This is not a normal episode. It's not even a normal double feature. But, after an eventful week for the show online, the Bois gather to explore the differing views on contemporary pro-wrestling through the lens of how they see pro-wresting.
The result is an experimental podcast that acts as a rumination on the current NJPW approach to storytelling and the reaction of fans when this interfaces in other spaces.
The goal. To explore an approach to criticism that may be useful in understanding the show's intent; an approach that could hold the key to unlocking a more considered and connected discourse moving foward.
