Here it is: our special All In coverage! We kick off with thoughts recorded at Starrcast, less than 24 hours removed from attending the historic show live. We then move into our thoughts a week later after letting the show sink in a bit. We also tease our NJPW Destruction coverage for next week! And keep your eyes peeled as we'll be delivering special bonus content like interviews and NJPW discussion recorded live from Podcast Row at Starrcast in the coming weeks! Plus we'll have our special interview with Matt Charlton (@ShiningWizardDs) up soon as well!

Paul & Sam are joined by Wilfred for news, notes, & night 1! Sam has to step away to be a new dad & Wilfred fills in on 2-6 with Paul. But keep listening after the outro music for a quick burst of G1 thoughts from Sam, recorded after a few days of 4 hours worth of sleep... It's the most wonderful time of the year and there's a lot to cover in this year's very deep tournament, not only in terms of in-ring action, but long-term storytelling too!
