    Best Podcast bare none
    Been a listener since 2008 love the fact that DT and KC give the facts they don’t care about being first they care about being right. they do not mislead the listeners and have always been honest and straight forward. They treat the listeners as family and not just a number. Go above and beyond to give us the best show possible. I have turned several friends on to the podcast and they thank me. Thank you DTKC for being you.

    Like Your Family
    Been a listener since 2011, both Don Tony and Kevin Castle shoot from the hip and give it to us as real as it gets. Both great human beings that make us feel at home. They are hilarious and have a way that make us want to listen deeply into everything they are saying. Top Notch podcast!

    The Originals
    I been watching and listening to Don Tony and Kevin castle content Since 2012 when The Shield debuted. These guys are a big part of my childhood and they always kept their opinions truthful and genuine they never changed with the evolving wrestling community. The Daily updates are kicking butt Don Keep them going we appreciate them a lot me and my wife really love them!

    They’re Baaaaaaack!!!!
    I’ve been listening to Don Tony since he was doing the old Blackhearts hotline back in 98 when I was 16. I followed him into the digital age when he started The Minority Report with Kevin Castle and the other guys and then best version with just Don Tony and Kevin. I listened to every episode and it was must hear radio each and every week. Sadly, when you guys broke up it was no longer essential listening material to me. I could miss a show here or there and it didn’t really matter. I’ve been subscribed to your Patreon since day one and I enjoyed Kevin’s solo show. The news that you two were joining up again and bringing The Don Tony and Kevin Castle Show back was the best news I’ve heard in years. You guys put a smile on this 41 years old man’s face every week and I’m so ecstatic that it’s back and better than ever. This is once again destination listening for Rob Ace each and every week. All other podcast hosts should bow down to The O.G’s of wrestling radio.

  • Maxx Bing
    Glad you’re back
    Arguably the best true fan pro wrestling podcast of all time. In depth first hand knowledge of the game and history of the game. Chemistry is underrated and you dudes are a 50 ft high motherfxking bunsen burner. Don’t stop.

    Been a fan since 2007
    It’s my favorite wrestling podcast. Something about these 2 together works. It’s great that the show is back to the DT&KC Show in 2024

    Real talk
    A real talk pro wrestling talk show. What a concept in 2022.
  • Wrestling Rumblings
    Used to be fun
    I’ve been listening to this show since the Minority Report days. Back then while it was chaotic it was fun, however it was the first sign that Deblasi doesn’t play well with others. Whether it was Joey 9:24 who he still takes shots at to this day, Frank Goodman, Kevin Castle and now Anthony “Missionary” Thomas. While it’s great that Deblasi has seemingly got some financial opportunities doing this it just shows that some people pay for anything. I know he will read this as he reads everything even though he acts like he is above it. Kind of like his whole deal with Twitter. The guy says every month he is off that yet posts all the time, gets into useless twitter wars and then complains that the wrestling community at large doesn’t acknowledge him. Maybe that’s because your a 50 year old blow hard.

    Awesome Podcast

    DT
    Been following DT for years very entertaining and always on point with his take always enjoy his program keep up the good work.
  • dstrohmeng
    I’ll admit…
    DT gets things right a lot of the time. The issue is that he’ll never let anyone forget he got it right.
  • NateDawgHQ

    I love DT! He is entertaining, funny, classy and a great storyteller. A must listen for wrestling fans!
  • Official_TrevorAllen
    Missing The Kevin Castle Effect
    Kev made this podcast tolerable due to the constant rambling of Don Tony. Now it’s just the forced nicks names of DT, the annoying voices he always does and him calling out “goofy podcasters” he even blocked me on Twitter for agreeing with Kev and his brother on a COVID-19 subject. Dude is legit childish. Cancel DON TONY
  • Jeremy Westbrook
    Found DT off hand
    I love podcast and wrestling podcast. Like almost every one who starts listen to a mainstream person, Sam Roberts or WhatCulture, but they don’t have the facts. DT has the facts, someone was posting clips of his audio on YouTube. And then he said he was doing a show. He should of been on YouTube sooner and/or should be on more major platforms. Doesn’t curse much, which makes sense covering a family friendly product, so he’s great to listen to in the house with whoever there. My girlfriend like listening to.
  • NYC34-7 Light it up
    Ugh
    To Much personal talk to fill up time. For what. Get to the point and end the show ...
  • Ginwu515
    Bad move booting Kev
    Kevin Castle to me was a big part of the show. Now that DT has given the boot to KC it’s just not the same. I have probably listen to the show 10 years+ and now probably just gonna stick with wrestling soup only.
  • Mike Aaron
    Edit 9/1/2020 i give up.
    I’ve been listening to this show for longer than I want to admit. I want to say 15 years? It used to be fun. It used to be two people talking about wresting and the world. Now it’s a soapbox for DT to stroke his ego. And people keep feeding it. I’m done subscribing now that KC is off the show. It’s just a waste of time. ———— Original review starts here: Stop talking over your cohost. DT just wanted to hear himself talk. He speaks over KC ALL THE TIME. He reminds me of Moronie in that old movie Johnny Dangerously. Constantly butchering the English language using big words to try to sound smarter than he is. Now broadcasting YouTube he’s basically a shill for himself. Patreon fine I get it. I support a few shows there but I refuse to bother doing it with this guy. Notice that for shows where he has a co-host or feature KC you have to pay for them. Yet he puts out his own show on wed nights to stroke his ego. He used to cry cry cry about how expensive the hosting was.. yet he would do an extra show every week featuring himself talking about himself. I’ve tried to listen and I just can’t anymore.

    Don Tony is awesome
    Love his content great podcaster
  • Big Eddie cooooo
    Don Tony
    Love the show if DT wouldn’t brag so must about twenty years this and that. And DT let other people talk besides you!!!
  • NWABobbyMac
    Kev should be king of this Castle
    I only listen to the show if there is a substitute host; which doesn’t happen often. Kev is great! Kev has good points, solid opinions and well thought out ideas. When Draper or Misch are on the show, it is amazing! I will put up with Tony on a recap show, but only if there is a member of Wrestling Soup as part of the panel with Kev Castle.
  • Pnw_jobber
    Best in the biz!
    Don tony puts his heart into this and it shows.
  • Cambojimmy
    The Best!
    I have been a fan and regular listener to DT/KC for 6 years now. I live in Thailand so I rarely get to actually see Raw/Smackdown/NXT. I really enjoy listening to the shows and appreciate how much time and effort he puts into each episode. I also appreciate that there is a lot of free content as I am unable to join the patreon. For anyone who really loves wrestling I would highly recommend the DT/KC show. An easy 5 star rating. Always a step above the rest. Thanks again DT for the countless hour’s of entertainment!
  • Jaseoner82
    Update
    I had to redo my previous review of the show I gave one star. After sticking with the show for a few years you get a sense of who these dudes are. It seemed DT was going to through a lot of pain due to medical issues and it came out on show which made it tough to listen to. As well as the nonstop pointing out whenever he said something right and comparing himself to goofy podcasters. Now that’s all toned down it’s better because I really enjoy his takes on the state of wrestling. He knows what he’s talking about and makes logical points.
  • roofer mike
    Worth a listen
    I appreciate the honest and candid opinions of everything in the wrestling bubble. I don’t agree with everything they say but that whole bit covering teddy hart and Maria and the “table weed” had me laughing so hard I teared up. Top 5 wrestling podcast imo
  • MalikIslands
    DTKC is great!!
    DT is the goat
  • TKA25
    The Millennial company
    The idea that there’s ANYTHING wrong with Nyla Rose competing for the first AEW Women’s title is preposterous and downright stupid. You can suspend your disbelief for an undead wizard, a “fiend” in a Halloween mask and a demented pyromaniac dentist, but a trans woman is where you draw the line? Size, athleticism and all of that mean nothing in wrestling. All that matters is who the writer decides is winning that night. Also, to single out Aubrey Edwards, the ref, is stupid. She’s one of the best refs they have, and is the standout referee they have. They’ve said they want their refs to have characters and be part of the stories. I was looking for All Out reviews, so this was my first episode of this podcast, and I’m happy to say I’ll never listen to another.
  • Hb662
    My first wrestling podcast
    I love the show.... is it perfect no. Is there too much political discussion? Maybe. I think that’s because both dt and kc lean the same way. Overall I just have minor suggestions for improvement, one schedule your commercial breaks it.. the way it’s done now disrupts the flow of the conversation. Secondly, the interruptions need to be cut back. I know and love DTs passion but when he cuts off or interjects KC it doesn’t look good. Especially when it’s to respond to trolls on discord. That’s my feedback hope you guys appreciate it... oh one suggestion for segments maybe once a month if you guys can reflect on a ppv/storyline/ or match for the month I know dt does this week in wrestling history but I love the stories about family and friends (going to a show, sleepovers) things like that.
  • Sewerat1978
    Best wrestling podcast
    There are tons of wrestling podcasts out there. I’ve been a loyal DT&KC fan since 08. Since then, this has been my favorite podcast. Both DT and KC are very funny and insightful. This is a must listen podcast for me!
  • LOD23
    Great show
    DT and Kev are good guys and they put on a great show.
  • Notsoslimanymore
    Love the show but...
    It’s obvious DT is a far right conservative. And thats okay. My problem with the show is that DT doesnt give his cohost a chance to state his opinion before he has to interject his own. The show is good. Just STOP OVER-TALKING YOUR COHOST. We enjoy the point/counterpoint you guys have. But when DT gets passionate, KC wont be able to get a word in. Take this as advice please. Not hate
  • RataTatPa7
    Only man to crush Meltzer re: cutting off co-host
    Needs more Kevin Castle. Don Tony’s opinions are worthless, yet he interjects them (when sucking air upon finally shutting up), over hisco-host who is VASTLY more intelligent and likeable than Tony. Heres hoping Kevin Castle cuts the fat and ventures off on his own. He may not have the tupical “radio voice”, but he blows Tony away and need not hug his nuts. Venture out on your own, bud. Tony is holding you back.
  • TexasBigDog
    Sad. Way better choices out there.
    Pretty clear DT doesn’t want nor can work with a co host. The show is constant plugs and references to past experiences that no one cares about. DT used to be at least a little funny but now sounds old and desperate to be right, while Kevin is just a mark and has no business even being a guest on a podcast. Overall a VERY tough listen unless you wanna hear two “fans” complain and give tons of useless opinions, which at the very least aren’t even entertaining.
  • Russell Boulware
    Great Show
    Been listening for eight years and the show is always awesome. Two awesome guys that are always entertaining.
  • kentertaining
    Three Year Fan
    I started the show mostly just loving Kev's takes and not listening to DT's views at first, but overtime I was convinced he was trying to present all his viewpoints from a fair and balanced viewpoint about both wrestling and off wrestling viewpoints. He can fairly back up everything he says and he will make you think deep.
  • Pbens21
    Too much self promotion
    Been a listner since ‘12. Started off as a cool/real/funny wrestling recap. Now all it has become is a self-absorbing, talk show to try and get paid subscribers. Very little wrestling talk and mainly just clap back from listeners. Used to look foreword to a monday night podcasr now would rather listen to brendan schaubs game of thrones thoughts....aka truely sad. A once cool weekly talk show turned into sh#t.
  • Eazy E the conquerer
    6 years
    Been listening for about 6 years now huge fan of KC and DT not so much when they have full ins but when it’s them two it’s a quality show
  • Monte Morris
    Listening since 2008
    I don't watch wrestling as much as I used to but Don Tony, Kevin Castle (and Mish) keep me in the loop and were always smart and entertaining. Outside of wrestling, they're views and comments on other things are interesting as well.
  • Orangekorn
    Don Tony is a OG of Wrestling Podcasting.DTKC is a podcast you gotta checkout
    I have only missed a handful of shows since 2007 I remember when they decided to break away and cone up with the name “Don Tony and Kevin Castle Show” Don Tony shares his extremely unique,sometimes controversial, take on The current wrestling product.As the hears went on the quality of the show has improved tenfold thanks to Mish from Wrestling Soup and Kevin Castle using pro equipment. Awesome entertaining show you will love if you love Wrestling talk and more with some random humor DTKC is associated with another awesone podcast Wrestling Soup and The DTKC Fam are friends of the Solomonster Sounds Off podcast,another wrestling podcast I recommend. Don Tony is an OG of wrestling podcasting and goes back to the hotline days. If you decide to sogn up for their patreon you get tons ofnother shows assell as a tuesday show after smackdown and Kevs own show. I’m
  • Lamark83
    Hi
    Good podcast been listening since 2013
  • Guspiano
    Enjoy the Wrestling Talk
    Don Tony adds humor and wit to make an entertaining show. Kevin Castle makes the back and forth interesting with his own alternate opinions to ping pong back in this verbal joust of a great sounding podcast. I listen every week and it makes my commute to work bearable. Thanks guys for your efforts.
  • Caleb Young!
    Absolutely “F’N” amazing!
    These guys are probably the best wrestling related podcast out there! They don’t walk the corporate line and give PC Thoughts or Opinions, they give their honest to god thoughts! No matter who they piss of! They don’t report “news” unless they know it’s 100% accurate, they always give back to their fans and make them feel like one big family! I always go to them for wrestling news. I highly suggest becoming a patron, and donating $5.00 a month, you get way more than you expect from them! I could sit here all day and tell you how amazing the podcast is, but you should take a listen for yourself!!
  • HOWSTHESLOPES
    The best!
    Love this show. My absolute favorite wrestling podcast!Many people say bad things about this show but I can't agree with most of what is said. These guys are different from most other podcasts and aren't afraid to push the envelope of topics that is hard to talk about. If you're open minded enough you'll love this show!
  • LarryForever134
    Great Show!
    Aside from the children posting negative reviews, this show is very good. Don Tony is informative and funny and Kevin is a true wrestling historian. Be your own judge and give them a listen! I tune in every week. Also, check out A Guy Thing Podcast if you want to hear a little about wrestling but mainly a variety of things that are on guys and girls minds!
  • Agent 36
    Consistent and different.
    Been listening for years, don Tony and kevin are a good pair and put on a good show consistently. Keep going guys.
  • Itsallover16
    Too much conservative politics in my wrestling podcast.
    I used to listen to this show, but not any more. I love the wresting opinions, but I cannot stand hearing about the host’s love for Trump. I can’t stand the hosts trying to tell me how great trump and the right are. Other than that, the show was great. Maybe I’ll listen again sometime in the future.
