This week, the Forbidden Door runs through The Wrstling Podcast as Gareth interviews none other than the voice of New Japan himself, Kevin Kelly!

In addition, we look at previous cross-promotion events, such as NJPW/ROH and January’s NJPW/NOAH, and consider how Forbidden Door may build on those shows.

We conclude CybrFightFstival by welcoming another world champion to the podcast, none other than the KO-D Openweight Champion, Tetsuya Endo!
This interview covers a lot of bases, exploring both Endo the man and Endo the wrestler. We learn about his introduction to wrestling, his rivalry with Konosuke Takeshita and working with Jun Akiyama, whilst also touching on his love of beetles, unique diet and more!
For us, this interview offered a generous insight into one of wrestling’s most exciting performers – we hope you enjoy it too.

Interview Season is back and CybrFight Fstival 2022 has officially begun!
We kick things off with something of a ‘pinch me’ moment for The Wrstling Podcast, as the boys welcome long-time favourite and current GHC Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki to the podcast!
Go walks us through his training, the differing philosophies of Yoshinari Ogawa and Harley Race, preparation for Satoshi Kojima and that stare down with Kazuyuki Fujita.
Alongside all the usual silliness, this one is filled with unexpected insight into one of wrestling’s living legends – He is NOAH!
