Excellent for all wrestling fans!

The folks on this show do a great job at breaking down their topics without going into too much nuance. As such, I'd recommend it to both long-time fans of wrestling as well as those newer to wrestling and even folks who weren't around for the original (De)Generation X wrestling goodness.
