pretending that his life is still relevant in 2024 thank you so much for your contributions to political ideology big guy.
