We have come to the end of the road for this year's G1. Paul, Sam, & Wilfred are on hand to discuss nights 14-18 and, of course, the G1 CLIMAX 28 Finals culminating in a classic (though not everyone agrees) between the Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and the Golden Star, Kota Ibushi. And they do it all in just a little over two hours. Don't be shy to let us know what you think about this year's tournament and our thoughts. Join us on Twitter as we continue the conversation over the next week @KoPW72 Find Wilfred @NJPWUS & @WilfredWatches Of course, big shout out to The Hails for the intro anf outro music. Stay tuned for some awesome Starrcast news in the near future and don't forget to stop by and say hello on Friday as we take to Podcast Row. ...
Wait a minute! This isn't NJPW! Paul and I felt we'd be remiss to not talk about the biggest weekend of the year for North American wrestling. In this episode you'll find our full rundown of not only Wrestlemania, but what may be the best WWE super card ever produced in NXT Takeover: New Orleans. We've got a lot to say, but naturally mentions of our favorite promotion aren't too far behind. Especially considering Okada and Tanahashi were at the Super Dome and Nakamura wrestled in one of the main events... Ok, ok, Wrestle Kingdom it was not, but we hope you enjoy this special bonus episode. We'll be back very soon with an all NJPW episode discussing Road to Dontaku! ...

We're gearing up for our huge G1 Climax 28 preview next week, too, so don't be shy with your thoughts on the tournament and picks for victory. As always, thanks to the Hails for our intro & outro music. & Don't forget to check out our pal Wilfred over at njpw-us.com ...
