Wrestle Kingdom weekend is over and the end of Wrestle Kingdom always is the beginning of the new season for New Japan Pro Wrestling. So the Eastern Lariat takes a look back at New Year Dash which featured Jushin Thunder Liger's retirement and set the direction for some programs in months to come. Besides that STRIGGA & Dylan also discuss the mystery show Pro Wrestling NOAH had in Korakuen on 1/5 that had a great main event.

The second day of Wrestle Kingdom 14 is in the books and it was an historic event for many reasons. STRIGGA & Dylan got together to discuss their top 5 moments and matches from the show including the main event, Jushin Thunder Liger's retirement, Minoru Suzuki's entrance and the Jay White character. Other topics include a discussion about the general idea of running two Tokyo Dome shows, the post main event angle and – starting the show – a look at Joshi Wrestling in the year 2020.

It's Wrestle Kingdom weekend! This means that not only NJPW, but a lot of different promotions put on big shows for their fanbases so in the first 15 minutes of this show The Eastern Lariat duo talks about the beginning of the year for DDT and AJPW before turning their attention to the first day of Wrestle Kingdom 14!

With NOAH's show on the 5th being a mystery show STRIGGA & Dylan go deep into fantasy booking bot mode.
