Naniwa!!

I’m guessing I should watch

I'm in my absolute element here with this Oiwa vs. Uemura match. God if you're depressed about the state of modern wrestling, will this thing ever cheer you up. Intensity, a feeling of competition and a care for details. Bless these two.

Had a lot of fun doing this.

Seems like I was the high vote on:
Kosei (3)
Jacky (5)
Akira (6)
Momo (10)
Moriarty (27)

Some changes Spencer Torkelson has made:

- Stands MUCH further back in the box (3rd greatest depth among right handed hitters)
- Slowed his swing down
- Drastically opened up his stance
- Cut down his swing and miss on breaking pitches (small sample)

TBD = Eddie?

Would you rather have him or Garrett Mitchell?

McMullen was previously calling games for Triple-A Indianapolis (Pirates affiliate) and serving as Just Baseball's director of podcasting.

Excellent main event at Korakuen today.

Fujita putting Zack’s teachings to use with Zack watching from the balcony was one of those special camera NJPW shots.

Pe was also great in his role on offense and defense alike. Excited to see them square off again!

Really enjoyed the Nagata/Takuya vs Abe/Iwamoto tag on the Baba Memorial show.

I’ll start with 3/2/01 vs Marufuji, the first match on the first ever ZERO-ONE show and one of my favorite matches of 2001.

Who’s got a favorite Naohiro Hoshikawa match?

Thank you for making the accordion cool.

RIP Garth
