It’s nice to hear a podcast with two guys that are actually fans and not just hate watching for ad dollars. They don’t take themselves too seriously and you have fun listening to them having fun.
Great

Used to love this wrestling podcast - as a female wrestling fan I’m disgusted in how sexist Andrew and Rich are. Their hostility towards women is evident in their takes on the Vince McMahon situation and basically blaming women for speaking up - they don’t actually have anything meaningful to say besides defending their Joe Rogan unpopular opinions.
