This week, Jeff and Rob begin our review of the NETFLIX series GLOW. If you're on the fence about trying GLOW, tune in to our review of the pilot to help your decision. Plus, we're joined by a special guest to discuss the show!

Also, one of the best looking lineups in some time happens this Sunday as WWE presents the Great Balls of Fire PPV. We'll discuss the buildup, matches, and future on this episode of Shake Them Ropes!

Wrestling Omakase is back with our second episode, and this week John is joined by Jeff Hawkins (@Crapgame13) of Shake Them Ropes and Fightful! Jeff is here to talk about what it means to be a regular WWE viewer in 2017, as we get meta about the promotion and various common critiques from internet wrestling fans. Other topics include what it means to lose the older generations of WWE stars, whether the returning guest star trope can continue forever (and whether it's damaged the current roster), Roman Reigns, the women's division, the brand split, and more. Plus, Jeff was at both of NJPW's US debut shows from this past weekend live, so we'll talk about those two shows and get his general impressions from someone who was in the crowd. The two biggest promotions in the world are both well covered on this week's edition of Wrestling Omakase!

In this week’s episode of the New Japan Purocast, we review nights 1 & 2 of the “G1 Special in USA” from Long Beach, CA!

Oli and Robin revisit last year's Euro Draft to see how the group's picks have fared a year on. Who got snubbed? Which picks were best value? Who got picked far too early?

Hosts Chris Harrington (@mookieghana) and Brandon Howard (@BrandonThurston) file Cody's taxes, talk philosophy degrees and failed statistics exams. They imagine how a theoretical wrestlers' union could come to exist. They discuss whether the fallout from the Benoit family deaths hurt WWE's business, as well as Brandon and Chris's own reactions to the tragedy. Plus: parking lot steroids, whether Daniel Bryan will return to the ring, Mauro Ranallo's return to WWE, World Class trademarks, Ring of Honor attendance, how Nielsen records live OTT viewing and more!

This week on the Voices of Wrestling flagship podcast Rich and Joe talk about the sale of Global Force Wrestling to Impact Wrestling, why Jeff Jarrett may be the greatest businessman in pro wrestling history and much more. We then move onto Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary 15 PPV as we preview this weekend's event and discuss the unbelievable, actually good build to the PPV. Last but not least, we review NJPW's G1 Climax 27 blocks, go over the entire G1 Climax schedule and do our last preview for this weekend's NJPW G1 Special in USA.

It's the debut episode of Wrestling Omakase, a new podcast here at VOW based around a rotating co-host concept and covering a wide variety of the wrestling world. Join host John Carroll (@toshanshuinla) and their guest Connor Dunphy (@isalrightnow) as they kick off this new series discussing New Japan Pro Wrestling! The major topics include Connor's article from earlier this month comparing the traditional "strong style" with NJPW's current style, the major matches and other takeaways from the three recent Kizuna Road Korakuens, this weekend's upcoming G1 in the US shows (briefly, and why neither of them are looking forward to them), and finally a full preview of the upcoming G1 Climax! Other topics covered include AJPW, early Zero-One, and how both John & Connor began as wrestling fans (and what changed for them). We hope you're ready to join us on a new journey through the entire world of professional wrestling!
