    (Cough) Stooges
    I tried listening, but especially Mike & JD Show, and as they admitted themselves, they are nothing more than stooges for AEW, and go out of their way to try to shade anything WWE is doing because they can’t stand the fact Triple H has exposed Khan as the incompetent Mark he is

    Taking their own CREDIBILITY to the task!
    Guys I discovered the show several weeks ago & have throughly enjoyed EVERYTHING. Look, let’s be HONEST: PPL who are super fans of this business in, this Business Most Fans just BELIEVE whatever they hear described in a controversial situations as It’s STILL Funny how💯 % Gospel if I came MELTER or KELLER. Who because of the newsletters, the small in # towns, and tape traders: MELTZER/KEELER were FREE to operate in whatever way they saw fit. UNTIL...... JOE and RICH popped up on My Apple Toones. What a Blessing. Keep up the good and if you need a someone to write any articles from you I’m VERY very good at my profession. THANKS GUYS and 🌚🌚🌚🌚

    Support VoW except Jumping Bomb Audio
    -1 star because they carry Jumping Bomb Audio Podcast on their feed VoW is, in my opinion, one of the more reputable wrestling websites when it comes to stories and recaps - but my goodness the knuckleheads VoW have put in charge to host their Joshi content are unlistenable. I question how much they actually watch Joshi wrestling outside of buzzworthy matches, ChocoPro, and Diana (of all promotions?!?). Diana is fine and all but I think like 3 matches made one of their hosts top 10 moty - silliness. I understand watching the lesser known companies to build some sort of credibility but 3 top 10 MOTY candidates for Diana shows the complete lack of care in actually covering the scene while focusing just on ‘my favorite promotion you never heard of.’ Hipster punditry and it’s not even done well. Additionally, the podcast drops roughly every two weeks where they admit they don’t watch parts of shows they’re recapping and make unfounded claims with no proof such as ‘Bushiroad is looking to sell Stardom’. This seems to be their M.O. as they make other ridiculous claims on their AEW podcast except there’s at least someone there to fact check them on their nonsense. This type of lack of willingness to learn about what’s actually happening in Joshi while providing absurd takes with no merit would be fine for a fan-made podcast but not for the VoW website. Not what I’ve come to expect from the quality of VoW over the last year. I hope whomever is in charge looks at this show and shakes up the hosts - complete disservice to the fanbases of these promotions, wrestlers within these promotions and any fans who may be interested in learning more about Joshi. Much better content out there via google search - do not waste your time.

    The best wrestling podcast in the business.

    THE premier wrestling podcasts
    VOW network are the only wrestling podcasts that ever truly feel like they care/present pro wrestling in all facets (in-ring, business aspects, etc). It’s the best, well worth your time (especially the Flagship).
  • LWFJobber4
    Alternative Perspective
    The Flagship podcast every Friday offers unique insights that aren’t regurgitations of Keller and Meltzer. The hosts have an especially strong understanding of American and Japanese men’s wrestling. An important listen to stay current with the hardcore wrestling fan base.
  • Jojothewhal3
    The Kobashi of reviews.
    It's tough to find non-sensationalized content coming from unstuffy and fresh angles these days, but somehow VoW keeps giving us wave after wave of exactly that.
  • forno08
    Fantastic
    There isn’t a bad show on this network. The best part about these shows are when Joe Lanza goes on crazy rants on the VOW Flagship. Can’t be beat
  • dluh
    Just subscribe to Super J Cast separately
    Given that Super J has its own feed, there’s no reason to subscribe to this. Wrestling Omakase is especially insufferable.
  • mondeeeay
    Found my new home
    I am an avid listener of wrestling information of all forms and podcasts are the most convenient, best opportunity to keep up with the art I love. Thank you to the VOW crew for the high quality sound, real presentation and on time weekly visits.
  • No Chants in Hell
    So many incredible podcasts
    I can’t recommend “Music of the Mat” (amazing in depth analysis of pro wrestling theme music) and “Super J Cast” (fantastic NJPW talk, as well as crisps) enough. They are my 2 favorite podcasts right now. “5 Star Match Game” is unbelievably fun for wrestling nerds...err enthusiasts like myself - please do more!! And so many other podcasts out there. Something for everyone’s tastes and a great way to get introduced into a new area of pro wrestling and expand your horizons.

    Two white dudes talking about Asians......in wrestling
    The flagship podcast is one of the best wrestling focused podcasts out there. I have been a listener since late 2013 and I will say this is a great podcast for all the "hardcores" out there. And when I mean "hardcores" I mean "hardcores". When it comes to wrestling they cover it all. From unmasking Ants to The Great Power Uti to "finger play". Not only do you learn about wrestling on this podcast but you learn about the "birds and the bees" and how to propery pronounce names like Will O'Spray, Jack Gallager and Pokeyman Go. It is just a fantastic podcast with two great guys , Rich and Joe. If this podcast was a tinder pic, you would definitely swipe right. So keep up the great work gentleman! Stay sassy Rich and keep eating that Cookie Puss Joe. Chappin! Chappin!
  • Ryan Glaspell
    Best Network of Wrestling Radio
    I absolutely love the diversity and quality of podcasts that Voices of Wrestling provides. Whether it's the flagship, STR, or the Purocast, every week I'm hooked and always trying my best to keep up with the different shows. The thing that separates VOW from other wrestling podcasts and networks is the consitent quality and entertainment value. There aren't podcasts that are 50% goofy listeners calling in with cringeworthy comments. They are radio shows packed with knowledge and humor. Couldn't recommend more.

    VOW
    I love this network, the flagship and open the voice gate are 2 pods I never skip. Quality!
  • Huskerdouken
    Six freaking stars!
    F iTunes for taking the VOW Podcast Network down. Nothing a true lashing from internationally acclaimed podcaster as heard on the BBC Joe Lanza couldn't fix, though. The VOW Podcast Network features some of the best and most unique wrestling podcasts today. You have the flagship VoW podcast featuring Joe Lanza and Rich Kraetsch that covers the world of wrestling like no one else can. Shake Them Ropes covers the WWE, and Music of the Mat is a great new podcast jsut finding its way. Plus, other podcasts talk about Dragon Gate, Brit Wrestling and Japan. Give them a try, you won't regret it.
  • Jmichaelmastro
    It is return!
    Thanks for getting your act together, iTunes. My podcast sanctuary from forced memes, southern accents, and Internet busking. Wary of Lanza's straw men army, though...
  • Anani Moose
    Justice
    iTunes UNJUSTLY deleting VoW has topped the lack of Lanza Unfiltered episodes of the biggest travesty in podcasting history. Great to have the number 1 wrestling podcast back.
  • SaucedoPro
    Should be 6 stars.
    This is the Okada vs Omega of wrestling podcast
  • timesuckerr
    Love VOW!
    Look forward to the flagship every week, perfect for all the driving to work that I do. Burning Spirits, Purocast, the list goes on and on for all the great podcasts under the network. Great to have you back on iTunes.
  • Head Cheese (@blu_reymysterio)
    Very Nice Network
    Very fun podcast and network providing great banter.

  • Lee (@itsNotUItsLee)
    Welcome back!
    I missed my one-stop for all news around a variety of areas in professional wrestling. Welcome back, VOW!
  • Stankamaniac
    Always awesome
    Great podcasts that isn't a surprise if you follow their website. Keep up the good work and continue to jump those hurdles iTunes keeps throwing in front of you...had to use TuneIn which I didn't want to but refuse to miss my VOW. Glad you're back!

    The Return...
    First off, having Voices of Wrestling (VOW) off of iTunes for about a week (felt like months) left me empty as I struggled to get my fill on what's going on in the world of pro wrestling. Friday, February 10th, 2017, I'm bombarded with VOW podcast episodes and I'm leaping for joy. This is the best podcast network for wrestling fans of British Wrestling, NJPW, WWE, Indie Wrestling, and other promotions out there! Listen and enjoy!
  • Mthmas
    Great analysis for a variety of promotions.
    If there's a big story/show, they'll cover it regardless of promotion. Great breakdowns and analysis for promotions small and big. Highly recommend.

    VOW
    I found Voices of Wrestling in January 2016 after throwing myself into New Japan Pro Wrestling after Wrestle Kingdom 10 and have been hooked since. The Flagship every Friday with Rich & Joe Lanza (Chappin' Chappin') and The Purocast with Damon & Colin were instrumental in guiding me through the NJPW waters. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a grasp on all things New Japan Pro Wrestling.
  • Normski Q
    Cheer Up, Lads.
    Way too much negativity. All they do is whine. If you like listening to a pair of neck-bearded mouth breathers complain for THREE F*CKING HOURS, then this is the podcast for you. I get that wrestling is a subjective artform, but there's a consensus on some things. There's just way too many contrary opinions and dumb "hot takes" for any reasonable wrestling fan to take this podcast seriously. Absolute garbage.
  • Ligerxbomb
    Flagship show is great.
    The flagship show does a great job of covering many different promotions. As a big fan of New Japan, I like the fact that they devout a good deal of time to them. Joe and Rich's enthusiasm for Dragon Gate has made me a big fan of that promotion too.
  • Algoulet
    Love Shake them Ropes
    Great podcast
  • DIsaac614
    Must Download Podcasts
    I got to say These guys are good. They cover every side of wrestling whether that is WWE, Lucha Underground, Japan, England and others through the main and other podcasts you'll get here it is a must have podcasts if you are a wrestling fan. And yes you'll be smarter for it as well!
  • Mr. Bartoloco
    Lucha Of The Hidden Temple is the best!
    These guys really nail it. A concise mix of recaps & analysis with plenty of humor thrown in. They often shine a light on subtleties of Lucha Underground I missed or didn't notice. Not just fanboys either, they hurl plenty of criticism where warranted. I believe the shows come out on Wednesday, recapping the previous week, which makes it the perfect listen before digesting the new LU episode. Looking forward to having this excellent companion to the show for years to come.
  • Chris Maffei
    Best in the game, period.
    VOW is the best overall package in wrestling podcasts. The flagship show is my favorite wrestling podcast out there. Highly recommend this network, as well as the VOW website.
  • Brianb2099
    Great Knowledgeable Hosts!
    Great Knowledgeable Hosts!
  • Jacobtallman
    Great
    Frequent listener of wrestling podcasts and I just listened to one because I ran out of my normal shows. This is great and I subscribed right away after listening to one.
  • DustinReed8483
    The flagship show is great
    Joe Lanza and Rich Kraetz do an outstanding job on the flagship show. I listen every week and consider them to be "friends I've never met." I also very much enjoy Jeff Hawkins on "Shake Them Ropes." Everything else on the network is rather amateurish and repetitive, but I can't let that stand in the way of a 5-star review. My BIGGEST complaint however, is that whenever a new episode of Shake Them Ropes debuts, every single previous episode downloads as well. That's really annoying—to the point where I had to unsubscribe on iTunes. But I still come back for the main show every single for week.
  • McOscar6666
    Quality work
    Hands down the best wrestling podcast on the web! From the main flagship show that covers everything from the WWE to all the major Japanese promotions. To shake them ropes which is by far the best WWE centric podcast, I could not recommend this enough!
  • KennyLars
    The most interesting podcast going today
    I love Voices of Wrestling! I don't even watch Japanese wrestling, but these guys make me care about the shows and the wrestlers! Their views are always interesting and they have a great sense of humor. Keep up the great work, guys!
  • dobied
    Love it all
    I love the VOW podcasts. Each series has its own point and is different from the others. Keep it up
  • Drubonic
    they know everything.. and i learn. what up tho
    good stuff. wanted to support them by writing a review... been listening for a few months. Joe Lanza is everything. Thanks.
  • GameFreac1
    Best wrestling podcast
    I love this podcast since they talk about multiple promotions and shows in 1 episode. The shows usually go around 3 hours long but they hit WWE, Dragon Gate, New Japan, and other indy promotions. They break down storylines if you're not sure what's going on in Japan and preview/review shows very fast. And they aren't just boring robots. They talk about random funny things every episode and go off on long tangents and don't even remember what they were talking about. Joe Lanza's rants are usually long and annoying at times but they're also pretty funny. I even got my very own Joe Lanza roast after sending an email for feedback. I'm honored. Hilarious. Thanks. Check this show out!
  • Ssloan60
    A must listen!
    Really should change the name to the Joe Lanza show,but hey someone has to edit the show.Now if they could only shut those dogs up
  • rudywasoffside
    Voices of Wrestling is must-listen
    VoW is must-listen for fans of US indies, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and for all who enjoy fun, fresh and energetic takes on pro wrestling.
  • Cranky Scott 13
    Good Show!
    I enjoy the shows that I have listened to. Worth the rating
  • mouthofinfinity
    Good stuff
    I just started listening over the last week and I'm really enjoying it. One podcast that covers WWE, American indies and Puro is awesome.
