There are seriously way too many of these damn things. And I am intentionally restricting this to people who have in some form or fashion been an on air talent in pro wrestling somehow, so no Meltzer, Keller, LAW, etc... Court Bauer was one I argued back and forth since he HAS worked high up in WWE, but never on air so it's like he feels more like he belongs in the category of Keller/Meltzer etc even though he obviously does have some inside experience that is far beyond theirs.
Side question: which podcasts are the dirt worst?
This could be a useful one stop shop for those looking to see what's worth checking out in the wrestler podcast world.
(edit, this would probably be better in wrest of wrestling--- sorry mods)

Austin is the only one I always listen to. (Jericho or JR if they have a guest I like). Austin's is always excellent even when he's just being weird and talking to himself. Could listen to him talk about the bizniss all day long.

Austin is ahead of the others by a mile. I love his style, even when he isn't talking about wrestling he is entertaining.
I also like the fact that during his live Q&A sessions, he actually sounds like he gives a damn about the fan calling in and takes the time to interact with them.

Austin
His voice and jive talk are hilarious.

Stone Cold, with JR a close second.
Austin's interviews with Heyman are ESSENTIAL listening if you are a wrestling fan or eventually want to get into the business.
On JR's end, he and Sheik were amazing as it was a serious Sheik instead of the ranting, yelling Sheik we've grown accustomed to since his HOF speech. An awesome listen as well.

Still Colt. He captures wrestlers' true personalities like nobody else.
Austin is second, he knows how to many any guest interesting and cuts through the jive to get the answers we want.
Jericho is third, entertaining guy when he's in his interviews, but the opening remarks are extreme hit and extreme miss.

The only one close to Austin's I've listened to is Jerichos. Don't like JRs. In fairness I haven't listened to a lot of them. Jerichos is quite good. Cobanas is fine.
I'm a mark but Austin is head and shoulders above the others I mentioned. It's great when he has guests, but its often just as great when its just Austin by himself telling ludicrous stories of fighting 200 pound rats or coming up with inventions. Very funny.

Also Jericho is funny and is a good interviewer but sometimes he becomes brutally unfunny and annoying in his opening skits and I don't care for his tales of drunkenness.

Talkin' Shop is the only one I consistently listen to.consistently. So the Good Brothers win for me.
Besides them, I'll pick and choose from Aistin, Jericho and JR. But I wouldn't listen to every episode from any of those.
I used to listen to Art of Wrestking, but it's too much of the same every week. Also those live episodes are tough to listen to.

JR is too non-commital and safe. You can hear quite clearly why he was such a pushover in WWE and why they constantly humiliated him. He also spends way too much time talking about sauce.

No matter what Austin is talking about, I'm interested and entertained. The PED taking rats, all that shit is awesome to me. The fact that I can listen to the man talk about eating hairy giraffe pussy and find it entertaining tells you how good Steve Austin is.
Number 2 is the Good Brothers at Talkin Shop. It's just a funny ass conversation, and with it only being 30 minutes I'm a bit disappointed when it's over.
I also listen to Jericho's and JRs, and they're good but they can both be pretty annoying at times. If I never hear Hibbidy Dibbidy or about ROH's lighting again, it'll be too damn soon. I also listen to Colts occasionally, and it's usually pretty good so I'll put him at number 3.

I don't listen to any of them regularly, but JR is the only one I've listened to multiple times. I get that Austin has a following but the whole hilarious redneck thing doesn't score any points with me.

Austin is the one host I am happy to listen through all his stories about killing rats and dealing with the alligator because he's such a funny, lovable guy. For someone that portrayed the most believable hard-ass in all of wrestling, he's a softie and it's great.
JR sounds like he's on NyQuil.
Jericho's is so bad. I can barely ever get through the intro. His impressions, cow bell singing and characters are the dirt worst. The interviews are good ... when you can get to them. And that's a task.
I actually think Taz makes a good podcaster. His shows have all been pretty solid, there's no bullshit filler, the interviews are interesting and the Taz Tales are pretty entertaining. He's a solid second for me.

It's pretty hard for me to look past that and see a lovable softie.

It's pretty hard for me to look past that and see a lovable softie. Yeah ... he did ... and it took me ages to look past that. People forgave him for it a lot faster than me. It's been a long time and there's no signs of a repeat offence - his wife is on the podcast often - so I think it's fine to forgive him at this point. It's a black mark on his career. That's for certain. But people can be forgiven if they show they deserve it.

Austin first, Jericho second, Cabana a distant third. I generally don't care for the non-interview sections of any of their shows, and Colt's show has been dire since he lost access to WWE talent.
I actually enjoy Jesse Ventura's podcast more than I expected.
As for worst, it's Russo. Even the senile, babbling Piper is better than him.

Austin's. It's an entertaining listen, no matter what.
JR never shuts the f*** up, I dunno why he bothers with guests.

Steve, even when he doesn't know whether to crap or wind his watch. I tend to skip some of his listener-based episodes if there's too many in a row. JR, when he has a guest I like, is good. (His interview with Victoria/Tara was fun.) Cornette has great guests and I can listen to him talk old school all day long. (The dude got Lance Russell! And it was good.)
Konnan has to be the worst. He's still tossing salads and peeling potatoes.
