STR. FFS Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

On this week's STR, not a lot of news so a lot on THE LAZY RIVER OF WRESTLING CRITICISM. ICE COLD TAKES on a fun Elimination Chamber, Sasha/Kairi was great, OC/Yuta was great and the promos and storytelling had a lot to be desired. MJF is now a sociopath, Paul Heyman is going to "sleep" with Brandy and Aunt Pam and the Man are doing prop comedy, what are we doing? Nov takes SRS to task a bit, Vince isn't in creative, Jeff continues to tell you to watch Emi Sakura and he sneaks his Freebirds viewing in as well.

One of the Three Musketeers of New Japan Pro Wrestling and a certified wrestling icon, Mutoh is set to retire (we think) after a nearly 40-year career.
