I find Austin's great for big guests and Q&A's, Colt's great for the 'lesser knowns' or people with nothing to lose (ie Punk) but Taz has really impressed me.
So far with Taz there are no real adverts, and he sounds enthused a lot of the time. I also like that he busts out 'small' podcasts straight after big news or PPV's, as it gives a sense of him wanting to do it rather than sticking to a weekly roatation.

I'd say Colt still has the best, though there's a ton of his guests I don't care about/flat-out hate.
Austin would be a close second. He has way too many "Ask me a question" episodes and his episodes without guests can get kinda redundant. I also loathe the episodes he has with Tim Fowler (I think that's his name). For whatever reason, I think that guy comes across as a total douche. Those minor gripes aside, he has a great podcast.
Jim Ross's podcast was okay for a while, but he's definitely shown what a shill/whore he is. The Dixie Carter episode made me unsubscribe. He should publicly apologize for that one.
I haven't heard a lot of the rest of those, but from what I have, stay away from Jericho, Goldberg, and Piper. I'm a big fan of all three guys, but I didn't enjoy their shows at all.

Steve Austin-Great and usually has a decent guest Chris Jericho- Good but great when he has a guest I am interested in. Jim Ross- Good because I like hearing back stage stories when he was in power. Roddy Piper- Okay Jim Cornette- When he doesn't try to insult people who do not have his same views about two thing we can not discuss on this broad then he is okay. Tazz- Never heard Bill Goldberg- Boring, I want to hear about wrestling. Jesse Ventura- His and mine political views are a lot different, doesn't talk about many other things. Kevin Sullivan- I did not know he has a podcast Kevin Kelley- I did not know he has a podcast. Colt Cabana- Good, but only will listen when he has a guest that I want to hear about like Punk. Michael Bennett and Maria- I did not know they have a podcast Konnan- Never listen to it. Vince Russo- I only heard his podcast with RD. I think he made good points and won the debate with the Real Deal. Bullet Club- Not sure what this is.

Colt's is my favorite because it just feels really organic and I find that to be one of the most important aspects in the podcasts I like. Also I really like when he talks to guys I've never heard of as it gives me a new perspective on wrestling. The other thing is when he talks to one of the big shots is that he asks them about parts of their careers that not many people ask questions about

Steve Austin - The best, always entertaining, only thing I'd say that gets a smidge repetitive is how many times he says its Pro Wrestling and not Sports Entertainment, while I do agree, I don't want to hear it every time, I didn't hear it though this week, so good job steve! Chris Jericho- The interviews are usually always solid......but the first 10-20 minutes can sometimes be the most cringeworthy stuff ever, and now he spent money on making it even more professional....ie worse with actual songs for the intro and other stuff. Stop trying with the morning zoo esque crap, I'd say I also dont care about his kids, but that I can understand at least. Jim Ross- Really depends, usually the interview can be good, unless hes in kiss ass mode like he was with dixie, I hate when he puts down potential critics when he knows what he is saying will probably get some negative reponses. Also I CRINGE so bad when he tried any humor or impersonation, I will not download the terry funk interview just because I cant do it, I can not hear his horrible terry funk impersonation. Roddy Piper- I really like pipers, mainly because hes just himself, does he come off as a rambling old man sometimes? sure but hes entertaining, I dont even mind, pipers great. Jim Cornette- It can be good, but theres a good amount of stuff that led me to stop listening, the female on it is horrible, any political/religion crap I cant stand, especially since his view just has to be right and anyone who doesnt share the same views as him must be idiots. Tazz- Actually pretty good, I need to check out more episodes. Bill Goldberg- Easily one of the worst, one time he had wrestling questions, he clearly doesnt know how to screen questions or dont want to answer much since 90% of them was about the dumb streak ending. Jesse Ventura- When its about wrestling great, I respect his political views too, but I see hes not on Podcast One anymore, but it still exists somewhere. Kevin Sullivan- I did not know he has a podcast Kevin Kelley- I really like Kevin Kellys, highly recommend it, helps that his producer is good too. Colt Cabana- Not bad, I like his style only listen to guests I know Michael Bennett and Maria- I did not know they have a podcast Konnan- Never listen to it. Vince Russo- Horrible, now its gone im guessing. Bullet Club- Not sure what this is.

I'm the outlier that voted for Jessie. All of the other ones on the list that I like I tend to just fast forward to the interview part.

Lance Storm, no contest. No tacky sponsors or any sense of being a hack shill. I don't necessarily agree with him on everything but i love hearing his perspective on things.

I just tried to listen to Cornette and god damn its hard to get though a whole episode. I basically had to skip the first 15 minutes because it was just him talking to his female cohost who is just uninteresting. The interviews themselves are pretty good but it really is starting to feel that Cornette is stuck in a different era and its cringe worthy sometimes

I actually thought about including him, but what prevented me is that Storm does not actually have his own show. He is on every other week as a guest with Alvarez and he appears on pretty much every other podcast of note semi-regularly. He has done interviews with Cornette, JR, Austin, Jericho, and even smaller shows such as Bennett (whom he had the ROH feud with) and freakin Ed in San Antonio from F4W.
