In our latest episode of Alan4L's ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L brings you the first show of a month-long celebration of Korakuen Hall, Japan's mecca of professional wrestling. With the help of Mark Buckledee and Kieran Lefort, Alan explores what makes the 5th floor of a nondescript Tokyo office building holy ground for fans and wrestlers alike. The guys discuss their personal memories of attending Korakuen, what makes the venue so special and so perfect for the wrestling experience (live and on tape), and detail some classic matches and moments in its history. Whether it's an underdog story, an outsider/inter-promotional match, or a wild brawl, Korakuen finds a way to amplify the experience. Nearly two and a half hours of discussion, and plenty more in the holster for the rest of the month! Check it out.

Weekend shows will be covered here on the free feed, but John will bring even more daily coverage of the weekday shows exclusive to the Patreon, including with returning guests too! The Patreon right now has our coverage of AJPW Champion Carnival Night 3 from Tuesday 9/15 and the opening night of the NOAH N-1 Victory from Friday 9/19, and will continue this week with a ton more exclusive shows, including G1 Climax reviews on Wednesday and Thursday! Don't miss out on a single minute of our great coverage- sign up for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ( http://www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) ! And don't forget that you'll get all of our other audio too- our recently compete series talking every Naito-Ishii match in order, our Pateon-exclusive 5 Matches episodes with a whole load of guests (Rich Kraetsch! Alan4L! Todd Martin! Chris Samsa! And more!), ANIME OMAKASE, and a whole lot more. Check it out again at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ( http://www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) ! John is joined by first time guest and VOW contributor Harley Duncan, who's coming to us from the other side of the world. Harley introduces himself and talks about getting into both wrestling in general and Japanese wrestling in particular, which leads to a larger discussion of various jumping in points that are common to NJPW fans in the West (and what might make new fans in Japan). Once that's out of the way we turn our full attention to the first two nights of G1 Climax 30, discussing all ten tournament matches in detail. Major topics that come up include why the interference from Jay White didn't bother us this time, the Okada "working vs. washed" debate, whether or not this current Okada storyline is even all that interesting or well laid out so far, Juice Robinson's wacky new gear (and really new gear talk for a bunch of wrestlers), and of course the absolutely outstanding main event between Naito and Tanahashi. We also look ahead to the upcoming Nights 3 & 4 in the G1 as well, which again will be covered exclusively on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ). After we're done with the G1 we head over to NOAH for Night 2 of the N-1 Victory, a kind of sleepy night of just pretty good action. We break down all four tournament matches plus the two non-tournament ones, including the very surprising result in an eight-man tag team match. Afterward we look ahead to what should be a much better N-1 show for NOAH, Tuesday's Korakuen (also covered exclusively on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) !).

Don't miss out on a single minute of our great coverage- sign up for just $5 per month at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ( http://www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) ! And don't forget that you'll get all of our other audio too- our recently compete series talking every Naito-Ishii match in order, our Pateon-exclusive 5 Matches episodes with a whole load of guests (Rich Kraetsch! Alan4L! Todd Martin! Chris Samsa! And more!), ANIME OMAKASE, and a whole lot more. Check it out again at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ( http://www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) ! John is joined by first time guest and VOW contributor Harley Duncan, who's coming to us from the other side of the world. Harley introduces himself and talks about getting into both wrestling in general and Japanese wrestling in particular, which leads to a larger discussion of various jumping in points that are common to NJPW fans in the West (and what might make new fans in Japan). Once that's out of the way we turn our full attention to the first two nights of G1 Climax 30, discussing all ten tournament matches in detail. Major topics that come up include why the interference from Jay White didn't bother us this time, the Okada "working vs. washed" debate, whether or not this current Okada storyline is even all that interesting or well laid out so far, Juice Robinson's wacky new gear (and really new gear talk for a bunch of wrestlers), and of course the absolutely outstanding main event between Naito and Tanahashi. We also look ahead to the upcoming Nights 3 & 4 in the G1 as well, which again will be covered exclusively on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ). After we're done with the G1 we head over to NOAH for Night 2 of the N-1 Victory, a kind of sleepy night of just pretty good action. We break down all four tournament matches plus the two non-tournament ones, including the very surprising result in an eight-man tag team match. Afterward we look ahead to what should be a much better N-1 show for NOAH, Tuesday's Korakuen (also covered exclusively on the Patreon ( http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase ) !).

It will kick off this coming week with Patreon-exclusive coverage of AJPW Champion Carnival Night 3 on Tuesday 9/15 and the opening night of the NOAH N-1 Victory on Friday 9/18, and will continue the following week with exclusive NJPW G1 Climax coverage as well!

Once again you can check it all out for only $5 at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase! John is joined by returning guest Gerard Di Trolio (@GerardDiTrolio) as we tackle all the major tournaments going on at once in men's puro! We start out with an extensive preview of the 30th edition of NJPW's G1 Climax: first, we break down all twenty participants in both blocks and if we think they have any chance to advance to the final or win the entire tournament. There's at least one wrestler here I think a lot of English-language podcasts are missing the boat on, and we discuss it in detail. Then we break down the cards for all 18 tournament shows and each give a most anticipated match of the night, and at least a few of the picks might surprise you. Once we're done with that we turn our attention to the AJPW Champion Carnival, which got underway this past weekend. Gerard and John discuss a surprisingly underwhelming opening two nights of the tournament, although they don't quite agree on HOW underwhelming. We break down all the tournament matches in detail and talk a little about the undercard tags as well. We wrap up that segment with a look ahead to night 3 on Tuesday featuring a big Kento-Ashino showdown. Finally, we wrap up the show with a short preview of the NOAH N-1 Victory, as we break down the wrestlers in each block and who has the best chance of winning, plus talk about a few matches we're excited for. We then look ahead to their opening night on Friday 9/18, previewing the four tournament matches. It's a packed show full of tournament action, this week!

John and Sean then get into breaking down each and every match across both nights, including the underwhelming NJC final, the awesome NEVER & IWGP Tag Title matches from Dominion, and finally the already controversial double title match. John also discusses why some of the takes on Naito-EVIL have really missed the mark, especially the ones about a supposed lack of crowd heat.

This week, Alan4L and Will Cooling join to talk about the moment where New Japan, Ring of Honor, and WWE had participants in a match at once - the Elite (Bucks and Omega) vs. British Strong Style (Pete Dunne, Trent Seven, and Tyler Bate) from Good Friday 2017 in Fight Club Pro. The trio then talk a little about UK/Irish politics, the importance of separating a happening vs. a moment in wrestling, and then Rich and Will spend time breaking down Bruce Mitchell's Ubermensch theory, and a really intriguing chat on the importance of mental health - and how wrestling can be a respite if you get out of your own way.

On this week's episode we take a look at the 5 factors that made the 1992 AJPW Match of the Year between Kento Kobashi & Tsuyoshi Kikuchi and The Can-Am Express so specialSpecial thanks to @Hi5ame, Alan4L, Jamesie & Katt for their help See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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.
