WOW - EP330 - The Critic
This week host Tim Kail shares with listeners the ten things he's learned since becoming a pro-wrestling critic. The list includes:
Allow for change. Set goals - even if they're big. Interviews with fellow fans are better than interviews with "in the business". Emotional detachment might be necessary. Relationships evolve, and if the foundation is love it will last. Know when not to talk. Don't take social media seriously. Cherish your audience. Keep doubts in their proper place. You will surprise yourself (and you should). And much more!

Customer Reviews
I love this show!
I love this show. I can’t remember how I originally heard about this show but I was immediately hooked by how different it was. In its presentation and outlook. There wasn’t and isn’t anything like it. Tim bears his soul on here. It doesn’t take long to see how sincere and genuine he is. Even if I don’t agree with him on everything, I always enjoy his honest take on wrestling and life. I’ll probably aways listen as long as he is producing content.
Professional wrestling is an art
Tim Kail knows that so much goes into wrestling beyond what we see on the surface. His thoughtful analysis makes me feel like wrestling could be taught in schools alongside great works.
Great Stuff
Tim Kail really knows his stuff. He goes above and beyond with his constructive criticism and analysis.
