    The Stiff Bois are here, mid Super Jnr tournament, to give an update on their teams, the key performers and stand out matches, and identify the stories they feel New Japan fans should be paying attention to as the tour moves into its most consequential stages. But before that, the lads dedicate 1 hour to kick off the pod, echoing the sentiments of Yota Tsuji, to give a state of the union address in the wake of a divisive Strong show, and confusing Gabe appearance, taking away much of the oxygen the updated Dominion card and unfolding BoSJ deserved.To join the Club or grab some merch to support the show.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thestiff.club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weworkstiff.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find and follow the show:On X / twitter@weworkstiffOn Instagraminstagram.com/weworkstiff/On Redditreddit.com/r/WeWorkStiff/On Youtubeyoutube.com/@weworkstiffEmail us atweworkstiff@gmail.comPlease Listen.

Then it's on to the Cup final and a deep discussion into the character parallels between the two men, the key distinction at the genesis which may determine their directions, and why so many still struggle with talk about these type of characters in pro wrestling; as the Stiff Bois proudly define what they think Observing Wrestling is.

But, after an eventful week for the show online, the Bois gather to explore the differing views on contemporary pro-wrestling through the lens of how they see pro-wresting.

    Was the juice worth the squeeze? The Stiff Bois discuss a controversial New Japan Cup, through the lens of House of Torture, to provide HoT takes on the different types of storytelling that aid the rise of pro wrestling characters; important concepts when considering the rise of Yota Tsuji. This is a shorter and more focused episode aimed at assessing if the ends justify the means when we the ends are Gene Blasting all over the arena in a classic style Cup Final; and what these means actually are in a conventional sense. Plus, we also talk Shota's inverse failure to Tsuji, Jack Perry working the sheets, why Goto is just the best (like, the best) and we outline "elevated House of Torture".

Whether its Akira's vulnerability, TJP's possible duplicity, Okhan's emerging Empire, Ospreay's absence, Cobbs Injury or Henares war, all sides of the Empire are discussed. Also, we talk ZSJ's goals for the year in New Japan and what this match with Danielson means, the changing dynamic between Okada and Tana as they battle one last time, how Hikuelo is tasking strides towards a future that we feel he could dominate, why Hair vs Hair makes the most sense for Yuya v Yota, and we start off by spending a lot of time gushing over Henare v Gabe Kidd in a war that reflected what New Japan can, and should, be.
