We Work Stiff

Josh and Dave review and preview and event filled Wrestling Dontaku tour.

By running through the Dontaku line-up, the wholesome Stiff Bois are able to break down the key match ups on the Road To so far, including Hiromu v Uncle Nobu, Jetsetters v Catch 2/2, Aussie Open v TMDK and Shingo v Taichi, plus, go in-depth in previewing the BOSJ participants and block line ups, before exploring the stories headed into the main Dontaku Card; with a special focus on Bullet Club drama and how Finlay can help NJPW find their way out from under the Clubs unwieldy shadow. There’s a fair few predictions that could open the Bois up to some ridicule in this one, as the conspiracy booking makes way for some less solid predictions.

With Dontaku well and truly explored, the lads finish with a discussion of Stardom’s Grand Queendom event, discussing some key matches and players, as they go ‘gal’ searching, only to then contemplate the impact of Mercedes run with IWGP belt and what her presence on Strong, and the development of a Strong women’s division, signals for the future of all parties. A massive show that we hope will have you as excited as we all are to enjoy Wrestling Dontaku.

This week, in a special episode, Josh and Dave take you on a heroic journey of discovery to explore why SANADA v Okada at Sakura Genesis is such an important match. The wholesome lads also cover the recent Korakuen shows, Henare v Shingo, TMDK, Space Wolves, Jet Setters, Oleg and the NJPW Tamashii banger factory. But really this episode is all about SANADA and convincing every listener that they should care about this main event as much as the wholesome Aussie Stiff Bois.

Josh and Dave return for a New Japan Ramble to preview the upcoming Sakura Genesis tour. Providing a primer for New Japan fans on all the big stories and character movements heading into Ryogoku and putting on the conspiracy caps to predict some possible directions leading out.

Plus, the wholesome Aussie Sitff Bois consider the Impact of Wrestlemania Weekend for New Japan wrestlers, explore the position of the IWGP US title and AEW and ROH crossovers more broadly and, finally, conclude the show by becoming the Charlie Day mailroom meme, as they rationalise how Robbie Eagles, Aussie Open, and SANADA can all leave Sumo Hall as champions.

Josh and Dave return to review the past week of the New Japan Cup. The lads start by talking about a @weworkstiff tweet that broke news and hints at a new United Empire member; and this sets the tone for a United Empire heavy show. The Wholesome Stiff Bois go deep into discussing Kyle Fletcher’s potential, the role of Dunkzilla Davis and Aussie Open in NJPW, and the respect that Henare has now earned.

Also, it wouldn’t be a WWS show without a look at SANADA, and questions about him taking the final step towards his next step, a discussion around talent vs tenure and the need to constantly progress your persona, and a discussion around who makes the most sense to win the Cup and meet Okada at Ryogoku.

The Stiff Bois are back with an episode packed full of spciy New Japan Cup discussion. 

Whilst the Bullet Club drama may be dominating the social media discourse the lads couldn’t wait to dive deep into Taichi v SANADA. The We Work Stiff Conspiracy of 2022 may be coming to pass in 2022, and so the wholesome Stiff Bois need to explore what the match and the result suggest about where SANADA may be headed this year. 

Then it’s on the ELP and Finlay and whether Bullet Club is fine with Misfits and Rebels. The bois reconsider their previous insights on the Finlay character and look to understand how he has found himself alongside Gedo leading ‘his’ Club. There’s also some bonus Bishamon love thrown in for good measure.

With the 2023 New Japan Cup just about to start, the Stiff Bois are breaking new ground by bringing the Draft format to a single elimination tournament. In this Draft special, the lads make their selections, being forced to choose which bois and which stories they will tie their hopes for 2023 New Japan to; as they assemble teams of wrestlers that aren’t guaranteed of making it into week 2.

Who will be covering finalists and who will be covering undercard tags? We will find out this March, as the wholesome bois follow the madness in this incredibly open New Japan Cup.
