Jim usually gets less than 50k views for his videos. To put that in context, John Silver has 57k views for recreating a scene from The Sandlot with Marko Stunt. He gets comparable numbers of viewers to the comedy engineering podcast Well There's Your Problem. He's already nobody.

Even looking at google search data yeah he had the huge boost for Double or Nothing but since then interest has been declining, getting little boosts here and there.

Yeah, he just lives rent free in all our heads like he did with his mom until she died. While someone more interesting would probably get traffic, it's not like repeatedly calling Penelope a whore or Kenny a pedophile is even a take. It's just sad, even by shock jock standards, poo poo. There's no nuance to any of his reviews or arguments, it's just him yelling it's bad and insulting people who actually have jobs.

All wrestling adjacent podcasts are sponsored by bluechew because wrestlers love abusing prescription medications and having sex, so combining the two is a clear winner.

Didn't Ian hold a fundraising card for a kayfabe injury once? (Which is not to say he's worse than Cornette because I still strongly lean 'not.')

Ian's a wrestling promoter so trying to lionize him as a great human being is a futile task but he's got more skin in the game than Cornette does and mostly minds his own business.

They're both carnies, but they're very different. Jim is, of course, famously scorched earth over disagreements, but he's also shockingly honest when he's not shticking it up. (If nothing else, he's given us a tremendously improved understanding of historical wrestler pay scales.) He's still a carny, but more by way of his insistence on treating "getting heat" as a barometer of anything in the real world. And because that's how he's been viewing his self-worth, it's resulted in him becoming a lot more outright viscerally hated by fans and wrestlers alike the last couple years. Ian is much more of a surface carny, but whose carniness is lovable in a weird way. For example, he and Dave Prazak had a pretty ugly split years ago after Ian booked a maatch that was seemingly designed just to undermine Prazak, Jimmy Jacobs, and B.J. Whitmer's jobs in Ring of Honor. (Specifically, he put Jacobs and Whitmer, the ROH champs, together as a team for the first time on an IWA show solely so he could job them out.) Yet they ended up friendly again a few years ago and Prazak has done commentary for IWA shows on occasion since then. Even though Ian didn't always provide the safest environment or most reliable payoffs, he's also provided a pretty fantastic learning atmosphere that helped shape a lot of careers. Since he's also a lot more easygoing than Jim is, all of that results in him probably being a lot less hated by wrestlers right now, at least.

Every early card I see from them read's like The Indies' Who's Who of the 00's. The women too, of course. Didn't Prazak start SHIMMER because he saw them come through IWA-MS and was like 'hey, there's enough women wrestlers to run a promotion?'
