The Best Wrestling Podcasts Of 2021

Wrestling fans often forget how good they have it in the 21st century. Watching old WWF matches on a tiny TV screen in standard definition just doesn’t compare to the way we can enjoy the sport today.

Not only that, but the wealth of online wrestling content means you’ll never run out of things to watch, read and listen to.

One of the biggest sources of wrestling information in recent years has been podcasts. The format has grown rapidly since the early 2010s thanks to smartphones making it easier to find, download and listen to them on the go. With podcasts that cater to just about every topic imaginable, from poker to Esports, nearly half of all Americans have listened to at least one, with around 90 million doing so each month.

For wrestling fans, there are enough shows out there that you could spend all your waking hours listening to the latest news and discussions about it. But if you’re looking for quality over quantity, then here are the podcasts you should be listening to in 2021.

Going in Raw

With a name that’s sure to bring an immature smirk to your face, the Going in Raw podcast is presented by Steve and Larson, two big pro wrestling fans. They started the show back in 2014 and have been publishing regular shows ever since. Both guys are good friends and passionate about what they do, which really comes across in their presentations.

Going in Raw is published most days, with some days seeing more than one release. Most last around an hour, though some are a little shorter.

You can find Going in Raw on most podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and PlayerFM.

Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast

The veteran pro wrestling journalist Wade Keller certainly knows a thing or two about the sport after spending more than 30 years covering it. He runs the popular Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter, which he founded way back in 1987, and has been hosting his Pro Wrestling Podcast since 2017.

With so much experience, you can be sure you’re listening to some of the best insight from the world of professional wrestling.

Keller publishes the Pro Wrestling Podcast several times a week (usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a few extras thrown in for good measure), with most lasting around two hours, giving you plenty of wrestling content to get your teeth into.

You can find the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, PlayerFM and most other places where you can download podcasts.

Prime Time with Sean Mooney

If you’re feeling a little nostalgic for wrestling of old, this podcast from the former WWE announcer will be right up your street. In addition to working as an anchor for the National Wrestling Alliance and the KVOA TV station, Mooney publishes his podcast several times a month.

Lasting around 60-90 minutes apiece, each episode of Prime Time with Sean Mooney sees him interview some of the biggest names from wrestling during the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Recent interviews have included Todd Pettengill, Scott Norton, and The Blue Meanie.

Prime Time with Sean Mooney is available on all the usual podcast platforms.

Highway2Helms w/ Shane Helms

Shane Helms has been involved in professional wrestling since 1991. In that time he’s competing in the WWE, WCE, and several independent promotions. Today he works as a backstage producer for the WWE, though he has also made the occasional appearance in the ring. The most recent being an All Elite Wrestling cameo in November last year.

Being on the inside of professional wrestling, Helms is in the perfect position to share great insights, something he does every Wednesday in his Highway2Helms w/ Shane Helms podcast.
