S3E9: Akira Hokuto vs Shinobu Kandori w/Sam Krumrine

On this week's episode Joaquin, Frank and Chuck are excited to finally explore the wonderful world of Joshi with an absolutely wild inter-promotional brawl. It's AJW's "Dangerous Queen" Akira Hokuto taking on LLPW's Shinobu Kandori.

A bit of a content warning for this week's pod: if you're not a fan of blood then this might not be the match for you. But if you've got the stomach for it then watch a match that garnered 5 stars from Dave Meltzer and is widely considered one of the greatest women's wrestling matches of all time.

And of course joining your boys this week to break down this Joshi classic is Sam Krumrine! (@samkrumrine)

Pip pip cheerio! This week your pod boys are heading back to New Japan Pro Wrestling to watch the "controversial" high-flying showcase from the Best of the Super Juniors tournament in 2016 - it's Ricochet vs Will Ospreay.
