S3E5: Ricochet vs Will Ospreay w/Niki Blumberg

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. That's right, it's the match that moved Vader to take to twitter and forced Jim Cornette to declare the wrestling business dead for the second time that week.

And diving into the pod head first from the top rope to help break down all the action this week is performing arts publicist Niki Blumberg (@blumbergy)
