Hey everybody! Join me here as I talk to “The Wrestling Genius” Daniel Makabe. In something a little different from my other recent interviews Daniel and I only talk about his recent trip to Germany for wXw. We talk about him teaming up with Chris Ridgeway to face BattlArts legends Yuki Ishikawa and Daisuke Ikeda at Inner Circle 9. We then move on to talk about his matches at 16 Carat Gold 2020 and his run for AMBITION 12. This is a fun and unique interview to hear a wrestler talk about some of the most important few days of his career and Daniel tells us how each match felt before, during, and after the bell. This is an interview I will always hold special. So please give this a listen as you won’t be disappointed.

There is also plenty of talk about All Japan Pro Wrestling. This is a great short interview that I couldn’t recommend more for driving to work or to the grocery store.

He tells us about his start along with some great stories of some time spent training with the legendary Killer Kowalski. We talk some 2CW along with the current indy scene in Upstate New York.
