Isn't that why we all read? Mar 07, Charissa marked it as to-read.

ABOUT THIS PODCAST
Hosts Jon and Doug have an obvious camaraderie and play off of each other well, allowing the generous 1. Indeed, the hosts take the opposite approach and are diligent in dispelling unsubstantiated rumors which they find particularly egregious. Additionally, they make a concerted effort to cover the events and news from all major wrestling promotions, not just WWE. Simply put, this is one of few pods that I consider a must-listen on a weekly basis.
