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). Another jam packed show!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.

Until the following Monday, when we wine and dine with you kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans. God luck and good speed.
STRIGGA & Dylan return with their coverage the final days of NJPW's G1 Climax 35 – the biggest tournament of the Summer. With the final and the road leading to it being pretty controversial, did the tournament hold up the high G1 standards? What does the crowd reactions during Konosuke Takeshita vs. EVIL tell us about the individual performers and the state of the company? From booking choices and patterns to match quality and overall presentation, The Eastern Lariat breaks down what worked, what didn't, and where New Japan Pro Wrestling stands after the conclusion of the tournament.

It's a skeleton crew this week — Andy's allegedly hiding out in the Canary Islands (probably dodging Konnan), so it's just Dan, Brett, and Lucy steering this runaway train.Karrion Kross and Scarlett's contracts might be expiring… or it might be a work… or maybe it's just a distraction while WWE sleepwalks through another PR nightmare. Either way, people online make it out to be the Da Vinci Code, and we're here to poke holes in the hype.From there, we're jumping straight into the good stuff: AEW might be on its hottest run in years. Collision and Dynamite are firing on all cylinders, Forbidden Door is around the corner, and we could be seeing Nigel McGuinness in the O2. Plus, your Discord and Twitter questions take us from fantasy booking chaos to arguing about trios titles, women's tag divisions, Mercedes Mone, and everything in between.It's opinionated, unfiltered, and sometimes a bit messy — exactly how wrestling podcasting should be.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Overview of Karrion Kross and Scarlett's Situation00:00 The Hype Around Karrion Kross: A Mystery Unveiled03:22 WWE vs AEW: The Fan Dynamics and Booking Strategies06:13 The Impact of AI on WWE's Production and Creative Choices09:02 The Nexus and John Cena: A Look Back at Wrestling History12:09 AEW's Current Success and Fan Engagement15:13 Ratings and Audience Curiosity: The Shift Towards AEW18:10 Conclusion: The Future of Wrestling and Fan Expectations25:16 Wrestling Predictions and Speculations28:14 Taking the Piss Out of Ratings and Audience Engagement31:17 Streaming Services and Pay-Per-View Dynamics34:18 Trios Titles vs. Women's Tag Titles49:12 Future of Women's Tag Team Wrestling52:08 Crowning the Best: Women's Tag Team Champions55:21 Character Development: Mercedes and Harley Cameron58:27 Building Feuds: Athena and Mercedes01:04:23 Forbidden Door: Ospreay's Potential Matches01:09:33 Zack Sabre Jr. and the Future of British Wrestling
This week, Steven and Jeremy talked about the G1 Climax. A few wrestlers were eliminated from contention, but top stars such as Zack Sabre Jr., Konosuke Takeshita, David Finlay, Shingo Takagi and others are still very much alive. They discussed each match as well as looked ahead to the home stretch of the tournament and looked at possible playoff scenarios. Plus, they discussed Tetsuya Naito's recent comments.
This week on Wrestling Tonight, we break down a landmark weekend in pro wrestling. WWE's first-ever two-night SummerSlam at MetLife Stadium featured two massive world title changes, a shocking return from Brock Lesnar, and the naming of The Vision. CM Punk's long-awaited championship win over Gunther was immediately erased by Rollins' Money in the Bank cash-in, while Cody Rhodes closed out Night Two by defeating John Cena… only to watch Lesnar drop Cena with a post-match F5. We recap the full SummerSlam card, including Naomi's crafty title defense, the Wyatt Sicks' chaotic TLC win, a debut performance from Jelly Roll and Rayne Leverkusen's stand out try out. Plus, WWE crowns its first-ever ID Champions, and Triple H joins the U.S. President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. Over in AEW, Cody Rhodes speaks candidly about his 2022 departure, saying he felt “disrespected” by the company he helped build. Meanwhile, AEW returns to Chicago for Worlds End 2025, as MJF captures the CMLL Light Heavyweight Championship and sets up a collision course with AEW World Champion Hangman Page. We also update the G1 Climax 35 standings as Yuya Uemura continues his rise, Zack Sabre Jr. surges in B Block, and contenders like Boltin Oleg, Drilla Moloney, and Takeshita shape the race for the semifinals. Plus: – TNA builds toward Emergence with Trick Williams vs. Moose – AEW Tag Title Eliminator Tournament heats up – Vince McMahon cited for reckless driving after a July 24 accident – Weekly preview for RAW, Dynamite, NXT, Impact, and Collision – Upcoming events: Forbidden Door, Clash in Paris, Victory Road, and more

In the spirit of the season, The Eastern Lariat returns with deep dive into the big summer gatherings of pro wrestling in japan – the major tournaments. The show starts out with Dylan's rundown of Stardom's 5Star Grand Prix up until Day 4 and then turns to New Japan Pro Wrestling's G1 Climax 35 that crossed the half way point this past weekend. The big question here is: What's in the cards for which performer? The show of course also offers a series of recommended matches, highlights performers and performances and also questions unwritten rules of pro wrestling in Japan. Deservedly so so, All Japan Pro Wrestling is in the main event spot of this show for their excellent, dramatic and energizing Summer Action Wars from Ota Ward that saw two high-class matches in the World Tag Team Title Match and the Final of the Zennichi Junior Festival and that could steer AJPW in the right direction.
On this episode of the Eastern Lariat podcast, STRIGGA & Dylan dive into a packed puroresu lineup. They kick things off with Pro Wrestling NOAH, where KENTA has taken center stage in a major way for the first time since 2014. Then it's over to All Japan Pro Wrestling for a deep look at the Zennichi Junior Tournament and what it means for the promotion's junior division – is this the best its ever been? From there, STRIGGA & Dylan turn their attention to NJPW's G1 Climax 35. They give a synopsis of the first 7 days of the tournament analyzing each competitor's performance so far, comment on booking decisions, and who might make it to the playoffs with Block B being in complete disarray after Gabe Kidd's injury. Finally, things are wrapped up with high speed review of Stardom's 5STAR Grand Prix opening night. Join in for a full tour of the Japanese wrestling landscape!
A busy week got busier for Steven and Jeremy as the first four nights of the G1 Climax tournament took place, followed by the news of Hulk Hogan's passing. Steven looked back at Hogan's long history with New Japan and how he became the biggest foreign star NJPW ever had. Plus, they also broke down the G1, with Gabe Kidd's injury, YOSHI-HASHI's run, Taichi's connection to fans and Great O-Khan's impressive match quality catching their attention. Also, will Zack Sabre Jr. and Shingo Takagi finally win a match in the ring soon?
Paul Lazenby has a new book, "When We Were Bouncers 2," and he's sharing some of the crazier stories on the Steve Austin Show. He's also talking about the New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 tournament, Kenny Omega, Juice Robinson, and Zack Sabre Jr. Plus, Paul just finished filming the new "Predator" movie and will share what he can from that set along with stories from his days as a movie stunt man, including the films he did as Steve Austin's stunt double! And then Wade Keller joins after the show to break down this week's WWE Monday Night RAW and Smackdown.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
