Battle in the Valley Recap, New Beginning Tour to Begin

This was recorded only an hour or two before the news of Kazuchika Okada leaving was posted on the New Japan site. We will have more reaction to that huge new soon.

In this episode, Jeremy and Steven talk Battle in the Valley! Jeremy attended the show in person, and saw an outstanding night of wrestling. They discuss Okada v Will Ospreay, Eddie Kingston v Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley v Shingo Takagi, Shota Umino, Giulia and much more. The pair broke down each match on the card and why it was significant to New Japan storylines going forward. They also discussed possible leadership scenarios for United Empire, whether Matt Riddle will be able to stay in New Japan long, ideas on the NJPW Strong Women's title and how they think Jack Perry fits in the New Japan landscape. Jeremy and Steven also talked about why they think ticket sales for the upcoming Windy City Riot are selling so well. They covered the upcoming New Beginning tour, including Saturday's Tama Tonga-EVIL clash for the NEVER Openweight title and another Strong Tag Team title defense from El Phantasmo and Hikuleo, plus a wacky King of Pro Wrestling match. They also talk Fantasticamania and the big show coming in Osaka. It's all you need to know as a New Japan fan!
