Wasn’t sure where to put this, since some talents are AEW, some WWE, and some don’t work currently with a major promotion. Beyond that, the content is about classic stuff, but the podcasts themselves are new. So, if this needs to be moved I totally understand.
My favorite for a long time was Bruce, because of the chemistry the two have. However, slowly JR’s show has surpassed Something to Wrestle for me; just love his knowledge on the history of the biz (having been around since ‘74), and am definitely a fan of the fact that he isn’t negative toward the modern product like Mr. Jim Cornette.
Which is your favorite?

I’ve been listening to the Pritchard podcast since it started but have been really enjoying the Jarret podcast lately consider this is the first time he’s really done any shoots.

Something to Wrestle has been my favorite, mainly because they tend to cover my favorite period of wrestling quite often (early WWF).
I guess I prefer to listen to guys who were actually there so if its like Attitude Era or Mid-South Id listen to JR, JCP/WCW era would be Tony or Arn etc

The only one that I occasionally listen to is with Bruce. I really should start listening to Angle though, seems pretty good from the little bit I’ve heard in my friend’s car.

Obviously Bruce in the beginning but it's gone downhill since he rejoined the WWF. Tony's is the funniest. JR's is great because they usually cover some of my favorite shows from 2000/01. Arn's is good for more modern stuff but the every other week Q&As didn't do it for me, have not listened to that one in a while.
Jeff's really changed my view of his, I still don't like his wrestling persona but the real life guy is pretty awesome. I love Kurt & enjoy his show too but listening to him & seeing how he has lost a step hurts a little. His speaking & interview style from now compared to a decade ago is totally different.
Lately I have been binge watching WCW from 95-98 in order, so, 83 Weeks is my favorite. Eric goes to the Dave bashing well a little too often but it's his shtick by now & people listen in hoping to hear it.

The only one I listen to is JR but I only look forward to Cornette. Everyone else sounds dead or dying. I’ve started to listen to some Busted Open as well, but I don’t care for Mark Henry on there. I like when it’s Bully.

I have really hopped around on favorites since his shows all started. I've been listening to Conrad since he had the Ric Flair show, and then I started listening the the Prichard show when the first episode came out.
I have sort of fallen off of wrestling podcasts as of late, so I just unsubscribed to the Arn Show. I was just deleting them every week to clear up my library. Its a good show when they have a good topic, but it seemed like for weeks they just cover month-to-month schedules of 2010-2015 PPVs and said the same things over and over again. I do love hearing Arn voice his major frustrations with the WWE, though. He seems to share much of the same 'fan' perspective when it comes to use of talent, match timing, creative decisions, etc. There are some really good episodes in there.
Kurt Show is a bit similar to the Arn Show. Kurt just remembers the wrestling aspect of the events, so I don't care for when the go linear with PPV events week-to-week. Why talk about Rumble 2006 and then in two weeks, talk about No Way Out '06? Do one 2-hour show that is on-topic for Kurt's January-April '06 run. It gets repetitive and boring at times. I do love Kurt's storytelling and he's a ton of fun, though. He's such an open book and its great to listen to him open up so much after such a wonderful career.
Schiavone Show is so funny but I don't like their current 1986 format so I dropped off listening to that.
Bischoff Show can be really good but I feel like they almost exhausted all of their topics. I am not sure how much further they can go with this. When it first started a few years ago, it had a fantastic run of great shows. Now, they are stretching it a bit. Bischoff can also be really frustrating to listen to, and his though processes can be so egotistical. It makes you want to walk away completely.
Jarrett Show has been so good! Every episode since launching a few months back has been so informative and I've heard a perspective about WWF/WCW/TNA that I've never heard before. GREAT listen for wrestling fans.
JR Show is fantastic. He's just a great storyteller and so 'no nonsense.' I think Conrad doesn't push back enough on JR, though. The only time I remember Conrad ever questioning Jim was when JR said he didn't think that Goldust was a gay character. JR talks out of his ass sometimes and is totally wrong on shows/runs/dates/time eras and Conrad will just glaze by. But, always a good listen.
Prichard Show is the OG and still the GOAT. For regular listeners, we are all annoyed as hell when we get the "best of" shows in our feed. Prichard show really has pivoted since Bruce is back with WWE and that is understandable. They still manage to put out good shows. Most recently, I loved the Undertaker 1998/1999 episodes. Its not what it used to be, but its where it all started and I still think its a fantastic listen most of the time.

Each episode is great and we get a unique perspective of a dual Booker/performer. Plus it’s great to finally hear his side of the 1999 No Mercy stuff instead of the WWE revisionist “he held Vince up and never drew a dime” crap. |

I used to love the Prichard show, but I can’t deal with Conrad anymore. I no longer listen to any of them. Of the 4 I listened to (Prichard, Schiavone, Bischoff, JR) I only really liked Prichard and Schiavone. Prichard dropped off after he returned to WWE, and Schiavone was more about the jokes than anything else, but the jokes got repetitive, and was never as funny as Cornette anyway. If I never hear Conrad’s voice again it’ll be too soon.
These days I rarely listen to wrestling podcasts at all, but when I do it’s only Corny.

Got tired of them when they all became loaded with ads to sell his way overpriced ad free crap. I still check out random shows if they interest but the ads really turn me away

Bruce’s will always be my favorite. My work commute has changed drastically from 2 hours total per day, down to 20 minutes. So I’m not able to listen as much to the others as I did before. My runner up is JR’s.

Weirdly find the Bischoff ones the most enjoyable. I like any perspective on wrestling that goes beyond workrate and storylines. It's a complicated business, after all. Jarrett feels like it's going in a similar direction, with the construction of TNA, but I don't think they've found their flow yet. Jeff is still getting comfortable, and Conrad is a bit too mean to him. Insulting Eric Bischoff is one thing, but Jarrett seems like too sensitive a soul.

Schiavone's was my fave.
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.
Schiavone was hilarious and didnt give a damn

Bischoff, because he wasn't a wrestling guy from the get go, and has a different slant on things than Prichard, Ross, Schiavone, etc... I dig the behind the business type stuff that goes past creative, and Eric provides more of that than any of them. Jarrett is getting there.
I catch some of Cornette stuff too. Non of these do I listen to full episodes, I don't have that much uninterrupted time. I do listen to the Youtube clips from most of these shows, since they tend to be 6-10 minutes each and are easier to digest.
I do prefer Conrad to Brian Last as a co-host, but that's not saying much.

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.
