Arametha is back with John for the second straight week as they discuss an enormous week in Japanese wrestling! After touching on a notable and highly recommended match from Dragongate (for a change lately!), they dive right into the biggest story: NJPW King of Pro Wrestling from Ryogoku, and the apparent decision to go with an NJPW vs. AEW theme for the upcoming Wrestle Kingdom. Both give their takes on the pluses and minuses of that vision, whether or not they&#39;re excited for the specific choices, and of course review what ended up being a quite great show with another incredible main event. This takes up a huge portion of our overall runtime this week, so if you&#39;re looking for some King of Sports discussion you&#39;ve definitely come to the right place! Then it&#39;s back to the world of joshi as they first discuss STARDOM&#39;s most recent Korakuen Hall show, talking about a pretty good show that also left them with some questions about the overall booking direction of the promotion (as usual lately). After that they check in with the turbulent world of Marigold as they review their own latest Korakuen and discuss a frankly baffling main event choice of a very poorly booked and promoted upcoming Sumo Hall show. Finally, they discuss another Sendai Girls Big Show in Sendai where both of them disagreed quite a bit on the overall quality. After that it&#39;s time to go back to men&#39;s wrestling, as they break down AJPW&#39;s latest event, also from Sendai this past weekend. They discuss two very long tag title matches, one of which hit for them and one of which very much didn&#39;t, as well as look ahead to what&#39;s coming up next in the world of Zen Nihon.

No selling is when a wrestler doesn&#39;t react to taking a move, whether because they are an unstoppable monster, running on adrenaline in a fighting spirit spot, hulking up, or just not cooperating with their opponent. It&#39;s also when people aren&#39;t buying your music. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Maura Johnston (Boston Globe, Rolling Stone) play a selection of singles that did not make the Billboard Hot 100. Artists played include Robbie Williams, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Al Green, Talk Talk, Carly Rae Jepsen, Amerie, The Cardigans, and many more. You won&#39;t be selling anything while listening to this episode because you&#39;ll be too busy jamming out!Theme song: &#34;Hemispheres&#34; by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @mauraMaura&#39;s website: maura.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/Donate Our Sponsors: * Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

John is back on the air on their own podcast feed, joined by returning guest Arametha! They start things out with a wide-ranging first hour that covered a ton of random wrestling and non-wrestling topics alike (honestly more than I can even remember trying to write this at the end now....) before getting to the actual show reviews of the episode, beginning with TJPW Wrestle Princess VII from Ota! They discuss a bit of a mixed bag of an attendance number, another fantastic show from TJPW in a long series of them this year, and a lot of discussion on just why their wrestling style stands out so much in the current landscape.Then it&#39;s over to Dragongate to discuss their very newsworthy 10/2 Korakuen show, which featured an enormous title change and the first actually funny Jiro Shinbashi match in ages. Still in Korakuen, they also discuss a bit of a meh event from STARDOM from last week, with a lot of talk about the big unit movement that caused all sorts of controversy on social media.After that it&#39;s time to discuss the final show that will ever be held at (the original at least) Shinjuku FACE, an interpromotional affair from 9/30 that was emotional and hilarious. Finally, they wrap things up with another check in on Ice Ribbon as they review their 10/3 show from Kamata.Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: http://twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.social Our Sponsors: * Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

Open The Voice Gate - PAC

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/9/29/15/882853a4-4975-4f1a-85e2-57345d9d0fde_motm_r52_why_am_i_so_violin.mp3

One of the more recent tropes in pro wrestling is &#34;Why am I so violent?&#34;, where a babyface wrestler will have a crisis of conscience about the level of violence they are dishing out against their opponent (and typically stare at their hands while doing so). It&#39;s meant to be this dramatic emotional arc, but more often it just makes the babyface look like an idiot and a coward for not wanting to hurt their opponent. On this episode, Andrew comes up with one of his delightfully devilish puns with a topic called &#34;Why am I so violin?&#34;, in which he and first-time guest Hypnotoad (VOW Discord) play songs that have a string section instrument in them (violin, viola, cello, double bass). Artists played include Kansas, The Cranberries, Ben E. King, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Shirelles, Queensrÿche, The Verve, and many more. Don&#39;t stare at your hands too long, or else you might miss this episode!Theme song: &#34;Hemispheres&#34; by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/Donate Our Sponsors: * Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

Music of the Mat Remix: Why Am I So Violin?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/9/29/15/6624a78a-a8e9-45f0-8d11-bc56f7e4a343_omakase_episode_315.mp3

John &amp; John reunite for the first time in months, and unfortunately the first topic they have to discuss is something no one wanted to be talking about: the incredibly tragic and sudden news of PAC passing away. That&#39;s right at the start so wanted to make sure I noted it for anyone listening who isn&#39;t ready to hear that sort of thing- it does come up a few more times in the episode as well. RIP to an incredible professional wrestler and, by all accounts, an even more incredible man.They then have to make an awkward transition over to discussing the imminent closing of an iconic Japanese wrestling venue, Shinjuku FACE, as John takes you through some of their own personal history with the venue and talks about how much they&#39;re going to miss banging their head on the bathroom ceiling, ahead of discussing a bunch of final FACE shows later in the episode. But first they head over to the thankfully not closing Korakuen Hall to discuss the finals of an eventful AJPW Oudou Tournament, discussing the first of two bonafide MOTYCs, a homegrown wrestler finally winning the big one, and more. They also look ahead to an upcoming AJPW tour that really spreads the wealth around a bunch of different shows, so to speak.Then it&#39;s over to the King of Sports to discuss a somewhat underwhelming Destruction in Kobe show, at least until a fantastic main event saved it somewhat. There&#39;s lots of speculation about where things might be headed into Wrestle Kingdom season too, as they look ahead first to the upcoming King of Pro Wrestling show (and two Korakuen title matches as well).And then they finally get to the whole load of final shows for each promotion at iconic venues, starting with DDT (maybe the promotion most synonymous with the venue of all!). They discuss a final title challenge, Daisuke Sasaki&#39;s incredibly high memorabilia valuation, and more! Afterward it&#39;s time to finally leave the men&#39;s wrestling behind and shift into joshi, first with Sareee-ism Chapter XII, a fantastic show with another bonafide MOTYC in the main event. Then they discuss the final Sendai Girls show from FACE which featured a big debut and John Bivins describing how much he loves Spike Nishimura.John (Original) then goes it alone for two more show reviews, first the final TJPW show from FACE that also serves as their go home show for the big Wrestle Princess VII event next week (which they also dutifully preview). Finally, they wrap things up with another Ice Ribbon review, this time the second half of a doubleheader from Yokohama.

In the latest episode of the GWP, host Jesse Collings is joined by Alan4L of Alan4L&#39;s Pro Wrestling Paradise Podcast on Pro Wrestling Torch to discuss how wrestling styles have gone from being unique to different promotions, to main event matches looking the same across all promotions.They discuss the history of wrestling becoming more homogenized, the biggest in-ring influences of the last 20 years that have contributed to the style, and the few wrestlers today who work a unique style, as well as a lot more in an extremely detailed and nerdy discussion about what we see in the ring today.  Our Sponsors: * Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!
