And if you’re lucky enough to be able to listen live, then you can interact with them while they’re on the show, and that’s always awesome. Neither host professes to be a “big name” in the industry, and neither tries to present their opinions as more “valid.” Listening to Wrestling Soup is like listening to a couple of your friends talk about wrestling. So in addition to the ‘base’ of wrestling, you’ll also get a mixture of current events, social media as it relates to wrestling, their personal lives, etc., and this is where the magic of Wrestling Soup is, it’s perspective. It’s “a podcast about two guys who happen to talk about wrestling.” And maybe that’s part of where they got the name from? Because soup is a mixture of things while having it’s base. Wrestling Soup isn’t a wrestling podcast. If you’re looking for a play by play objective analysis of wrestling and the industry, then that’s not what you’ll find here. I kept listening because a 2.5 hour podcast was a blessing, but also because the two hosts had great chemistry, were funny more often than offensive (although sometimes both) and often backed up their opinions and defended them solidly. When I first started listening to Wrestling Soup in 2015 I hated it, I thought both hosts were negative all the time, I thought they had terrible opinions, and they occasionally said some really messed up things. However, I’m done and I hope the host can get help to improve his overall outlook on things outside of wrestling because he’s a talented person who just needs to improve his ability to take alternative perspectives. This show was great once and Joe does his best. This is someone who has some weird tint to reality with shades of sexism and biased from hardships outside the show. Thank god people in chat actually call him on it or make corrections to stop what would ultimately be false narratives on the events that he didn’t care to read about.

The majority of insight from the host is made up on the spot and while also inventing sources for news. The man behind the production of the podcast is in bad shape and is weighing down the show to the point of being parody. Ultimately, the show is starting to fade into the occasional listen pile and I’m afraid it’s going the way of the Don Tony show. Unfortunately, that third voice has been in a bad way and wish that would change since he is a huge component to the show. Joey and John are the most humorous parts when they are able to work together.

I’d rather go find a more balanced show from people who aren’t as jaded, cynical, or bitter about professional wrestling and the great (but not perfect) fan service we’ve been getting lately.īeen listening for the last 6-7 years. However, after seeing a healthy mix of the professional wrestling I originally loved to watch return with a mix of new ideas and still hearing the same old cliche negative comments I’ve realized this show isn’t for me.Ĭheck them out maybe you enjoy listening to a couple of guys nit pick everything to death. I subscribed/followed a while ago when I agreed that a lot of wrestling was being poorly executed. There’s an audience for every podcast, and I’m sure there are probably many for this show…. It’s like they have an axe to grind or maybe they aren’t actually “fans” of wrestling who are being forced to review shows. There’s giving critique and then there’s this show where any negatives on a show (which every show will have) are given the highest possible attention and most spotlight and any possible positives are usually glossed over with minimal focus.

Not sure if it’s a gimmick or they’re just bitter or negative but it’s like listening to a Gilbert version of Jim Cornette.
