We're back on Wrestling Omakase to discuss four very different Japanese wrestling promotions in another jampacked episode! John is joined by Milo (@primasteras on Twitter), someone they used to host Open the Voice Gate with right on this very network many, many years ago by now, making it a bit of a reunion for the two of them! Unfortunately the tragic passing of AJPW's Taishin Nagao absolutely had to be our first topic, so major content warning there (not that we really discuss anything that happened in detail though). The discussion of his death goes for about the first fourteen-and-a-half minutes.Then the two of them make a somewhat awkward transition to other things going on in their life (John went to an AEW Collision taping although they did not give a full review of the show or anything, as they figured last week's Forbidden Door review was more than enough AEW content on Omakase for one lifetime), before they head over to their first true topic of the episode: a full review of the STARDOM to the World 9/6 PPV, as Milo brings the perspective of a more casual/occasional STARDOM viewer while the two discuss yet another very good show from the World Wonder Ring. They also talk about upcoming title challenges and give a quick preview of the next 9/10 Korakuen, while John makes a bit of a case for Starlight Kid as 2025's Most Outstanding Wrestler.Then they move over to NOAH to talk a very eventful opening night of the N-1 Victory tournament, held on 9/8 in front of yet another packed Korakuen Hall audience. They discuss a possible promotion-altering injury to their franchise star, some very uneven matches, and an enormous GHC Jr. Title match as well. Then they look ahead to the first full week of N-1 action coming up.Afterward, John & Milo head over to Dragongate to discuss their 9/4 Korakuen Hall event. They discuss the debut of new heel stable Gaja Dokuro (and their connection to Rito Revolto- yes, really!), a great Brave Gate title match, a Triangle Gate ladder match the two of them felt very differently on, and discuss a little bit on why DG's attendances may be lagging a bit at the moment. They then look ahead to what's coming up next in DG, including a very odd show booked for later this month!Finally, the two of them wrap things up with a look at the four quarterfinal matches of the very underwhelming AJPW Oudou Tournament, which just hasn't been good at all. John & Milo then talk a little about the upcoming semis & finals from their 9/15 Korakuen show to wrap things up for another week.Check out Milo's article on Kzy he mentioned here: https://sixtyminutedraw.com/kzy-ode-to-joyFollow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried, notorious ex-FTX founder and crypto's fallen king, continues to cast a long shadow even from a jail cell. Over the past few days, his name surfaced in headlines thanks to a burst of news stories and cultural moments—remarkable for a man serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted of fraud and conspiracy in what authorities called one of the biggest financial crimes in US history, as widely reported by ABC News and major outlets.This week, business media revisited Bankman-Fried's early bet on Anthropic, the AI company that just rocketed to an eye-watering $183 billion valuation after its latest funding round. When Bankman-Fried led a $500 million FTX investment in Anthropic in 2021, FTX scooped up an 8 percent stake. But after the FTX implosion, bankruptcy management cashed out for $1.3 billion. If they'd held those shares until now, the stake would be worth nearly $15 billion—a missed windfall of over $13 billion. The story resurfaced across business wires, underlining Bankman-Fried's uncanny eye for opportunity paired with catastrophic misfortune, and fueling armchair debates about “what-if” in crypto and venture circles, according to Benzinga.But the headlines this week weren't only financial. Multiple NPR-affiliated radio stations gleefully reported that Bankman-Fried is part of the cultural backdrop for a satirical new musical, itself a sensation, that lampoons life inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. Apparently, he was briefly housed with both Diddy and the alleged killer of a major healthcare CEO, and their supposed jailhouse rapport became fodder for this wildly popular show. The meta-celebrity status achieved by Bankman-Fried, now more plot device than participant, reveals how his story has permeated not only finance and law but also pop culture itself, as highlighted by NPR and KUOW.Long-form coverage keeps his saga alive: Vice Media and The Information are collaborating on an upcoming documentary dissecting his meteoric rise and fall, his devotion to effective altruism, and the wider Silicon Valley ecosystem that turbocharged FTX's rise. Larger headlines this week did not reveal new legal movements or interviews, and no fresh social media from Sam himself, but persistent rumors continue circulating about efforts for a pardon—considered highly unlikely by most insiders—while tabloids recycle stories about his prison life, media blitz strategy, and bizarre interactions with other celebrity inmates, including rumored solitary confinement after a controversial interview, as reported earlier by Fortune. There are no reliable reports of new lawsuits or regulatory action in the past few days, but the missed Anthropic fortune and his ongoing afterlife in the cultural zeitgeist ensure Sam Bankman-Fried's improbable relevance stubbornly endures.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

This week on Wrestling Omakase John is joined by a first time guest, Snazzy from the Social Suplex Newsletter (making a very last minute appearance that John is very grateful for!), for a tour through a whole bunch of very different wrestling. But first, John complains about their baseball team, tries to explain their very weird and complicated sports fandom alignment, and the two of them make fun of Manchester United for some reason. Then it's over to wrestling where they start out with a fashionably late review of AEW Forbidden Door from last weekend, with Snazzy providing live impressions from inside the building and John providing, uh, the kind of takes you've come to expect from them about American wrestling. Hey, they really liked three of the matches on this show at least! And they didn't really care about the gummy bears! But jesus christ that MJF match....Once that and a bunch of other random tangents are out of the way (even for Omakase this is a pretty tangent-heavy episode....) they head over to the land of the Dramatic Dream Team for full reviews of nights 1 & 2, the Peter Pan show (and if you'd like to skip right to this it starts around 1:30:00- just saying!). John & Snazzy put over the year DDT is having in general and then two shows full of great stuff, starting with day 1 from Higashin Arena which featured a super unique Extreme title match (that maybe just has a couple minor flaws that could be fixed next time if they ever tried this again), an awesome tag match with Zack Sabre Jr. & Kosei Fujita from NJPW, and an amazing old school main event with Kazusada Higuchi and Jun Akiyama. Then it's on to day 2 from Korakuen Hall featuring Minoru Suzuki turning back the clock against MAO, another great title match with Higuchi and Ueno, and a moment at the end of the show that's so amazing John called it one of their favorite moments as a professional wrestling fan.Next they head over to AJPW to talk about a very underwhelming first round of the AJPW Oudou Tournament, burying a few dry as dirt matches and wondering why Hideki Suzuki even bothered bringing these ex-NXT people if he doesn't even want to try when he wrestles them. Not a good weekend for 'ol Zen Nihon!Finally, they wrap things up with brief previews of the 9/6 STARDOM to the World PPV (well, the four matches we actually know if it at least) and the NOAH N-1 Victory tournament that kicks off next Monday (9/8).

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been rewriting the pop superstar playbook these past weeks. Just days ago, her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour set new historic records in Latin America and the United States, with ticket sales now surpassing 2.5 million according to LOS40 Spain. At 48, she's become the first Latin female artist to headline a sold-out show at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium, while in Mexico City, her run of stadium shows shattered Taylor Swift's old record with eleven at Estadio GNP Seguros, and ticket sales so far have surpassed one million nationwide as reported by Ocesa. Mexican press estimate her Mexican shows have already delivered upwards of $30 million and with the Americas' leg alone, the tour has grossed close to $250 million stateside and another $100 million throughout Latin America, with industry sources projecting she'll ultimately top $300 million by the time she continues through Europe and Asia next year, a feat Billboard Boxscore calls one of the most profitable tours of the decade.This steep commercial success is matched by a wave of continuous press and digital chatter. On August 20, she took a meditative beach break in Cabo, and her pink metallic bikini photos triggered a full-scale social media frenzy. Outlets from AmoMama to PageSix flooded timelines with those images that—depending on your perspective—either wowed fans with her ageless physique or fueled criticism of her swimsuit choices, but there's no doubt the world was watching as the images went viral. Some praised her discipline and natural beauty, while her critics speculated about her mood, generating hundreds of thousands of interactions on Instagram alone.Meanwhile, Shakira's been highly visible off the stage as well. Her May appearance at the Met Gala and her chat with Jimmy Fallon caused a second round of headlines, as she discussed balancing motherhood, tour exhaustion, and the relentless pressure of living at center stage. Music outlets highlighted her collaborations with Cardi B, Karol G, and Rauw Alejandro from her twelfth studio album, and video clips of backstage moments with her sons Milán and Sasha fanned out across fan accounts.Upcoming, she's gearing up for major stadiums like Allegiant in Las Vegas and shows in Guadalajara, with Mexican media dubbing Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran “one of the most successful tours in the history of live entertainment.” As for speculation and rumor, while fans and pundits buzz about new music and a return to Europe and Asia, the only confirmed business moves center around her ongoing tour and forthcoming wardrobe surprises—no new ventures or relationships have been substantiated. In short, Shakira's living proof that after decades at the top, she can still surprise the world, profit mightily, and stay the subject of perpetual fascination.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Wrestling Omakase is back to wrap up a super eventful, super awesome STARDOM 5 Star GP! John is joined by longtime viewer and jubilant Momo Watanabe fan Velkej Bracha (@Velkej_Bracha) as he celebrates the #Momo5Star prophecy finally coming to pass. They give a full, lengthy and detailed review of both the last two nights which covered the entire playoffs, with all four first round matches, all four quarterfinals, both semis and the final covered in great detail. Plus, John wonders who Saori Anou's oshi could possibly be, the two of them decide we're allowed to have one spotty cat as a treat, and John wonders how they're supposed to be critical when everything is this great. Oh well. At least *something* in wrestling is these days!Then it's time for the full 5 Star GP wrap up, as John ranks the four blocks and then ranks each wrestler in each block by average star rating, with lots of thoughts on who among the young roster took a big step forward and who just kind of stalled out (plenty of people for both categories!). Plus, John and Velkej list some of their favorite matches so you can go back and check some stuff out if you missed anything, and John even gives their favorite overall block shows as well.Once they're finally done with STARDOM (and to be clear it's the vast majority of the run time), they turn their attention over to Sendai Girls to talk about their "The Biggest" show from Xebio Arena this past Sunday (8/24). They discuss SenJo drawing an enormous house, a weird and nondescript undercard, one incredible hardcore tag that saved the show (well, for one of them at least), and yet more utterly baffling SenJo booking.Finally, John wraps things up solo with a brief review of AJPW's Oudou Tournament opener, a tournament we'll be following going forward. John discusses another sleepy undercard, two great tournament matches and then a third one in the main event that just kind of unexpectedly sucked. 2 out of 3 isn't bad!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @JustOneEnbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cape Breton's latest rising star, Taylor Jensen, joins us for a heartfelt conversation about her music, her roots, and the winding path that's brought her to this moment.   Taylor's style is the perfect mix of classic country storytelling with a modern pop-country edge—like a sip of sweet tea with just the right amount of spice. Her debut single End the Road earned her a spot on Spotify's New Music Friday Country and Fresh Finds Country playlists, and her latest single “Strange” is everything you want in a beautifully executed work of art. She is a gentle spirit with fire and spice in her creative approach.    We dive into: - Growing up in a small Cape Breton town of 1200 and finding her voice in the music scene - Her connection to spirituality and how she's embracing her “witchy” side - Navigating some of the biggest performances of her career while experiencing the grief of losing her mother - The balance of being soft yet fierce, vulnerable yet resilient -Her upcoming Songwriter's Circle at Togetherland Art Gallery (August 30) with collaborators Timothy Hatcher and Avery Dakin   Taylor is an old soul with a youthful heart, and one of the most exciting voices in country music right now. We're so proud to share her story and can confidently say: she's absolutely one to watch.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. This week's episode covers one of the most loaded slates of the year as the summer calendar reaches a boiling point. We begin with a full preview of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where the world's biggest promotions collide once again on one of wrestling's most anticipated stages. Headlining the card, AEW World Champion Hangman Page defends against MJF in a long-awaited rematch, while AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada puts his title on the line against Swerve Strickland. The show also features the reunion of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage as they team for the first time in over 14 years, Toni Storm defending the AEW Women's World Championship against Athena, and Zack Sabre Jr. meeting Nigel McGuinness for the IWGP World Championship. Kyle Fletcher defends the TNT title against Hiromu Takahashi, Mercedes Moné faces Persephone, Alex Windsor, and a Stardom representative in a TBS Championship Four-Way, and a stacked lights-out steel cage match pits Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in his London farewell against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks. From there, we turn to WWE's future with NXT Heatwave. Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship against either Trick Williams or Je'Von Evans, while Hank Walker and Tank Ledger put the NXT Tag Team titles on the line against DarkState. Jacy Jayne defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship in a triple threat against Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, and Jordynne Grace collides with Blake Monroe. A number one contender's match for the NXT Women's Championship will also take place featuring Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice. Over in TNA, Emergence 2025 delivered a card full of major results. Trick Williams retained the World Championship against Moose in a match that had the Baltimore crowd split but firmly cemented Williams as TNA's top babyface. The Hardys retained the World Tag Team titles against The Rascalz in one of the night's highlights, Leon Slater held onto the X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander, and Mike Santana defeated Sami Callihan in a Baltimore Street Fight that may have marked Callihan's farewell. While technical issues marred the preshow, the main event and key title bouts gave TNA momentum heading into Bound for Glory. In Mexico, Triplemanía marked the official beginning of WWE and AAA's working relationship. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Nick Khan stood alongside AAA leadership to emphasize collaboration. On the card, Omos won the Copa Bardahl, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. claimed the Latin American title, and Psycho Clown and Pagano captured the AAA Tag Team Championship. Judgment Day scored a win in trios action, Flammer retained the Reina de Reinas Championship, and in the main event, El Hijo del Vikingo retained the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way over Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano, with AJ Styles making a shocking run-in to help seal the finish. The event had the production, presentation, and pacing of a WWE show, sparking debate about AAA's evolving identity under this partnership. On the business side, TKO announced that UFC will end its traditional pay-per-view model beginning in January 2026 under a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal with Paramount Plus and CBS. WWE also secured a five-year, $1.6 billion agreement with ESPN, moving Premium Live Events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to ESPN's new streaming service. At the same time, reports revealed WWE holds an option to purchase TNA and a right of first refusal should the company seek another buyer, further linking the two promotions' futures. Finally, NJPW's G1 Climax 35 has reached its conclusion. Konosuke Takeshita defeated EVIL in the final at Ariake Arena, fighting through an injured knee and overcoming House of Torture interference to secure his first G1 victory. Along the way, Takeshita shocked Zack Sabre Jr. in the semifinals, setting the stage for their Wrestle Kingdom clash, where he will challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. With this win, Takeshita declared himself “The Alpha,” signaling his rise as NJPW's new international ace.

John is joined by returning guest Arametha as they start with a bunch of nonsense about stuffed animals, rhythm games, anime cons and who knows what else. Then they get into the end of the NJPW G1 Climax 35 with reviews of the last four nights of the tournament, starting with the final B block night, then the Quarterfinals from Korakuen and the Semis & Final from Ariake Arena this weekend. Boy is there a lot to discuss here, starting obviously with the controversial choice of final, the strange fan reaction, various theories on why they decided to go the direction they did, and a whole lot more.Then they turn their attention back to the World Wonder Ring for another week of the STARDOM 5 Star GP, covering days 9 through 11- the final three block nights. They look at a stretch of more great matches and some really weird and somewhat baffling booking decisions on the last night especially. Then they look ahead to the upcoming four playoff rounds, giving their predictions for how the entire playoffs will go and who might be ultimately crowned this year's 5 Star GP winner!Finally, they wrap things up by going back to NJPW for a final look at the G1- they go wrestler-by-wrestler, as John ranks them by their average star ratings for the tournament in each block, discusses their performances and who had standout (or disappointing) years. They also give a list of recommended best matches for the entire G1 if you missed some or all of it and would like some picks to go back and watch now that it's over (and frankly, thank god it is).Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Wrestling Omakase we're still on the road, so it's another live-to-tape/running audio blog edition as we keep you up to date with all of the tournament action across two promotions! This time around we go in chronological order through both promotions, alternating between NJPW G1 Climax & STARDOM 5 Star GP shows. John is once again joined by their good friend Quinlan to break down the G1 shows and goes solo on the 5 Star shows, coming live from a hotel room in DC for a bunch of it. So you get some random thoughts about Otakon too mixed in, because why not? Also, John made a bunch of AEW fans mad again. Shocking news there. With guest appearances by multiple other people, an unruly hotel room air conditioner, and the sound of Nicole's controller, it's a hell of a show! Also one of these G1 shows really sucked and we had to bury it a lot, but hey, at least all the 5 Star stuff was good!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
