    Completely insufferable, especially Damon who is a 50+ alcoholic who behaves like a teen girl and can barely string two sentences together because decades of ssris+alcohol have fried his brain

432 Super J-Cast Power Struggle Preview
Q: Why are you reviewing all the Super Junior Tag League action so far?
Joel says he found the tournament enjoyable to watch during car rides and recommends the Sunday Korakuen Hall show as the best one to catch.
431 Super J-Cast Super Jr. Tag League Preview
Q: Can you see the final being anyone else than Robbie X, Ishimori versus Fujita and Eagles?
The hosts consider that matchup the obvious expected final, while Damon raises Yoh and Hyo as a possible dark horse.
431 Super J-Cast Super Jr. Tag League Preview
Q: Why do you guys have such a hard on for making Fujita a heavy? Do you really see someone with such a small frame going over the beefcakes like Takeshita and Bolton and Tsuji?
Joel says Fujita appears to want to leave the junior division, while Damon argues that New Japan's top juniors face a ceiling and often move up to heavyweight when they can.
425 Super J-Cast Road To Destruction Reviews
Q: What is the path for the Wrestle Kingdom challenger after the G1 and Destruction cycles?
The hosts suggest creating a short tournament or round-robin structure between major events like King of Pro Wrestling and Power Struggle to establish a credible challenger for Wrestle Kingdom, rather than relying on a single post-Destruction build.
