Only ever listened to JR’s, Angle’s & Bischoff’s.
The JR one is probably the better of the 3. Not overly keen on Angle’s, just get the feeling he doesn’t remember much but just goes along with the conversation.

I used to enjoy the Bruce Prichard one until they started editing out all the breathing - it doesn't only sound unnatural, but it makes it exhausting to listen to. I can't watch any YouTubers who do the same.

How does think bumpkin have so many wrestling podcasts?!
Personally could never get into wrestling podcasts with cohosts that weren’t really in the business. The early years of the Steve Austin show were a chore to get through because he had some idiot with him.

It used to be Bruce but it’s been horrible lately. The remixes are pretty good because it’s the greatest hits. Bruce mails it in now on new ones. He just isn’t funny anymore, rants about Meltzer constantly, and defends horsesh*t he used to be able to laugh about.
The Jarrett pod is my favorite right now. It’s mostly the subject matter but Jarrett seems to have a good memory and such a positive perspective on his experiences. He was around some key WWF moments during New Gen and AE, he was in WCW at a wild time and was a central performer during said time, and then getting to hear the TNA evolution is amazing. Especially since it should have failed nine thousand different times.
I can’t listen to JR. I love Tony but he’s scatter brained. Eric is the most informative because I love the business side of his pod but he’s got some really full of sh*t/misremembers moments. Eric’s is less entertaining and more analytical and I wish it was more entertaining at times. So the Jarrett pod does both pretty well.

Bruce is such a suck up and even when he wasn't back with WWE, would never really admit any fault or lay blame on WWE. This is why it's hard for me to like Prichard. Whether he's employed by them or not, he's 100% for/about the brand (you'd think he was a McMahon). He's been around for so much, and he seems likeable, but it's ruined because you know everything he's going to say will be to defend or talk up WWE or the decisions he/Vince/whomever made. |

Prichard, I suppose. He’s been there and done it. I want to be a fan of JR’s podcast for the same reason, but whenever I listen to it he just sounds so miserable, and sometimes cracks me up when he’ll answer a reasonable question with a bizarre unrelated rant about modern wrestlers. I want to like Kurt Angle’s show too, but it makes me kinda sad. Same goes for Arn's. I love Arn's stories but his voice is sometimes hard to follow because it's so raspy. Bruce Prichard is the easiest to follow. |

I feel like Conrad & Bruce have the best report and thus have the most interesting show. I genuinely like listening to all of them, they are each different in their own way. I feel like on the Kurt Angle podcast, Conrad is almost trying to show Kurt how to podcast, it feels like a tutorial to me a lot of time haha, but it’s still enjoyable.
I initially couldn’t stand Bruce Pritchard as he came off like a total WWE homer, but as the years have went on I think that’s what makes the show great. I get him a bit more now. The dynamic of Conrad calling him out on his biases makes it a good show for me.
JR looks like he’s literally trapped in the 90’s with his interface haha. It’s a dumb thing but I wish he would just sit a bit further back & just film himself sitting in his seat.

I also saw a difference though with Bruce when the show first started to now when the WWE signed him back. He is still good but I think there's a slight difference in him. |

I also saw a difference though with Bruce when the show first started to now when the WWE signed him back. He is still good but I think there's a slight difference in him. For sure, it’s funny because when it started Bruce was like very, nobody cares about this, he was very confrontational and defensive. Then as the numbers started to roll in you can see he really started to embrace the show & enjoyed doing it. Now I feel like he’s on the road again and he’s tired, he also had nothing to lose before where as now he has to answer to anything controversial he says, there may be a consequence to it so you’re getting the WWE employee Bruce as opposed to the, I just won’t say anything against the people I like Bruce. He’s always been a WWE homer, but he would be more loose lipped where as now you can tell he has a filter. I still enjoy it though, it was definitely better before but Conrad has become the star of all this for me. I enjoy listening to his podcasts because he makes them good. |

Is Conrad still actively adding new people or has he kind of reached maximum capacity?

The last time I listened to a wrestling podcast, it was Roddy Piper’s, if that tells you how long ago it was.

Whenever I think about Conrad Thompson I picture Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I used to love Something to Wrestle With Bruce Prichard and for a while, it was my favorite podcast. I still think every now and again there is the odd gem here as they have great chemistry. What kills it for me now is the ads! I get that they have to make money, but the frequent ads and the length of them really spoils the shows for me. Again, I get they are trying to make money so it is a harsh thing for me to critisize.
