John is back on the air with indie wrestler John Bivins to break down another big week in Japanese wrestling, starting out with TJPW's latest event from Korakuen Hall! John & John talk about a major title change (that neither of them seemed to expect), two new debuts and a lot more as the world of Tokyo Joshi just keeps on rolling, before getting into a bunch of upcoming shows in what's shaping up to be a busy end of the year from them. Then they head over to Dragongate to discuss their own latest Korakuen show, which also featured a couple of new champions being crowned. They discuss some of their ongoing frustrations with DG's booking this year as well, though, which also leads into a discussion on what they consider the worst promotion of the year in Japan to be as 2026 starts to head to a close (and that also dovetails into a brief review of the recent Naito/Kenoh GHC title match from NOAH!). After that it's back over to the joshi world for a review of Sendai Girls' 11/6 event from Sendai PIT, which featured the semi finals of their young wrestler tournament and some matches being set up for their own next Korakuen show on 11/22. Finally, they wrap things up with another show from Ice Ribbon, this time their 11/8 show from Itabashi, as they discuss another excellent main event, a surprising title vacancy, two literal children doing great things together and a whole lot more! A little shorter than usual for us but no less fun!

Omakase is back on the air as John is joined by returning guest Arametha, and fair warning: this starts with about 55 minutes of general jovial celebration about the US election results from this year. If this is not something that interests you, please feel free to skip it, but you've been warned! Once that's out of the way they get into some major wrestling shows from the past week or so in Japan, starting out with NJPW Power Struggle from Hiroshima. They discuss another strong recent number at the gate for New Japan, the state of Shota Umino discourse, Kenny Omega back in the saddle, and whether the build to Wrestle Kingdom was a little too predictable. Then they look ahead to some other upcoming shows, including Lucha Kingdom from Mexico and two unique Korakuen events. Afterward they head back over to STARDOM and briefly discuss a Korakuen show from 10/27 before then going into a full review of 10/29's Crimson Nightmare PPV from Ota Ward Gym, breaking down some very dumb attendance takes, a solid undercard, an apparently accidental Halloween costume match, the big STARS vs. HATE elimination showdown, marital comedy, and an awesome main event red belt match. They also talk a little about the start of the Goddesses tag league and more. Things stay in joshi as they head back over to Ice Ribbon to discuss their 10/25 show from SKIP City, featuring an outstanding tag team match and also some other matches that definitely happened. They then preview a big PPV from Itabashi with two title matches. Finally, they head back to the land of DDT for a review of their Ultimate Party show from Sumo Hall, featuring a very unique main event, an outstanding technical wrestling match, some other great wrestling up and down the card, some really funny comedy as well (one of which leads us down a para para rabbit hole), and a whole lot more. The episode then wraps up with a brief preview of the upcoming Korakuen show from DDT's sister promotion Tokyo Joshi!
