I take a look at the quarter-, semi-, and finals of the 2019 New Japan Cup and give an overview of where this year's tournament ranks alongside previous years' efforts.

Key points from this episode:

"Best New Japan Cup Ever, by far"

"Rainmaker 2: Superman Returns"

"NJPW structure their main events like I structure my university essays: long procrastination with a rushed finish"

"Why did Tanahashi defeat in-form lanky brit instead of throwing him to blond-mohawk guy?"

"Sabre maybe doesn’t deserve my sh*t talk at this point, but oh well"

"I swear to god if you’re still sleeping on Yoshi-Hashi… ugh I need to go cool off..."

"You’re all blaming the wrong guy for embarrassing the US"

"Cabana had a good match!"
