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!

4.5
4.5 stars is too low. I would give them six stars

Love the show very odd couple like. Jeff is very knowledgeable, funny, well spoken, and Rob is the other guy.

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 »

Big fan of this podcast and the hosts are fantastic.

Good mix of intelligent analysis and entertaining banter.
Uncheelsadhijvdd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/17
Both Rob and Jeff bring humor and intelligent conversations to the wrestling podcast world, which makes it a must listen.

Rob is the greatest insider of all time

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.
NerdReality via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/17
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 »

Love this show, always an enjoyable listen (even when the guys get a little negative). Keep up the great work STR!

I enjoy this podcast like the byplay between the two hosts. I listen during driving or workouts. Been following pro wrestling since 1955. Saw ortons grandfather wrestle in msg. I would recommend this podcast any fan.
4xarmking via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/17
Love this podcast. The chemistry between Rob and Jeff makes it an enjoyable listen and unlike other wrestling podcasts, it doesn't get bogged down by every detail. A must listen every week

Really fun
Head Cheese (@blu_reymysterio) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/17
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 »

These guys are really down to earth and realistic on their take of wresting. Guys, your absolutely AWSOME!! My son and I listen. You tell it straight.

This is the Omega/Okada of podcasts.
Rob n Jeff r great via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/17
Listen to it!
Brianb2099 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/17
Always enjoy the show and as someone noted in another review, the informed opinions make this a great listen.
Julieann N via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/17
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 »
Ryan Glaspell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/17
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.
SigSigSignify via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/17
These guys know their stuff and offer a lot of good insight to everything WWE. Definitely worth a subscription to keep up with WWE.
IAmChrisCali via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/17
Rob and Jeff are so funny! This podcast is so phenomenal. I never miss an episode and you both do such a great job explaining everything and give great insight in wrestling today.
Kobe1718 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/17
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 »

As a 35 year old, I have zero friends who still watch wrestling. This show allows me to hang out and listen/talk wrestling! Only complaint is that it is just an hour. Keep up the good work!
Chad Indy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/16
Started listening to Shake Them Ropes last year and it has quickly become a must on my weekly podcast rotation. Rob and Jeff have a great dynamic and manage to stay informative and insightful about the week's programming while interjecting a lot of humour. Really worth a listen.
CSnap via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/23/16
Love the banter, the hot takes, and Rob's deadpan delivery of jokes. Keep it up/
Miichael via · 08/18/16
This is a great podcast to subscribe to if you enjoy the perspectives and opinions of others on WWE like I do myself. Rob and Jeff bring unique and original views on storyline development, backstage drama and just about anything you can think about in the WWE. If you consider yourself a fan of...Read full review »

I've got back into wrestling this year after 10 years out of the loop and went looking for a decent podcast to compliment my viewing of WWE. I listened to 4 or 5 different shows and wasn't impressed with what is out there until I found this show. Informative and speculative, a great little extra...Read full review »

Robs awesome, I can't wait to see him eat a hat.

Had to give 5 stars. Love the show
igshark via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/16
Can't stand the sound of Jef's voice, but I love the sound of Rob's. 🤷 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anani Moose via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/16
This podcast is at the top of my queue when it comes out. I listen to it every week.
earthdog7900 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/16
Enjoy the back and forth, personalities. Highly recommended
J do the pearl hizzle dizzle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/16
By far the best in-depth wresting podcast. Rob and Jeff are great!
Algrey1979 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/16
Good podcast and they have up to date news and good opinions only negative is when Jeff does his radio voice gets a lil annoying in EarPods but overall good show

I mean bro, bro the don't swerve me and put down me at every. We demand Alex Riley that Jeff Hawkins does believe in A-Ri. That Joe Lanza knows I main evented a Wrestlemainia 27 and beat John Cena. Its a great podcast. RAGE
Alex Riley by HeadCheese via · 07/06/16
Big fan of the show from Germany. STR has silently become my favorite wrestling podcast. I caught myself throwing out the Austins and Cabanas of the podcast world and eagerly awaiting new STR episodes. The chemistry and insights of Jeff Hawkins and Rob McCarron are not only entertaining, but also...Read full review »
