“-1 star because they carry Jumping Bomb Audio Podcast on their feed
VoW is, in my opinion, one of the more reputable wrestling websites when it comes to stories and recaps - but my goodness the knuckleheads VoW have put in charge to host their Joshi content are unlistenable. I question how much they actually watch Joshi wrestling outside of buzzworthy matches, ChocoPro, and Diana (of all promotions?!?).
Diana is fine and all but I think like 3 matches made one of their hosts top 10 moty - silliness. I understand watching the lesser known companies to build some sort of credibility but 3 top 10 MOTY candidates for Diana shows the complete lack of care in actually covering the scene while focusing just on ‘my favorite promotion you never heard of.’ Hipster punditry and it’s not even done well.
Additionally, the podcast drops roughly every two weeks where they admit they don’t watch parts of shows they’re recapping and make unfounded claims with no proof such as ‘Bushiroad is looking to sell Stardom’. This seems to be their M.O. as they make other ridiculous claims on their AEW podcast except there’s at least someone there to fact check them on their nonsense.
This type of lack of willingness to learn about what’s actually happening in Joshi while providing absurd takes with no merit would be fine for a fan-made podcast but not for the VoW website. Not what I’ve come to expect from the quality of VoW over the last year. I hope whomever is in charge looks at this show and shakes up the hosts - complete disservice to the fanbases of these promotions, wrestlers within these promotions and any fans who may be interested in learning more about Joshi.
Much better content out there via google search - do not waste your time.”
