We Work Stiff

The Bois are back to their old tricks, going looking for the peculiar angles to what was a very rich New Japan Cup. They talk the Cup as a whole, why the pick ems being predictable is a good thing, how the direction is clear in ways that are exciting, why Taichi can’t win, why Yuya can’t lose, and why the old guard is still so valuable.

Then it’s on to the Cup final and a deep discussion into the character parallels between the two men, the key distinction at the genesis which may determine their directions, and why so many still struggle with talk about these type of characters in pro wrestling; as the Stiff Bois proudly define what they think Observing Wrestling is.

The Bois have endured Tropical Cyclone Alfred, and somehow amidst the chaos seen the entire New Japan Cup. The March Smellness prediction special was pretty close to foretelling the entire Cup, and as such has done a good job of covering the lads in their absence, but now as the Final is upon us, they are jumping on the record a Final preview.

The lads talk the ever evolving NJPW match construction template and what it could mean for the Final, before diving into Finlay and Shota's paths to the finals; both in the tourney and beyond. Then, the speculation begins for what may happen in the and around the match; as the angle alert sounds loud and clear.

With a slower week in NJPW, with only a few shows on the Road to New Begining (which will be discussed in our big New Begining Preview next week), the Stiff bois have decided to create a Primer for the 2024 Golden Stiffies; outlining the categories, possible nominees and process for voting on the WWS annual award show.

This episode is one part refresher of the year that was, one part primer for a host of characters heading into 2025 and one part experimental dialogue with our Stiffies; all wrapped in a shameless promotion of the merits of joining the Stiff Club.

The Stiff Bois are back from Tokyo and have a lot of things to cover.

In a different kind of episode the lads spend the first 1 hour and 20 minutes covering the many shows they attended in the lead up to the Dome (chatting All Japan, Big Japan, NOAH, Impact haha, DDT and TJPW), thank the many generous Stiffies they met, then spend and hour breaking down every match of Wrestle Kingdom from a live experience, spend time trying to explore the curious case of Shota Umino and thier hopes for his year ahead, talk the vibes of Wrestle Dynasty, another hour on the masterpiece that was Gabe v Kenny and main event the show with a spirited defense of Chris Charlton.

A massive, reflective, conversational show, that is a little different to our usual fair (dont worry, previews and reviews of New Beginning tour will commence next week) but one that hopefully conveys the joy of Puro and the gratitude we have for all our listeners and Stiff Club members.

It's beginning to look alot like Stiffmas and so the Stiff Bois are talking all things New Japan as they look forward to a busy Wrestle Kingdom season.

The lads chat the Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty match announcements, focusing on the discourse surrounding Shota Umino, highlight some key match ups from Historic Cross Over and then preview the teams in World Tag League - whilst exploring the functions of this year's tournament in light of the teams reception.
