    5 Star Podcast
    Never been to Cleveland but thanks to this podcast, I want to go just to attend an AIW show. John and the AIW roster are great and all wrestling fans should subscribe and listen. Shoutout the Rip City Shooters! 🤙🏽
  • DirtRon
    Top tier podcast
    This show is top notch. New shows every week and a great listen. Always have good guests and John Thorne is the best promoter in the game. The moderator of sorts is pretty great as well. Need more WORLDWIDE on the show again lately though.
  • Whole Reffin' Show
    Interesting look behind the curtain
    Fun podcast detailing the happenings that go on in the ring and behind the scenes at Cleveland, Ohio’s AIW. Company owner John Thorne, moderator Steve Guy, and a rotating panel of the AIW roster members make this a must listen to show every week.

    Greatest wrestling podcast
    The AIW podcast is one of the funniest and most informative wrestling podcasts out there. I’m a huge fan of their promotion, watch as many of the shows as I can and drive up at least once a year. It was a brilliant move on their end to open up and tell stories of what it’s like to run a real deal indie wrestling promotion in the Midwest.

    Great podcast
    I started subscribing a little over a year ago. It’s a podcast that makes you feel like you’re listening to friends and gives you an idea of what it’s like to run a wrestling company in the Midwest. Great listen. Honest and transparent.

    I have been listening to wrestling podcasts since the early ages of the form and none of them can really compare to the AIW podcast. It provides a completely unique view of the wrestling business from someone who totally gets it. I look forward to hearing Thorne talk about the daily operations of AIW every time it drops. RIP Biggins, wish I could have got to know you. Thanks for everything you do guys.

    Great wrestling pod
    A great pod that looks behind the scenes of indy wrestling. John Thorne and Steve Guy are good hosts and they have a interesting and hilarious cast of guests from AIW each week.
  • DWK II

    Two Thumbs Up!
    Really fun listen. Lets you hear what it takes to put a live wrestling show together. Stories about the highs and lows of being a wrestling promoter. From wrestling school students, well traveled vets, WWE stars, and everyone in between, the guests are always entertaining. A must listen every week.

    TCIGTC puts on a 5 star match every week
    The Card Is Going To Change is a phenomenal wrestling podcast. AIW Owner John Thorne provides his candid and honest insights into running an independent wrestling promotion alongside “Moderator of Sorts” Steve Guy and a weekly special guest, be it a graduate from the AIW Academy like Dom Garrini or a veteran of independent wrestling like Eddie Kingston. Swoggle is a podcast regular and provides hilarious insight, especially when he’s a guest alongside Kingston. TCIGTC is great for wrestling students as well, as Thorne often provides valuable feedback on what to do and not to do when you’re just starting out. TCITGC discusses AIW event previews/recaps, covering everything like who they wanted to book for the show, who didn’t show (due to getting arrested or a Trump Travel Ban) and who showed up on the card as a surprise. The call they recorded with Psycho Sid after he screwed over AIW is podcast gold. As a casual wrestling fan, this is th only wrestling podcast I go out of my way to listen to each week. Thankssssssssssss! #RIPBiggins
  • JayCash3756
    Great insight on indie wrestling
    This is a very candid look at the inner-workings of a great Cleveland Indie promotion. Occasionally some nice guests with great stories of the business, but the normal AIW guys make this a really fun listen if you want to expose the business to yourself, brother.

    Hearing behind the scenes about some of my favorite wrestlers and lowdowns on events I've attended are such cool things. Answering questions I'd think about and never asking, while also giving so much more than I could of imagined. So many thumbs up! Thaaaankkkssssss!

    My favorite wrestling podcast
    There hasn't been a bad episode. That alone is enough of a reason to listen. It's always funny and gives you a unique look inside Independent wrestling.
  • BRMF!
    Great podcast for fans of indie wrestling
    Tremendous podcast that gives insight into the challenges of promoting a wrestling show. A lot of great talent, from many different eras, have come through AIW over the years and the guys have some hilarious stories about them and their many quirks. I can't recommend the podcast or the promotion enough.
  • Titiansfan60
    Great Podcast
    Listening to John and Chandler is the highlight of each Monday. Made me more of an AIW fan.
  • SheWresltesTest
    Great podcast about a great indie
    Love the AIW podcast. The stories are always funny. But it does need more Grado
  • Villagecharm
    Hilarious and insightful
    This is, hands down, my favorite wrestling podcast. Hosted by John Thorne, Chandler Biggins, and Steve Guy of AIW, every episode manages to be both legitimately funny while offering a huge amount of insight into what it's like to run an independent wrestling promotion. So many indie promoters try to be as opaque as possible, but these guys put everything on the table, from money woes to the (alleged) bad behavior of famous wrestlers. Great stuff for any wrestling fan.

    Great
    John Thorne and Chris "Chandler Biggins" Biggins, alongside their trusty side kick/ring announcer Steve Guy, give an honest look and pull no punches when explaining the difficulties and joys they've experienced in booking talent and promoting independent professional wrestling in Cleveland Ohio. This, with a cup of Death Wish Coffee, has become the best way to start my Monday mornings
