Kris and David are joined by Dave Prazak (@DavePrazak) to discuss the week that was October 26-November 1, 1991.We start in WCW where we talk about the CHAMBER OF HORRORS and the rest of the wacky Halloween Havoc 1991 PPV, including Barry Windham getting his hand "broken” by Larry Zbyszko, Paul E. Dangerously's big return, the debut of the WCW Halloween Phantom/his unmasking as “Ravishing” Rick Rude, and so much more. This is a definite WCW EVERYBODY section, as that PPV is an all-timer, so you definitely don't want to miss it.Then we go international, where we chat about SWS running some big shows, Nobuhiko Takada and Trevor Berbick having a press conference for their upcoming fight, the ongoing strike by the Sindicato Nacional de Luchadores in Mexico, and much more.Next, we go back to the U.S. for the indie scene, where we have Herb Abrams threatening to sue everyone, the real story on Gordon Scozzari and his AWF, Joel Goodhart wanting to run TWA shows in Florida, the birth of Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Dr. Tom Prichard cutting a promo on USWA TV about folks who think he sounds too much like Roddy Piper, and ESPN saving the Global Wrestling Federation, among other things.Then we close with the WWF, where we talk about Ric Flair not doing big business in his first house show run and why that was, Sgt. Slaughter wanting his country back, Steve Beverly going over the state of wrestling on TV, and other assorted goodies.Prazak is always a fantastic guest, and this week is no different, so you know the drill.

Gene Pelc is an invaluable member of the Tokyo ex-pat community and a “legend” whose revolutionary ideas brought profound contributions to the entertainment and pro-wrestling industries. It is an honor to have him on the show to share behind-the-scenes stories about his days as the representative of Marvel Comics in Japan, acquiring the TV rights and becoming the booker for UWFI, and founding Pelc Enterprises. Ted, Gene's son, also joins us and sheds light on the workings of the wrestling world from his expertise as an editor and color commentator.

Back to the Dome as the coproduced NJPW and UWFi inter-promotional show that had influence over the creation of the nWo and creative direction of WCW.   Antonio Inoki, Big Van Vader, Shinya Hashimoto, Kingpin, Masahiro Chono, Keiji Mutoh and more are all featured in this episode.  

Having dispensed with NJPW and UWFI's dealings with the now-former Soviet Union, the PPP crew turn their attention to the adventures of Eastern Bloc combat athletes in two other Japanese wrestling companies: FMW and RINGS. Marvel in wonder as David finally gets to wax lyrical about carny par excellence Atsushi Onita, a fascist gets kicked, one of the greatest matches of all time is dissected at length, and we discover why one-night 32-man MMA tournaments are not the best idea. We'll also look at what was going on in Russia in the mid-90s and how it precipitated today's awful imperialist mess. MATCHES: Atsushi Onita vs. Grigori Veritchev (FMW, 29 May 1991) Akira Maeda vs. Andrei Kopylov (RINGS, 21 August 1992) Tony Halme vs. Tariel Bitsadze (RINGS, 22 October 1994) Kiyoshi Tamura vs. Volk Han (RINGS, 22 January 1997) Tsuyoshi Kohsaka vs. Grom Zaza (RINGS, 22 July 1997) Hiromitsu Kanehara vs. Mikhail Ilyukhin (RINGS, 28 March 1998)

As they get ready for So far to go this Friday I sit with one of the guys incharge of Paradigm Pro as we discuss not only that show but also the unique UWFI rules. --- 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/drinkinatmos/message

Kris & David are joined by the returning Beau James (@kingofkingsport) for a TWO-PART episode of BTS celebrating our 350th show, discussing the week-plus that was April 12-19, 1994. We start with WCW, where it's a massive section featuring Hulk Hogan officially reaching a deal with the company, Jesse Ventura winning his big videotape royalties lawsuit over the WWF, Brian Pillman & Steve Austin re-upping their contracts for two years, 2 Cold Scorpio getting fired over his love of jazz cigarettes, Missy Hyatt on A Current Affair, and, oh yeah…SPRING STAMPEDE '94, one of the greatest PPV's ever. We then go to Japan, where we talk about an epic April 16th in Tokyo, as All Japan has Champion Carnival finals at the Budokan after Mitsuharu Misawa's "injury" shook everything up, while New Japan has the first SUPER J-CUP at Sumo Hall, which changed Japanese wrestling in many ways both in Japan and in western fan culture. We also have the UWFi returning to PPV in the United States, Tonya Harding turning down All Japan Women, and tons more. Check out part 2 for Other North America, Other USA, and the WWF!Timestamps:0:00:00 WCW2:54:56 Japan: AJPW, NJPW, FMW, NFW, NOW, PWC, W*ING, PWFG, RINGS, UWFi, AJW, & LLPWTo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

Dylan hosts a very special historical episode of the Eastern Lariat, joined by his good friend Dr. Jonathan Foye, the author of Ganbaru, the story of how AJPW survived the 2000 NOAH split & his new friend, who happens to be a legendary journalist, who has experience in writing, podcasting, commentating, & working behind the scenes in Japanese wrestling for over 3 decades, Fumi Saito. We discuss many topics on this show centered around Sumo Palace (aka Sumo Hall). We start all the way from the original incarnation of the building nearly 200 years ago to the incarnations of the Kokugikan that followed, then the many big matches and events that took place there over the years and it's recent resurgence over the last month with STARDOM, Zero1, NJPW & NOAH all have or are about to run shows there in the span of a month. Historical content we touch on is too much to list but include:   Rikidozan's start in Sumo Palace and incident with Masahiko Kimura.   NJPW's success in the 80's and Inoki's ways & matches.   The IWGP Title inaugural tournaments.   Tiger Mask(s)!   The famous riots in 1984 & 1987 at the venue.   WWF running in Japan and their interactions with AJPW & NJPW in the early 90's.   Super J Cup and it's legacy among English speaking fans as well as Japanese.   The dark ages of wrestling in Japan in the 2000s and the many companies that ran it over the years.   Thank you for listening to our show and please follow Fumi @fumihikodayo , Dylan @Viva_Zero , Jonathan @JonthanFoye and of course the show @EasternLariat for updates on all things Japanese wrestling, and a new episode with Dylan re-joined by STRIGGA very soon!   Thank you!

We're back in the USSR! Fresh off the heels of their special on the Tokyo Dome show featuring Comrades Hashimikov, Zangiev, Berkovich et al., the boys now take a look at what the Red Bull Army did next. We kick off with NJPW's 1989 New Year's Eve extravaganza in Moscow (yes, really), before getting our teeth into what happened when those Soviet shooters wound up in UWFI. Taking in the fall of the Soviet Union and the definitely much better and not at all kleptocratic governments that took its place, Gary "A Genuine Menace" Albright, the ethical implications of fancying Gerry Adams and the welcome return to the podcast of PPP fave and punching bag extraordinaire Yoji Anjo, Episode 25 is the perfect way to get yourself in the mood for the inevitable withering away of the capitalist state. MATCHES: Nobuhiko Takada (c) vs. Salman Hashimikov (Pro-Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship) (UWFI, 18 July 1993) Dan Severn and Gary Albright vs. Salman Hashimikov and Vladimir Berkovich (UWFI, 5 December 1993) Yoji Anjo vs. Victor Zangiev (UWFI, 3 March 1994)

Part two in our UWF series starts off with a talk on UWF Newborn, the short-lived but extremely popular second iteration of UWF. Despite lasting just two years, the effect of UWF's style was so pronounced and severe that fans still can feel the aftershock. We'd later discuss the subsequent off-shoot companies that came out of “UWF 2.0,” like Pancrase, RINGS, UWFi (or U-INTER), Fujiwara-gumi, plus other related combat groups like Shooto and K-1.The next episode will kick off midway through the '90s, before the UWFi's demise and ahead of its massive '95–'96 collaboration with NJPW.

They start by apologizing for the fan in the background, which is quite loud, but it felt like 100 degrees in New York City when they recorded this and they didn't wanna die of heatstroke. They then get into the reason why they're here, breaking down six different randomly selected matches from six different randomly selected Tokyo Dome shows, in our second episode talking random Dome matches! They have six entirely different Dome shows from the last time around, so here's the full list of matches covered on the episode in order:SWS Wrestlefest: Mr. Perfect vs. The Texas Tornado, 3/30/91- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7rmbLEMMBcNJPW Wrestling World: Jushin Thunder Liger vs. Koji Kanemoto, 1/4/99- https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00153_1_4NJPW Wrestling World: Toshiaki Kawada vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, 1/4/01- https://front.njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00157_1_6NOAH Departure: Mitsuharu Misawa & Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Keiji Mutoh & Taiyo Kea, 7/10/04- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJWD1MCNcaENJPW Wrestle Kingdom 5: Takashi Sugiura & Yoshihiro Takayama vs. Hirooki Goto & Kazuchika Okada, 1/4/11- https://front.njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00175_1_9NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 7: Prince Devitt vs. Kota Ibushi vs. Low Ki, 1/4/13- https://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00203_1_7Topics that come up along the way include: boy did we not expect to watch a WWF match on this, three people involved in this match are dead (and one of them is a pedophile), the iron claw is over at least, Kanemoto is a jerk, Liger doesn't sell the leg, why did they bother with this IWGP title tournament, Kawada and Tenzan just beat the absolute piss out of each other, everyone wanted to see Misawa vs. Mutoh but this is the best we got, some history on Taiyo Kea, this man looks nothing like Kazuchika Okada, how did Okada tear himself away from that TNA excursion to do this match, what in god's name is wrong with Low Ki, and finally: three ways are still bad.Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter to submit questions for future episodes and get alerts every time new episodes go up (both free feed & Patreon)- @wrestleomakase!Wrestling Omakase has dedicated channels on TWO Discords!

Once that's out of the way they talk about what else has been going on- John is very excited about their new soundbar and Dolby Atmos, Devin watched the original Dragonball and saw Goku's little wee-wee, John was thrilled to welcome Bakarina And Her Fabulous Bisexual Harem back to the airwaves with the return of Hamefura, and who knows what other random stuff they talked about.But then they do turn their attention to some actual Japanese wrestling shows, starting with the King of DDT finals from July 4th at Korakuen Hall.

Plus, some breaking news on a big upcoming tag team match for their outdoor Kawasaki Peter Pan show in August and the start of the next D-Ou.After the DDT talk is over, John and Devin head over to GLEAT to discuss their official launch show (after months of "soft launch" shows), GLEAT Ver. 1.

They also of course review all the matches as well.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we review two shows from Korakuen Hall: the 2nd Round of the King of DDT tournament and Tokyo Joshi's 6/17 show, Additional Attack.The Wrestling Omakase Patreon is your best source for coverage of Japanese wrestling, from yesterday and today. We've hit the home stretch of our series covering every Naito vs. Tanahashi match in order, as we're right in the middle of their legendary 2017 trilogy! Listen now as we go over their epic match from Wrestle Kingdom 10, and coming this week we'll discuss the rematches from Dominion & the G1 Climax! Plus: our annual Mid-Year Awards, held every year at the end of June, will be this coming week and exclusively on the Omakase Patreon! And once the Naito/Tanahashi series wraps up, we'll be resuming our series covering every Tokyo Dome main event in order (we left off in 1995, so we're about to hit all the NJPW vs. UWFi stuff!) leading up to New Japan's rescheduled WRESTLE GRAND SLAM event at the end of July. You get access to all of this plus everything else we've ever done- our 1st Round coverage of the 2021 King of DDT, exclusive free episodes, matches requested by patrons, all the major tournaments of the past year covered, ANIME OMAKASE, and much more! You can get all of this right now for only $5 at http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakaseJohn is joined by returning guest Hayley (@choerrycoloured) as they start out with the ever-popular anime discussion, going over shows they've been watching lately, more thoughts on the return of cons and more. Once that's out of the way they turn to the King of DDT 2nd Round show, held on June 20th at Korakuen Hall, breaking it all down match-by-match. They get into a disappointing main event, another Sasaki Screwjob™, Takeshita and MAO having a friendly bro battle, Endo and Higuchi tearing the house down, a rant on how good Tetsuya Endo is (and a prominent British flippy wrestler he's better than), some upcoming DDT announcements, a fun 3-way tag, UTAMI'S DAD GETS SOME, and the saga of the Paulie clan. Plus, somehow a digression about AEW stables is in there somewhere. I don't know how that happened either.Once that's finally done they head over to the magical world of Tokyo Joshi to break down their June 17th Additional Attack show, also from Korakuen Hall. They start with a long review of the NEO Biishiki-gun vs. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh main event, a truly awesome match that they break down from all angles, which includes another rant on why Sakisama is so great. Then they break down the rest of the show, including long explanations on Japanese Gal/Gyaru culture (due to "Gal Wrestler" Marika Kobashi challenging for the International Princess Title in the semi-main) and the 48/46 groups (because SKE48 idol and new wrestler Yuki Arai has her first ever singles match here), and this has to be the only wrestling podcast you can come to for that kind of information. If there's another one, I'd love to meet them.This week's edition of Wrestling Omakase is sponsored by Manscaped.

Kris & David are joined by Jose Fernandez (@pantherwagner) to discuss the week that was October 3-9, 1991. We talk about Paul E. Dangerously being suspended for possibly leaking details of a Jerry Lawler/Lex Luger title unification match to Eddie Gilbert and the fallout from that. We also discuss other WCW wackiness, 2 Cold Scorpio turning heads in New Japan, the big Luchador strike in Mexico, Eddie Gilbert & Jerry Lawler trying to unify titles themselves in Memphis, and Hulk Hogan' “Suburban Commando” media tour, plus Jose gives us his live rundown of the WWF debut in Barcelona, Spain.
