Show notes
John is back on the air with indie wrestler John Bivins to break down another big week in Japanese wrestling, starting out with TJPW's latest event from Korakuen Hall! John & John talk about a major title change (that neither of them seemed to expect), two new debuts and a lot more as the world of Tokyo Joshi just keeps on rolling, before getting into a bunch of upcoming shows in what's shaping up to be a busy end of the year from them. Then they head over to Dragongate to discuss their own latest Korakuen show, which also featured a couple of new champions being crowned. They discuss some of their ongoing frustrations with DG's booking this year as well, though, which also leads into a discussion on what they consider the worst promotion of the year in Japan to be as 2026 starts to head to a close (and that also dovetails into a brief review of the recent Naito/Kenoh GHC title match from NOAH!).
After that it's back over to the joshi world for a review of Sendai Girls' 11/6 event from Sendai PIT, which featured the semi finals of their young wrestler tournament and some matches being set up for their own next Korakuen show on 11/22. Finally, they wrap things up with another show from Ice Ribbon, this time their 11/8 show from Itabashi, as they discuss another excellent main event, a surprising title vacancy, two literal children doing great things together and a whole lot more! A little shorter than usual for us but no less fun!

Show notes
Omakase is back on the air as John is joined by returning guest Arametha, and fair warning: this starts with about 55 minutes of general jovial celebration about the US election results from this year. If this is not something that interests you, please feel free to skip it, but you've been warned! Once that's out of the way they get into some major wrestling shows from the past week or so in Japan, starting out with NJPW Power Struggle from Hiroshima. They discuss another strong recent number at the gate for New Japan, the state of Shota Umino discourse, Kenny Omega back in the saddle, and whether the build to Wrestle Kingdom was a little too predictable. Then they look ahead to some other upcoming shows, including Lucha Kingdom from Mexico and two unique Korakuen events.
Afterward they head back over to STARDOM and briefly discuss a Korakuen show from 10/27 before then going into a full review of 10/29's Crimson Nightmare PPV from Ota Ward Gym, breaking down some very dumb attendance takes, a solid undercard, an apparently accidental Halloween costume match, the big STARS vs. HATE elimination showdown, marital comedy, and an awesome main event red belt match. They also talk a little about the start of the Goddesses tag league and more. Things stay in joshi as they head back over to Ice Ribbon to discuss their 10/25 show from SKIP City, featuring an outstanding tag team match and also some other matches that definitely happened. They then preview a big PPV from Itabashi with two title matches.
Finally, they head back to the land of DDT for a review of their Ultimate Party show from Sumo Hall, featuring a very unique main event, an outstanding technical wrestling match, some other great wrestling up and down the card, some really funny comedy as well (one of which leads us down a para para rabbit hole), and a whole lot more. The episode then wraps up with a brief preview of the upcoming Korakuen show from DDT's sister promotion Tokyo Joshi!

Welcome to Those Days: A Michinoku Pro Retrospective!
Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are back with one last show for Michinoku Pro’s 1996 before turning the page to their eventful 1997. They discuss the peculiar Kawasaki show pairing up with Battlarts before getting into 1996 Observer Awards and their personal Matches and Wrestlers of the Year. From there, it’s time for 1997 and things are kicking off for Michinoku Pro with a huge show in Sapporo and an incredible appearance in Battlarts before it’s time for Michinoku Pro to tour America in the Boston area with their first appearances in ECW and a look into the person who facilitated the entire enterprise.

The pumpkins are on the porch, the candy is in the bowl, and the barrier between the living and the dead has never been more penetrable. That's right, the Halloween Spooktacular is back for some more frighteningly fun tunes. Andrew and returning guest Andy LaBarre come up with a playlist that will turn your hair bone white (or a nice eggshell, at the very least). Artists played include Roky Erickson, Focus, The Meteors, Andrew Gold, Boney M., The Beautiful South, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and many more. It's a Halloween jaunt with plenty of scares and laughs along the way!

Show notes
John is once again joined by Paul from the Emerald FlowShow as they start things out with quite a lot of Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame talk for this year! They strictly cover the only two regions John votes in which are Modern US & Japan, breaking down who they voted for, who they consider real contenders and which names on the ballot really don't have much of a case at all in a detailed discussion.
Once that's out of the way they then turn to a loaded lineup of shows, beginning with a pair from Ryogoku. First, it's Marigold's 10/24 event which featured not a lot of fans, some very talented young wrestlers showing out as always, and some truly, truly horrendous booking. Then it's over to NOAH for their own event the next day, a much better effort than they put on in the same building back in the spring, but with a bit of a controversial main event!
Afterward they head back to All Japan for their latest Korakuen show, which also set in motion some major directions to their own biggest show of the year on 12/31! Speaking of biggest shows of the year, they make a rare touchdown in the very wild world of OZ Academy to talk about a truly insane show from Yokohama Budokan, featuring a 10 woman tag iron man match with VERY SIMPLE rules, Suwama on the three person side of a 3 on 2 match, Evil!Saori Anou does some things to Natsupoi that it seems like she possibly could have charged her for, and more! Finally, they wrap things up with a staid little show from Sendai Girls at ShinKiba 1st Ring, because why not I guess!

Show notes
John and Velkej are back for another episode of Omakase which starts out with SPARROW DRAMA. Yes. Then they get into a wide-ranging discussion on the World Wonder Ring, as they discuss how everyone seems pretty down on STARDOM right now (and how this seems to happen this time of year every year now), discuss some of the reasons why and which ones they do and don't agree with, before heading into reviews of two recent shows. First it's Path of Thunder from Utsunomiya featuring a divisive main event, a great semi-main, and a pretty good undercard. Then they break down the 10/20 Korakuen that finally saw the return of Sayaka Kurara (thank god), and some strange new announced teams for the upcoming tag league.
Next up is the first Pro Wrestling NOAH talk on Omakase in a very long time, as John & Velkej review a surprisingly-not-that-bad 10/15 Korakuen. They also preview the upcoming Wrestle Odyssey II show from Ryogoku next week. Finally, they wrap things up with a very underwhelming DDT Korakuen from 10/18 as they discuss a not particularly great show that did at least have some newsworthy aspects to it, before previewing their own upcoming big show from Ryogoku, 11/3's Ultimate Party.

Hello there, gang, and welcome back to Thunder Road.
I don't know if you want to call Uncensored a pothole, a speed bump, a cliff's edge, but it sure was something.
On the show this week:
*Hilariously out-of-date heat talk
*Tag Title Trivia to avoid talking about this show
*Chris Candido arrives
*A run-in from a chicken
We are also delighted to say we are now through our war chest of pre-recorded timeline episodes, so the next time you hear our dulcet tones talk 2000 WCW, we will be relatively hot off the presses!
