Wrestling Omakase is back for a very special episode! John is joined by returning guests Paul Wedding (@PaulEWedding on Twitter) and Jeff Andrews, as well as first time guest Adam Berger, to break down all the candidates in the Japan region of the 2025 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame voting in detail! Here's everybody covered on this week's episode in order:
-Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan
-Yoshiaki Fujiwara
-Hayabusa
-Masaaki Mochizuki
-Antonio Inoki & Seiji Sakaguchi
-Zack Sabre Jr.
-Meiko Satomura
-Io Shirai/Iyo Sky
-Tiger Jeet Singh
-Yoshihiro Takayama
-Manami Toyota & Toshiyo Yamada
-Bobby Bruns
-Joe Higuchi
-Rossy Ogawa
-Koichi Yoshizawa
As you can probably imagine, this leads to a wide-ranging discussion on both Japanese wrestling history and even some stuff on current wrestling as well- a very fun three-ish hours! John, Paul and Adam are all Observer Hall of Fame voters and reveal their ballots (or at least where they're leaning), as well as break down how the entire process works for those who might be unfamiliar. Plus, they briefly discuss how they're leaning in the Modern US category at the end as well. A very fun trip through wrestling history!
