This week on Wrestling Omakase it's time for our New Beginning in Osaka review! John is joined by longtime friend Bryan Quinlan (@IM_NOT_QUINLAN) to break down all the matches from New Japan's sellout Osaka Jo Hall event, as well as all the big news that broke during the show. They start at the very top of the card with what's sure to be a bit of a controversial Tetsuya Naito vs. KENTA main event, so tune in to hear their thoughts on it. They work their way down from there with thoughts on the wild Suzuki-Moxley brawl, the crazy Hiromu-Lee mile-a-minute match, a SANADA-White match that's also sure to divide people, all the undercard tags, the junior tag title match and more. They also break down the big news of NJPW's return to Madison Square Garden in August, their move to primetime television in Japan for World Pro Wrestling and more. Finally they wrap things up with a brief look ahead to NJPW's next tours as well as a look back at this past week's Korakuen Hall events. It's all things New Japan, this week!

With WWE apparently ready to sell the broadcast rights to its pay-per-view events to a major streaming service, Brandon Thurston discusses possible buyers and options for how the PPVs might be offered. Plus, many interesting notes we learned from WWE's 2019 annual report. Finally, what does an increased reliance on revenue from business partners -- and a decreased reliance on revenue directly from consumers -- mean for wrestling fans?

WWE CEO Vince McMahon told investors today there may be a "transformative" change coming to WWE business. Just one week after announcing the exit of co-presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, it was revealed pay-per-view events may be moving off the WWE Network and onto a major streaming service.

This week on Wrestling Omakase it's finally time to head back to New Japan land! John is joined by returning guests and VOW contributors Chris Samsa (TheChrisSamsa) and Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslinratings) to break down the two big New Beginning in Sapporo shows in detail, as they go match-by-match on both cards. Hear praise for a number of the undercard matches (except one in particular that gets ripped by pretty much everyone; you'll have to listen to find out which one) and then some strong opinions on the major matches of both shows: EVIL-Ishii, Shingo-Goto, ZSJ-Ospreay and Okada-Taichi. We then do a brief preview of the upcoming New Beginning shows from Korakuen Hall and Osaka and speculate on what could be coming later in the year in NJPW as well.

Once that's wrapped up we turn our attention to the big story from Japanese wrestling this past week: the sale of Pro Wrestling NOAH to DDT's parent company CyberAgent. Hear us give some thoughts on why the sale might have gone down and how Japanese wrestling is consolidating with the specter of NXT Japan looming large. We then briefly discuss NOAH's latest Korakuen show (and first airing on DDT Universe) from 1/30 and look ahead to their major shows in February as well, plus as a bonus we take a look at the Big Japan Strong Climb lineup that was recently announced. It's a jam-packed episode of Japanese wrestling, this week!
