This week on Wrestling Omakase we talk two early 10s Shinsuke Nakamura matches, a 2016 DDT mat classic, an Aztec Warfare match and maybe the last good ladder match of all time. If you haven't listened to a 5 Matches episode yet, every week John and the guest each choose 2 matches to watch and talk about on the episode. Then we each choose a third match, which is put up to a vote on the @wrestleomakase Twitter account, letting the listeners choose our fifth and final match of the week. It's a fun retro format featuring all sorts of different wrestling! John is joined by Joel Abraham (@joeljabraham) of VOW's New Japan Pro Wrestling podcast the Super J-Cast (@thesuperjcast), and though we do talk some NJPW we also give Joel a chance to spread his wings a bit. Here's the full list of five matches that are discussed this week, along with the easiest place to find them: 1. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit, WWE 1/21/01 (WWE Network: https://watch.wwe.com/episode/Royal-Rumble-2001-11802, match starts at 22:51) 2. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Hirooki Goto, NJPW 4/4/10 (NJPW World: https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00300_1_1 or https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00300_2_01) 3. Aztec Warfare 2, LU 12/12/15 (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6uc0ou) 4. Isami Kodaka vs. Masa Takanashi, DDT 1/30/16 (DDT Universe: https://www.ddtpro.com/universe/videos/3170) 5. Tetsuya Naito vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, NJPW 8/14/11 (NJPW World: https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00183_2_5) Topics that come up along the way include: a review of the Hi-Score Girl anime John recommended to Joel and some character discussion, Joel's starting point in wrestling fandom, spots that should absolutely never be done again, when exactly Goto started getting viewed as a geek (and many different ways he was done dirty by the booking), dropping into Lucha Underground and trying to make sense of it all, matches that build internally being better than just endless references to past matches, Stardust Genius Naito was Good Actually, what a Nakamura return to NJPW run might look like and whether or not he could actually pull it off, yet another "Nakamura-Zayn is just Nakamura-Ibushi reskinned" discussion, and much more.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we give you a double dose of BIG VAN VADER, more Sting, a DDT Ironman Heavymetalweight Battle Royale, some 2014 DG action featuring Akira Tozawa and early weekly PPV era TNA! If you haven't listened to a 5 Matches episode yet, every week John and the guest each choose 2 matches to watch and talk about on the episode. Then we each choose a third match, which is put up to a vote on the @wrestleomakase Twitter account, letting the listeners choose our fifth and final match of the week! It's a fun retro format featuring all sorts of different wrestling! John is joined by returning guest Jake (@Oatgan) to discuss a very unique set of five matches. Before they get into this week's set of matches Jake and John briefly discuss the Yakuza game series which is now helping John pass these many lonely quarantine hours at home, plus there's some talk about some recent empty arena wrestling shows and how some of the new ones out of Japan have been improving as well. Once that's out of the way we get into our five picks for this week, and here they all are in order of discussion: 1. T-Hawk vs. Akira Tozawa, DG 5/9/14 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYsTt1sfCXE) 2. Vader & Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Rick & Scott Steiner, NJPW 6/26/92 (NJPW World: https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00107_1_1) 3.

Sting vs. Vader, WCW 12/28/92 (WWE Network: https://watch.wwe.com/episode/Starrcade-1992-9818) Some of the discussion points that come up along the way include: DG units of the time period and where things went sideways with the Millennials, how Vader, Bam Bam and the Steiners came together here and then immediately went off in different directions never to meet again, TNA's long history of top heel units including lots of SEX talk, DDT jokes that are easy to get vs. harder ones, and where this particular match stands up in the Sting-Vader pantheon.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we debut our new format that we'll be using to get us through this current pandemic hell! Each week, John and the guest will each choose 2 matches to watch and talk about on the episode. Then we'll each choose a third match, which we'll put up to a vote on the @wrestleomakase Twitter account, letting the listeners choose our fifth and final match of the week! It's a fun retro format featuring all sorts of different wrestling! Our first guest for the 5 Matches format is none other than the King of Banter himself, Joe Lanza of the Voices of Wrestling flagship podcast (@voiceswrestling). Joe and John open things up with some talk about how they're each adjusting to pandemic life, and John explains a little about why they're not all that interested in covering the few empty arena wrestling shows that are still happening. Once that's out of the way they get into their matches, and here they all are in order along with where you can watch them yourself: 1. Midnight Express vs. The Fantastics, WCCW 1/26/85 (WWE Network: https://watch.wwe.com/episode/WCCW-2268) 2. Meiko Satomura vs. Sareee, Sendai Girls 4/16/19 (https://rutube.ru/video/844658c07b4ad72f6c4b6417ce3dd504/) 3.

Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit, WWE 5/31/01 (WWE Network: https://watch.wwe.com/episode/SmackDown-4781) These matches give us all sorts of jumping off points including John and Joe's history attending many of the same shows and venues (and a few they didn't attend!), the current CINEMATIC WRESTLING boom, US indie style from 11 years ago leading into AEW, and much more.

SCHLAGKRAFT #332 - Super All Vacancy Wir melden uns zurück in großer Runde, mit erneut aufgrund der aktuellen Geschehnisse wenig Themen, aber das hat uns ja noch nie gestoppt. Also reden wir kurz über die wenigen tatsächlichen MMA-Geschehnisse und freestylen ansonsten eine Weile. Und vor allem reden wir natürlich über das wahre MMA, Pro Wrestling. - Wir vergleichen Krankenkassen (not sponsored by TK, aber wir sind für alle Angebote offen!) - Wir reden über das Thema, das aktuell alle bewegt: Pro Wrestling NOAH - Super All Vacancy - Unterstützt DDT Universe und guckt Shiozaki vs Fujita! - Der Kurt Angle Deutschlands - Der absolute Superstar in Soest - Nicht gut im klassischen Sinne? - Wenn zwei Wrestler über 30 Minuten den Mindestabstand einhalten, dann schafft ihr das auch alle im Supermarkt! - Virtuosos am Werk - A wrestling match for the intellectual + - Tyler Willy - Jon Jones ist die einzige Konstante - Powerlifter Jones wird uns alle retten - Jojos Weizensilos sind bis oben gefüllt - Darren Till has a normal one - Ashlee Evans Smith, modern Robin Hood - Blackpink ist ausverkauft - Jonas empfiehlt koreanische Musik Wir wünschen wie immer viel Spaß mit der Ausgabe und gute Gesundheit in diesen schwierigen Zeiten! Bis bald!

We are live at 6:30pm CST as we talk all things Pro Wrestling.  1-347-857-1060 is the number to listen via mobile. We begin tonight going over the Pro Wrestling NOAH Junior Battle of Glory Finals show for Korakuen Hall.  This is the first show after the purchase by Cyber Agent, as well as it's first show on the DDT Universe streaming network.  We also talk about the four Title matches that were set up this show as well with Shiozaki vs Fujita, Sugiura vs Kiyomiya, Ogawa vs Harada and Stinger vs RATELS. We also discuss the first two New Beginning shows from New Japan as we mash up the two shows and talk what we liked.  Also, Ryan has something to say about the main event from night two.  We also preview the big close of the tour as they have sold out Osaka Jo Hall for the big Tetsuya Naito vs KENTA match.   WWE had their Quarter 4 Earnings call and it was a interesting one to say the least.  Ryan took part in it and has some interesting thoughts just from the cadence from Vince on his answers.  We talk the Network discussion from it, along with some outside thoughts as to what's next. The guys also each gave one another three companies to make a 8 match super show with.  Each will give out their card and reactions to some of the fun dream matches to be had. Make sure to follow the show on Twitter @wrestlecast_ssm and also like the page on Facebook.  Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Radio Tune-In, Player FM, iHeart Radio, Spotify, Anchor FM and more.  Lastly, go grab a t shirt over at www.prowrestlingtees.com/wrestlecast  

This week on Wrestling Omakase it's finally time to head back to New Japan land! John is joined by returning guests and VOW contributors Chris Samsa (TheChrisSamsa) and Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslinratings) to break down the two big New Beginning in Sapporo shows in detail, as they go match-by-match on both cards. Hear praise for a number of the undercard matches (except one in particular that gets ripped by pretty much everyone; you'll have to listen to find out which one) and then some strong opinions on the major matches of both shows: EVIL-Ishii, Shingo-Goto, ZSJ-Ospreay and Okada-Taichi. We then do a brief preview of the upcoming New Beginning shows from Korakuen Hall and Osaka and speculate on what could be coming later in the year in NJPW as well. Once that's wrapped up we turn our attention to the big story from Japanese wrestling this past week: the sale of Pro Wrestling NOAH to DDT's parent company CyberAgent. Hear us give some thoughts on why the sale might have gone down and how Japanese wrestling is consolidating with the specter of NXT Japan looming large. We then briefly discuss NOAH's latest Korakuen show (and first airing on DDT Universe) from 1/30 and look ahead to their major shows in February as well, plus as a bonus we take a look at the Big Japan Strong Climb lineup that was recently announced.
