The Joshi Pod

It's the First Annual Joshi Draft!

We are joined by JPQ from the 'No Particular Angle' podcast, JD from the 'RedLeaf Retrocast' and Jay Silver from the 'Smack It Down' podcast to select 11 Joshi wrestlers to start our new Joshi companies.

Who went number 1? -Listen to find out!

Who made the worst selection? -Probably Jay!

Were we idiots for not drafting someone?-Yes!

You get to decide which roster is the best! A Twitter poll will be pinned to the top of The Joshi Pod's Twitter page.

We had a lot of fun doing this and we hope you enjoy listening!
