The WWE god

I have never really been interested in retro wrestling stories, however I have only just started listening to this particular podcast and I have also lined up all episodes and I’m going to go through them one by one just to show my appreciation and commitment for the podcast and Mooney I also think that you are one of the most underrated announcers and interviewers in all of wrestling the only thing that I would recommend to improve on in the podcast is the advertising commercials in between conversations and discussions also I’m autistic and from the United Kingdom in Essex England and I’m also 15 and I really appreciate your passion and input that you put in to your wrestling journalism.
If possible I would really like you to carefully read this review at some point if possible.
Best regards and yours sincerely
The WWE god(aka Freddie Rippingale)

Highly recommended

Keeping me sane through lockdown. One of my favourite podcasts and Sean remains as passionate today as he was during the Prime Time era. Love hearing all the BTS tidbits and also his opinion about wrestlers he worked alongside. The ‘watch alongs’ are really interesting.

Steady with the adverts

Great pod ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Bringing back lots of memories from when I was a kid and absolutely loved wrestling. Listened to all of these now.... great guests and great stories. I must say though that the adverts on here are starting to become a little frustrating. I understand you have to pay the bills . But every 15 minutes is to much :(
