    Great interviews
    This guy knows how to interview a guest and get them to talk about things. You don’t normally hear. He can come off a tad full of himself at times, but given the experiences he’s describing when I feel this way. It’s totally understandable. He lives a pretty cool life, but I’d probably be bragging about as well.

    I love the show and am always excited to see who’s gonna be next. I’m grateful that you take time outta your busy day to put this altogether for us listeners. Thank you CVV

  • J Gravel
    New Favorite Show
    I started seeing clips of interviews on social media and found myself clicking on all of them. Started listening to the full interviews and got hooked immediately. I love hearing behind the scenes stories and getting to understand the workers and not just the character. It helps see a lot of these guys and gals in a different way. Going back now to try and get caught up.

    Just a Thank you!
    Started a new job and it has been a struggle learning something new after being at my last job for 16 years. Ever since I’ve started in November of 2024 I have listened to every episode and they get me through everyday. Thank you for always being positive. I always look forward to hearing everyone’s 3 things to be grateful for. I have started doing that almost everyday and it truly does help. Especially when I am not known for being the most positive person. Thanks again, a true real real one. -Jimmy

    The absolute best!
    CVV is the best! I love how it is always such a fluid conversation where guests feel comfortable sharing things that they never have before. Even with people who get interviewed all the time like The Undertaker, Stone Cold or Rey Rey
  • Kalloo1300
    The best
    I’m always listening to CVV whenever I’m working or in the gym doing some cardio. He is very professional, really listens and stays in tune with what his guest shares. Hands down an awesome guy to chat wrestling with.

    Chris gives us a new perspective with every interview, fun questions and fan interactions with his AskCVV episodes, which are awesome by the way. I listen to this while I’m working and I get to hear new things about the wrestlers/actors that I love watching.
  • MattWynne45
    Simply the Best
    Love the genuineness that CVV interviews his guest. I have laughed out loud. I have teared up. I have had life improving moments thinking about “the three things I am grateful for right now”. Keep it up CVV from a hopeful Real Real One
  • dpwcotx
    Thanks
    As a dad of 8, I get the joy of fatherhood. I truly appreciate how you don’t guide the interviews to your beliefs and views. The fact that you let the strong faith based wrestlers showcase who they are and the ones who have a different perspective be who they are is refreshingly inspiring. God bless you and your family and your passion for the platform that brings all walks of life together.

    Chris is the real deal! His show is fun and it's educational. Not only is he an expert host, he genuinely loves what he is doing and always makes his guest's happy. I always learn something new every episode. Also as a sneakerhead I love seeing his epic shoe game! Highly recommend the Insight Podcast! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👟 👟👟👟👟

    Lady Real-One!
    Heyy CVV! As a 32 year old single mom to 3 boys under 5 who are also addicted to wrestling I love tuning in when I have downtime & just get lost in all of your content. Not only are you a fountain of information, you are so elegantly spoken. You really know how to captivate your audience & keep them hanging around. You truly are the best interviewer & I look forward to your episodes every single weeks! Keep up the good work & stay being you always. Thank you from myself, the 5 year old, the 4 year old, & the 2 year old. Best wishes to you & your family! -Real 1 out ✈️

    Yo I think this would be a great Idea to have Cora Jade on the show and how she feels on her release and what she looks forward to her future career
  • Sir Neema
    SOLID
    To the point, in depth conversations, industry updates, a touch of humanity. CVV pod is the total package.
  • _Jon C.
    Easy to recommend!
    It’s easy to recommend this podcast to anyone that wants to improve themselves or learn about great people. CVV does a great job in every interview and it shows that he genuinely cares others!
  • Mr. Shiffer
    Essential listening for any wrestling fan
    Anyone who claims to be a fan of WWE or AEW needs to hear this. Even beyond those two companies, if you love pro wrestling, this is your one stop shop for news. I appreciate Chris for also being a fantastic personality to punctuate the news and insight (haha) with a magnetic personality.
  • EricMaloney
    The Best Podcast Out There
    Not just a great wrestling podcast, but the absolute best podcast out there. The interview style, personality, energy, and overall presentation of the podcast makes it easy for wrestling fans & non-wrestling fans alike to listen and be swept into a great show! Chris and his team clearly go out of their way to think about the audience in every aspect.
  • C Cubed89

    I came across a clip of Insight on TikTok or YouTube and decided to check out the show. Over a year later and I still tune in every week, even when it may be a guest I’m not particularly interested in. CVV not only got my attention, he’s made me pay attention to wrestling again. I may not watch every week but I’m able to keep up with current events. Coming from a WCW kid (36 now) it’s nice to see some interviews with my childhood favorites. This show has also introduced me to newer wrestlers like Karrion Kross. Chris, thank you for bringing back something I thought I threw away. P.S. I hope you land an interview with Steve Borden.
  • Dutch90987
    Can’t Miss Podcast
    I look forward to Chris’s podcasts each week. His interviews are insightful and instead of just a q&a interview it feels like two friends sitting down to chat.
  • ConnorP.
    Easy, Interesting and Entertaining
    If you’re looking for a pod that isn’t just a sit and talk but one that’s planned methodically to deliver the most substance, this is for you. Chris does an outstanding job of connecting with each guest making for a fun, easy listen every time.
  • Jim 9375
    Great podcast!
    If you like wrestling, you will love this podcast.
  • paintrain4za
    Excellent show
    Big fan of the show. Love the positivity and love how you interact with wrestlers/celebrities. Such a natural ability of communicating and makes the show enjoyable to listen/watch. Love the Will Sasso interviews. Seems like 2 buddies just talking wrasslin. I was cracking up as you were with all the impressions he was doing.
  • primooangel
    Great guy great podcasts
    met him in real life when he was busy and in his hotel and he still gave me a minute to talk and took a pic
  • Imakathefuture
    The best
    You are the best interviewer. You let your guests steer the conversation in a certain direction and just let them speak their thoughts while asking really good. Follow up questions. I’m a newer listener, but I look forward to the podcast every time a new episode is posted.
  • ViniSaka
    Thank you!
    I just became a real over a year ago, THANK YOU so much for getting me back into wrestling! I’m a delivery driver and your podcast always gets me through the day. Because of you I look forward to watching Raw or Smack Down!
  • Jesus saves 1975
    Wrestling fans stop here.
    Chris has the best guests and gives the best interviews. It’s like you’re a fly on the wall listening to a couple of friends have a conversation.

    Best wrestling pod cast.
    Chris’ work is always inspiring and insightful pun intended.
  • Kevo923
    Definitely my favorite
    Chris truly brings insight to the wrestling world through his questions and commentary on whatever he is discussing regarding Pro Wrestling as a whole. I love listening to Chris because a lot of what he says I agree with or can at least see the benefit of it. I just want to listen to him interview everyone he can at this point to hear about wrestling behind the scenes without terribly destroying kayfabe.

    Great Strategy!
    I love how he structures his interviews. I learn so much about every guest he has, about their personal life and their careers. Super great coverage and really nice voice to listen to!!!!
  • Boodronis
    New Real Real One
    I’ve been listening now faithfully since a few weeks before Rumble. Saw some clips on Tik Tok and when I finally started listening to the full podcast had to go back and listen to several previous episodes because I’ve found my people. Love this show and I love wrestling. Thank you Chris for bringing a new level of depth to something I have been already enjoying for over 40 years.

    One of the best wrestling podcasts out there!!
  • GnGMemphis
    Power of Positivity
    It’s hard to exist on a social media platform without coming across a clip of CVV, but I finally listened to a whole episode a few months ago when he had one of my favorite wrasslers on the show. Since then, I haven’t missed many new ones. In a world of negative, Inside with CVV is one of the few shows that tells great stories, even the rough ones, and still keeps it on the sunny side. On top of that, I’ve adopted Chris’s habit of counting 3 things I’m grateful for every morning (haven’t made it to bedtime yet), and I gotta say it has made a difference in the day-to-day.
  • soss house
    Big fan of the show keep it up CVV.
    Big fan of the show your podcast has gotten me even more closer to wrestling more then ever and my three thing I am grateful are my life, my family and friends.
