We're back for another week of Wrestling Omakase as John is once again joined by returning guest Snazzy from the Social Suplex newsletter (and the new Joshi ing Around podcast!) to discuss four very different wrestling promotions. They start things out by heading back to the world of Marigold for the first time in quite a while, as they discuss the 9/14 Marigold Dream Star GP finals. John is just parachuting in for this after having missed the tournament up to this point while Snazzy has seen it all, so he's able to give the lowdown on everyone's performances and who has and hasn't shown big improvements so far on the roster. Both of them bemoan some very annoying (and very classic Rossy Ogawa) booking on the final night, talk up a very good Victoria Yuzuki performance and where she compares to some other second year wrestlers in Japan, and discuss the entire rest of the card as well as Marigold prepares to head to Sumo Hall next month.Next up they head back to STARDOM to discuss the 9/10 Korakuen Hall show, which was not exactly the most stacked lineup they've produced this year. Still, there's two title changes to talk about here (including one that was possibly not supposed to happen at all!) as well as a lot of speculation about where STARDOM might be going heading into their November Ota Ward show as well as the Goddesses Tag League and Dream Queendom after that.Then they head over to men's wrestling starting with NOAH to talk nights 2 through 4 of their annual N-1 Victory tournament, and WOOF is this bad. The two of them break down some very house show level efforts from most of the roster, more run-ins, Kaito getting geeked for about the ten thousandth time, and, well, yeah that pretty much covers it. Hopefully this tournament gets better at some point because it did not have a good week!Finally they wrap things up by checking in on New Japan for the first time since the end of the G1, as they had two Korakuen shows this past week. They discuss the very wacky Shinnichi Champion PPV show from 9/12 that was a tie-in to NJPW's Japanese variety show you may or may not have even heard of, but besides an undercard full of comedy also featured a killer (and completely serious!) main event. Then they break down a much more standard Road To show the next night (much more quickly of course), but have praise for the Knockout Brothers and some of the Young Lions. Also there's lots of live updates for a Blue Jays game throughout. Look, we're trying to win a division here!Check out Snazzy's new joshi podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/24Fg7QoUdB032u40nHiVRF?si=c20398f1e13946ce&nd=1&dlsi=7c602c298e554251Check out John's apperance on the Super J Cast Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sjc-extra-9-9-to-138542376Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Wrestling Omakase is back for our most absolute jam packed and indeed longest episode ever! John is joined by returning guest Arametha as they start with 2 hours and 40 minutes just on the hottest promotion in Japan at the moment, the World Wonder Ring STARDOM! It starts with full reviews of their 7/21 & 7/24 shows from Sapporo & Korakuen respectively, as they go over yet more outstanding matches from STARDOM's increasingly large catalogue- SLK/Anou, Saya/Poi, AZM/Bozilla and more! Then they dig into a full, lengthy preview of the upcoming 5 STAR GP, which kicks off by the time many of you will be listening to this (but not to worry, we cover the entire tournament in detail including every participant and all the other stops on the tour, and spend very little time on the opening night on purpose). They break down the final night of each block and how it might help us figure out who has the best chance of advancing, go over various picks to win outright, list most anticipated matches and even rank the four blocks from anticipation/excitement levels.Next it's back to New Japan to talk nights 3-6 of the already underway G1 Climax. They discuss what are becoming the two big stories of the tournament: largely great matches and largely flagging attendance. Hear their thoughts on Finlay/Taichi, Tsuji/Yuya, ZSJ/Umino, Tanahashi/Finlay, ZSJ/ELP, Umino/Narita, Takeshita/Shingo and much more! Then they give a look ahead at what's coming up in the following week of G1 shows, including a look at how attendance is shaping up for each night.Then it's back to joshi for two more topics, starting with a full review of Tokyo Joshi's 7/21 Summer Sun Princess show from Ota Ward Gym (which slightly outdrew one of the G1 nights!). John & Arametha discuss an awesome tag title match, some comedy that may not land with John's significant other at least, music vs. wrestling idol body requirements and much more. They also give a brief preview of the upcoming Tokyo Princess Cup.Finally, this marathon episode wraps up with a quick preview of the somehow also upcoming Marigold Dream Star GP. They give their thoughts on who is a contender to win each block and the tournament in general as well as some of their most anticipated matches. It's really tournament season in Japan, and Omakase has you covered!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Todd previews New Japan's weekend show. Then they walk through key happenings on Smackdown (including the Braun Strowman promo), Raw (including discussing why Randy Orton vs. Big Show did so poorly in the ratings with a debate on value of mid-show promos to build TV main events), AEW (one of Todd's favorite episodes of Dynamite yet), and NXT (including Bronson Reed's win, and a sidebar on Adam Cole's outburst at Pat McAfee).
