Wrestling Omakase #253: NJPW Dominion 6.15 Review, STARDOM The Conversion Preview & Marigold 6/15-6/17 w/ Velkej Bracha Jun 18, 2025

Show notes

John is back yet again for another long dive through the world of Japanese professional wrestling, and boy do they have a mixed bag to discuss this week! Returning guest Velkej Bracha (@Velkej_Bracha on X), host of the ActWres Stage podcast (here's their most recent episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIHVjqO6_8) joins them and starts by breaking down their recent trip to Japan, as he gives the live perspective on All Star Grand Queendom, Tetsuya Naito's final night in NJPW at Dontaku and more! Plus the two of them generally bullshit about Japan travel for a good long while because, to be honest, nobody wanted to talk about Dominion. But talk about Dominion they must, so they give a full review of a very, very bad show full of absolutely horrible and baffling booking decisions, and fair warning: John gets more than a little fired up about a few of them in particular. May wanna turn your headphones down for that part. They also discuss the quite bad looking G1 lineup and bury New Japan again for being completely unwilling to do anything fun or interesting these days.

But once the badness is over, we head back to the wonderful world of the World Wonder Ring, STARDOM, for a full preview of their upcoming 6/21 show from Yoyogi, The Conversion! John & Velkej talk all about recent storylines and developments as they break down the entire card in full, so if you've heard some of the recent hype for the promotion and want a good jumping in point you might want to listen to our preview here and check out the show! Finally, they wrap up the episode by heading back to another joshi promotion, Marigold, as John gives abbreviated thoughts on some of the matches from the 6/15 & 6/16 weekend shows in Osaka & Shizuoka (including the debut of another impressive looking rookie!), before they then give a full review of the 6/17 Korakuen show, including the big Marigold vs. Marvelous interpromotional main event. Lots of thoughts on how certain Marigold wrestlers are and aren't developing, Velkej breaks some news about one right on the air, and then some discussion of their upcoming schedule and their own big tournament that's coming up, the Dream Star GP. Another packed show!

Music of the Mat Remix: Just a Saxy Boy Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

If you were eagerly anticipating the next pun-named episode of Music of the Mat Remix, then your wait is over. Shawn Michaels came out to his entrance theme "Sexy Boy" for many years, but what if instead of kicking his opponents' heads off with Sweet Chin Music, he wailed away on a saxophone instead? Why, he'd be... just a saxy boy (saxy boyyyyyy). On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Roomba from the VOW Discord play songs that have a saxophone part in them. Artists played include Billy Idol, Fela Kuti, Ween, Romeo Void, FEAR, Sisters of Mercy, Grace Kelly, Miles Davis w/ John Coltrane & Cannonball Adderley, and many more. Get ready to make 'em hot and make 'em shiver with the help of some awesome saxophone songs!
