    King VV
    CVV is awesome. Always brings positivity and never bases his interviews off gossip or hearsay. Strikes a nice balance between humanizing the wrestler while still keeping them in character. Also, dude has had a crazy run so far in 2025. Good job, Chris

    Passion & Enthusiasm
    CVV has more passion enthusiasm than any podcast in the game currently. You feel it in every word he says, and every question he asks. This is by far the only podcast I can hear from beginning to end and I’m hooked every single second. CVV is the staple of wrestling podcasting.

    Toxic Positivity
    I can’t finish an episode when I’m inundated with toxic positivity and survivor’s bias. Ixnay all that nonsense and just stick with the wrestling.

    Chris really knows how to get wrestlers to open up and be vulnerable. It’s a very learned, yet natural skill that truly shines.

    Must Listen!
    This is such a great show. I consider myself a newborn real real one. I’ve been listening for about 6 months and the show is in my must listen list each week. I enjoy Ask CVV as much, if not more, than the interviews. Especially the Friday before a PLE!

  • Jacob Rudolf
    First time
    I have been a fan for over a year now, and I am going back and forth between the new stuff you post and the old stuff you post, have you been the one interviewed on anything lately, minus being on takers. If you have can we see more of these. And congrats on bbvv, love the podcast

    Recommended Listening
    As a 41 year old and a child of the Attitude Era, I’ve found myself keeping a distance from wrestling over the last few decades. But over the last years I’ve regained quite the interest again, it’s actually become a safety blanket of sorts. As a kid I watched wrestling with my dad (Razor Ramon was our favorite), one of our few shared interests. He was a car guy and I was a nerd. I now live states away from my dad and neither of us had watched in a very long time. He still doesn’t, but for me, the one thing that brought me back was Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kevin Owens at Wrestlemania 38. I guess seeing Austin and McMahon in a ring together again, and as bad as that stunner was, something unlocked and once Peacock took on all of the WWE content, I started rewatching everything from 1995, including every PPV I had never seen. Slowly, I started watching PLEs and eventually I started watching weekly. Call it nostalgia, but after the whole McMahon saga ended I was fully back In. I have a son, he’s 6 and autistic and couldn’t care less about watching, he does shout “WWE” when the logo pops up and we have matching Austin 3:16 and NWO shirts. Anyways, long story longer, when I started back into WWE I started listening to podcasts about weekly shows but mostly listening for the behind the scenes, non kayfabe side of wrestling. The thing I appreciate most about wrestling is the brother and sister-hood of the wrestlers and podcasts like Insight with CVV really digs into that side of wrestling. Chris has really great interviews and most importantly, he cares about the craft. And to be honest, his positivity is sort of effecting me. As much as we continue to move forward, it’s nice to go back once in a while.

    I absolutely love listening to insight with CVV. I have been religiously listening since 2019 and am always blown away by your interviews. You make sure to do your research and ask questions people actually want to know. You always keep me entertained and excited for the next episode. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come and excited to see what’s next.

    Big fan of Ali. Listened for that reason. Chris let’s his guests tell their stories with just being heard enough asking questions at the appropriate time. Keep up the good work man, looking forward to listening to the Cena one.

    House show vs tv spot
    Hey Chris! With your vast experience of attending shows I was wondering. I’ve only been to live events that were televised. Smackdowns, Raw, and Summerslam when It came to Detroit in 2023. My lovely wife got tickets for my birthday for the holiday live tour at the very end of the year coming to the legendary Little Caesars Arena. What can I expect as someone who’s never seen an unaired house show? Love the show! Always staying Grateful!!

    Question: Could a wrestling style docu-drama comedy filmed in the style of The Office be successful?
  • sdvalentine2010
    CVV is MVP
    CVV is the best interviewer. I appreciate the style at which he interviews the talent where you can see what’s going on with their character storylines but more so genuinely opens the door to see into the real world of the person behind the character. As a lifelong wrestling fan I appreciate the angles and genuine interviews that CVV provides as a big wrestling fan. Great, quality, and insightful interviews. The only one I listen to. Thanks CVV!
