Please get new microphones

This is a great show, but everyone sounds like they’re talking through a tin can. You can hear everyone breathing in, moving their microphones, and even background sounds like babies crying. I really do like the content so I stick with it but please invest in better equipment!

Dishonest “Journalist” Marks

Two people that think way more highly of themselves than they actually are. You cover a fake sport like it’s real. You highjack news conferences of a fake sport to ask questions just to get yourself over with the rest of your fake journalist buddies.

They couldn’t care any less about the performers or the actual product they cover, when it comes to the WWE. I guarantee all the stuff they pull with the WWE, they’d never pull on AEW or their god, Tony Khan. They’re lucky someone like Dana White isn’t at these pressers. Don’t listen to this, go listen to shows that have actual wrestlers, that actually know the sport, and not MARKS.
