Music of the Mat Remix: White Meat Babyfaces Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

The white meat babyface is the pure, valiant hero who stands up against the villains and fights for what is right. Nowadays, it seems like we need one of those more and more. On this episode, Andrew is joined by returning guest Steve Case (Voices of Wrestling) to play songs that are just nice, pleasant, and fun to listen to (as opposed to the many dark and depressing songs that were played on the past few episodes). Artists played include Bad Company, Florence + the Machine, Blink-182, Dusty Springfield, ABBA, Jackie Wilson, Tesla, and many more. Don the white hat and get ready to kiss some babies, because this episode will make you feel like one of the good guys!

Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent Partner

Wrestling Omakase #257: NJPW G1 Climax Nights 1 & 2, NOAH 7/19 & 7/20, Sendai Girls 7/19, AJPW 7/17 & Marigold 7/16 Reviews, STARDOM 7/21 & 7/24 Previews w/ Devin Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

John is joined by returning guest Devin (@MoreThanMeatJoy on Twitter) for yet another show packed full of a busy week's worth of Japanese wrestling action! They open things up with a quick preview of STARDOM's major 7/21 Sapporo event as well as their 7/24 Korakuen later in the week, before staying in the Bushiroad Extended Universe as they break down the opening two nights of the NJPW G1 Climax in detail (also from Sapporo!). There's plenty to talk about of course: major injuries, Taichi being amazing, Ren Narita looking good again and a whole lot more. This is followed by a look ahead at all of the upcoming G1 shows in the next week.

Then they turn their attention to a packed week for Korakuen Hall shows, which they cover in chronological order: first, a Marigold show with a much-debated and very long double title match main event. Then they head over to All Japan to discuss the start of their junior tournament (lots of tournaments going on right now!), plus a tag title match (and also briefly look ahead to their own 7/21 show in Osaka as well as the Oudou Tournament in August). Next up, it's Sendai Girls to discuss a great Korakuen show of their own featuring yet more suffering for us Mika Iwata fans. And finally, they wrap things up with two very eventual shows from Pro Wrestling NOAH, featuring not one but two title changes, a surprise appearance from an outside guest, an announced excursion and more! If it happened on a major show in Japan in the last week, we probably covered it!
