Work me: How New Japan works with reality in its characte...

What this episode covers

It was a big week for New Japan Pro Wrestling, as cheering crowds finally returned. Join the Stiff Bois as the revel in the joy of this moment, discussing night 2 of the Burning Spirit tour and doing their best to avoid the elephant in the locker-room of this week pro wrestling discourse. Who are we kidding? That news is inescapable, so the lads go All Out (without going all in on AEW) to explore the idea of ‘reality’ and its role in pro wrestling as seen in NJPW with its characters and stories. From Jay White to Tetsuya Naito to EVIL, the lads go deep into different examples to try to understand where they stand on Kayfabe vs reality and the blurred lines of contemporary wrestling. Listeners will note that Dave is citing the great work of @KarenMurray_ and the link to the related episode is below: https://youtu.be/CxWos-twkuY Follow us on twitter @weworkstiff Listen. Like.
