goodhelmet Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, the audio issues are comical... Kris is sick, I am puffing on a pipe and it picks up every drag, Charles' phone is making a beeping sound whenever he talks and somebody was exercising during the show. Weird shit.

goodhelmet Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Nice! With all the audio things, still tons of info in here and full disclaimer.. this is not a history of Japanese wrestling. There is some of that. This is more of a pimping podcast where we hype the big players, the big matches and important feuds. It really is designed to convince somebody who is apathetic or hesitant to watch puro that it is worth exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 The audio definitely gave the show some... character! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 80s New Japan in general is a huge blind spot for me. The information about New Japan/UWF feud was much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
