“When I first started listening to Wrestling Soup in 2015 I hated it, I thought both hosts were negative all the time, I thought they had terrible opinions, and they occasionally said some really messed up things. I kept listening because a 2.5 hour podcast was a blessing, but also because the two hosts had great chemistry, were funny more often than offensive (although sometimes both) and often backed up their opinions and defended them solidly.
If you’re looking for a play by play objective analysis of wrestling and the industry, then that’s not what you’ll find here.
Wrestling Soup isn’t a wrestling podcast. It’s “a podcast about two guys who happen to talk about wrestling.” And maybe that’s part of where they got the name from? Because soup is a mixture of things while having it’s base.
So in addition to the ‘base’ of wrestling, you’ll also get a mixture of current events, social media as it relates to wrestling, their personal lives, etc., and this is where the magic of Wrestling Soup is, it’s perspective.
Neither host professes to be a “big name” in the industry, and neither tries to present their opinions as more “valid.” Listening to Wrestling Soup is like listening to a couple of your friends talk about wrestling. And if you’re lucky enough to be able to listen live, then you can interact with them while they’re on the show, and that’s always awesome.
So you’re going to get off the cuff conversation, you’re going to get crass humor, you’re going to get shows where they analyze the current week in wrestling in extreme detail, and then you’ll get shows where they review pornos of wrestlers.
You have Anthony “Missionary” Thomas, a well read, blue collar guy I’d describe as generally optimistic, with a radio background.
And then Joey Numbas, whose opinions are informed by the time he’s spent in the industry working as a referee. He’s generally seen as the negative one, but he’s probably more jaded due to his background.
They also have incredible chemistry with one another, although these aren’t the only qualities these 2 bring to the table. So give the show a chance, but know what you’re getting when you listen.
Authenticity, above all.
(They also have a Patreon and have done approximately 90 episodes as of now during the Covid-19 lockdown to help people at home pass the time, so they really care about their fans and they offer a ton a content for the price.)”

“Wrestling Soup is a great podcast, probably my favorite on Itunes. The show is funny and often times insightful. Although be warned that a lot of the comedy could be considered offencsive, but if you like that kind of comedy you'll love this show. It is also a community as much as a show so...”Read full review »
