Thanks for JR (and Conrad of course) for this weekly podcast. Ive been listening for probably the past 4 years. I think i discovered it around the same time i found Something to Wrestle and 83 Weeks during covid. It does wonders for my mental health and anxiety. I work night shift so i dont get to talk and socialize as much as id like to, but listening to this podcast as well as the other makes me feel less alone sometimes and that im just hanging out with JR and Conrad just shooting the breeze about classic wrestling. I hope this podcast is around for many more years to come, thanks again guys.

Been listening since episode 1 and I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me through many sleepless nights and long car rides for work. This podcast calls my nerves and anxiety and for that , I can’t thank you guys enough. 1 request if i could… more studio session throwback episodes, I love that old media. Thanks JR and thanks Conrad, Happy Easter gentlemen!

If you like hearing about the territory days, pre-Hogan WCW, unvarnished opinions on modern wrestling, you’ll like this podcast. JR puts over AEW (it’s his employer, so of course), but he has no problem criticizing the talent when they do something stupid or think they’re above experienced advice. Love hearing the stories.
Makes No Sense · Jul 2023
This podcast is a solid listen for those that love wrestling and JR. JR has a pretty unbiased recall in most instances and gives pretty honest assessments of events of the past. Where I get lost is when they’ll start the podcast off and JR goes off on people who criticize him online, sometimes fairly. JR comes across as bitter and resentful. And I get it, wrestling fans online are the absolute WORST. But we all know that, so why pay it any attention? Also, JR is extremely horny and is not shy about it, so that’s always awkward and weird, but other than that, love JR and you could just listen to him talk forever.

Great stories of old school wrestling, and I love hearing them when they actually talk. For every hour show there are about 40 minutes of commercials that appear out of nowhere, sometimes right in the middle of JR talking.
Dirt_McGirt77 · Sep 2024
I love Jim Ross and like all the wrestling podcasts done by Thompson, it’s getting to the point where the commercials interrupt the flow and make it very difficult to listen to. It’s like Ricky Bobby covering his windshield with a giant fig newton ad…. It’s too much. He wants everyone to get sick of it and pay for ad free shows.
