Stop whining
Used to be fun but y’all cry a lot now.

Totally disrespectful to Hulk Hogan. These 2 losers making fun before Hulk’s body turned cold. I Have listened for years, but lost me today. Be better.

One of the best...
But how can any wrestling fan NOT want to see Brock Lesnar return for another run. That's insanity to me.

One of the best wrestling podcasts

A dreadful listen
Been a fan on and off for 10 years and I've just had enough. These 2 guys hate their jobs which consists of eating fast food and watching pro wrestling. They will take any chance they can to complain about having to watch a show or how long a show is. It's clear they're essentially forced to do this because if not they have no other options and would have to get real jobs that prevent them for sleeping In until 11am while they're in their 50's. What I mentioned above combined with their morally inconsistent liberal views they need to shoehorn at every chance to appear as "good guys" has just gotten to be enough. When you claim someone who sides with an incredibly dangerous ideology as being "on the right side of history" you're just too far gone. There's so many wrestling podcasts out there being done with passion and care by people who like wrestling. So skip this one ran by two 98'ers that turned to wrestling when they were laid off by Machinima. RIP The Enforcer.

Decent Show
Some good analysis and always fresh (almost daily) episode drops. Which I like. Bad- lots of commercials (which is annoying) + at times seems like lots of inside jokes btw 2 buddies. It’s tolerable mostly.

Hands down THE best Wrestling podcast on the market!
I’ve always followed WWE but I really started to get back into watching it weekly in the summer of 2023 when the transition of power (HHH/Vince) was going on. I had the opportunity to go to SummerSlam that year in Detroit so I started looking around to all wrestling Podcasts to find the best one for me.
For two straight years I’ve dedicated listening to Going in Raw anytime they’ve dropped an episode. I still find myself from time to time trying other podcasts when major things are happening in the Wrestling world as I do want to hear other opinions. Leading up to this past WrestleMania 41 event, I listened to as many podcasts, interviews, etc that I could and Going in Raw absolutely goes over all of them.
Steve and Larson have the best chemistry together, which being best friends helps. Love how the recaps of the Raw/Smackdowns start with the major events then dive into the entire show somewhat chronologically. There’s also fluidity while they talk and explain things. Also love when Steve does the persona voiceovers.
I should have done it two years ago, but I will absolutely sign up for a Friendo club membership and start taking part on the monthly predictions challenge.
My one hope for Steve and Larson is that they branch out to the major PLEs, when possible, and try doing a live show on location. I think they have enough support that it can happen.
Keep it up guys! You two are amazing.

The best wrestling podcast
This is the first wrestling podcast I’ve ever listened to and it’s the best out there. Steve and Larson know their wrestling and they are just down to earth. Sometimes I feel like they joke too much to point where their jokes get stuck in my head when I see a wrestler or listen to a theme song or see a finishing move. But it’s all good bc again they are down to earth so I don’t want them to change. Continue doing amazing things. I’ll continue listening.

Joy to Listen
Steve and Larson are highlights of my week! Their positivity towards wrestling and life is such a breath of fresh air. I also love the way they communicate so well and respectful with each other. It’s refreshing to hear two humans speak to each other the way they do. Healthy communicators and optimistic perspectives make it such a joy to listen to each week. Thank you!

Marks that lack insight
Just two marks being marks.

Great show!
I marked out for “Wolfmans” got nards” 5 stars, gentlemen.
Sitswithabeer
Great show if only
As with most things in America now, politics ruins what is otherwise a stellar show. Having to listen to the constant bashing of any wrestler who leans right gets old real quick. I couldn’t care less about either side but I’m not here to listen to you all refuse to talk about someone because of their beliefs.

Narrative Driven Show
This show is great for narratives and character development discussions. They often slip into click bait conversations. They have little interest for in-ring action outside of story angles which is a let down. The lack of focus on in-ring quality makes their AEW coverage very negative and unlistenable.

Best Wrestling Podcast
I’ve been listening to Going in raw(you guys should change the name) for about 8 years now, maybe longer. These two have such great chemistry and balance, Larson being more of a critic of the product and Steve bringing more camera/audio charisma as well as eccentricity. They’ve got great minds for any fan of the business to listen to

Hella good
My go to podcast for wrestling content. Sending love to the fellow Sac town boys from SF
Char_vict
Oooooooooh maaaan! (In JR voice)
My favorite podcast to listen to for my wrestling news. Steve and Larson make the reviews so entertaining that I don’t even need to watch the actual wrestling shows. I don’t ever have time or make time to watch anyways due to work but that’s why I got Going In Raw 👍🏽👍🏽.

Gahhhh dam it pal
For months I thought Steve was Larson and Larson was Steve. Finally caught a YouTube video and my brain felt broken.
Oh and a great wrestling podcast! Funny, positive, and informative. Passable accents, but always an enjoyable listen!
Best $0 in the business.

Acknowledge this Podcast!
I listen to multiple wrestling podcasts, and Going in Raw is by far the best! SteveandLarson are the best tag team in wrestling! Thought provoking questions, great reviews and news updates, and hilarious impressions! I could listen to “Vince” and “Triple H” every podcast.

Guaranteed peed on
By far my most listened to podcast of all time and I have never gotten bored of it

Awful
Just bad. Nothing more to say 🤷🏻♂️

Infectious camaraderie.
Best wrestling podcast there is! Bad Pearl Jam takes though. 🤣

Fantastic guests
I love the show, can’t believe all the people criticizing the celebs (and impersonators) they get. If you have access to the Ed Man, you have him do a prerecorded ad read. Love when Triple H calls in; and to think some people turn it off when the game takes time out of his schedule to preview SD and Raw.

Love the show, hate the impressions
Love this show. I don’t always agree with what is said but it makes me think deeper about wrestling. I do hate the end of show impressions. I turn it off as soon as they start.

I’m out
I’ve been a fan of this show for years. They were providing great content daily, and as someone who spent alot of time driving, I needed the wrestling shows broken down with fantastic detail! But lately, Steve’s complete inability to let things go, mainly his impressions of la knight, and the other terrible Jim Ross and stone cold, have turned me off of the show so much. His terrible outbursts of “yeah!!” Randomly, not when talking about LA Knight, just annoy me to no end. Hopefully one day, he can stop laughing at all his own jokes all the time, and get back to the grounded show this used to be. The in jokes used to be funny, but he just can’t let them go, and it’s ruined the show for me completely. So long friendos, this is where I get off.

No more NXT 😢
Lost a star for no more NXT review. NXT is my favorite show and loved hearing your guys thoughts on it. You’ll get that star back if the NXT review comes back. Of course I’ll still listen because you guys rock. Hope you change your mind of that soon! NXT NXT NXT

Positivity first
I’ve been following for the last 8 years and I love these two friendos. They always make sure to bring the positivity of the wrestling world, but also not afraid to call something out as terrible. Always trying to make sense of decisions made and always focusing on growing their community. If you wanna feel like you belong and have positivity, these two are your friendos to listen to.

My Go-To Podcast
This has quickly become one of my favorite wrestling podcasts! They recap episodes without it becoming tedious, have hot takes without being trollish, and cover rumors and dirtsheets with a careful eye. Not grindingly negative, not gratingly positive, just a good, fun, well-balanced look at what’s going on in the world of wrestling.

Love this so much!!
Recently started listening to this and it’s easily my favorite wrestling podcast. Their conversation flows so easily and they’re fun to listen to. I don’t even watch AEW (I know enough about the storylines from stuff I read on Twitter) but I even like their AEW recaps

A Podcast I listen to almost every day
This is one of those wrestling podcasts that makes you feel like you’re just in a room with your best buddies, talking about current news and catching up on your favorite promotion. Conversation is smooth and easy for me to put on in the background, and still pay attention to while I’m doing dishes, cleaning my house, or even driving in my car.
Both Steve and Larson are also incredibly clever and making me laugh from time to time which I look for in a podcast great job, and I would recommend to anyone looking for a new podcast aside from the 50 other ones with a former wrestler/booker complaining about stuff in the past that doesn’t matter. 5 Stars

Wrestling fans are the lowest form of scum
We all know it’s fake, yet you morons harp about wins and losses….and who can fake fight better than another fake fighter. Losers.
WillviciousMyrtleBeach
Love it
I pretend in my head that I’m there with you guys. Y’all are the only people I can speculate on what I think is going to happen on each wrestling show you review. I get excited when we are right! That is, when I agree with what you predict, but I love your reaction to what happens whether you predict it, or I do, or WE do! It feels good when WE get it right. I laugh every time I listen. I love the show. I love both of your opinions and the off the wall hopes you have for different wrestlers stories and futures. Keep up the good work! #These guys exist. #These guys can talk, #This is better than silence. #Sometimes.

The prefect podcast.
My absolute favorite wrestling podcast. I never miss an episode. These guys bring a different perspective to wrestling, are very insightful, and are some goofballs when you need it. They have incredible chemistry and just make time fly by. They are incredible. 5 stars no doubt.

Love this show
I just start listening, and they absolutely rock.
My favorite podcast and I’ve been listening to wrestling podcast for over 15 years.
Really enjoy this show

Cheering them on
I guess cheering on Jeff Hardy for "cleverly" getting out of his WWE contract by refusing to go to rehab doesn't seem as awesome now does it.
Buzzion
Too many ads.
Jfc this used to be a awesome podcast but now it’s a full on infomercial.

Glad I Found You
I was turned on to Steve & Larson by the crew at WrestleTalk about a year ago. I am so glad I found this podcast and the YouTube channel. Always entertaining and informative. Plus your perspectives are similar to mine since we’re all the same age. I’ll be a loyal Friendo until you guys decide to Future Endeavor yourselves.
