New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Climax in the spotlight, and then the “Modern NJPW to Historical WWE” Trade Machine…

Follow @TheDocLOP

This week, The Doc is joined by Rich Latta of Social Suplex to discuss the NJPW G1 Climax. Plus, Rich devised a game that plays off their mutual interest in the NBA trade machine and that involves current New Japan wrestlers and WWE stars from past eras.

The G1 Climax has been quite an experience, thus far. Doc has never watched it as it happened before, and greatly appreciates the emphasis on the sporting element inherent to a round robin tournament. He and Rich chat about their favorite matches to date and about which stories are likely to pique their interest as the journey progresses.

Later, during the aforementioned game, Rich tries to convince Doc to make the trades! Will he swap the talents he has grown up with as a fan since the late ’80s and studied throughout this decade in extensive book writing research for contemporary stars from New Japan?

The game was inspired by a chat between Doc and Rich last week regarding long-time WWE fans perhaps finding it easier to appreciate NJPW and the stylistically unique wrestlers from abroad by connecting them to wrestlers they do know, as in from the history of WWE.

4 Corners Podcast: Chalk & Chase

This week we talk a little MLB, discuss the red-hot Blues, the GR8 Chase, and whether a chalky NCAA Tournament is a bad thing.

This week on the 4 Corners Podcast, we talk a little bit about the opening week of the MLB and ponder just how good the Dodgers and Yankees will be this year. We then return to discussing hockey as Patrick’s Blues have suddenly become the hottest team in the NHL. Meanwhile, the GR8 Chase nears its conclusion as Alex Ovechkin has nearly reached the summit of the mountain that is the NHL All-Time goals record. The guys then discuss the NCAA Tournament. After a few upsets in the earlier rounds, things have been very chalk since then, with all four #1 seeds making it to the Final Four. Is that a bad thing? The answer might surprise you. All this and more, TUNE IN!

This week’s hosts… Patrick O’Dowd @wrestlngrealist and Dave Ungar @AttitudeAgg

Bandwagon Nerds #282: Daddy Ganon & A Glass of Wine

A double dose of Daredevil, major Zelda news, a massive Avengers: Doomsday reveal, and Villain Madness Round of 32 matchups highlight a huge week!

This week, the NERDS give you a double dose of Daredevil: Born Again. Disney caught most of us by surprise as it dropped two very different but very good Episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. The guys break it all down for you as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk both cross the line and revert into Daredevil and The Kingpin. Where will things go from here? Nintendo made a massive splash as it announced the long-rumored Legend of Zelda live-action movie will be released in 2027, leading the NERDS to speculate about who will be cast in the key roles. Speaking of casting, the MCU had an epic reveal of an enormous number of people and characters that will appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Which names surprised us, and which names were we surprised to see left off the roster (so far)? Villain Madness continues with Round of 32 matchups in the Cosmic and Criminally Insane regions, and all we can say is one region saw some major upsets. All that and of course Whatcha Watchin”?
