Podcasts covering professional wrestling are as common as clotheslines and headlocks. For brave explorers seeking to enter the pro wrestling podcast vortex, we at SEScoops want to make your journey as easy as possible.

Each week, we update you on the Top 25 most-listened-to wrestling podcast episodes, focusing on the Top 5 (including embeds). This feature is based on data from Apple Podcasts compiled by Chartable.

Top 5 Wrestling Podcasts

1) Jim Cornette Experience ?

Love or hate him, Jim Cornette doesn’t care what you think. He has been a prominent figure in professional wrestling for decades and is considered one of the pioneers in producing weekly wrestling commentary.

He has maintained his grasp on the #1 position of our Top 5 list for the second week in a row. This is an impressive feat, especially since The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast has been an absolute juggernaut in the rankings.

In the latest edition of the Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette talks about his 100% true best friend, Dave Meltzer, and reviews both WWE Smackdown and an interview in which new AEW writer Jennifer Pepperman participated. One can only imagine his take on that!

Most importantly, Cornette discusses the passing of WWE Hall of Famer Afa Anoai.

2) Insight with Chris Van Vliet 

Chris Van Vliet isn’t just one of the most well-respected interviewers in professional wrestling; he’s an internationally recognized media personality. He’s a four-time Emmy-winning TV Host, YouTuber, and Inc. 500 entrepreneur who’s interviewed everyone from Anne Hathaway to Hornswoggle.

The latest edition of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, it’s time yet another AskCVV episode! CVV talks about Joe Hendry’s potential as NXT Champion (Maybe he’ll even appear!), if Bryan Danielson will lose to Swerve Strickland and retire at AEW All In (Spoiler Alert: Welp), what he thinks the “the worst storyline in the history of wrestling” is, and tips for those heading to their first WrestleMania.

3) Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway

The Undertaker’s highly praised Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway podcast has fallen to #3 on the Top 5 list—a report that we’re not super thrilled to share. If The Phenom does read this list, please know we’re doing our job! (Blame Chartable!).

In the latest edition of Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, the WWE Hall of Famer reviews WWE SummerSlam. Check out The Deadman’s thoughts on every bout, and creative decision at the Biggest Party of The Summer!

4) Perched On The Top Rope ?

Making an appearance in the Top 5 once again is the Perched On The Top Rope podcast! The program is hosted by Lee, a former writer, avid wrestling collector, and fan for over 30 years. He’s joined by Larry Peace, a former MLW referee, and Justin, the podcast’s correspondent.

In Episode 211, the crew gives predictions for AEW ALL IN Predictions and discusses the AEW ALL IN pre-event Media Call with President Tony Khan. While All In maybe All Wrapped at the time of this writing, check out the episode regardless! See if the guys got close with their thoughts and projections.

5) Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru ?

Can’t get enough of Jim Cornette? Want to listen to even MORE of his thoughts, predictions, and opinions on current and old-school wrestling? Well do we have some great news for you!

Cornette’s Drive-Thru podcast rounds out the Top 5 of this week’s rankings, with the industry legend speaking on topics such as AEW All In (pre-event), AEW Dynamite, and WWE Raw. Plus, Jim talks about one of his favorite people – Tony Khan! You won’t want to miss this episode for sure.
