Wrestling daredevil Joey Janela has made quite the name for himself on the independent wrestling scene.

Kris & Bix are guestless as we discuss the week that was September 30-October 6, 2002. We talk about Keiji Mutoh officially taking over All Japan Pro Wrestling and all the major changes that would soon be coming to the promotion. We also talk about the rise of Bob Sapp in K-1 as he gets his first big win over Ernesto Hoost and becomes a major mainstream superstar overnight. We then go to New Japan where we talk about Kensuke Sasaki quitting the promotion to go on his own and how it would affect both him and the promotion. We also talk about the Japanese indie scene with lots of results, NWA TNA with news on who may be investing in the promotion, Shocker & Mascara Magica looking for a new member of Los Nuevos Guapos, and ROH vs. XPW in Philadelphia featuring the epic handshake between Rob Feinstein and John Zandig as they call a truce to battle back Rob Black. We then close with the WWE where we talk about Raw & SmackDown, featuring HHH showering with multiple women and the debut of Al Wilson. As a 2002 show, it's packed heavily with content, so listen now!!!! Timestamps: 0:00:00 Japan & Misc.

C! Z! W! On this week's episode of Wrestling Omakase, John is joined by Jake (@Oatgan) & Kevin Brown (@darukinoi) to discuss the longtime northeast independent promotion. If you've ever wondered just what the hell the deal is when people start talking about CZW, hear it straight from two fans. Everything is touched upon including the differences in the Zandig/Hyde/Callihan eras, the "big three" yearly events of CZW over the years (Cage of Death, Tournament of Death, and Best of the Best), various title reigns, storyline tropes, that whole Onita deal, whether CZW has a "style", and more! Plus, we go into detail on guys like Nick Gage and John Zandig. Finally, we have a huge mailbag (people really had a ton of CZW questions!) covering everything from show names to fan behavior to announcers and more! It's a loaded edition of Omakase on another promotion that doesn't exactly get a ton of audio coverage, so check it out and enjoy!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/wrestling-omakase/donationsWant to advertise on this podcast?
