10 Wrestling Podcasts Every WWE Fan Should Listen To
The airwaves are overflowing with podcasting awesomeness at the moment.
Over the last couple of years, the world of wrestling podcasts has completely exploded, and the audio-on-demand outlet has become almost as successful as the visual side. So much so, that Steve Austin and Chris Jericho have even seen their podcasts become semi-regular adapted features on the WWE Network.
It's almost as if every wannabe wrestler, former writer or ex-superstar has gone on to the natural progression of becoming a podcaster. From Jerry Lawler to Jim Cornette, the list of personalities to make the leap from the ring to radio is astounding.
With so many wrestling podcasts around, it's hard to know where to start. What's more, it's even harder to find the time to fit them all in when you do. But fear not, wrestling fans: we've waded through the raging river of wrestling-related audio and emerged from the other side with a handful of the very best shows for your listening pleasure. The fact that some of the best shows around still didn't make the final cut proves just how good some of these shows are - and every one of them is worth a try.
Don't believe us? Give one a shot; chances are you'll be hooked.
10. The JJ Dillon Show
For fans of Jim Crockett Promotions, there's arguably no greater manager than JJ Dillon. A pivotal piece of the Four Horsemen puzzle during the 1980s, Dillon was a regular villain on NWA television and a key ingredient in the championship pursuits of Ric Flair, the Andersons and Tully Blanchard.
After he stepped away from the group, Dillon would go on to have a great career offscreen for both the WWF and WCW as a front office executive, taking his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. With such a long, varied and stellar career, his experiences and expertise make him the perfect man to host his own show on the MLW Radio Network.
Accompanied by co-host, Rich Bocchini, Dillon draws upon his decades of experience to cover specific events from yesteryear, like the very first Clash of the Champions special and the inaugural WarGames match, as well as giving his take on specific insider topics, such as booking a territory.
Dillon's unique position gives the listeners unrestricted access to the goings-on behind the scenes, behind the curtain and behind closed doors. Whether he's recounting a story from the height of the Horsemen or a run-in with Jim Barnett, JJ's humble, honest approach to Bocchini's questioning makes for truly unfiltered and fascinating content.
