Double Feature: Everything New Japan All At Once
This is not a normal episode. It's not even a normal double feature. But, after an eventful week for the show online, the Bois gather to explore the differing views on contemporary pro-wrestling through the lens of how they see pro-wresting.
The result is an experimental podcast that acts as a rumination on the current NJPW approach to storytelling and the reaction of fans when this interfaces in other spaces.
The goal. To explore an approach to criticism that may be useful in understanding the show's intent; an approach that could hold the key to unlocking a more considered and connected discourse moving foward.

Golden Stiffies Award Show
With a short break from NJPW touring action, the Stiff Bois have time to take a break from engaging in the dreaded discourse, and can finally reveal the listener voted Golden Stiffie Award winners.
Because it's a bit late, the lads can start to do some of that classic WWS projecting to think about who could be in the running for each category by the end of the year.

HoT Ones: New Japan Cup Final
Was the juice worth the squeeze?
The Stiff Bois discuss a controversial New Japan Cup, through the lens of House of Torture, to provide HoT takes on the different types of storytelling that aid the rise of pro wrestling characters; important concepts when considering the rise of Yota Tsuji.
This is a shorter and more focused episode aimed at assessing if the ends justify the means when we the ends are Gene Blasting all over the arena in a classic style Cup Final; and what these means actually are in a conventional sense.
Plus, we also talk Shota's inverse failure to Tsuji, Jack Perry working the sheets, why Goto is just the best (like, the best) and we outline "elevated House of Torture".
