January 21, 2019 Ep. 4 Dragon Gate New Year Gate 2019 Review
Today I review the first 3 shows of 2019 from my favourite spot-monkey promotion (guys I’m kidding, chill out). The shows got progressively better as the tour went on, with the Korakuen Hall show being especially recommended.
Here are some choice comments that received further development:
“Kzy shall be orbiting the moon very shortly”
“Big Ben is falling down. Like the bridge. In London”
“Please just sell. I still love you, but c’mon”
“Wait I’m a genius, put Yamato in the title match!”
“This rookie is my favourite, oh but I actually really like these other 10 rookies too”
“Let me recite supposed Dragon Gate history that I’m only 10% confident on”
“R.E.D make late push for entry into the 2020 Olympic hurdles competition ”
“We need gaijin fans to keep lazy gaijin wrestlers in line”

January 17, 2019 Ep. 3 ZERO1 1/1 & BJW 1/2 Review
I’m really going underground today with a review of ZERO1 and BJW’s individual Korakuen shows from early January. One show was very good, the other was alright but a bit disappointing. Listen to at least half the episode to figure out which is which!
Here’s a brief list of the intriguing ideas I discussed:
“Sekimoto and Sato….”
“Death should be 'spice' in a match, not the main dish ”
“Hama is an all-ROUND monster”
“Okabayashi is King most of the time”
“Hino needs a 90s NJPW junior run”
“Why all refs gotta be dumb?”
“Why pinfalls gotta be confusing sometimes?”
“Are Voodoo Murder(er)s a thing?”
“Sugi and Abe are awesome, sarcasm not required here”

January 12, 2019 Ep. 2 NOAH 1/6 Navigation for the Future 2019 Review
I somehow managed to make it back for another episode. This time I abandon the glamour of New Japan to hang in the doldrums of NOAH. Just kidding. NOAH is good. At least the second half of the show is. Well.... the main event anyways.
I make some stunning points, such as:
"Kiyomiya will save us all from the flood, just like Misawa did in scripture”
"Hooligans are good. Oh wait, turns out I actually just like Hino, and that's it”
"The NOAH juniors courageously carry the midcard on their back”
"I disapprove of 50 Funky Powers existing”
“Miyawaki stood out for once”
“Inoue is actually good, and Kotoge is funny but I want him to kill people”
“We need to support our local young lions, even if they yell and flail around a lot”

January 06, 2019 Ep. 1 NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 13 Review
Debut episode of my new Japanese pro-wrestling podcast: Pure Grade Puroresu. It's kinda shit, but it's from the heart.
Here are some insightful points I touch on:
"Omega and Tanahashi are different people"
"Naito is innocent but then he ruins your whole day"
"Jay White is a big boy here to stay, and he preferred the long pants"
"Ibushi and Ospreay are great even when they're disappointing"
"Sabre Jr. is f*cking annoying even when he's good"
"Ishimori is over. Over there on thin ice"
"Sho and Yoh exist just to suffer"
"NO ONE F*CKING LIKES THE NEVER 6-MAN TITLES. NO-ONE"
