Considering dropping Progressive!
I’ve never once listened to this podcast, and I can’t stand its obnoxious Progressive ad repeating in quick succession on a podcast that I do listen to.

Getting bad
I hate to write this, but it’s getting rough. JR constantly repeats himself. He talks a lot but doesn’t say anything. Old episodes are fine, anything new isn’t worth the listen.

Thank you.
Love every episode. Life long wrestling fan and JR is the voice of my generation. Appreciate all you have done. Thank you.

It’s Just Sad…
Jim Ross is an iconic wrestling announcer, but this podcast is just sad all the way around. There’s no reason to point out specifics, as it was painful enough to listen to, let alone taking any more time out of my life to recap all that’s wrong with this podcast.

Jim Ross is pathetic
Jim Ross is borderline incoherent, but at least Conrad is entertaining, so I listened to the show on occasion, but his pathetic fabricated story about Sunny trying to move in with him and offering to “take care of him in the bedroom” is such a pathetic lie that I can’t justify listening anymore. She’s in jail, her life is a mess, but fabricating a story like that is beyond repulsive. What an absolute joke. Every single person who knows either of you and heard that nonsense is laughing at how lame you are. Jesus. Your dead wife is ashamed of you.

Bruce Lies JR Tries
I love this show for two reasons one I think JR is very straightforward in he feels about the business. But sometimes I feel like there’s not a lot of chemistry with JR and Conrad Thompson. I think Conrad is just winging it. I don’t think he cares too much about JR for some reason you can tell through their exchange that they’re doing it for work, not for enjoyment.

Always good
I listen whenever I get the chance, and go back through the archives also. You gotta love Conrad and Good Ole JR!

Ole jr is your typical whinny liberal
Yeah jr how’s your boy brandon doing? FJB and FJR. Trump 2024 jackass.
this show used to be good
Unlistenable
Please hang it up. Virtually unlistenable with the banging of the microphone against something (?). Once I got past the ads on the first episode, I counted 6 microphone “hits” within the first :30 so I turned it off. Thanks for the memories JR but it’s time to ride off into the sunset.

Used to be better
Past several months have only been about current AEW stuff. His best shows are about old NWA, WCW, WWF and Mid South

Stop talking about AEW
Nobody is tuning in to listen to you talk about AEW. I understand that they are your employer. Nobody cares! The episodes that have already been covered by Bruce aren’t half as good. I like Jim, but the fact is he has no insight to WWE Maybe do some more NWA or WCW episodes.

Thank you Jim
Thanks for JR (and Conrad of course) for this weekly podcast. Ive been listening for probably the past 4 years. I think i discovered it around the same time i found Something to Wrestle and 83 Weeks during covid. It does wonders for my mental health and anxiety. I work night shift so i dont get to talk and socialize as much as id like to, but listening to this podcast as well as the other makes me feel less alone sometimes and that im just hanging out with JR and Conrad just shooting the breeze about classic wrestling. I hope this podcast is around for many more years to come, thanks again guys.

Commercials
Great stories of old school wrestling, and I love hearing them when they actually talk. For every hour show there are about 40 minutes of commercials that appear out of nowhere, sometimes right in the middle of JR talking.

What?
Quit talking about AEW. Nobody is watching that garbage
Juice Meister
Bitter
JR is a prideful (not in a good way) and bitter old man. He’s the definition of daddy issues. He depresses me… he was one of the very best to ever do it in his chosen profession… he experienced a great marriage to his late wife… yet, he carries himself like a sad little boy.
Nick_Farrior51
Embarrassing
JR is more confused than Donald Trump from too many chair shots to his fat head, and Conrad is an embarrassing shill for AEW nonsense. Even Tony knows better than to return JR to his television shows. Who has an announcer when we can’t understand anything he says?

Love JR
Been listening since episode 1 and I just wanted to thank you guys for helping me through many sleepless nights and long car rides for work. This podcast calls my nerves and anxiety and for that , I can’t thank you guys enough. 1 request if i could… more studio session throwback episodes, I love that old media. Thanks JR and thanks Conrad, Happy Easter gentlemen!

Go back there stay I lost my wife a lot of people have lost spouses What about the ones you cheated on ???? Talk NWA wrestling. Your WWE. Days u were over the hill. U don’t know everything.

Show is awful. Doom and gloom
If you want to hear about how bad JR’s life is now, please listen and he’ll tell ya. JR rambles on and on and often forget the question he was asked. JR constantly either fidgets with something or his dentures are not secured within him mouth and there’s a very loud audible distracting noise while he talks. JR has become an old man who yells at the crowd and thinks he still has ‘it’ but he’s sadly mistaken.

Poor Ad/Show Balance
Feels like I’m mostly listening to ads. I like hearing from JR and I like to hear how he’s been doing, but I feel like I’m really only hearing them talk for about 15 minutes in between all of the ad reads.
BabyBreaker
Awesome every time
Love the show, keep up the great work JR & Conrad.

Classic
If you like hearing about the territory days, pre-Hogan WCW, unvarnished opinions on modern wrestling, you’ll like this podcast. JR puts over AEW (it’s his employer, so of course), but he has no problem criticizing the talent when they do something stupid or think they’re above experienced advice. Love hearing the stories.
Makes No Sense
Brah. The ads…
I love Jim Ross and like all the wrestling podcasts done by Thompson, it’s getting to the point where the commercials interrupt the flow and make it very difficult to listen to. It’s like Ricky Bobby covering his windshield with a giant fig newton ad…. It’s too much. He wants everyone to get sick of it and pay for ad free shows.
Halfman!
Too many ads.
Love JR. Want to give him a hug.

Ads Ads Ads
My complaint is how the ads are spread out. JR might be in the middle of a sentence and just cuts to an ad. You want to use the sponsors of the show, but I tend to avoid the companies because I find the ads and the placement very annoying not to mention, garbage products.

WWE Developmental
The latest episode on WWE Developmental was a good one. Really enjoyed it.
Ryan Lucchesi
Not sure anymore
Love JR and Connie but the constant ads combined with JR phoning it in every show as well as at least one megasode per month kinda show where the podcast empire is these days. The only one who seems like he cares anymore is Eric.
Bryce Goddard
Interesting
Real fun and interesting show hearing some behind the scene stories from good ol JR

Used to be enjoyable
This pod used to be super enjoyable but with Paul’s mediocrity and zero charisma now hosting, combined with JR’s griping, it has made this show a weekly skip
Chris Campy 5
Love this pod!
JR does a great job on this show.

Wrestling stories from someone who lived it
Jim Ross, the man behind the mic, has been in wrestling forever and the podcast proves it. Hundreds or amazing stories from a guy who knows the business like the inside of his signature cowboy hat. Grab a bottle of BBQ sauce and let’s grill JR!
Download, listen and enjoy!!

Great
Very entertaining. Current/past wrestling info.

Can’t stand the constant complaining
Maybe he thinks it’s entertaining but JR’s constant griping isn’t enjoyable.

Too many adds ruined a home run
Huge JR fan But too much is too much. Even if you gave this 5 stars would you be happy with an hour of solid commercials and hidden somewhere in the middle is five minutes of a JR story? I know people gotta eat but ads prevent me from listening.

Finally
Finally a episode of Grilling JR without Paul Bromwell. Thank You Lord!

Bischoff + JR = Gold
Conrad please do more of these episodes. Having both of these guys share similar experiences is top notch. Truly the best episode from the kingdom.

Skipping this week
Oh no, Paul is the cohost again this week. See you when Conrad comes back.

Ehhh
I really used to enjoy the show but Jr has turned into a grouchy person who can’t go an episode without mentioning something political. I don’t even bothering listening if Paul is a cohost.
hoyt man 1
Paul is the worst.
This is a 5 star show with Conrad and JR. But the show with Paul is unbearable. Even JR sounds annoyed with him most of the time. Please find a better fill in for Conrad please!
BIG💶
Not a fan of Paul
Nothing personal against Paul, I know he helps Conrad out with a lot of things, and that is great, but in my opinion guest hosting should not be one of them. When I see Paul's name listed as the host in the description, I skip that episode. The show is very difficult to get through when he hosts so I have just given up trying. Conrad,, I know you have 856 shows a week going on (I love them all) and it's hard to be on all of them every single week. I'd rather just miss a week than have to listen to Paul. I appreciate everything Paul and others do for all the shows that we the listeners do not see but please, if a new show is not possible, just repost an old Ask JR or something, or maybe let JR freestyle the way he did on his old podcast. Love the show, just not crazy about the guest host.

AWESOME
Thank you Conrad & JR for giving us a great show every week! Paul when you get tagged in you do a great job! Every cry baby that keeps complaining about “SOOOO MANY ADS” there’s this thing called “Ad Free Shows”
Keep Up The Great Work!!!!
UWEFUEL
Please stop
If Conrad isn't available stop using the other guy. I've given him a shot twice and had to turn it off both times. He's unbearable.

More ads than actual show
The first 6 minutes of the show I listened to was ads. Then they plugged a live show they were going to do in the future for several minutes. Next they spoke about the actual topic for about 5 minutes and then they went into the ads again.

I listen for Conrad too
Conrad and JR have the chemistry that makes the show work. I’ve tried listening to many shows with Paul hosting and it just doesn’t work for me. I remove the download and mark as played each episode Paul hosts. Paul is “channel changer jones” for me.

So. Many. Ads.
Jesus Christ the ads are never ending!!! The podcast is good but my God the ads never end.
