This week, Steven and Jeremy previewed Forbidden Door 2024. They discussed the angles on AEW Dynamite that added a few matches to the card and broke down the event match-by-match. They talked about the title matches, including Stephanie Vaquer versus Mercedes Mone, Jon Moxley versus Tetsuya Naito and why they feel it's time for the IWGP title to come home. They also looked at the Mina Shirakawa match with Toni Storm, and why the two of them along with Mariah May have made this one of the most compelling matches on the show. They also previewed Shingo Takagi's match with Bryan Danielson, Zack Sabre Jr. versus Orange Cassidy and Kazuchika Okada meeting Hiroshi Tanahashi again in a six-man match. Plus, is Jeff Cobb really not defending the TV title after laying down that challenge? Jeremy and Steven also talked about the first round qualifying matches for the G1, and whether the company is truly moving toward a youth movement, or just teasing us. Finally, they covered NJPW stars in Mexico, plus the life of Sika and the Wild Samoans in Japan.

Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway return with Speaking of Strong Style. This week, the pair looked at the lineups for the upcoming G1 Climax tournament and shared their early thoughts on how the blocks could play out. They also analyzed the two qualification tournaments to determine the final two entries. Will New Japan really have a G1 without Hiroshi Tanhashi or Tomohiro Ishii? What could their plans be if Shota Umino can't compete? Plus, they discussed New Japan Soul, why HENARE's NEVER Openweight title win was so satisfying, why El Desperado ascension to the top of the junior heavyweight division bodes well going forward, and why David Finlay's win over SANADA seemed a well-wrestled formality. Steven and Jeremy also looked ahead to upcoming matches and discussed the roles of guests like Takeshita and Jake Lee.








 










 

Steven Conway and Jeremy Finestone are back with Speaking of Strong Style! This pair talked about the Despe Invitational and how the bonkers show from Korakuen Hall was a lot of chaos and a lot of fun. They also discussed the new format of the G1 in a bit more detail and theorized how Zack Sabre Jr., Shingo Takagi and others could have a big impact on the tournament. Will there be room for guests from AEW or NOAH? They previewed All Together, featuring Tetsuya Naito versus Jake Lee, and the New Japan Soul show coming up. Jeremy and Steven looked at the title matches on that show and how some title changes could affect the G1, Forbidden Door and other upcoming events. With Jon Moxley versus Naito coming soon, these shows could tell us a lot about the future direction of New Japan. Plus, Steven looked back on the 15th anniversary of Mitsuharu Misawa's passing.
