Ram4750 · May 2026

I am a huge AEW fan for better or worse that doesn’t listen to your show very often. I find myself checking in to see if you have any weekly views on AEW that are not all negative. I thought it was great that you watched and realized the positive change to the season premiere of Dynamite. And the US Express interview was amazing. This was the first episode in a long time that I listened to from start to finish. Will continue to check in for your hopeful fair thoughts on AEW.

I listen to a lot of wrestling podcasts and I have to say you guys really caught lightening in a bottle with Ben, Khal and Brian H Waters. I love listening to Wednesday worldwide. It’s entertaining and informative. It’s like having a really good wrestling conversation with friends. Keep up the good work. You have a fan/listener for life 🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎

Queen P.R. · Sep 2023

I’m turning 40 years old this year and as an Attitude Era shill I can’t honestly remember watching any wrestling after 2002. Recently, once Peacock gained the completely WWE catalog I started watching every Raw, Heat, Smackdown and PPV starting from 1995. My parents never bought a PPV so they’re technically all new to me. Because I started to rewatch what I can remember, I started to dabble in the current product, especially once Vince left for that moment, because I felt like there was hope for something better. Now dabbling is mostly watching PLEs and the whole point of me writing this up, listening to the Ringer Wrestling Podcasts. While I don’t watch 99% of weekly shows I do listen to all five shows the Ringer has to offer. I love listening to actual friends talk about what they love, and because I had a past with wrestling I have some sort of weird connections with these guys. They’re all informed, funny and just love talking about wrestling…and bagels. Anyways, thanks and keep it rolling, for someone like me that barely watches the product and depends on you all to be my storytellers, the entertainment is appreciated.

Sil3ntH · May 2023

i like to hear the reactions and opinions of pro-wrestling but this one really lands flat. Kaz’ jokes fail to amuse, in particular one in a recent episode about the lack of care in the women’s division and his response “well women belong in the kitchen right” Gross. i’ll give the benefit that it was meant to be sarcastic but it fell flat and with no follow up just reinforces that he doesn’t give an eff about women’s wrestling so as a women who loves wrestling, not the content for me.

I_digress_x · Jul 2026

This show used to be a must-listen every week (then twice a week). Shoemaker is still great, Kaz was once very good but is now such an unrepentant WWE shill that the show is unlistenable. Going up for the mid, so critical of AEW. Sad to depart the first wrestling podcast that I really connected with, but not all relationships are meant to last.
