Q&Tr

In this episode Alex discusses the beginning of joshi wrestling in 1946 and its history through the 1960s, she also addresses why there is a lack of documentation of joshi wrestling in comparison to male contemporaries during the post-war era of Rikidozan.

The long awaited end to the We Don't Know Wrestling Society X journey has come. Myself and semi-co-host Kris P. Lettuce are back for one last ride and we cover a lot of ground with the last two WSXTRAs and last two episodes of the Hall of Fame worthy season/series.

NOTE: At about 37 minutes in, my audio drops out for 30 seconds. No clue what happened but apologies, and I'll look in to it so it doesn't happen again - Quentin Psychology is Dead returns as Quentin Moody is accompanied by the host of Boots and Trunks, Jamesie to have an in-depth conversation about Daniel Bryan's run in WWE. Through shaky beginnings to becoming the company changing supernova, it's all covered. Was Daniel Bryan really THAT much different than Bryan Danielson? What are the best Daniel Bryan matches in WWE?

Mania Weekend review with special guest Daniel Makabe

In this episode of Boots and Trunks, Jamesie looks at the 1994 Super J Cup and how that tournament served to make one particular wrestler an overnight star. And he takes the opportunity to wax lyrical at the greatest football debut performance of all time for his beloved Manchester United.

In this episode Alex tackles the Takarazuka Revue and gives a brief history of the all-female theater group and its important connection to joshi wrestling of the late 1970s into the 1980s. She also takes time to are some grievances with the way many wrestling fans seem to willingly misunderstand the culture surrounding Japanese wrestling.

In episode 3, Alex takes a look into the origins of the visual aesthetics of shoujo manga of the 70s by explaining the origins of magazines made for a demographic composed of the growing number of female students attending secondary school. How did the iconic art style of shoujo manga develop those giant sparkling eyes and why did the early 70s see the debuts of a large number of young female artists? The pre-war era holds the answers. https://isayyousayheisei.home.blog/

Finally, after a long hiatus, We Don't Know Wrestling Society X is back with Mr.SCI aka Ben AKA Boston Nooga. We talk about why WSX strikes a chord with us, the camp appeal, and one of the all-time great endings to an episode of a televised wrestling program. I am afraid to overhype it but not sure how I possibly could. There are multiple pieces of human trash in this promotion and try to avoid talking about them at any length and will continue to try and improve that. Follow Ben on Twitter @BostonNooga Follow WDKW Podcast Network on Twitter @WDKWPN

In the first proper episode of the BeruBara Tag Boom Alex gives an introduction to this extended look into what was happening in Japanese girls' culture in the 1970s, what elements were used to help create the Beauty Pair and Crush Gals, and why it resonated so much with teen girls during that time. Certain words that those unfamiliar with Japanese revue theater and joshi wrestling may be unfamiliar with as well as an overview of some sources used for this project. *Correction, women were legally allowed to perform on stage in 1890 and the first women's theater school was founded in 1908 by Sadayakko Kawakami.
