Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
Really enjoy the Strictly Business episodes. Eric is intelligent and great to listen to. My favourite podcast in the wrestling industry.
STRICTLY BUSINESS
John Alba ruins the show. Guy is an idiot. Where did you find this guy? Couldn’t have found a better co host? And his FAKE vocal fry is so annoying.
Bischoff is king
I love reliving the days of the Monday night wars. Brings me back to a simpler time when my only worries we’re making sure I had the vcr set to record while I was out playing. Bischoff changed wrestling for the better. Win or lose, the guy cemented his name in the legacy as one of the best creators. WWE is PG now. Without the Nwo and the attitude era. Couldn’t imagine what WWE would be like this day without all that. We want Bischoff in AEW!!
