This week, STRIGGA & Dylan start the show talking about the new Hayabusa and from there discuss mask gimmicks in modern japanese pro wrestling including Tiger Mask and Mentai Kid. The biggest point of discussion on the show follows with Wrestling Dontaku, Resurgence and Best Of The Super Junior leaving their marks on New Japan Pro Wrestling in May leading up to Dominion in June. Hirooki Goto still carries the World Title, Yota Tsuji and Gabe Kidd battle for prime positioning and what about Callum Newman? More questions are asked with All Japan Pro Wrestling and their Champion Carnival. Who came out stronger? What about the Saitos and where is it all leading? This brings DRAGONGATE into the conversation as well with Madoka Kikuta turning to Z-Brats, U-T winning the Brave Gate and GOLD CLASS winning the services of Hyo. Finally, the Eastern Lariat team brings up OZAWA vs. Kaito Kiyomiya in Pro Wrestling NOAH that may or may not have an extra stipulation.  

Two continents, two shows and the search for uthentic top guys continues for New Japan Pro Wrestling. The Eastern Lariat looks back at Sakura Genesis and Windy City Riot including an incredible Tanahashi vs. Takeshita match, more discussions regarding Shota Umino and the question who could be headlining Dominion and who the G1 winner might be. After that, STRIGGA & Dylan turn to All Japan Pro Wrestling's Champion Carnival and the first two shows they had so far that saw some great matches – including Hideki Suzuki and Kento Miyahara. Other topics are Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura's Kakuto Tanteidan show, HEAT UP on YouTube, more build to Stardom's big show in Yokohama and finally DRAGONGATE's Korakuen from April 7 plus their build to Dead Or Alive on May 5.

The Eastern Lariat returns right before the final stage of the 2025 New Japan Cup with a look back at the tournaments' early rounds, an assessment of the overall tournament quality and where the roads might lead for some of the main players such as David Finlay and Shota Umino and for some up and coming talent like Drilla Moloney and Callum Newman. Besides the New Japan Cup, STRIGGA & Dylan also cover DRAGONGATE's Rey de Parejas tournament trying to figure out how the tournamen could lead to a new challenger for YAMATO. The third big chunk of the show is All Japan Pro Wrestling and their March series including the World Tag Team Title match between the Saitos and Business Tag and a great Junior Title match. The shhow concludes with a brief look at this past weekend's Cinderella Tournament final.

This is the 99th installment of the long form history of pro wrestling series by pro wrestling historian Karl Stern. In this chronological look at the history of pro wrestling, Karl is up to February 1984 which is infamous due to the shocking and unforeseen death of David Von Erich just before he was scheduled to begin a tour for All Japan Pro Wrestling. Taken from his new book: DragonKingKarl's 1984-1985 Pro Wrestling Omnibus, this is one of the most detailed looks at February 1984 ever undertaken.

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!It's the annual SOUND OFF CHRISTMAS SHOW and Santa Solomonster comes bearing many gifts! I've got thoughts on TWO surprising stories out of Japan with Hiroshi Tanahashi being named the new President of New Japan Pro Wrestling and WWE possibly sending an NXT talent to work an All Japan Pro Wrestling show. What is going on here? PLUS... my EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with AEW World champion MJF with his thoughts on Tony Khan's comments about AEW constantly being under attack, what John Cena said to him on the red carpet at the Iron Claw premiere and how he's treating his torn labrum as he prepares for his World's End battle with Samoa Joe... more potential bad news for Tony Khan and AEW as it relates to merger talks between Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount and the effect it could have on the wrestling landscape... lots of contract news on Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, Bayley and the Mysterios, and thoughts on Mercedes Mone asking for even more money than what Charlotte is said to be getting... lots of non-competes for released WWE talent have now expired and guess who the busiest man in wrestling looks to be?... where the Continental Classic finals appear to be headed as AEW revisits the Swerve/Keith Lee feud a YEAR after the story reached its peak... RANKING THE 20 BEST PRO WRESTLING MATCHES OF 2023 and, man, this is a lot harder than you would think... then, it's YOUR questions on a possible future Jon Moxley return to WWE, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk BOTH winning the Royal Rumble, Lacey Evans "not caring" about wrestling, AJ Styles' less than stellar history at Wrestlemania and KANE getting involved in the CM Punk/Seth Rollins story?

JCB & Brett are back and nuttier than ever with a Bizarro World episode. They begin by talking about two classic NOAH tag matches from 2005, largely centered around Genichiro Tenryu being a prick to Kenta Kobashi. Then they dive head first into DDT's Ultimate Party, which includee a phenomenal mix of workrate, emotion, insanity and chaos, including JCB losing his mind over a bonkers comedy match featuring Hiromu Takahashi. We urge you to check out the 2nd half of this show. Then, they swing into All Japan Pro Wrestling, who garnered the recently defected from NOAH Katsuhiko Nakajima, who arrived with purpose by clowning his old rival Kento Miyahara, and defeating Yuma Aoyagi to win the Triple Crown Championship on his first try. They finally get to yet another Will Ospreay Match of the Year contender, but this was all about the performance of one Shota Umino. Brett craps on the Wrestle Kingdom card, and JCB shockingly rants on Stardom. This is the weirdest and wackiest PSP yet, so do yourself a favor and open your ear holes.

From the snow-capped peaks of Japan to the rolling hills of Hollywood, Mochi Ice Cream represents the evolution of a delectable ancient morsel crossed with American snacking sensibilities. But what do the Four Pillars of Heaven from mid-90s All Japan Pro Wrestling and the viral game of looking for Little Moons in Big Tesco have with today's treat?

After a huge weekend of Pro Wrestling in Japan there were a lot of talking points to get to so the Eastern Lariat returns with a look at New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestlig NOAH and DRAGONGATE. NJPW's Power Struggle on one hand is somewhat of a lame duck show in the calendar year of New Japan, but on the other hand it produced great and unique matches. Unique was Katsuhiko Nakajima's landing in All Japan, winning the Triple Crown as he walked in. STRIGGA & Dylan discuss the way the match came about, the action itself and of course the future implications for Nakajima, former champion Aoyagi and the first challenger Kento Miyahara. As Aoyagi's reign ended, Madoka Kikuta's reign as Open The Dream Gate Champion in DRAGONGATE surprisingly continued so the final topic of the show involves discussions about BIGBOSS Shimizu losing yet again and in which way stables could be shaken up in the world of DG.

The story of David Von Erich is a powerful story. He was young and destined for greatness. Perhaps he was even the heir apparent to the NWA World heavyweight championship. But then an ill-fated trip to Japan for a tour with All Japan Pro Wrestling ended his story.
