“After listening to this podcast for over a month and a half now, I’ve formed an opinion on this show. Are there a lot of ads? Yes. Do I hear the exact same ads 3-4 times a single episode? Yes. But I understand the hustle. What irritates me, and this may just be my opinion, is that a lot of this host’s takes on the product seem very dated and like he is holding on to the past instead of embracing some newer ideas going on within the show. He seems to see things as only black and white. And to me, that’s boring. The more varied and grey things are makes for more interesting angles, wrestling, and at the end of the day, entertainment. I agree with most of his takes on certain storylines, but when it comes to the “Entertainment” part of WWE’s name, he seems a bit clueless and comes across like an old man saying “back in my day”, but he’s only 30. For me at least, there are a lot of takes on this podcast that come across as questionable or leave me wondering, “did you completely miss the point?”. I respect him for forming this podcast and I agree with SOME of his takes. But overall he comes across as someone who refuses or is unable to look at WWE as entertainment as well as wrestling. The two go hand in hand. Especially when the product tries to adhere to audiences of all ages and not just the 30-40 year olds dwelling on the past (attitude era). WWE isn’t the same as it was back in the 90’s and even the 2000’s. And it probably won’t be moving forward. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. P.S. this dude seriously needs someone else on the show who disagrees with him on a lot of things. Because he says and spews a lot of bull crap without any rebuttal or someone to counter him. There are moments where I say out loud, “wow did he really just say that?” Or “did he not see this…” and no one is there to call him out on it”
