Alongside the “Owen’s final day” podcast, this is the best show that POST has ever done.

In an environment where, globally, our leadership continues to fail, shows like this are picking up the slack and doing work that isn’t your job, but is much appreciated.

Thank you to both of you, and to all of your guests for giving us the reality and for not sensationalising what’s happening.

I agree, it was a really great show. We shouldn’t have to tune into a wrestling show and hear about this kind of stuff, but it’s the reality right now and there’s no one I’d rather hear talk about it, than John & Wai.

Great interview with @Alex_Patel

This show once again demonstrates why POST is the best in wrestling media at tackling stories like this. No bs, no over hype, just straight facts and good info that some of the mainstream seems to struggle with. This is up there with the guy’s show after the 2nd Saudi show and the Owen doc as the best I’ve heard in wrestling pods. Thank you John and Wai

Excellent show. I echo a lot of the same sentiments.

This may be Post Wrestling’s finest work. Despite Living in the Bay Area(California) I was somewhat in denial of the potential effects of covid 19 until the dominos started falling this week. Well, that’s all changed now.
I just want to thank John and Wai (and Dr. Alex Patel!) for going above and beyond their mission statement to deliver a measured, intelligent response to this global pandemic.
Keep up the brilliant work and stay safe!

PS, I hope this situation means we can retire the Naito spit spot forever. Always hated that.
