Joshi'ing around – Details, episodes & analysis

In this special episode Chris and I are talking about Syuri vs Sareee.

"Which one", I hear you ask? Well, why not both! In a special new format we met before STARDOM's "The Conversion" and recorded our thoughts on the first match and the entire build and history between Syuri and Sareee and previewed the second one with all our predictions of what we think might happen. Then we met 7 days later and reviewed our predictions, how right or wrong we were and extensively talk about the second match itself.

Jared joins me in episode 7 to talk about AZM vs Starlight Kid. Specifically their match from February 23rd 2022. It is one of the more famous matches in the history of Stardom and we had a lot of fun discussing all the wild exchanges and the high speed style. We also talk about Eddie Guererro and the American Indies.

In episode 6 I am joined by author and writer Mike Meginnis to talk about a legendary match from 2001, a match that arguably made the career of Meiko Satomura who retired very recently, on the day 24 years later. We also talk different goals in wrestling fandom and our damaged society.

It is a special episode 4 for the Joshi'ing around podcast, as my lovely guest Trish from the Trish & Sarah Wrestling Podcast and I talk about not just a single match, but the entire All Star Grand Queendom show from 4/27/2025 in Yokohama Arena which turned out to be a monumental achievement for the STARDOM promotion, the end of an era in many ways and a new beginning. We also ventured off our path in some ways and briefly looked at the current goings on in NOAH and NJPW. it was a great conversation as always.

For the second episode of Joshi'ing around my friend Ariel watched Natsupoi vs Starlight Kid from 12/29/2024 in Ryogoku Kokugikan. In front of over 4000 people these women battled for the White Belt in a phenomenally emotional match and I was there for it live!

We talk about that as well as Ariel's first impressions of these two women, her many thoughts on the match and joshi as a whole!
