Ep. 99: WWE x New Japan w/ BJ Mendelson

This week BJ Mendelson joins the Nation of Conversation! He’s an author and comic book writer and he's got tons of thoughts on everything that happened in wrestling this week, from the pull-apart brawl between Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley to the continued reunion between Daniel Bryan and Kane as Team Hell No. Plus, a closer look at the next phase of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s feud in NXT, who BJ thinks may be better than Paul Heyman on the mic and Danielle explains to the team what the Aztec Medallions of Lucha Underground are. The Main Event A few weeks ago, WWE promoted a special encounter between the New Day and New Japan’s The Elite. Sure it was a Street Fighter V competition at E3, but afterwards, Triple H said that the company is open to a cross-promotional show with New Japan. But how likely is such a meeting to REALLY happen? And what would we like to see go down at this hypothetical event? The Three Count BJ put over Fantasy Super Cosplay Wrestling. Danielle put over Episode 8 of Season 2 of GLOW. Mike put over Robbie E’s podcast Why it Ended. Hal put over the recent segment on Smackdown that featured Rusev on commentary. Hosted by Hal Lublin, Danielle Radford, Mike Eagle and BJ Mendelson.
