Hey everyone,

Back in August I posted about potentially making the podcast my full-time job.

This was a response to me being laid off at my last job. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I'm starting to lean towards actually going through with it.

It would be a ton of work and the only way to make it work is if the monthly subscription at least doubled from $5 to $10 for the lowest tier. Unlike the rest of the world, we didn't raise prices during covid because I didn't want to be greedy like the rest of the world. I still don't want to, but if this is going to be my only job, then I need to make enough money to be able to pull it off.

Due to the price increase, we will be adding an extra bonus podcast a week. I think most people want the AEW/NXT podcast to come back, so we can go ahead and do that. We'll cover AEW/NXT weekly and recap their PPVs as well.

I'm also thinking about doing a weekly fan interaction podcast where you can call into the show. That show would most likely just be me.

Nothing is final yet, but this is what I'm thinking as far as the updated tiers would go.

Jobber $10 a month

  • This would replace the Low-Carder $5 tier

  • Access to ALL bonus podcasts and content

  • Submit fan questions

Mid-Carder $20 a month

  • This would replace the Mid-Carder $10 tier

  • Your name in the credits on the main podcast on YouTube

  • A follow from one our show's social media accounts on X, Instagram, or TikTok. (You pick)

  • Everything on the lower tier as well

Main Eventer $50 a month

  • This would replace the Main Eventer $25 tier

  • A personalized video just like they do on Cameo (one a month)

  • Everything on the lower tiers as well

  • I'm open to other ideas for this one

Hall of Famer $100 a month

  • There would be no price change on this one

  • A guest spot on the show to do AWARDS with us!

  • I used to say only one guest spot per 6 months, but if someone wants to do this monthly and come on the show every month that works too.

I'm open to your ideas, but just know I can't do everyone's because there are a lot.

Which tier would you sign up for? Vote below! Thanks!

Kelsi Gloyd

You put in more than enough work for this to be your full time job. I think the price increase is very fair. You guys truly are one of the highlights of my week!

ethan

in my opinion, you should add a $75 tier and have those people be able to do awards with you, and have the $100 be able to do the whole show if they’d like, but i’m totally in support of this new plan, you deserve a pay increase from us marks

Josh Egan

Absolutely thrilled about this, you have my support.

Leon Davies

Would you still do a yearly deal? I find it useful to get it paid up at once I don’t even really mind if it doesn’t have a saving

Lil Donnnny

Sorry to hear about your job man. I agree with Kelsi you guys deserve a little price increase you guys do more than enough and if you look at these other wrestling podcasts, their Patreon prices are crazy. $10 a month isn’t bad I could definitely do that

Joe Walsh

How would the year sub work if it was still a thing? Just 12x for the teir you wanted? I am fully in support of whatever u choose, this is the first patreon I ever joined and is still my favorite for the last 10ish years.

Mark Mamilton

Definitely up for $10 especially if it means you can do it as your job

Mike Oxmaul

I'll buy a year up front to get the AEW podcast back

Alex Gonzalez

I’m ride or die with What’s wrong!!

Rebel Scum

I’ll pay whatever you want me to pay! This will forever be my favorite podcast. You put in more than enough work to justify the price. Get paid!!!

Joseph Reiling

More than happy to double my subscription from $5 to $10. If I wasn’t so poor, I’d be on a higher tier.

Joe Burns

As a current mid-carder it sounds like my price is doubling and the content I receive will double. With that; if I drop a tier, I will still pay the same and receive twice the content as I do now. I just lose my name in the credits. So is it worth $10 a month just to keep my name in the credits? Yup, you’re fukin right it is. I’m staying a mid-carder. +$10 from me.

Andy Pacconi

You guys are my favorite podcast put there. I would have no problem with paying more even if there wasn't more content.

Leon Davies

Well I’d be fine with the price change, it’s how much podcasts tend to charge. I sub to one other podcast that isn’t wrestling (I’ll not promote it) and that’s how much they charge so I’d say you’d be in line with normal prices

American Marks

Only if Joe bleaches his hair and does an episode as Ric Flair 🤣

thomas atherton

Id like to think majority of your community agree - the increase is worth it if it means more content ... only if we get more josh insults

Joey Cage

Worth it!!! With extra podcast to come?? You got my money!!! (MEL GIBSON YELLING)

Dhruv Doshi

Happy with increase and no need for extra shows! Almost ten years of awesome entertainment with basic zero time off. *This* is Awesome!

Uncle Saudi

Awesome! Can never get enough!!

derzocko

Oh man. Sad to your that you've been laid off. Your work is amazing. I will pay the 10 bucks in no time. Been a fan since 2015 and never regretted it.

Spencer Conover

Worth the price and happy to support you guys

Richard Marston-Mather

Happy to pay more for this considering the work you guys put in and if it helps make watching AEW again worth it for you 🤣

Amraj Malhi

Sorry about your job mate, but silver linings and all.. If it's full time, maybe you can do a UK tour for the pod finally lol. I'll be supporting you. Kept me entertained while on the road for my job so thank you.

Angelo Gaetano III

You're out tribal chief....and what tribal chief wants, tribal chief gets! We gotcha back brotha!

Danae Sands

As someone who was away from wrestling for a while, I would be a big fan of “The Lapsed Fan’s Guide to…” episodes. A couple of ideas are: - The Gargano/Ciampa Team and Feud - Shinsuke Nakamura’s Run in NXT - Kofi-Mania As others have said, the Tier increases are more than fair for how much content you guys churn out.

Ariel Rivera

Do what you gotta do bro, I’ve been listening for years and I feel like you guys on the podcast are like family at this point. Every week I look forward to listening religiously. If you’re willing to dedicate yourself to us I’m willing to help Out. Good luck with everything and you have my support

Joel Wilkins

I would happily pay another $5 for the NXT/AEW show to come back

Lil Donnys Choo Choo train

Getting laid off isn't as good as it sounds. Yes. You're getting fucked, but not in a good way.

whatswrongwithwrestling

I'm scared as fuck to do this because there's no going back! You guys are the best! Thanks so much!

Yokomo.Verga

Would the aew pod have josh back ?? I would 100% like that 😅😅😅

Willie Fistergash

You've kept it at 5 dollars for much longer than I would have expected. I'll definitely stick around. I'd love to have AEW pod back as well!

The Tribal Queef

Not interested in AEW content personally but would love to see more brackets or tier lists!

Paul

Yes please bring back the aew podcast 🤩

Monster #10

I would love more brackets and watch alongs! The suburban commando was amazing.

Dustin Dawley

I wish the $5 tier would stay, that’s a perfect spot to me for paying for a podcast. Just being honest, but I will probably end up paying the $10.

Whose Moida

Very excited to get more Josh! Will happily pay the extra $5

MJ Heights

An extra five bucks is nothing compared to the joy you all bring me every week. Count me in!

JTP05

I’m in for the extra $. For those spending $20+ there could be a listeners belt (or fucking Mark belt)… we fill out the same scorecard as you.

Gay Fartinez

Dude you've been putting in a hell of a lot of work for almost a decade. Fuck yeah the WWWW Universe is with you!

Travis Roberts

I'm fine with all of it but I have demands. 1. When Josh isn't available. but Eric is, Eric does the MNW podcast with you guys. That's non-negotiable. 2. Tell the $100 Narcissists to take a hike with the doing awards thing. They ain't funny. Give your $100 and be content knowing you're helping a great show. 3. Eric has to start pronouncing the word supposeDly correctly. Also push Eric.

Travis Roberts

Addendum: If the $100/month folks insist on some sort of incentive just give them Josh's personal phone number.

Abhishek

Love all the shows. Will support you guys no matter what.

Ron Johnson

I expect a Jets bonus podcast at least twice a season.

Lucas Toner

I hope you can go full time w/ this pod. You deserve it 👏 👏 👏 Thanks guys.

Cousin John

I have no problem paying $10/month, would’ve paid that years ago for everything you put out. Thanks for putting out guys, now take my money

xxSuperDave

$10 is the new Five. I'm good with it!

Fossie 32

Do most people want you to do AEW / NXT shows again? At least with AEW you said you don't like doing it and I thought most people weren't interested?? How about just doing a segment on them in the main shows. Maybe go back to one each for Smackdown and RAW. Thanks guys
