So it's been a while, but we're back! 

In this episode we talk about everything we've been watching recently, mostly Pro Wrestling NOAH and AEW, we talk about both in depth and go over the stuff from 2021 that managed to leave a lasting impression in our ADHD riddled minds.

Welcome to the first episode of our new pro wrestling and labour show made in collaboration with Southpaw! 

In this episode's general discussion we talk AEW (Danielson vs Suzuki, women's division booking, Hangman's return, title tournament bracketology, etc), Pro Wrestling Noah, the Zeusification of Osaka Pro Wrestling, and Chris Ridgeway vs Ethan Allen (2020 match, 2021 match). We also have a longer conversation with labour organiser Nino about their recent work with indie pro wrestlers in the US.
