The Big Audio Nightmare is back to talk about everything that's taken place in Japanese pro wrestling over the last two weeks. It's been extremely busy as we lead into New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom Tokyo Dome show, and Adam and Mike give their predictions on that show as well as taking a look back at Stardom's Dream Queendom and NOAH's The New Year supershow, which featured the returns of Shinsuke Nakamura, KENTA and Hiroshi Hase. 

We also give our thoughts on All Japan's New Year Giant Series, Dragon Gate's Final Gate and the return of Shingo Takagi, GLEAT's Ver. 4, DDT Never Mind featuring Kazusada Higuchi (who is as good as any champion going) vs. Yuki Ueno, Nakajima-Matsumoto, Inaba-Suzuki and so much more!
