…this show was recommended by my pod app. I was skeptical, thinking I have already filtered thru all the wrestling podcasts I care about (they’re down to OVP, TLF, GFA, and a couple others)…they hooked me here with the era they’re covering right now (late ‘84 WWF…its a super fun era and reminds...Read full review »

McAdam is entertaining and informative, and always delivers. Except on Truth Media, where he never seems to post. Wicked good

Fantastic podcast almost as good as both Jim cornette show 🤘

I enjoy this show's format and the subjects they talk about. But it really needs a better co-host or guests on here to talk. Steve is just cringe to listen to. Jon Boucher is ok, Sean was great. But man, now it's become who sounds like the bigger geek know-it-all.Read full review »

I listen weekly but didn’t give a high star review. The host clearly has a crush on Dave Meltzer and a very high opinion of himself. But keep up the work.

Like all the fantastic podcasts on the Arcadian Vanguard podcast network this podcast does what it’s says on the tin - it sticks to classic wrestling and it’s the most enjoyable hour of the week. Keep up the wicked goodness, John.

So first show I ever listened to was the ECW Cyberslam 96 episode. I never heard this show covered on any other podcast so I was excited to listen. Boy was I disappointed. The show was just basically some fan talking about going to a few ECW shows back in the day & barely anything on...Read full review »

John, the guests have been incredibly subpar as of late. Your show’s brand is the nerdy but smart old school nostalgia podcast. When you have a run of guests who don’t know anything, whether it’s a photographer who only remembers Killer Kowalski or this week’s gimmick, the comedian who knows...Read full review »

Lots of fun, plenty of special guests, and always great topics for discussion.

Just a few questions. Why do you spend most of the show trying to convince us that you are a wrestling genius? Are you that insecure? Please stick to wrestling not John Mcadams knows it all.

Outstanding perspective from a true wrestling scholar. Especially good for the focus on old territories like Florida. Only complaint — wish the episodes were longer. Great work.

Every single episode of this podcast is a must listen. John never takes himself seriously and this lifelong easterner waxes poetically on his love of old school wrestling. The hour flies by & feels more like 15 minutes.

John never pooped on my lawn.

It’s torture. Stop it. Sometimes I can’t get to the 30 sec FF button, why are you punishing me for it? Otherwise, great stuff.
Rod Yorke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/21
Was fine for the first few listens, same topics and subjects that have been covered countless times on countless other podcasts. Dry and bland and a waste of download space.

Always a pleasure! One of my favorites.
Good Old Justin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/20
I just started listening yesterday and am hooked! I love all the 80’s content my favorite time of wrestling
nickyt727 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/20
Always a good listen, like the focused format of the show and actually am really enjoying the revolving door of voices in the co-host chair. Only complaint is that sometimes you can tell that not a lot of prep went in some weeks (like the “let’s look at the random results of a card from...Read full review »

A great weekly discussion on old school and some modern wrestling. Regular mail bags for listeners. Very good Facebook page.
David PB Ferguson via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/13/20
Love how John McAdam posts on Facebook how people criticize Lebron James and Alyssa Milano like people are trying to tell them how to think and what to say- and disables the comments section. When you also start criticizing people who attack others for wearing MAGA hats and stealing Trump signs...Read full review »

No one gives a crap about to political beliefs and your cheap shot at the president using a false liberal talking point was out of line. People listen to your show for wrestling.

Love the look back!!
Sailormsi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
A fun look at the past through video’s,magazines or just plain remembrances.I listen on my last hour of work on Saturday afternoons and it makes the time fly.
Chucker D via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/19
Great fun. I enjoy the history and discussion of wrestling history. Especially enjoy the Q&A episodes. Needs more Dean Ho.
Cerquitella via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/19
If you like solid classic pro wrestling talk, especially 70’s-80’s WWWF, Memphis and more, this is the show for you. John and Sean have great chemistry and the show just keeps getting better and better.
Hysterical 1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/19

Neily J via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/19

I don’t watch wrestling anymore,but I find myself devouring classic wrestling podcasts. This is my favorite. Just good conversation on a given topic. The one podcast on wrestling that I listen to ASAP. Great work.
Floyd Lawton 1968 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/18
Absolutely love the podcast and all the memories it brings back!!!
BigSteve82 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/20/18
Awesome, informative episode. TGBL joining the boys was an added bonus. Will be purchasing Tim Hornbaker's book, Death of the Territories. Keep it up.Read full review »

Love the show, especially the “What If” segments. John has a great memory and unique perspective on the wrestling from the 80s that hooked me as a fan.
LastBestHope424 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/18
There’s some really good bones here. Two knowledgeable guys talking about 80s/90s wrestling. It’s a bit like a sports radio show but with far better historical depth and analysis. Not just “hot takes.” The episode flew by.
