A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I absolutely love the deep dives, the nostalgia, the humor, and the stories. The early years of something to wrestle with were elite, and JBL is carving out his own body of extremely strong entertaining work in his time filling in for Bruce. Conrad has been a gift to wrestling fans. This, WHW, and My World are all on regular rotation for me.

Before the endless adds and the “WWE approval” filter was added upon Bruce’s return to the company, this was a must listen podcast. It was two guys just shooting the stuff and genuinely enjoying their conversation about the weird and wild world of professional wrestling. Now it’s just 5 minutes of filler between 3 minutes of ads. I strongly recommend listening to the early episodes with the 30 second skip ready to go!

This podcast is five stars for so many reasons. Bruce is one of the most entertaining people you will ever listen to. On top of that, his memory of so many years of working at the WWF is incredible. You will find yourself going back and re-listening to old episodes.

I was an obsessed wrestling fan from the late 90s to around 2010, so I absolutely love the behind the scenes stories from that period and earlier. I absolutely love the eps with JBL. He’s got great stories, he’s funny, and just seems like an all around likable guy.
Not being too educated in the behind the scenes stuff, I wasn’t very familiar with Bruce Prichard until I watched unreal and started listening to this pod. Yikes, he feels like the opposite of JBL to me. Conrad will ask a question trying to draw out info and he’ll give a curt one word reply. I’ve already come across a few episodes where he throws hissy fits over anyone saying they have a closer relationship with Vince than he does. If you’re that much of a big deal and so tight with Vince, why whine about it for 15mins? Anyway, JBL eps I give 5/5, Bruce episodes I give 3/5 and that’s only because Conrad is great at keeping the questions coming.
Also the ads are pretty unpleasant. I don’t love how they’re worked into the show so they’re harder to skip through. I don’t need a 10m intro about mortgages.

Years ago I rated this podcast 5 stars. Here's an update from a longtime listener of Something to Wrestle.
I've been with the show since the first episode (as of 2026, 10 years.) I've gotten many hours of entertainment from it, and for that I'm thankful. Once Bruce returned to work at WWE, the quality (and frequency) of new episodes really took a hit. I dealt with it. It was still a show of free, great stories, even if so many episodes were "best ofs".
When Bruce Prichard took a hiatus from the show and JBL filled in for him, I took a break too. I can't stand JBL, so it was an easy decision.
Now that Bruce is back (late 2025-early 2026), the show has found its form again. His stories and insight in the business can't be topped.
However, both hosts political viewpoints have become more prominent both in the things they say, don't say, and the ads they choose to shill.
Speaking of ads, they are so intrusive and frequent, the show is almost unlistenable. I understand that Bruce and Conrad are in this to make money. I get it. But dang, back in the day, they sold blue pills and tee shirts (and Bruce would give you a call if you bought one!). Now it's an add every three minutes it seems like for every snake oil product out there.
l’ll still listen for the tales about the good ole days, but these guys will never see a dime from me as far as supporting advertisers or a predatory mortgage business.

I thought slurring drunk or opiate-filled Bruce was hard to tolerate, but I think amphetamine-loaded, animated Bruce might be worse! Never have I heard a person try SO hard and be SO amused by themselves. Good lord he’s hard to take. I can’t do it anymore.
