I’m looking forward to the G1 this year should be great
I can't listen to any podcast with clown Roberts
Martin is in a pissy mood. Not very entertaining.
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU SELECT FAIRPLAY AS A CO HOST??? CREDIBILITY G O N E..... OUT THA WINDOW.....
The wrestling show I used to listen to where they would ask for monthly subscriptions for…. exclusive interviews and deep dives. Youtube has all the deep dives and wrestling news one would want. The monthly subscription model, to hear others talk about a scripted show , does not seem like a viable business model. This is just my opinion.
It's so hard to listen to Bruce Mitchell talk sometimes with all the excessive Umms.
kind of bad taste to put so many ads on then ask to pay them to take off the ads
The commercials would put you off. But I'm not paying money.
over 45 commercials including commercials to get rid of the commercials, pretty bad.
WAY too long to start! WAY TOO LONG
I just subscribed to this podcast, it seems like every episode is nothing but a 40-minute commercial for the podcast, if this doesn't change I'll be unsubscribing real soon. I don't have time in my life to listen to a 40 minute commercial
wow. way to many commercials. in the first 22 minutes of the podcast only 7 minutes of it was the actual interview
I'll read the highlights elsewhere holy shit. more ads than the fucking Superbowl.
Just skip ahead to 17:36.
Actual interview starts at time 14:30.
The actual interview starts at time 11:20.
this thing had more commercials than a 3 hr ep of raw. and it's the same ones over and over and it takes u 20 min to get to the interview. I was here just for ambrose not ur podcast.
way too many commercials. would never pay extra just to get rid of them. i just fast fwd.
soooooooooooo many commercials
we just had one of the most important shows in wrestling history take place on Sat and you give us shows from 5 years ago instead of talking about AEW? There's a reason I no longer sub to your content.
