    Find one Wrestler you like and listen to the podcast. I promise once you're done, you'll want to go back to the beginning and listen to as many as you, just like I did.

    Best podcast and podcaster ever!

    Used to love it.....
    I used to love the Art of Wrestling. Every Thursday this was the bright spot in my day. Even when Colt abandonded the orignal theme for something not as good, it was still great compared to other podcasts. Then Colt went away and did other projects. Occasionally dropping a live show here or there. Now it's back (for a short run) BUT now apparently Colt turned into Conrad Thompson and there's an AD every 5 minutes!!! It's unlistenable now!

    Makes me feel good inside
    This has been one of my number ones through this pandemic. I’m a comic and through conversations and stories with Colt each episode, I’ve been enjoying hearing parallels to me trying to get on the road, just get over with what I’m trying to do, and just trying to keep working this thing I love. It feels great in that kinship sort of way to hear Colt, guys more famous, old timers and people I’m just starting to become a fan of talk about their journey, getting over with fans, not quite being used right by this promotion or that even when I’m doing a great job. It’s entertaining, fun, and the only thing better would have not had my own shows last time Colt was in my city so I couldn’t go, even if my pal Bret Hayden still got to be a part of things

    The Best Wrestling Podcast Starring a Wrestler
    I was a couple years late to the party on The Art of Wrestling. Now that it’s coming out irregularly, I’m starting to realize how much I miss it. Colt Cabana is arguably the best American comedy wrestler and his connections to the independent wrestling world have lead to some fascinating interviews and discussions. Hear interviews from today’s hottest wrestlers from back in the day.

    Numerous Cast Missing and Cut-Off. But LOVE It.
    Not sure if it’s an iPhone thing or I’m doing something wrong, but using the podcast button on my iPhone and a lot of cast are missing, and I’ve had a couple just get cut-off. Just recently Drew McIntyre*. But other then that LOVE the podcast.

    I'm still trying to get use to the new format that started a while back but I do like the show.
  • AKhoneybucket
    As good as it gets
    Colt is a great orator and has really good instincts of what's interesting. Excellent roster of guests. Well worth your time to listen to this podcast if you're a serious wrestling fan.

    This is the first time I’m listening to your podcast. The first podcast that I hear from you it is the trial I didn’t know that this trial happen at all, I was a few years a way away from the wrestling news and started to catch up with the industry. Love the way that you chronicle your adventures at the courthouse I used to go a lot to the court and yes they had ask feeling bad the butterflies in the stomach you feel all that and more so good luck to you and hope to hear more podcast from you.

    Colt cabana is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Colt is considered by many of his peers to be the OG of wrestling podcasts. Colt’s show has changed over time, but it continues to be an exciting look into some of the daily routines, struggles and fun of the world of pro wrestling. The show has many guests from the independent pro wrestling scene; Colt talks about the traveling, aches/pains and some of the silly stuff these men and women encounter on their journeys. Any pro wrestling fan would enjoy this and I think non pro wrestling fans will be fascinated by the way these performers go about their lives. Give it a listen. Thanksssss....
  • ajsansstyles
    One of my favorite podcasts
    Great insight in the word of independent wrestling. It’s like a podumentray, or a docucastery
  • Van from Raleigh
    Love the show!!
    Best real wrestling podcast out there! Thanksss!

    BOOM BOOM!
    Longtime fan of both Colt and the podcast, and absolutely loving the new format. Love it when hometown heroes the Briscoes make an appearance as well. Next time you see them, ask them about their nicknames - Chicken & Poop. They used to shop at a Gamestop I worked at & my old boss Ben R. grew up with them.

    Go back to the old format.
    Please go back to the old format.

    The GOAT of podcasts
    Been listening since the beginning! 8 years later and Colts still entertains as he always had! I was very nervous the when the podcast changed format but it’s still the best!

    Boom boom
    This is the best pod cast period. Colt knows his audience and how to adapt his show. Can’t wait for Thursday’s thanks Colt.
  • tallclint
    Thanks
    I really like this show. I’ve been listening for a few years now. The in depth interviews were great and going forward I’ve really enjoyed the “A Day in the Life” approach and presentation. Colt Cabana and his podcast are why I know about Indy Wrestling. And he was nice to me at a show. 👍

    My Favorite Wrestling Podcast
    Over a year ago, I started getting back into professional wrestling. Somehow, I stumbled upon The Art of Wrestling. I was instantly drawn in, and I credit this podcast for my rekindled love of wrestling. The road stories, quick backstage interviews and overall insight into the wrestling business is amazing. I listen to it every Thursday when the new episode is released. Thank you for what you do, Colt!

    Long time fan, new Colt mark!
    My wife and I attended the NWA 70 event over the weekend and saw Colt for the first time live. WOW! He commanded the crowd and did more in a 4 way match that opened the show than any other performer on the card. His effort and presence was the most memorable for us, by far. I have been a die hard pro wrestling fan for 30 plus years. She has been a casual observer for less than 5 years, yet we both saw “it” in him. That same “it” comes through in his podcast. We listened for the first time the day after NWA 70, and I’m hooked. I’ve gone back and listened to 12 episodes and look forward to Thursday for new episodes. Definitely, give this a listen. On a side note, we had the pleasure of meeting Colt after the show and were able to thank him personally and tell him how much we appreciated his match. You da man, Colt!
  • DHWhiteMamba24

    Jump on the happy bus with Colt
    I’m a lifer for the podcast. Colt brings great stories of the business without the drama. I can’t say enough good things about the podcast to put it over. Go to coltmerch.com and spend some money. Chad Teetrick

    Colt = Wrestling Podcast G.O.A.T
    Really love the show man! You’re a joy to listen to and there’re always awesome interviews and stories every week!
  • BillyBob Jimbo
    Most entertaining pro wrestling podcast
    Every podcast has its niche, but Colt has been doing this forever and always puts out good content each week. Fun. Entertaining. Informative. Subscribe. You won’t be disappointed.
  • Bdhahdleu
    Fantastic
    This makes my work day so much better Thanks Colt. I’d also love a DDT ticket.
  • jdboland70
    5 stars seems a bit of an undersell.
    This podcast makes manual labor tolerable. Anyone who makes their living toiling in the South Carolina sun will tell you there’s not much that makes this climate tolerable. You do. For that, I thank you. Also, Wrestling Dreams is Nathaniel Hawks favorite book.
  • AbeMed
    AOW Forever
    I’ve been listening to Art of Wrestling bring the unique perspective of the independent wrestler for years now. Colt gives us a window into the lives of these warriors and shows us up close the sacrifice and passion they have to do what they love. It’s really inspiring and I’m grateful for all the work Colt has done for professional wrestling to grow. Thanksss!

    I have been listening to this this podcast since I believe it's second episode. Since then, it has been a staple in my weekly podcasts. I love the change in format and look forward to it weekly! Keep up the good work Colt!
  • DawgTalk
    I'm #ALLIN for Colt Cabana!
    Colt is the OG of pro wrestling podcasts. I've been away for awhile, but I'm definitely now #ALLIN for Art of Wrestling. Colt's probably one of the nicest and most sincere people in the business, and a great commentator on ROH Wrestling. Support him at coltmerch.com!
  • plreyes11
    Fan support!
    I’ve been listening for quite some time, and finally learned how to leave reviews.(needed google’s help) love how laid back the show is, not too serious, but still a great look at life on the road for a pro wrestler. Also I genuinely enjoy the episodes where you record interviews at big shows such as all in just last week. Keep it up colt, momma cabana approves!
  • dog4life182

    The Original is still the best
    Colt is always the same friendly, funny guy on the pod as he is in person. This podcast has been a weekly staple of mine for six years.
