Once again, we didn’t do this on purpose, but both our MMA fight and pro wrestling match this week have a sort of similar energy. In both, there’s a wily veteran vs. a scrappy, younger up-and-comer, and in both, we have fun, dynamic matchups that go places. This week, it’s Kairi Hojo vs. Meiko Satomura from 2015, and Roxanne “The Happy Warrior” Modafferi vs. Antonina Shevchenko from last year’s UFC St. Petersburg card (the first UFC women’s bout in Russia).

Yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate's life for me! Kairi Hojo is in this match so that means we are contractually obligated to make a certain number of references to swashbuckling and general marauding. This week, we're setting sail toward World Wonder Ring Stardom to see the Pirate Princess Kairi Hojo defend her World of Stardom championship against the living legend Meiko Satomura. Will the local buccaneer be able to defend her treasure from the veteran scallawag? Swinging onto the deck this week (see what I mean) is the producer of Thundercats Roar and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs!

This is the first episode of the new series from Strong Style Media. Pro Wrestlin For Dummies. Ryan welcomes on the late Sean Williams to the show. The two talk the entire run of STARDOM Wrestling up into the end of May, as this was recorded at the end of April. The two talk everything from the companies start, to the closing of April after the draft between the three main factions. This podcast covers everything you need to know about STARDOM. From the day one incarnation of the company, all the way to the roster, factions, Champions and more. We talk the shoot incident, the amazing deathmatch recently, about the way the draft came into play, and the meaning behind the company. The audio is a little goofy at the start but after a few minutes everything gets rolling in a hurry. Make sure to get that note taking device out as Ryan did because Sean is a huge weath of knowledge, and you need to take it all down. Also we want to send our prayers and well wishes for Sean and his family. He tragically passed away on a business trip a few days later in Las Vegas. The shock was one I couldn't describe. Prayers once again to his fiance and his friends and family. Sean is @TheDragonSuplex and also wrote for @voicesofwrestling about STARDOM as well.

Welcome to Two Guys, One Sport! Every week, Chris and George will discuss the world of professional wrestling, covering topics far and wide that appeal to their unique tastes on this form of entertainment that we all hold dear. Sit back and enjoy, and remember, never work yourself into a shoot! This week, we'll be recapping Extreme Rules and lamenting a pretty bad week for main roster WWE. Expect rants from both Chris and George about various events that left us with very poor tastes in our mouths. However, we'll counter those negatives with praise for the Best of Super Juniors final and a preview of Wrestle Kingdom 11.5, otherwise known as Dominion 6/11. We'll also discuss yet another great episode of NXT and the early signs of what the card will be at Takeover Brooklyn III. Somewhere in there, we'll probably also talk about Kairi Hojo's final Stardom show ever, which took place last Sunday. Join us next week on an extensive Dominion recap and a preview of Money in the Bank! Also, we'll be back to Friday nights next week, so mark your calendars accordingly.

Toss in a fantastic NXT Takeover: Chicago show, with a sprinkle of our Fantasty Wrestling Standings, and you get a fun block of wrestling banter. Our second fall goes outside the ring as we discuss any news, notes, and rumors that caught the guys eye over the week. Does the WWE really not have any interest in being Broken? Does Anthem have plans as we saw a laughing situation with Impact calling a talent Broken already? Any interest in a trios tournament between Impact vs AAA vs NOAH in Japan? Jarrett does. Does it make sense for WWE to want Kairi Hojo to change her finish when it's the best elbow in the business? Banter! We close going Outside the Universe as we discuss what we have seen so far in this years New Japan Best of the Super Juniors Tournament. Night one was a fantastic, show of the year caliber event, and the moment has continued.

Does Anthem have plans as we saw a laughing situation with Impact calling a talent Broken already? Any interest in a trios tournament between Impact vs AAA vs NOAH in Japan? Jarrett does.
