- Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise: Hopes for NJPW King of Pro Wrestling, Pac, more (47 min.)SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is back on the eve of one of New Japan’s tentpole shows – King of Pro Wrestling in Sumo Hall. As with other major NJPW events this year, Alan is documenting his hopes beforehand and will be back afterward to see if all went to plan. From booking to match quality, there are some major variables going into this Ryogoku show, especially with Wrestle Kingdom now very much around the corner. Where will the likes of Tsuji, Oiwa, Umino, and co. fit coming off this show? Alan gives his expectations for all that plus some thoughts on last week’s Korakuen title matches. To begin, however, some words about Pac and the wonderful tributes paid to him from all corners in the last two weeks.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Manu Romero for the September edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This month, we play with the calendar a little bit and bend the rules slightly, but it was worth it to have Manu discuss a really important and under-discussed piece of wrestling history – that being the first ever WWF TV show on television in Spain. “Pressing Catch” as it was known emanated from a packed Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona in front of 19,000 fans seeing stars such as The Rockers, The Undertaker, and Tito Santana. Manu provides a ton of really interesting background info about the show, from translations of the commentary to the involvement of one Silvio Berlusconi! For Alan’s pick it was back to 1983 and this time a jaunt in to see Lance & Dave in the Memphis studio once again. It was the typical CWA fun with Lawler, Dundee, Hart, and all the gang, including a very special guest by telephone! So as the Autumn colors appear, fall back into the couch and check out what’s on the telly!
NOTE 1: Very minor (and hopefully unnoticeable) audio issue early in the show, but it was fixed 15 minutes in.
NOTE 2: This was taped before the untimely passing of one of Alan’s all time favorite wrestlers – Pac. We’ll have more about Ben in future shows. RIP to a legend.DIRECT LINK: VIP AUDIO LINK

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L reports back from Madrid with Sarah4L in tow to talk about seeing Shakira live (the musician; not the Scott Steiner valet), Atletico vs. Osasuna, and other highlights of the 4Ls’ jaunt to Spain. After Sarah gets the boot, Alan goes solo to discuss CMLL’s huge 93rd anniversary show featuring the big Mistico-Averno apuestas match and much more. In addition, we have some more positive NJPW talk (everyone should be nervous of how regularly this is the case right now) looking at Kosei Fujita’s Produce show with the band “ROTTENGRAFFTY” in Osaka Gorilla Hall and the shockingly great KOB vs. GBH tag team match this past weekend. Check it out (Awwwwwoooooooo!).

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is back and all fired up to talk about the brewing feud of the year in New Japan with Aaron Wolf and Kosei Fujita at each other’s throats to start the Road to Destruction. There’s more NJPW to talk about too with Tsuji and Goto getting set for their IWGP Heavyweight Title match and Shingo Takagi currently “on one,” plus the opening of NOAH’s N1 Victory in Korakuen and a great Osaka Pro title match finally making TV. All that plus a couple of “From the Vault” recs from 1983 and 1988. Check it out!

The Revival, American Alpha, Von Erichs, Freebirds, and more (158 min.)SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Suit Williams for the August edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. Despite a combined runtime of approximately 90 minutes for the two shows spotlighted, this discussion ends up going nearly twice that length! On tap was a 2016 NXT from Full Sail with a big-time main event pitting American Alpha against The Revival in a 2/3 Falls blow-off match, and a 1983 episode of World Class from the Sportatorium which similarly showcased great tag team wrestling as the Von Erichs and Freebirds battled it out for the six-man titles. Alan and Suit were also treated to a healthy dose of Iceman King Parsons, some Jimmy Garvin greatness, prime Bayley, Balor-Nakamura build, and much more, including a wrestler who was a real revelation on the NXT show. In the warm, welcoming spirit of Bill Mercer, please join us and check out what’s on the telly!

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is back with one of his longest solo efforts yet (multiple recording sessions may have been utilized) and a lot to talk about! After an unforgettable classic to end the G1, Ryohei Oiwa and Yuya Uemura’s efforts deserved a detailed breakdown, and they get it here with nearly 40 minutes of analysis about everything they did in their match and the macro impact it should/may have on pro wrestling and New Japan specifically. After going in depth on the match, Alan discusses where it ranks historically amongst the best bouts. Then with the G1 in the rear view, it was time to start catching up on other wrestling, and there’s a lot! Good and bad from the world of AEW (and ROH) as they march towards Wembley, some excellent Joshi as Chihiro Hashimoto builds her legacy, tournaments in All Japan and Dragongate, and there’s even time for a from-the-vault rec from 1988! After all that fun, the last half hour of the show is a little more on the serious side and reserved for some words about a fallen friend. RIP, Rovey.

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by the man who combines silky smooth vocal tones with encyclopedic knowledge like nobody else, host of “Between the Sheets,” Kris Zellner! And if we’re bringing KrisZ on board, it’s got to be for a big occasion – and that it certainly is. This Saturday will see the retirement of Japanese wrestling legend Hiroyoshi Tenzan in Sumo Hall, and that needed to be marked here on ProWres Paradise. Alan and Kris run down the career of Tenzan from beginning to end over the course of two and a half hours! Young Lion days, Murder Inc., tag teams with Chono & Kojima, nWo Japan, G1 wins, injuries, classic matches – it’s all covered as the guys reminisce fondly about a career that has meant so much to New Japan Pro Wrestling. I think it’s safe to say you’ll probably learn something listening to this as Kris drops his wealth of knowledge on us like only he can. Now on to Ryogoku!

Goldberg, Gangstas, a double dose of Jericho, and more (144 min.)SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by Grappl’s Gareth Hodgson for the July edition of “What’s on the Telly?” In this monthly series, Alan and his guest will each pick an episode of wrestling TV from that month in the past and break it down. This time around we’re sticking to the ’90s but with two promotions of vastly different size and scale. Scale was the order of the day for WCW on July 6th, 1998, as they scaled up in a major way for the first Monday Nitro in the Georgia Dome and the legendary world title match between Hollywood Hogan and Bill Goldberg. Alan and Gareth break down the way they approached that three-hour show, analyze how they told the story during the course of the evening, and look at how it affected the other matches and performers on the show. But first, a trip to the Smoky Mountains in 1994, where things may not have been as grandiose but there was tension aplenty with the debut of the Gangstas, people getting jumped in car parks, and even labor union strikes! So join Alan, Gareth, Chris Jericho, and Scott Studd, and come check out what’s on the telly with us!

SHOW SUMMARY: In our latest episode of Alan4L’s ProWres Paradise, PWTorch columnist Alan4L is joined by the great Joe Gagne for a look back on the history of Osaka Pro Wrestling. From its inception as a breakaway from Michinoku Pro in 1999 through spinoffs, closures, and rebirths, Osaka Pro has always provided a charming alternative form of wrestling molded by the vision of founder Super Delfin. Staying true to its local roots all the way, the promotion spawned a flavor of wrestling which was uniquely its own but would inspire companies and wrestlers worldwide, most notably Chikara Pro. Alan and Joe discuss the many staple Osaka Pro characters from mascots Ebessan and Kuishinbo Kamen to heel linchpins Dick Togo and Big Boss Magma, and all the colorful characters along the way. There aren’t many promotions where you could have seen a diminutive kickboxer have a four-star match with a baseball playing buffalo, but if that’s what you needed in your wrestling diet, Osaka was the place to go. And if you want to hear all the stories and get match recommendations aplenty, then “Joesaka Holiday Paradise” is the episode of this podcast for you!
