Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast with your host Marie Shadows!Season 7 kicks off going backwards through Wrestle Kingdom 20, starting with the main event: Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match against Kazuchika Okada (January 4, 2026, Tokyo Dome). Why this felt like NJPW coming back (even a little), why Okada still delivers elite psychology when motivated, the weird commentary dynamic nobody's talking about (marching orders for Chris Charlton?), Tanahashi as the most powerful man in wrestling, why he could've called Nakamura but chose Okada, post-match brotherhood, the creepy ten-bell salute, and why wrist control & body-part work still matter more than flips.I go in on AEW's lazy Okada run, the failing NJPW-AEW partnership, bad yen excuses, immigration/culture takes, IWC negativity, and why Tanahashi retiring means he can finally president properly.Substack: https://marieshadows.substack.comPatreon: https://patreon.com/marieshadowsTimestamps!00:00 – Welcome to Season 7, Happy New Year, January 24 202600:46 – Where to find the podcast + what's coming in 202601:14 – IWC negativity, wrong labels, Marty Scurll correct story03:29 – Cyber bullying still alive, be open-minded04:35 – Wrestle Kingdom 20 make-or-break for NJPW, Tanahashi retirement05:52 – Economy/yen excuses vs real issues09:49 – Sold out because of Tanahashi, Okada wins12:01 – Why Okada over Nakamura, Tanahashi power13:37 – AEW partnership not benefiting NJPW (Twitter thread proof)14:47 – Dual contracts discussion coming soon16:39 – Tanahashi could've called WWE for Nakamura19:12 – Match breakdown: wrestling, wrist control, psychology27:54 – Why struggle > flips, working body parts30:50 – Finish, post-match mic, brotherhood parade32:04 – Commentary dynamic: Charlton marching orders, tension37:00 – Walker indie/woke insertions, respect Japanese style42:41 – Storytelling lost art in commentary51:02 – Final thoughts, brotherhood, ten-bell creepy53:05 – Plugs: like/share/comment/poll, Patreon, Tape Study, consultations

Music of the Mat is celebrating nine years the only way it knows how: with a hearty pun and a lively discussion about hair metal! Inspired by the recent retirement of Hiroshi Tanahashi and his glorious head of hair, this episode combines two hirsute topics. The hair vs. hair match is a stipulation that has been around for decades in pro wrestling, and hair metal is a genre that has been around for decades in music (even if it's heyday was forty years ago). Andrew is joined by returning guest Damon McDonald (Super J-Cast) to play some of their favorite hair metal songs. Artists played include Ratt, Cinderella, White Lion, Skid Row, Def Leppard, KIX, Bon Jovi, Poison, and many more. Grab your hairspray, pour yourself into the tightest spandex pants you can find, and enjoy this fantastic anniversary show!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @thesuperjcastTwitter: @thesuperjcastSuper J-Cast's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/superjcastAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateOur Sponsors:* Check out our sponsor BetterHelp at https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

New Japan Pro-Wrestling closed the book on a defining era at the Tokyo Dome with Wrestle Kingdom 20, a show built around transition rather than nostalgia. Hiroshi Tanahashi's retirement match marked the end of a 25-year in-ring career and served as a clear dividing line for the company moving forward, while the rest of the card focused on consolidation and direction through major title matches and contender-setting bouts. Wrestle Kingdom once again functioned as NJPW's annual truth serum — clarifying priorities, tightening the championship picture, and setting expectations for the post-Tanahashi era. Elsewhere, AEW wrapped up 2025 with Worlds End drawing an estimated 140,000 buys, pushing the company's annual PPV total near 1.25 million worldwide. MJF reclaimed the AEW World Championship, restored the "Triple B," and immediately introduced volatility to the title scene with challengers lining up on television and a potential independent title defense looming at Limitless Wrestling. Willow Nightingale made history on New Year's Smash by becoming the first woman to hold two AEW championships simultaneously, while Tony Khan confirmed the return of AEW Grand Slam Mexico in 2026 and reiterated plans to expand dual-contract partnerships with CMLL talent. WWE entered the new year in the midst of its own structural shift. Trick Williams officially joined the SmackDown roster, Giulia regained the Women's United States Championship, and Matt Cardona was confirmed as an active SmackDown competitor. The WWE PPV and PLE archive began its transition to Netflix in the United States as Raw prepares to celebrate its one-year Netflix anniversary with a Stranger Things–themed episode. Injury updates for Dominik Mysterio and Sheamus, combined with The Usos capturing the World Tag Team Championships, further highlighted a roster recalibration heading into 2026. Tonight's episode breaks down the fallout from Wrestle Kingdom 20, what Tanahashi's retirement means for New Japan's future, and how AEW and WWE are repositioning themselves at the start of a new year. No overstatement, no revisionist framing — just a grounded look at a week that quietly reset the industry's direction. Wrestling Tonight: Episode 159

Hiroshi Tanahashi, one of the most important figures in New Japan Pro Wrestling history - perhaps second only to its founder - has wrestled his last match.  The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer offers some insight on that, as well as the 20th Wrestle Kingdom event as a whole. Also, find out why you never want Vince McMahon or other WWE officials to be in charge of YOUR web security, and feel free to join us in reading into some interesting tour scheduling for the lead singer of Fozzy... It's been almost one full year since WWE Raw debuted on Netflix in the US, and all WWE content moved to the streaming service internationally.  It feels like forever ago, but this week, Mike McGuire takes a look back at some of that year, including the premiere episode. As the anniversary comes up, WWE has a big show planned, but is there more to read in a certain star's social media comments?  Plus, more call-ups from NXT are expected, and a Canadian Legend is hanging up his boots! Next week, McGuire on Wrestling makes its official premiere on AM 1150 out of Kelowna, BC!  For more about our shows, visit celebratewrestling.com  

James and Christy discuss the amazing final night of Hiroshi Tanahashi's career as he faces Kazuchika Okada one last time. Yota Tsuji and Konosuke Takeshita go all out for all the marbles. Aaron Wolf makes his debut against EVIL, and Syrui and Saya Kamatani have another double title match that is set to steal the show.

The beginning of the new year is the endpoint of a career at the same time. It's not the endpoint of a regular career, but the endpoint of Hiroshi Tanahashi's career that shaped japanese pro wrestling over the past 26 years and helped change the balance of power in the business. So it's no exaggeration to say that fans witnessed the closing of the book of one of the most important careers not just in New Japan Pro Wrestling, but in modern professional wrestling as a whole. Besides the Tanahashi festivities and his tremendous final match against longtime rival Kazuchika Okada, STRIGGA & Dylan review the full card, talk about what worked, what didn't, and how New Japan presented its biggest show of the year. Above all though, the Eastern Lariat reflects on Tanahashi's legacy as the Ace, what his farewell meant in the context of the event, and where NJPW goes from here without the man who carried the company on his back and broke his own body doing so.

When you've seen someone at the pinnacle of their particular craft for so long, it should always send shock waves throughout the entire industry, when they announce their retirement to the entire world. On Episode 456 of the YLP Podcast, Mr. YLP Himself discusses the impending retirement of NJPW President, Hiroshi Tanahashi, ahead of his retirement match against Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 20.Along with that, he also presents his first preview and predictions of 2026, with his predictions for Sunday's Wrestle Kingdom 20 pay-per-view, but someone decided to give Mr. YLP their predictions for the show as well.
