*EXPLICIT LANGUAGE* Back in June of 2019, on the somewhat dormant Patreon, Chris and Jeff recorded a look back at Beyond the Mat, which is now back on Netflix. Jeff went to a Universal employee screening when it first came out, and he and Chris go through what opinions have changed, what aged well, what didn't. Also a few odd sidebars here and there. If you're holed up, give it a watch and then give us a listen.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Wrestling Omakase we cope with unsettling world events the only way this podcast knows how: by talking about some damn good Japanese professional wrestling. John is joined by returning guest Thomas Fischbeck (@rasslinratings) as the two of them open things up talking about the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak, both in the US and Japan, and how it's affecting wrestling in both countries. They discuss some reason for cautious optimism that shuttered Japanese wrestling companies might slowly come back online soon, just as it looks like the US and other Western countries are getting ready to bunker down.Once the chat of world events is over they turn their attention to two Korakuen Hall events from promotions that never stopped running in the first place: Big Japan Pro Wrestling and ZERO1. The shows took place on 3/3 and 3/1 but didn't make tape until 3/10 and 3/12 respectively, so John and Thomas give their thoughts on these two shows full of hard-hitting action just a few days after they aired.

An absolutely insane week in no only wrestling but the world. We talk about the Coronavirus' effect on the world of wrestling, why WrestleMania is, as of this recording still on, and why people need to take it easy on indie promoters who haven't cancelled their shows. Additional topics include a review of WWE Elimination Chamber and a live (chews & all, baby!) review of Hot Pockets' Big & Bold Buffalo-Style Chicken sandwich.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTatIcui2GIBrandon Thurston analyzes the pattern of decline in a number of WWE's key metrics. While the company has reach financial heights in recent years, its increase in revenue and profits have coincided with a decrease in revenue generated directly by consumers. The role of Vince McMahon as head of creative, the absence of John Cena and WWE's inability to create difference-making stars have been key factors.Follow Wrestlenomics on Twitter: twitter.com/wrestlenomicsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on Wrestling Omakase it's time for our first fantasy draft of 2020 with our first historical draft ever, the 90s Puro Draft! With the Coronavirus unfortunately at least postponing the beginning of the New Japan Cup, we had to switch around this week's episode (and we still hope to bring you the originally planned NJC Pick 'Em down the line if things work out) but we've still got a really fun episode for you this week! John is joined by returning guests Gerard (@GerardDiTrolio) and Paul (@Darth_Dragon) and debuting guest Flae (@flaeblazer) for a great deal of draft fun. But before they begin their draft, the four of them break into a bit of a mini-discussion on the other breaking news out of Japan this week: the upcoming closure of the Wrestle-1 promotion. Hear their thoughts on some of the company's seven-year history, the sudden announcement of their closure and what could be (and what probably isn't) behind it, and they go over W-1's remaining schedule of shows as well.
