Kris & David are joined by Alan Counihan (@Alan4L) for the first part (of two) of this week's BTS, as we discuss the week that was July 7-13, 2004. This was a Patron-requested show, selected by CasualWayne, who we thank for his contribution. We lead off with Pro Wrestling NOAH running their first Tokyo Dome show, headlined by Kenta Kobashi vs. Jun Akiyama in one of the best matches of the era, and also featuring the first ever meeting between Keiji Mutoh & Mitsuharu Misawa, as they faced off in a tag team match. We also talk about Rusher Kimura's retirement, plus give a detailed rundown of every match on the show. We also go in depth on everything else in Japan, including the real stories of why Hiroshi Tanahashi didn't jump to All Japan in 2002 and the genesis of Dragon Gate, with information that very few even knew. Alan also joins us for the WWE section, where we talk about the Vengeance PPV featuring the Evolution/Eugene angle, as well as Raw & SmackDown that week. Raw also includes the beginning of the Diva Search, which would become (in)famous for many reasons.

We also talk about the Tokyo Sports Awards in Japan and the extremely political nature of them, as well as Dave Meltzer experiencing T2P for the first time and all the other Japanese news and results. We also talk about the extremely fun lucha libre scene at the time and all kinds of U.S. indie results, including Shinya Hashimoto defending the NWA World Heavyweight Title in a very intimate setting in Pennsylvania, before closing with updates on the post-WCW startup promotions such as the WWA & XWF.

Today's PWTorch Dailycast is a special bonus episode of what is normally a VIP exclusive, Sean Radican's "Radican Worldwide" program, a show that - as the title suggests - focuses on pro wrestling outside of the United States. His guest cohost for this episode is Alan Counihan, known as "Alan4L" from another PWTorch Podcast, "ProWres Paradise." In this episode, they begin with an overview of each block. Alan then gives his in-depth preview of the entire tournament with suggestions on how fans daunted by the schedule should break up their viewing. Radican then gives his in-depth look at the big matches he’s looking forward to seeing from Jon Moxley and Jeff Cobb. The show concludes with a discussion of the storylines that are likely to play out and each block, as well as predictions for who will be in the mix at the end and possible winning scenarios.
The 5 Star Match Game returns with an episode dedicated to Pro Wrestling Guerrilla! Alan Counihan returns to take on Sarah and Emma from the brand new PWG podcast Journey Through Guerrilla Island. Alan is late, Spanish is attempted, and someone cuts a promo on Davey Richards. Another nail-biter that goes down to the wire!

Alan also joins us for the WWE section, where we talk about the Vengeance PPV featuring the Evolution/Eugene angle, as well as Raw & SmackDown that week. Raw also includes the beginning of the Diva Search, which would become (in)famous for many reasons.

Kris & David are joined by Alan Counihan (@Alan4L) to discuss Part 2 of the week that was April 1-7, 2006 in a show that Alan requested as part of his $100 donation through our Patreon. Part 2 consists of us talking about everything non-WWE during our week, including all the news and results from Japan, like New Japan's serious financial issues at the time. We also talk about Chris Jericho dabbling in Manitoba politics, the death of Victor Quinones, some wild indie shows, and, of course Alan's favorite part of the show: The IWA Mid-South and Ring of Honor portion of WrestleMania Weekend, featuring one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. Alan was tremendous with us, and if you are a fan of this era of wrestling, then this show is a CAN’T-MISS!!!!

Kris & David are joined by Alan Counihan (@Alan4L) to discuss Part 1 of the week that was April 1-7, 2006, a show that Alan requested as part of his $100 donation through our Patreon. Part 1 consists of us going over all the major talking points and happenings surrounding WrestleMania XXII. We also cover RAW & Smackdown after Mania, including how they were presented in this era, which is different from what they would be like years later. We also talk about the crazy happenings surrounding the Hall of Fame ceremony, like somebody “forgetting” to invite most of the Guerrero family and Bret Hart flying home the morning after his induction in lieu of appearing at WrestleMania. Plus we also talk about Ohio Valley Wrestling and what was going on there, as well.. Really damn good stuff, and make sure you don't forget to listen to part 2, as well!!!
