Wrestling Omakase returns this week on location from Southern California! John is joined by their longtime friend and returning guest Sean Williams (@TheDragonSuplex) as the two of them record from a hotel room in Long Beach hours after seeing NJPW Strong Style Evolved. Hear their thoughts on the venue, the setup inside, the fans, and of course the show itself, match-by-match. We discuss an incredible MOTYC main event, a semi-main that's been polarizing (to say the least), and everything else as well. Plus we all discuss a little bit of DDT Judgment, Sean's first time in LA, being huge weebs, getting invited to maid cafes by small children, and more! It's a fun time, so check it out.

Rob and Jeff run down the what looks to be a nearly complete lineup for WWE WrestleMania 34\. Plus, after two years of purgatory, Daniel Bryan returns to the ring for WWE... for now.

This week on the Voices of Wrestling flagship podcast, Joe and Rich discuss the return of Daniel Bryan, what we can expect with his return and why the narrative around his return has us bothered. Other topics on the show include a breakdown of New Japan Pro Wrestling's New Japan Cup, the star-making performances of Zack Sabre Jr. and the masterful booking in making Sabre the winner. We also delve into a short preview of NJPW's Strong Style Evolved show from Los Angeles and ponder why so many tickets are still available on secondary markets. 

Last but certainly not least, the annual WrestleMania week tradition: Joe Lanza's Path of Greatness. Joe lets the listener know the best schedule of shows to attend this WrestleMania weekend and why his path is the greatest of paths. 

We ran out of time on this show so the WON Awards discussion can be found on our Patreon ($2 tier) at http://www.patreon.com/voiceswrestling.
