A Million Ways to Die in the West: The core conventions of NJPW
The wholesome Aussie Stiff Bois this week, like basically every New Japan content creator, have to talk about the AEW and NJPW partnership in the wake of the drama and discourse of the weekend.
But rather than vent frustrations, the lads use this as an opportunity to uncover the structure of New Japan's narrative conventions and explain why the events of the past week concern them in relation to these. This is a character and storytelling podcast after all.
This is followed by a thorough, hour long, discussion of the first two nights of World Tag League, the key teams, characters and major stories that have stood out and some of the early implications for the league and possibly Wrestle Kingdom.
