About this episode

The episode covers various wrestling events in Japan, featuring detailed discussions on multiple promotions and tournaments.

It's another absurdly jampacked show covering all of the biggest promotions in Japan and some of the smallest too, men's and women's! John is joined by returning guest John DK for their first solo episode together (he had previously appeared during the WK preview) and they DEFINITELY DON'T WEEB OUT IN EMBARRASSING FASHION FOR 20+ MINUTES. Nosiree. Once they get into the actual wrestling topics for this episode, it's, uh, not a short list: -Nights 1-3 of the 2026 STARDOM Cinderella Tournament covered in great detail! Already a great tournament and it's not even over yet! -Nights 1-4 of the New Japan Cup, which includes the Anniversary Show. Uh, this kinda fucking sucked! -NOAH's 3/8 Yokohama Budokan show featuring a great main event and a very confusing end of show segment! -DG's 3/3 Korakuen show that continued their uninspiring run of late! -Tokyo Joshi's 3/7 show from Shin Kiba 1st Ring continuing their build to Ryogoku at the end of the month! How does Yuki Arai keep doing this?? -Ice Ribbon's 3/8 show from Itabashi, because this is officially an Ice Ribbon podcast now! -And finally, the special Universe Magic show from (the sadly closing!!!) Shinjuku FACE! Yeah, that's a lot…
