    Crea from Pure J

    So happy to have Crea from Pure J on the show. She is one of the rising talents in the Joshi scene right now.

    We chat about her growing up in Nagoya and how she had a family friend who was involved with wrestling.

    Crea discusses how she got involved in wrestling and what it has taken to get this far in her career.

    She is so thoughtful with her answers and laughed at all of our terrible jokes.

    Please have a listen, you will enjoy it.

    2023 Joshi Draft

    2023 Joshi Draft

    It's the Fourth Annual Joshi Draft!

    We are joined by JPQ from PWI’s “Just Joshi” podcast and JD from the 'RedLeaf Retrocast'.

    Our rotating 4th person this year is Scott from Fightful, Voices of Wrestling, Wrestling Purist and a few other places. The guy is killing it!

    We may have found our permanent fourth. We will have to bring on a fifth in 2024!

    The draft is brought to you by PWRevolution x West Coast Pro's Queen of the Indies scheduled for May 13 in San Francisco, California. Tickets can be purchased at www.qoitickets.com! 

    The four of us select 10 Joshi wrestlers? No, not 11 or 12 Joshi wrestlers.

    An audible is called during the draft and we each select 15 Joshi wrestlers and a legend to lead the team. 

    Well, three of us pick a legend and JPQ had a pick.

    Who went number 1?

    Who made the worst selection?

    Were we idiots for not drafting someone?

    Can The Joshi Pod repeat as champion?

    You get to decide which roster is the best! A Twitter poll will be pinned to the top of The Joshi Pod's Twitter page.

    We had a lot of fun doing this again and we hope you enjoy listening!

    Natsumi Sumikawa

    So happy to have Natsumi Sumikawa from Actwres girl'Z on the show.

    We talk about her background before starting with Stardom her break because of injury and her triumphant return to Actwres girl'Z.

    She was a big reason why I fell in love with Actwres girl'Z while I visited Japan.

    Please excuse my voice as I had a terrible cold during the recording.

    Please have a listen, you will enjoy it.

    Thank you, Derek Kolterman for interpreting for us! We all sincerely appreciate it!

    Yuki Miyazaki

    This episode is a special one.

    We welcome to the show from Pro Wrestling Wave, Yuki Miyazaki. She has been a favorite of mine for many, many years.

    Yuki came into the business in a time where training was brutal. She persevered and succeeded in wrestling.

    She is still going strong, having amazing matches.

    Yuki talks about mixing deathmatch and comedy into wrestling.

    It was a sincere pleasure speaking with her.

    We hope to have many more from Pro Wrestling Wave on the show.

    Thank you, Derek Kolterman for interpreting.
