Show notes

A quick dog walker episode (they say the perfect length of the podcast is enough time to walk your dog) is Jeff going solo with a few thoughts on AEW/Kris Statlander and where we are going into 2020. Beware, Jeff tries to end the show and finds something else to talk about.

Wrestling Omakase #125: NJPW Year in Review 2019 w/ Joel & Damon & Joe Lanza Dec 28, 2019

Show notes

This week Wrestling Omakase's third annual Year in Review series reaches its conclusion! Each week we recapped the 2019 of a specific promotion, promotions, or type of wrestling, covering all their major shows and moments and giving our picks for the major award categories. It's a great way for you to catch up with wrestling you may have missed this year and identify matches you may want to watch or rewatch before doing your end of the year awards voting!

We've reached the end of another Year in Review journey, and once again we've left one of the biggest promotions for last: New Japan Pro Wrestling. Hear to help John break down NJPW's very eventful 2019 is a real all star team of VOW podcasters: from the flagship (@voiceswrestling) it's Joe Lanza, and from our NJPW-centric podcast the Super J-Cast (@thesuperjcast) it's Joel Abraham (@joeljabraham) and Damon McDonald! John, Joe, Joel and Damon begin the episode by touching upon the recent video dropped by Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks on their acrimonious departure from NJPW before transitioning into the more macro topics of how the Elite's departure affected New Japan, whether they liked 2019 or 2018 better, and how most of NJPW's best stuff this year all came in the major tournaments.

Then they begin a thorough month-by-month recap of NJPW's 2019, starting right from the top at Wrestle Kingdom 13 and going all the way through Road to the Tokyo Dome. What parts of the year stood out more than others for the crew? What matches may have you forgotten that are worth a second look? We discuss the rise of Jay White as a top heel, the simultaneous pushes to the forefront of Will Ospreay and Shingo Takagi, Tetsuya Naito & Kota Ibushi vs. The Safety Nerds, Taichi proving the haters and the losers wrong, and much much more! Finally we wrap things up with a quick edition of our NJPW 2019 awards. It's a packed three hours plus of talk on NJPW's year, this week!

Wrestling Omakase #124: Misc. Puro (AJPW, NOAH, BJW & More!) Year in Review 2019 w/ Paul & Thomas Dec 22, 2019

Show notes

This week Wrestling Omakase's third annual Year in Review series continues! Each week from now until the end of the year we will recap the 2019 of a specific promotion, promotions, or type of wrestling, covering all their major shows and moments and giving our picks for the major award categories. It's a great way for you to catch up with wrestling you may have missed this year and identify matches you may want to watch or rewatch before doing your end of the year awards voting!

We've almost reached the end of another Year in Review series. In our penultimate episode, John is joined by returning guests and VOW contributors Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslinratings) & Paul Volsch (@Darth_Dragon) to talk a great deal of the Japanese wrestling scene. Basically we're covering all the major men's puro companies other than NJPW & DDT today, and we start with a long look at the year of All Japan Pro Wrestling. Even though business stagnated a bit, how much is the booking to blame? And was the wrestling still among the best in the world? We then turn our attention to a promotion that's received a great deal of hype this year in Pro Wrestling NOAH, as we discuss that hype vs. the reality and also some of the positive business signs for the company. We then take a look at the always-perplexing world of Big Japan Pro Wrestling, talking how their year went in some wacky directions and discussing their big shows and tournaments. Then we take quicker looks at Dragon Gate, Wrestle-1 and ZERO1.

Along the way we preview all the major early January shows for all these promotions, and then end up just playing a "Wrestle Kingdom Week: Path of Greatness" game where we map out what shows we would go to if we were going to Japan that week. If you happen to be going for the first time we also discuss the geography of various venues, in case you're wondering how quick it will be to travel between them. Then we pick our awards winners for all of these promotions in the usual categories, including a strong Match of the Year list and more. Finally we wrap things up with your questions on all sorts of different topics. It's a fun trip through a ton of different puro companies, this week!
