I mean this with utmost respect and admiration…this is the greatest background podcast in the history of mankind. Join in mid convo with Brian and his guest, bounce out and come back to the convo and you’re still engaged!!

Abba Zabba Dabba Doo · Sep 2026

This awesome podcast is unlike any other. Anchored by the vast knowledge of host and author Brian Solomon the show provides insights from wrestlers, interviews, inside stories, and, uniquely, conversations with wrestlers now grown children. This podcast providing fascinating insights, vantage points, and has a very welcoming tone. If there was a Cheers for wrestling fans, this show would be it.

Lucha Kaiju · Aug 2023

Editing my original review. After the first batch of episodes, audio quality/production is great, as usual for Arcadian Vanguard. I wasn’t so sure I would give a hoot about hearing from Brian’s officemates, but I do. So, to rewrite a line from a sister show, this is the wrestling podcast you didn’t think you’d enjoy.

Good interviewer who does his research and has a variety of interesting guests.
