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.

In this episode Tariq and Jim talk about the different faces they have… It will make sense once you listen to the discussion.

Fumi and Justin began their profile series on “Mr. Puroresu” himself, Genichiro Tenryu. In Part One, they went over Tenryu starting sumo at 14, then transitioning to Giant Baba's AJPW a decade later. They also detailed Tenryu's early career in the US, teaming with Billy Robinson and Jumbo Tsuruta, Tenryu's legendary rivalry with Riki Choshu and the importance of their 2/21/85 Osaka-Jo Hall match which Tenryu's huge spike rise in popularity from this. They finished the show discussing his Tenryu's UN Heavyweight title and the eventual formation of AJPW's Triple Crown and his big-time singles matches vs. Jumbo and Stan Hansen before covering the rise and fall of SWS and later Tenryu's WAR promotion. Additionally, at 16:00 into the show, Fumi and Justin spent about ten minutes talking about about Terry Funk's recent health condition and how overblown it had gotten in the media. In Part 2, Fumi & Justin first talked about Tenryu's involvement in the short-lived “straight and strong” SWS run by Megane Super executives and Tenryu taking after Baba and Inoki and becoming a wrestling promoter with WAR. They went over his return to AJPW in the late '90s after the death of Giant Baba and his classics with Keiji Muto in All Japan, his work in the critically maligned HUSTLE and his retirement match in 2015 against NJPW's Kazuchika Okada.

Having a great match on a big show is one thing but having the greatest match of your storied career on one of the most historically significant cards ever is a whole different thing. This card was a joint card between New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling and WWF just a mere days after The Ultimate Warrior dethrones Hulk Hogan for the WWF title in Toronto's Skydome. This match, without a doubt is a must watch for every wrestling fan, especially those who are familiar with both Saving and Tenryu. These two tell one of the greatest stories in ever to be told within a squared circle. Tariq explains just how crazy the crowd and commentators get and how the Japanese equivalent of Tom Brokaw loses his mind and gets involved in the action. By the way, the greatest performance in this match, hands down, belongs to Sensational Sherri. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sixmantagpodcast/support

Welcome to Episode 5 of Starflation, the podcast that says 5 stars has never been enough!   The concept? Prior to January 2017, we had been using the long standing and well known 5-star rating system for rating wrestling matches. That all changed when Dave Meltzer gave the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 11 SIX stars, before going SEVEN stars on Omega/Okada IV in June 2018, giving us the 7-star scale we now use. But that poses a question, what about the hundreds of matches rated the full 5 and above before June 2018? Don't worry, we've got you covered!.   In this episode, the Calum, Ben and Logan jump out of their remain in Japan to look at another six-man tag-team match pitting the Revolution stable of Genichiro Tenryu, Samson Fuyuki and Toshiaki Tawada against the team of Jumbo Tsuruta, Masanobu Fuchi and Yoshiaki Yatsu from the 17th and final date of the AJPW New Year Giant Series 1989!

We discuss who should be higher, lower, and off the list completely to give you an idea of where we stand on some of the most famous pro wrestlers ever.  Website: queenvenerator.com Twitter: @queenvenerator Instagram: @queenvenerator Wrestlers Discussed: Abdullah the Butcher, AJ Styles, Akira Maeda, Andre the Giant, Antonino Rocca, Antonio Inoki, Arn Anderson, Atsushi Onita, Barry Windham, Bill Goldberg, Blue Demon, Bob Backlund, Bobo Brazil, Bret Hart, Brock Lesnar, Bruiser Brody, Bruno Sammartino, Buddy Rogers, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Curt Hennig, Daniel Bryan, Davey Boy Smith, Dean Malenko, Dick Beyer, Don Muraco, Dory Funk Jr, Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, El Canek, El Hijo del Santo, El Santo, Freddie Blassie, Gene Kiniski, Genichiro Tenryu, Giant Baba, Gorgeous George, Harley Race, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hulk Hogan, Ivan Koloff, Jack Brisco, Jake Roberts, Jeff Hardy, Jerry Lawler, Jimmy Snuka, John Cena, Johnny Valentine, Jumbo Tsuruta, Jushin Liger, Kane, Keiji Mutoh, Kenta Kobashi, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, Larry Zbyszko, Lou Thesz, Mick Foley, Mil Mascaras, Mitsuharu Misawa, Nick Bockwinkel, Nikita Koloff, Owen Hart, Perro Aguayo, Randy Orton, Randy Savage, Rey Mysterio, Ric Flair, Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat, Riki Choshu, Rikidozan, Rob Van Dam, Roddy Piper, Ron Simmons, Samoa Joe, Satoru Sayama, Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels, Stan Hansen, Steve Austin, Sting, Superstar Billy Graham, Tatsumi Fujinami, Ted DiBiase, Terry Funk, Terry Gordy, The Rock, The Sheik, The Undertaker, Toshiaki Kawada, Triple H, Tully Blanchard, Ultimo Dragon, Vader, Verne Gagne, Wahoo McDaniel, William Regal

In lieu of Riki Choshu: Part Three, which will air next week, Write That Down! presents The Life & Times of Jumbo Tsuruta, a super-cut of the two episodes Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper did on Tsuruta last year. Part One: Fumi & Justin went in deep on the early days of Tomomi “Jumbo Tsuruta, from his early days growing up in Yamanashi prefecture on his parents' grape & peach farm, playing basketball in high school, and his quick transition to amateur wrestling which led to him competing at the 1972 Munich Olympics. They also talked about Tsuruta's move to pro wrestling shortly after the Olympics. Both Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki were courting the young phenom before he decided on joining All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he'd go on to become a company legend over the next few decades. They also touched on Jumbo's early training days with the Funks in Texas, his 1984 AWA World title run, his very special rivalries with Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, the unique PWF ruleset, and his subsequent image change in the late '80s ahead of the Super Generation Army era of the '90s. Part Two: This episode picks up in 1985–1986, which is when Riki Choshu turned heel on Tatsumi Fujinami and left NJPW for AJPW with the rest of his ISHIN-GUN crew. It was around this time that Jumbo evolved into a type of enforcer for All Japan, as his character from the '70s and early '80s became bigger, gruffer and meaner. They also talked about Jumbo's relationships to Stan Hansen and Genichiro Tenryu, two of his most important rivals, his use of the power bomb, Tenryu leaving AJPW to help form SWS, and his truly legendary Nippon Budokan match vs. a young Mitsuharu Misawa.

Today Fumi Saito & Justin Knipper went over the shift in All Japan ownership as we entered into the Keiji Muto era of AJPW that featured stars like Genichiro Tenryu and Satoshi Kojima as well as Muto himself winning the tournament. They also talked quite a bit about HUSTLE, too, since Muto would wrestle as the Great Muta for HUSTLE at the time. Of course, with HUSTLE talk also comes general discussion of the Dark Ages of Japanese pro wrestling and the overarching influence of MMA from this point on. They also went over the importance of Minoru Suzuki to AJPW in the late '00s and early '10 when he won the CC in '09 and '10 in addition to winning the Triple Crown and basically returning to traditional pro wrestling. All this and lots more in this week's episode.

The Long & Winding Royal Road veers off the beaten track once more to spotlight one of the key members of the 90s All Japan roster, “Dangerous K” Toshiaki Kawada! WH Park is joined by co-host of the Eastern Lariat, Dylan Fox, a massive Kawada fan who also chronicles wrestling from the 90s on his 90s Project series which you can find at the Eastern Lariat's Patreon.

They also discuss his formative years on excursion in Texas, Calgary and Montreal before returning to Japan to apprentice under the tutelage of Genichiro Tenryu, his team and rivalry with Misawa, the dominance of The Holy Demon Army, his ascension to the ACE position of All Japan after Misawa leaves to form NOAH.
