Ep 39 | Stand Alone ’26 Review, HYPE! 4 Announced

This week on the pod, Andy catches up on a busy week of TJPW news and shows. We start with the exciting announcement of HYPE! 4, the latest updates for Summer Sun Princess ‘26, and the possible arrival of a new mascot (which may see Arisu pulling double duty as a bear?). Then we review Stand Alone ’26, including the major title matches, new challengers, and where things landed with the Ironman Title coming out of the show. We also look ahead to Next Door in Yokohama and close with a check-in on Yamashita in EVE, Nakajima in MLW, and six TJPW wrestlers in DDT. Plenty to cover, very little of it normal. So, a pretty standard week in TJPW.   TIMESTAMPS: (00:00) Start (01:15) Intro (06:16) HYPE! 4 Announced, Summer Sun Princess Update & A New Mascot?
