Wrestling Omakase is back on the air with everyone's favorite Czech farmer Velkej Bracha joining us as the summer tournaments continue (and end, in one case!). They start things off with some of the usual topics (mostly- you'll never believe this- Japan travel) before heading over to NJPW for the final 4 nights of the G1 Climax! There is a TON to talk about here, including the, uh, very *interesting* reactions to the big Oiwa/Uemura final, but they don't shy away from any of it- full reviews of all four shows, plus thoughts on the individual performances of each and every wrestler and John gives their top 10 matches of the entire tournament!

Then it's over to STARDOM for the most recent 4 nights of the 5 Star GP, which is also very close to wrapping up but not quite over yet! John & Velkej talk yet more Julia Hart, Starlight Kid taking down the talls, who we want to see back next year (and who we don't), and a whole lot more!

Finally, John goes solo to wrap up the episode with Night 5 of TJPW's Princess Cup, featuring the semifinals! Bee vs. Hair! Hip vs. Lariat! Pom Harajuku pretends to be the creepy ghost girl from the Ring for some reason! This show really had it all!

There is a scene in the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat where Dennis Stamp tells Terry Funk why he's not going to be at his retirement show: "Because I'm not booked." Dennis would end up appearing on the show, but "I'm not booked" became a classic line from the movie. In music, there are plenty of songs that are "not booked," so to speak, in that they don't make the original tracklist for the album. They might end up appearing on B-sides, reissues, deluxe editions, compilation albums, or box sets. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Kevin Hare (Voices of Wrestling, 185 Miles South) play a selection of songs that didn't get booked. Artists played include Alkaline Trio, Faces, Chamillionaire, Oasis, Black Flag, The KLF, The Undertones, and many more. Grab the weights and jump on the trampoline, because you never know when the next booking will come.

Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent Partner
