We're back for a very special episode! John is joined by returning guest Mongo (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@mongo_ebooks" rel="nofollow">@mongo_ebooks</a>), and only one thing can get them out of podcast semi-retirement: Tetsuya Naito is a 2022 Wrestling Observer Hall of Famer! John & Mongo talk a little about all of the new inductees but the most focus is on Naito, Kota Ibushi, and some of the other people who didn't get in (one CM Punk perhaps?). They discuss why Naito was such a slam dunk candidate even if you didn't necessarily love him or his fans, using some cold hard facts and business metrics to make their case. Plus, a look ahead to next year's nominees and more!

Wrestling Omakase #243: 2022 Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame w/ Mongo

Omakase means, literally, &#34;I&#39;ll leave it up to you&#34;. It&#39;s a term primarily used in modern Japanese in sushi restaurants, where you allow the chef to prepare their own personal favorites, leaving your meal completely in their hands. Wrestling Omakase, therefore, is a show where we place each episode into the hands of one or two passionate fans, from all across the wrestling spectrum. Our regular host John Carroll has over 20 years of diverse wrestling fandom to draw upon, and they will be joined by a revolving door of guests who will share their knowledge and passion for particular promotions or time periods. While our primary focus will be on modern Japanese wrestling, we will also at least touch on wrestling from all over the world, in addition to the occasional episode covering historical periods of various promotions. This is a journey with wrestling fans around the world, bringing you the promotions they know and love the best, and we hope you will join us!<h2>This podcast is a member of the Voices of Wrestling Podcast Network. </h2>Learn more about the Voices of Wrestling Podcast Network at <a href="http://www.voicesofwrestling.com" rel="nofollow">voicesofwrestling.com</a>.
