Huge fan but I unsubscribed because of how many spoilers are in the episode titles. I can’t keep up in realtime with wrestling so it would be wonderful if the titles avoided spoilers.
Worldwide very good, masked man obnoxious

Love worldwide - weekly must listen. Can’t stand Kaz on masked man. Every topic somehow comes around to race and politics. We get it, you’re a lib.

I listen to every show every week and yall need to put som RESPECT on Khal’s name. He easily has the most logical takes on the feed. Shout out to Dip Flair too. There’s fantasy booking and there’s fantasy booking with LOGIC. They book with logic. Let me add that Shoes takes are getting progressively worse as the weeks go on. Kaz is outclassing him with takes on a consistent basis now days. Shoes’ fantasy bookings are terrible.

I really enjoy this show and look forward to it weekly. I must say the Shoes guy or whatever is name is. Makes the show borderline unlistenable. From the corny jokes to the flat out dumb takes and booking ideas. The only thing worth giving a listen is Kaz, dude has a good booking eye and his connections in the business and talent really carry the show. I’d like to see Kaz have his own show on this network away from the host who constantly over talks him. It’s really shocking that Shoes even has this platform because I’ve never heard of that guy and don’t know why he even has a platform.
