Returning to a full squad, Geoffrey Wessel & Chris Damasceno welcome back special guest TheCubsFan to Episode 57 of the Podcast! This time out, we discuss the firings of Rush and Dragon Lee from CMLL, and how this actually might affect NJPW in the long term as both have elements pretty well woven into the fabric of NJPW's current identity. We also discuss the Young Lions Cup results; Jay White, Tetsuya Naito and all the moving parts in the Double Titles storyline; Fighting Spirit Unleashed, and why Geoffrey takes back everything he said about the Rock'n'Roll Express; and lastly, preview King Of Pro Wrestling and the lead-up New Japan Road tour, which features not only FOUR Hiroshi Tanahashi 20th Anniversary Matches, but also teases the return of Freaking Kishin Liger.

John and GG are back. They first remember the Monday Night War before talking about the Wednesday Night War, as well as all of the TV happening next week. Get ready people. John also talks about Karl Fredericks winning New Japan's Young Lions Cup. GG then interviews the great Robert Silva who talks about his biography series on the greatest lightweights in boxing history. He then gives his prediction for Spence vs. Porter which happens this weekend. Lastly, John and GG go over the 9/27/93 episode of Monday Night Raw, which wasn't exactly a good show. Find John on Twitter at: twitter.com/LaRoccaJL Find Robert on Twitter at: twitter.com/ROBERTSILVA5768 Our new YouTube channel is here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCaJKsqfSTkt1Cj7GZ0-yDyA Find our Facebook group here: www.facebook.com/groups/1958473677605950/ www.fightgameblog.com/ www.facebook.com/fightgamemedia/ twitter.com/fightgamemedia www.instagram.com/fightgamemedia/

This week on Wrestling Omakase we look at the end of a tour and two tournaments. John is joined by returning guest TJ (@aspir_) as they start by discussing their upcoming weekend, including two meet-ups ahead of NJPW FSU (NYC 3 pm at Pioneers Bar, Philly noon at Toll Man Joes!) and also a little bit of #animetalk. Once they actually get to the wrestling they start with New Japan, as John and TJ talk all about the Destruction in Kobe event. A lot of time is spent on the Naito-White main event as John breaks down all the reasons why they loved it, plus offers some takes on Naito's booking and some Naito fans that you may find a little surprising from them. Then the two of them break down the rest of the show, including an awesome Shingo-Goto match and the end of the Young Lions Cup. They wrap up the New Japan talk by looking ahead at the Fighting Spirit Unleashed cards plus King of Pro Wrestling and speculate about Power Struggle and the Dome. After NJPW they turn their attention to All Japan, as the two of them wrap up the Oudou Tournament that we started covering last week. We talk all four second round matches, two of which we both really loved, and then the semifinals and finals (which we disagree a bit on). Plus we discuss whether or not Jake Lee can still be saved and more. Then our last promotion discussed is STARDOM where we break down the finals of the 5STAR Tournament, Hana Kimura's last few matches in general, and TJ offers some recommendations for the rest of the tournament if you're way behind (like John was!). Finally, we tackle a big mailbag this week featuring lots of questions on all 3 companies, including: who will the next THREE World of STARDOM champions be? Who should beat Miyahara and when? What's the best inanimate object in STARDOM? Is there a ceiling for how good a Young Lion match can be? And much more!

This week on Wrestling Omakase we're joined by returning guest and VOW contributor Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslingratings) for a trip around Japanese wrestling! It starts with a deep dive into All Japan based around their 9/3 Summer Explosion Korakuen show, though we also talk at length about their booking at the moment, Kento Miyahara's title reign, why we'd like to see more cooperation between AJPW and the other puro companies and whether things feel stagnant right now. But there's also much praise for two outstanding main events as well as a couple surprisingly good undercard matches. We wrap up the AJPW segment with a look ahead to the upcoming Oudou Tournament, going over all the first round matches and who are picks are to ultimately win the entire thing. Then we turn to NJPW to talk the Road to Destruction tour, with our main focus being the Young Lions Cup, as we discuss all eight YLC matches so far. We don't do full match breakdowns for the three Korakuens but we do talk some of the major angles and feuds so far including a weirdly horny Naito-White IC feud, Ishii/YH-GOD, and more. And we do brief breakdowns of the three Korakuen main events as well as a couple other recommended matches from the shows. Then we turn our attention to the rest of the Destruction tour, specifically previewing the big matches from the Beppu, Kagoshima and Kobe shows over the next few weeks. We also give an early look at the King of Pro Wrestling card, speculate on what one of the key matches for the US Fighting Spirit Unleashed tour could be, and even give some fantasy booking for what might happen with the IC and US titles between now and Wrestle Kingdom. Our last segments takes us to the land of Tokyo Joshi and DDT, as we talk two shows both from September 1st in Osaka. The TJPW review is full of praise for what was a really fun show up and down the card, including an amazing six-person tag with Yuka Sakazaki giving an arm wringer to a mop that John gave four stars, and another great Su Yung match. The DDT review on the other hand is of possibly our least favorite big DDT show in ages, with a lot of stuff on the card that disappointed. Once that's done we look ahead to TJPW's upcoming weekend back in Tokyo and DDT's next Korakuen show at the end of the month. Finally we wrap things up with a short but spirited mailbag, including an insane question asking two people who do not watch WWE to name all 18 (!) current WWE champions. You'll have to listen to hear how we did! A really fun show! Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
