Everything Evolves returns with a complete breakdown of this weekend’s shows, with bonus ~live experience~ insight from Aaron T. On this week’s show, we cover EVOLVE’s brand identity crisis, the marketing genius of Jim Smallman’s PROGRESS and the controversial conditions at Saturday’s double-header in New York City.

And oh yeah, the wrestling! We’ve got a full review of all the in-ring happenings at the very meh EVOLVE 90 and the very good EVOLVE 91. Give us a listen to hear our takes on the #TrollBoys phenomenon, WALTER’s EVOLVE excursion and the much-anticipated South Pacific Power Trip/Doom Patrol rematch.

In this week’s episode of the New Japan Purocast, we review the final night of the G1 Climax 27 which took place on Sunday, 8/13 from Sumo Hall! Plus, we give our thoughts on the tournament as a whole, as well as possible future matches for the rest of 2017.

It's time for a very special episode of Wrestling Omakase, as John is coming at you live from Tokyo to discuss an amazing 9 days of Japanese professional wrestling! Joining them are Mark (@WeAllFaulter), Taylor (@tamaimbo), Mort (@mortenvh) & Ethan (@Esan_BISH) as the group discusses their wide journey through puroresu! Hear their thoughts on a number of shows, some of which haven't even made tape yet, including: a DDT/DNA doubleheader at Shinjuku FACE, NOAH, STARDOM, HEAT-UP, Pure-J at Korakuen, and a great deal of talk about a little promotion called YMZ at Shin-Kiba. You also hear all of their thoughts on the various venues and what it's actually like sitting in Japanese wrestling crowds versus years of attending wrestling in the west. Of course, the main event is a discussion of the last three nights of the G1 at Sumo Hall, and again we get into everything from seating arrangements to the building in general to other fans, and of course give thoughts on the major matches as well! It's an exciting, special episode you won't want to miss!

The WWE Network is finally coming to China! Chris Harrington (@mookieghana) and Brandon Howard (@BrandonThurston) talk what this means for WWE's business.

Which promotion has had the most turnover in the last seven years? What was more popular in the late 1990s: wrestling or comic books? Ronda Rousey might be coming to WWE; has Inokism come to America? And more!
