The Stiffs return with a smorgasbord of wrestle talk to unload as we take a look at one of the most interesting years in wrestling from a global perspective and how interconnected everything truly was (seriously, some things might surprise you!), we also touch on some of the marquee matches from these promotions and some that may have flown slightly under the radar. We go from WWF to AJPW, FMW, ECW, WCW, NJPW, GAEA, AJW, JWP and more with a little thread connecting everyone in this retrospect of one of the greatest times for wrestling fans!

We're back with the first installment of a somewhat regular subseries focusing on the bridge between cinema and wrestling. And in true Working Stiffs fashion, we had to open the box up with an exploration of Japan and the puro stars that found their way onto the silver screen.

We watched 4 movies for the main focus. We start with a quick remembrance of Antonio Inoki and his many incarnations in tv before going into Rikidozan: A Hero Extraordinaire. Then we discuss the absurdity of life through the lens of Minoru Kawasaki by way of Akira Nogami being the legit second best option to a squid in The Calamari Wrestler (46:34) and literally everyone wanting to get in Kota Ibushi's flawless briefs in Daikaiju Mono (58:35). We close with thoughts on the rare gem that is My Dad Is A Heel Wrestler (1:11:02) starring Tanahashi, proving you're never TOO young to get wised up to wrestling. It's all that and more in the newest edition of Working Stiffs Wrestlecast!

We're back for Season 2 of the Working Stiffs Wrestlecast with a whole new vibe! Today we'll be taking a stroll down memory lane as we examine the bizarre time capsule that is 2009's Wrestle Kingdom III. We spend some time on what made this an interesting watch for us, the things that surprised us looking back (and what didn't), why it was probably an underrated turning point for NJPW, and everything in between. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you have as much fun listening to it!
