Speaking of Strong Style Steven Conway, Jeremy Finestone

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.
