WH and Joey also talk about the value of being able to watch the entire tournament on UStream, seeing Big Japan Pro Wrestling in Korakuen for the first time, what watching the finals was like in the Seibu Dome and the pros and cons of watching wrestling during a typhoon in a “building” without any walls.

Another great episode!

Might be my favourite podcast series going.

I’m listening to the Eggshells companion podcast series on Post wrestling also. Going from this podcast to that one,year by year, G1 to Wrestle Kingdom.

It really gives you a sense of Njpw’s direction at the time.

As we get closer to the present it also reminds me of listening to J.a.w which was my way of keeping up with Japanese Wrestling at the time
