What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Never been to Cleveland but thanks to this podcast, I want to go just to attend an AIW show. John and the AIW roster are great and all wrestling fans should subscribe and listen. Shoutout the Rip City Shooters! 🤙🏽

Mendoziac11 · Apr 2020

This show is top notch. New shows every week and a great listen. Always have good guests and John Thorne is the best promoter in the game. The moderator of sorts is pretty great as well. Need more WORLDWIDE on the show again lately though.

DirtRon · Apr 2020

Fun podcast detailing the happenings that go on in the ring and behind the scenes at Cleveland, Ohio’s AIW. Company owner John Thorne, moderator Steve Guy, and a rotating panel of the AIW roster members make this a must listen to show every week.

Whole Reffin' Show · Feb 2020

I started subscribing a little over a year ago. It’s a podcast that makes you feel like you’re listening to friends and gives you an idea of what it’s like to run a wrestling company in the Midwest. Great listen. Honest and transparent.

Jgold012 · Dec 2018

The AIW podcast is one of the funniest and most informative wrestling podcasts out there. I’m a huge fan of their promotion, watch as many of the shows as I can and drive up at least once a year. It was a brilliant move on their end to open up and tell stories of what it’s like to run a real deal indie wrestling promotion in the Midwest.
