Voices of Wrestling Podcast Network

Wrestling Omakase continues its trip down northeast US indie memory lane with this week's episode, as John is joined by their normal Open the Voice Gate co-host Michael Spears (@fujiiheya) to discuss the history of CHIKARA! Both John and Mike were, at different but partially overlapping periods, big fans of the "fun-filled lucha supershow", so this is a discussion of what they both enjoyed about the promotion during their time watching. In particular the Eye of Tyr storyline is discussed and recapped in detail (as a particular favorite of both hosts), as well as the many other threads it encompassed: Chris Hero's turn, heel run, and departure, the Vin Gerard storyline and the Unstable, Claudio's feud with Eddie Kingston, and the initial run of the BDK! Plus, the two discuss what they thought made the promotion stand out originally and what made them both fans, and there's a discussion on all the foreign guest stars that used to appear for the company as well. Finally, the two discuss where they felt the promotion went wrong after the 2013 "shutdown" and why neither consider themselves fans of current day CHIKARA. Don't miss another fun trip down memory lane, this week on Wrestling Omakase!

On this week's episode of Omakase we're proud to bring you a free-ranging, free-flowing, very unique conversation on the glory years of ROH! John is joined by JR Goldberg (@wrestlingbubble) to discuss their common history: attending Ring of Honor during what's considered their golden period (or Gabe period, if you prefer) of 2003 to 2008! This is perhaps the most deeply personal episode we've had on Omakase so far, as they discuss some of their memories of the time period, favorite moments, how today's wrestling compares to what was going on back then, why they ended up going in vastly different directions after both stopped watching ROH (JR lucha, John puro), and more! Though ROH is the main topic lots of other stuff is touched upon too, from WWE to NJPW to lucha and more. We hope you enjoy this week's conversation!

Chris Harrington and Brandon Howard talk all about New Japan business as well as other Japanese promotions with NJPW expert and reddit.com/r/NJPW moderator @EvanDeadlySinsW!

We look at everything from Tanahashi's importance on 2017's G1 to whether the company is capping out, fundamentals of US expansion, Young Lions, how other Japanese companies are performing, revenue estimates and wrestler salaries and lots more.
