Must listen for wrestling fans

Must see matches has become a must listen podcast for me weekly. The level of detail and research for the show is fantastic. Some of the matches I voted for made the list and have been discussed which is great but what’s better is this podcast has made me seek out some of the other matches discussed such as 1980s All Japan or All Japan’s women’s matches. Great work by these guys. Keep them coming. Love the effort, back story. Highlight of the week. Thanks guys.

Must see show for wrestling fans!

Really fun show that gets me nostalgic for great matches I enjoyed and opens my eyes to new matches I’ve never seen!

The 2 hosts complement each other well and the rotating cast of guests are always entertaining. Their enthusiasm for the matches they nominated shines through and makes me want to watch them too
