Emerald FlowShow #103: No Fun Aoyagi Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Paul and Gerard are back with a lot on their plate. There's a little GLEAT and Big Japan. Then a look at NOAH as it gears up for a big Sumo Hall show at the beginning of May with some less than inspiring booking. Finally, they review first four shows of the Champion Carnival which have exceeded expectations.

Wrestling Omakase #292: Wrestlemania Week Live Report (STARDOM, TJPW, Marvelous, DG, West Coast & More), All Star Grand Queendom Preview, AJPW Champion Carnival Nights 2/3 & SEAdLINNNG 4/17 Korakuen w/ Snazzy Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

John is back from Las Vegas where they only lost SOME money! Yeah!! They're joined by Eric aka Snazzy from the Joshi-ing Around podcast & Social Suplex newsletter, who is in fact about to leave for a big trip himself- Japan for ASGQ, Marvelous' 10th anniversary show and more! They talk a bit about that before transitioning to a long recap of John's entire Vegas trip, including reviews of eight different wrestling shows- many of them from Japanese promotions- and a ton of random anecdotes on just what things were like on the ground. Then John & Snazzy do a full preview of STARDOM's biggest show of the year from Yokohama Arena, discuss the chances of Sayaka Kurara actually winning the red belt, compare the show to last year on paper and more.

After that it's time to talk about some shows that actually happened in Japan, starting with nights 2 & 3 of the AJPW Champion Carnival. John was apparently lower on some of this than consensus and shares some thoughts. Then they discuss SEAdLINNNG for maybe the first time ever on Omakase, as they break down their big Korakuen Hall show that featured two outstanding matches. Eric does a great job introducing their young roster if you'd like a good place to jump in, and the two of them discuss just how great the joshi scene is right now in general as well.
