89: Wrestling Omakase #89: WWE Fastlane, New Japan Cup Nights 4-7 & Momo-Jungle w/ Bryan Quinlan Mar 16, 2019

Show notes

This week on Wrestling Omakase we talk an eclectic mix of wrestling. I'm joined by returning guest and my longtime wrestling travel companion Bryan Quinlan (@IMNOTQUINLAN (https://twitter.com/IM_NOT_QUINLAN) ) as we start in the land of World Wrestling Entertainment, breaking down a pretty decent Fastlane show and some of the more confusing aspects of the Wrestlemania build-up. Once that's out of the way we turn back to the New Japan Cup to cover nights 4-7, featuring an impassioned defense of SANADA (who took a verbal beatdown recently from a sister VOW network podcast), mixed thoughts on an Ospreay-Archer match everyone else seemed to love, lots of love for Ishii-Taichi and Tanahashi-Taguchi, and being slightly disappointed by a still great Ibushi-ZSJ match. Finally we wrap things up with thoughts on a recent match from STARDOM, Momo Watanabe vs. Jungle Kyona from about two weeks ago in Nagoya. All this and more, this week!

9: Everything Elite 9: Road to Double or Nothing, BTE Recap, AAA Rey de Reyes Involvement! Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to Episode 9 of Everything Elite! This week, AB, Nate and Mike are all back together to talk about the news this week in All Elite Wrestling and the Elite Extended Universe. It's a slow news week for AEW, so the guys go through their recaps of Road to Double or Nothing and Being the Elite along with the other news that surrounds the promotion. They also go on tangents about St. Louis Breweries, lying about your height at auditions, Metal Gear Solid references, and G1 Dallas' poor ticket sales. It's a tangent-heavy EE, so if you have any complaints, please send them to @aptaube. Please follow our twitter account @EverythingAEW, subscribe to us on the podcast platform of your choice, and rank and review the show if you have the chance!
