love the show guys, i have three questions.
What does it take for a North American/European wrestler to get over in Japan?
and who would you say was the most successful American/European wrestler that worked in Japan?
Also if you could recommend one show each for a newbie trying to get into Japanese wrestling what would it be?
many thanks for the shows.

What does Kojima and the audience yell when he goes for his top rope elbow?

What are the wrestling arenas or any arenas a visitor may want to visit when in Japan? Sumo Hall, Budokhan etc?

Bump/ reminder- we'll record this months main episode in a week or two so keep those questions coming. Also there might, might be a very special episode with a special guest- if all goes to plan- that is if I can locate said guest somewhere in shibuya in the next two hours from now.

We cleared all questions this month on the show (I think); next month we'll be doing our best of the year show. Do you have any suggestions for award categories (outside of the obvious best match/show etc.) Plus, give us your picks for the best of Japanese wrestling this year.

Hey guys,
Not really a question per se - I just wanna say I've been listening since the very first J.A.W. episode and I've gotta give you credit for continuing to improve the show on a technical level. The content was always there from the start but W.H.'s voice quality was pretty brutal in the early shows. This week's show sounded great and you both are really hitting your stride as co-hosts - definitely a show I look forward to hearing every month. Keep up the great work sirs!

Do any japanese companies release biographical dvds like WWE on wrestlers with their best matches . Do shoot interviews with wrestlers exist in Japan? Are wrestling conventions big in Japan like in America with Autograph /photo sessions etc?

I have a subscription to Pro Wrestling Illustrated, and if I understood Spanish I would subscribe to the Super Luchas magazine, in a heart beat. This has caused me to wonder are there any Japanese wrestling magazines? If there are, what is the most popular one? Are their magazines written for the smart crowd like PWI (with a tiny bit of kayfabe thrown in) or is it written for the "marks" like WWE magazine? How often do they come out: weekly, biweekly, monthly? Can the two of you give a quick run down of what you can expect in one of the magazines?

Thanks for the Q, we didn't get to any questions this time, but will discuss it next month. Short answer is yes, we have a glossy weekly called weekly pro wrestling, appropriately enough. Just recorded our January show with a full WK rundown with Damian Abraham guest starring, if you haven't had enough of him already (you can never have too much in my opinion). Should be a good one, but I dunno; it's 3am as I'm waiting for it to process and upload so I'm no judge on what's good or not. Keep your feedback and questions coming!

Hey guys, long time listener- first time poster What intrigues me the most is what kind of storylines are being used by NJPW. We all know wrestling is far more rooted in sports than in entertainment, but isnĀ“t there the need to go beyond "you got the title that I want" or "I will beat you up"? Can you give an example of 2 historical storylines and a current one? The shows is much appreciated and I would love to hear back from you concerning this matter. Kind Regards Frosti

I'm excited now and it has to be posted here, though I've tweeted Chris about it. I'm heading over to Tokyo, basically because I feel like it. I'm heading over in less then a week, booked the ticket today. And I'm looking to go to the New Japan show at Korakuen Hall on February 3rd. I haven't traveled in awhile, and since I"m heading back to work soon, I might as well get a week or so in a different country.

Post your thoughts on the show here and we'll give air to them on the podcast. Speaking of, we should be recording later this week, so renewed push for extra questions!

Hey guys,
I have a bunch of questions I would love to ask but I think I think I will start with one that has been bugging me.
What is your take on Japanese/America wrestling promotions relations these days?
I remember the days of Liger in WCW and Tanaka in ECW, and even the classic matches we have seen in the past. But it just seems like these opportunities don't exist anymore. This really struck me with the rumors of the WWE trying to poach Okada. Is there room anymore for some form of cross promotional matches?
Also on that note, if the WWE had gotten Okada can you imagine anything coming from that?
Thanks guys!
- SSK
