Deadhead-Dan10 ,

What a lovely pleasant surprise…

…this show was recommended by my pod app.
I was skeptical, thinking I have already filtered thru all the wrestling podcasts I care about (they’re down to OVP, TLF, GFA, and a couple others)…they hooked me here with the era they’re covering right now (late ‘84 WWF…its a super fun era and reminds me of when your favorite sports team is young and about to be awesome but not *quite* there yet…the anticipation and steady progress is exciting.
These guys do it justice. Well researched. Not as excitable or joke-heavy as TLF or OVP but not dry as that 5-hour dirt sheet show (forget the name but they’re good to put on before bed). Anyway, I subscribed after one show so…’nuff said!

The best wrestling podcast out there.

McAdam is entertaining and informative, and always delivers. Except on Truth Media, where he never seems to post. Wicked good
