Ryan and Alex are back for the 189th time to talk all things Puro and Professional Wrestling! NOAH had back-to-back shows with banger matches including their Inaugural Cage War as two former allies turn to bitter rivals in an all out battle. With WrestleMania 23 implications on the line, who walked out victorious? Kenoh wants change in NOAH and is tired of the old guard as he takes on the returning Great Muta! All Japan Pro Wrestling also had to change things up as SU-WAMAAAAAAA had to relinquish the Triple Crown Championship after holding it for over a year due to the only thing to defeat him during his reign, COVID. Jake Lee wins Champion Carnival 2021 and is thrusted into a triple threat with foe Kento Miyahara and his Nextream partner, Yuma Aoyagi. In a wild round robin-esque type of style, a new Triple Crown champ was crowned and Ryan will explain why this is the right move. Dragon Gate is on the road to Kobe World as Rainbow Gate had a fun show. Does KZY keep his momentum going heading into his match with Shun Skywalker? Masato Yoshino and his All-Star team take on R*E*D* as SpeedStar almost says goodbye. STARDOM has another fantastic show with Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021. After making the internet buzz with her MOTY at the last show, Utami Hayashishita defends her World of Stardom title against Oedo Tai villain, Natsuko Tora. Another show with incredible action as Alex becomes an instant fan with their storytelling and of course, factions! Ryan's 'Rassling Rumble Roundup is back as he cook(e)s up all the wrestling he's watched over the week. From GLEAT, GCW and some federation from Mumbai, he will saunter his knowledge into all of our ear holes. All this and more banter tonight on Episode 189!

This week’s guest on the Fresh is the Word podcast is Kris Wolf. Based in Japan, Kris Wolf is most known for her time with the Stardom women’s wrestling promotion in Japan as a member of the Oedo Tai faction. Her wiley wolfie persona is not only a sly one being a member of a heel faction like Oedo Tai, but she’s fast become one of the most well-liked Joshi wrestlers over the past few years. During our chat, we talked about how she got into wrestling and her life before moving to Japan from the USA. We also talked about her time in Stardom and about how it’s like living in Japan. Kris Wolf is about to embark on a world tour soon, or more like a “Wolf Tour”, in Europe and the USA. THE FRESH PICK OF THE WEEK: This week’s pick is a strange one. A wrestler in Japan named Maho Kurone. She is known as the “Zombie Wrestler” or the “Zombie Joshi”. With only a short time of ring experience since 2016, Maho Kurone is becoming one of the most interesting wrestlers in Japan as a part of the Toyk --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/freshistheword/message
