“This is among my top two favorite pro-wrestling podcasts with the word "ropes" in the title! Light on breaking news; heavy on opinion. Likable hosts. Minimal "fluff" to fast forward past. Worth checking out!”
“Fun and informative wrestliing podcast. They just have fun and don't take themselves too seriously. Great pod to listen too when I'm out for my run. Only request is to see Rob-- EAT THAT HAT!!!!”

“Shake Them Ropes is a terrific podcast for anyone with even a cursory interest in WWE. Rob and Jeff have good interplay. I occasionally get frustrated with Jeff being in Grump Mode, but he is incredibly wise, and has warranted substance behind his occasional pessimism. Plus, it wouldn't be very...”Read full review »

“These two guys have always great thoughts about wrestling (essentially WWE) and discuss it with lots of arguments. Everything is great except the waiting for Rob eating his hat. Enjoy.”
“I was first introduced to both Rob McCarron and Jeff Hawkins as podcasting personalities while they were guests on other podcasts hosted by some guy named Sean Ross Sapp. As good as Sapp was, I always found myself more interested to hear McCarron and Hawkins. McCarron has a great deadpan,...”Read full review »

“This is the only podcast I keep up with every week. The dynamic between Rob and Jeff is hilarious. Most wrestling podcasts have become overwhelming negative but STR has a good balance. I usually save it for a commute and it does not disappoint.”

“I am listening to Shake them ropes for over three years and it is consistently the best weekly review of what is going on in WWE. The team has such a great chemistry, they don't waste time on anything and stick to the one hour format, they are fun and have great thoughts on the WWE product. A...”Read full review »
“This is a pretty fun wrestling podcast that focuses heavily on the WWE. They really "bring it to the table" if you know what I mean. The host Rob is like a mix of a poor man's Dan Lebatard and a poor man's Stugotz. Rob has an unique sense of humor and view on pro-wrestling. Where as co-host Jeff...”Read full review »

“I rarely watch that much WWE so use this to catch up. Always enjoyable listen other than their unshakable belief in thinking WWE is booked using logic and reason.
They really should get Jeff to review old school NWA at least once a month. Give the poor guy a break.
Sometime soon, one of Robs...”Read full review »

“Shake Them Ropes is awesome. Rob and Jeff have great chemistry, each brings his own expertise and experience to the party and it comes together very nicely. These guys are the only good thing on the VoW network and I'm so glad they have their own stream.”

“It took me a long time to find a wrestling podcast that I could really get into and look forward to, but then last year I found STR. I find all the other wrestling pods too long, too goofy, or too boring. STR definitely hits the spot and gives me the WWE coverage I want, along with great info...”Read full review »

“I love STR for a few different reasons. One, Rob and Jeff have great chemistry and are hilarious. Two, I can stay caught up with basically every hot topic in wrestling with a single one-hour podcast. Three, their analysis of the WWE, NJPW and other promotions is knowledgeable and entertaining....”Read full review »

“It's a good show, when they're talking about wrestling. Tends to drag a bit when they start with the terrible Donald Trump impressions. My only suggestion for improvement is to just simply talk about the topic at hand.”

“If you're looking for a concise, WWE-focused podcast, this is the one. Cerebral smark Rob McCarron and old school poet Jeff Hawkins play off each other well; both listen as well as they talk. It helps that they care about and enjoy the product first, and when they are critical, it means more....”Read full review »
