Great Insight!

This is a great look from some unique perspectives. Loved the 90 year team discussion s!
Hat_tricks!!

Heard it the first time

A lot of “to your point” happening here. Good content with interesting takes however does it need to be said over and over again? Episodes could be half the length
thank you for a bad night

Diamond in the rough!

This podcast is nothing short of perfection!

Dernlan rocks

On an intellectual level, Askren is currently without par, except for Dernlan who may score ever so slightly higher than Askren. Lofty, lofty insights. Dernlan is the first individual who pushes Askren on the art of wrestling. The chemistry is a must listen for wrestling fans.

The best!!!

Great wrestling podcast, love Ben and Matt!

Askren

Ben’s the man! Not the way he wanted the fight to go but his reaction to it all shows why he is a champion. You can’t teach class.
Amesteojg

A great listen!

I love how knowledgable Ben is on the sport! A true competitor and appreciate his insight. Rudis is killing it!
Tana Coachys

Ben is great

I love hearing Ben’s opinions on current events in the world of wrestling. Makes my morning commute more fun. Also enjoy the technical breakdowns of technique and matches.
khcaver

Good content. Great hosts!

Good wrestling content. The only problem is that after I finish listening to an episode it always shows up in my list again a few days later. I will delete them, then sometimes it shows up a third time a few days after that! This is the only podcast that this happens with. Can you please look into this?

Love all wrestling talk

Show is great...I do miss Tommy when is he guest starring. Ben your awesome I am huge fan...but you need to try and stop talking over Derlan. You cut him off a lot and his insight is awesome. Either way love the show and never miss an episode.

Great podcast but you guys are killing me. Everyday I wake up to 32 “new” episodes of same 2 shows.
Bill RRL

Great Stuff!!

Love this podcast.. two unique perspectives breaking down all areas of our amazing sport!! Great insight and fun banter. Keep rocking!!
gonzgrl

Absolutely loving this podcast

Love all the phenomenal insight and information, I am learning a lot good stuff here. I would love to hear you cover WCWA topics. As parent of a female collegiate athlete, there is not a whole lot of coverage out there. Definitely an untapped demographic.
The terrific Dave

Two of the best minds in wrestling today.

Quality wrestling conversation by two people who know their stuff
