    Dishonest “Journalist” Marks
    Two people that think way more highly of themselves than they actually are. You cover a fake sport like it’s real. You highjack news conferences of a fake sport to ask questions just to get yourself over with the rest of your fake journalist buddies. They couldn’t care any less about the performers or the actual product they cover, when it comes to the WWE. I guarantee all the stuff they pull with the WWE, they’d never pull on AEW or their god, Tony Khan. They’re lucky someone like Dana White isn’t at these pressers. Don’t listen to this, go listen to shows that have actual wrestlers, that actually know the sport, and not MARKS.

    On the next Janel Grant podcast
    Let’s go back to the basics on what this podcast was created for. Numbers, ratings, and economic data.

    REALLY APPRECIATE THE ANALYSIS
    Show does a great job giving you value for a subscription. The analysis is top notch and it really is different than other podcasts out there. However, this show works best when it’s just Brandon and Gullo. Jesse really drags down vibe of the show. Not only is his criticism often wildly negative (usually just for the sake of being contrarian), but it often comes at the expense of his fellow co-hosts as he’ll often eat up a bulk of the run time (there are some episodes we barely hear a peep out of Gullo). I’m still giving this show 5 stars because of the incredible hard work and consistency that the podcast has built over time. And there’s been some incredible collaborations with POST Wrestling that feel way more incredibly on-brand and insightful.

    Lose this guy he’s not a draw!
    I like this podcast , but I don’t think I will continue to listen. This guy Jesse is so smug, and he never stops talking! Why did you allow this to occur Brandon? He’s essentially drowned out Gulub. Jesse also admits that he doesn’t know about a subject yet speaks like an expert nonetheless.

    Please get new microphones
    This is a great show, but everyone sounds like they’re talking through a tin can. You can hear everyone breathing in, moving their microphones, and even background sounds like babies crying. I really do like the content so I stick with it but please invest in better equipment!

    Excellent analysis
    Brandon gives the most thorough breakdown of the actual business of Pro Wrestling available today beyond just the tv ratings. A must-listen for anyone interested in investing in WWE or any wrestling-related public companies.

    A great podcast for all pro wrestling and sports business fans

    Unique and Insightful
    Mookie and Brandon do a terrific job covering major wrestling news in ways that no one else does, especially in podcast form. This is not the show to listen to if you’re looking for the generic “WWE sucks” takes that you can get on virtually every other wrestling podcast in the flooded market right now. Instead, you’ll get reasoned analysis about things like house show crowds, Network subscriptions, the general financial state of the company, etc. Plus they talk about ACTUAL wrestling, too. It’s a must-listen for me every week along with a few other shows. I consume a lot of wrestling podcasts but Wrestlenomics gives me the most new information every week. Keep up the great work.
