Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway are celebrating their 100th episode! This week, the pair were joined by Justin Knipper, an expert on the Japanese wrestling scene and the co-host of "Write This Down" with Fumi Saito. Justin has also been on the NOAH English commentary team, so he was the perfect guest to bring on to discuss two NOAH wrestlers participating in the 2024 Best of the Super Juniors, Ryohei Oiwa, Giulia and other names associated with NOAH and New Japan. Steven and Jeremy also broke down the Sakura Genesis card and the angles coming from it, including big wins for Tetsuya Naito, Jon Moxley, Shingo Takagi, Bishamon, the War Dogs and more. They also previewed the Windy City Riot show, featuring another IWGP World Heavyweight title match between Naito and Moxley, Hiromu Takahashi facing Mustafa Ali, Eddie Kingston and company versus Gabe Kidd and company, and title matches featuring Stephanie Vaquer, El Phantasmo and Hikuleo. They also looked at the Jack Perry-Shota Umino special singles match. They also looked back at the career of the late, great Akebono, who made a major impact in Sumo history and was a special attraction in pro wrestling.
