A variety of topics are covered this week on Burning Spirits, as we start with a half-hearted review of the Fortune Dream show from June. We then jump to DDT to review the Konosuke Takeshita vs. Mike Bailey KO-D title defense. We discuss Mike Bailey's new persona as well as Takeshita's continued progression as DDT ace as we head closer to the big Peter Pan show in August. Finally, we review the BJW Korkauen Hall card from 6/28 and preview the annual Sumo Hall card coming up this weekend. Plus, the return of Burning Spirits Cursed Audio!

We break down every match (in reverse order no less) and give our overall impressions of the show and some dreadful ~fantasy booking~ going forward. Be sure to listen towards the end for some fairly bewildering Burning Spirits Cursed Audio as well!

This week on Burning Spirits were back in the weird and wonderful world of DDT! Drew, Kevin, Brenna, and Nutmeg the cat open the show with a review of the heavy main event from the much-anticipated Osaka show, before moving on to Korakuen Hall.

Burning Spirits #39: A Leisurely Conversation About Wrestling in 2017

 

In this Very Special Episode TM of Burning Spirits, Drew & Kevin are joined by Timothy Robert Buechner (@luchaundead) to stroll through the year in wrestling so far.

 

We bounce around to a variety of topics including star rating conspiracy theories, our favorite matches, wrestlers, promotions, and more! Meanwhile, Drew has an inpromptu therapy session and seeks answers about his lack of connection to recent NJPW main events. Its our most self-indulgent episode yet, but we felt like everyone needed a break, so here you go! Oh, and of course we get the inside scoop on Onita at CZW from Kevin.

Burning Spirits #40: DDT Peter Pan 2017 Preview

 

This week on Burning Spirits Drew is joined by Jamie (@jamieOD) from Dramatic DDT (@dramaticddt) to preview the HUGE upcoming DDT Peter Pan event.

 

Jamie is a true fountain of DDT knowledge and provides great background and insights for every match on the card, including the dark matches! If youre looking to jump into DDT this is a great episode to help familiarize you with the show, or if youre already a fan, this is a great way to get hyped up for this weekend!

Burning Spirits #41: DDT RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2017 ~PETER PAN EVEN IF YOU BECOME 20 YEARS OLD PETER PAN~ Review

 

The true peak of Burning Spirits Cursed Audio is reached this week with a horrendous sounding episode. We've got Trump Rally crowds, tornado warnings, audible thunder claps, double and triple echos, underwater mic effects, ambient music, hypnosis directives and more to confuse and disorient the listener. If you dig through all that, you will also find a tremendous episode with an even more tremendous guest! We are joined this week by Chad Campbell (@bigboysplaywcw) of Place to Be Nation/Pro Wrestling Only fame to review DDT's flagship show, Peter Pan! We review every match on the card and have a lengthy discussion of the main event and current ace Konosuke Takeshita. We talk about the future, what the company's plans are for Tetsuya Endo going forward, and bring in some past DDT history and insights to flesh out our thoughts. There's a great episode in here that, while at times frustrating and even veering into the surreal, really delivers the goods as far as match discussion goes (in my humble opinion.) Come to think of it, that's almost like a microcosm of DDT itself right? Check it out!

Burning Spirits #43: DDT CAMPSITE WRESTLING LIVE WATCH

 

What better way to do a live watch of DDTs recent Campsite Wrestling match than with two people who have never really watched wrestling before? No better way, thats what!

 

With Kevin down for the count this week, Drew is joined by his lovely wife Isabelle and Brennan is joined by his lovely fiancee Zoraya for a bewildering introduction to DDT via Campsite Wrestling! Listen for the confused silence, the nervous laughter, hilarious reactions, and genuine confusion as these two wonderful women attempt to navigate the insanity they see unfolding before them. I will say this, this episode rewards the listener for listening through to the end, so dont give up!

I don't normally listen to this, but some of the matches intrigued me.

 

Extra interesting when it's a relative novice to 80s American wrestling. Good stuff.

Cool thanks for checking it out! We usually just stick to modern non-NJPW Japanese promotions but we branches out this episode, especially because Brennan hadnt seen the Flair/Steamboat series.
