Wrestling Omakase #303: Korakuen-palooza (NJPW 7/6 & 7/7, STARDOM 6/30, DG 7/2 & NOAH 7/5), G1 Climax & 5STAR GP Previews w/ Arametha Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Episode 2 of the three-episode Arametha takeover is a bonafide Korakuen-palooza, as the two of them discuss new Korakuen shows from NJPW (a big Road to G1 show featuring a major title change and then Tiger Mask's retirement), STARDOM (featuring an awesome red belt match), Dragongate (yet another middling show) and NOAH (which the two hosts strenuously disagreed on about almost everything!). They also preview a busy upcoming summer in Japanese wrestling with breakdowns of NJPW's G1 Climax and STARDOM's 5STAR GP tournaments, including predictions and full rundowns of both opening nights. And then they preview Dragongate's biggest show of the year, Kobe World, as well as NOAH's big upcoming show in Osaka. There's a lot going on right now. Also as a warning, this episode might have a lot of random/off topic banter even by our standards....

Music of the Mat Remix: The Bloodline Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

The Bloodline has been the dominant storyline in WWE for the past six years. Just when you think the saga of Roman Reigns, the Usos, Solo Sikoa, and the rest of the gang is over, it rears its ugly head. As the name suggests, it's a stable that has been mostly made up of family members, and in music, there are plenty of bands where family members share the stage. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Warren Hayes (The Mr. Warren Hayes Show, Voices of Wrestling) play bands that have family members in them. Artists played include HAIM, Split Enz, Sly and the Family Stone, The Kinks, DeBarge, The National, Heart, Sparks, and many more. Get ready to acknowledge this episode as the Tribal Chief of music shows tangentially related to pro wrestling.

Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent Partner
