Customer Reviews
the best there is for wrestling interviews
My man cvv is the best in the business when it comes to wrestling interviews. every single episode is entertaining even if you’re not particularly a fan of the person he’s interviewing. check his stuff out, you’ll be entertained.
The best in the game
Chris hands down delivers the most real and intriguing interviews across many different fields. His approach to his craft and mindset gives a fresh feel while being welcoming and provide insight (see what I did there) into the lives of his guests than most interviews would. Couldnt recommend this more.
One of the best in the Biz
I stumbled (through the wrestling wormhole) upon Chris around 4 years ago. I followed him on YouTube and watch his interviews faithfully. He’s entertaining and asks solid questions. When I heard he had a podcast, I immediately subscribed! Great content. - TheBearded_Sumo
