The Ringer Wrestling Show

Shoemaker isn’t bad, but like, if kaz like, could get his thoughts out like like or like without all the likes in between it might bring it back to a B plus show. Needs worldwide guys back.

Kaz comes across as one of the most inauthentic voices I’ve heard in podcasting. His takes on social media and on the show feel engineered purely to bait engagement rather than offer anything meaningful. It’s hard not to notice that he couldn’t cut it as a WWE writer, yet now has a platform to ramble unchecked alongside Shoemaker, who always sounds completely checked out and barely engaged. Brian and Ben don’t help matters. They try too hard to position themselves as must-hear personalities, but it comes off forced and unconvincing. The chemistry isn’t there, and the whole production feels like it’s coasting without direction. At this point, the show feels worn out and uninspired. This latest run is especially rough. Save your time.

If you’re gonna interview wrestlers, can the question be asked w/o talking over the wrestler or asking a question with poise. Seems a bit nervous interacting with them.

This show used to be a must-listen every week (then twice a week). Shoemaker is still great, Kaz was once very good but is now such an unrepentant WWE shill that the show is unlistenable. Going up for the mid, so critical of AEW. Sad to depart the first wrestling podcast that I really connected with, but not all relationships are meant to last.
