Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #130: The Downfall of F4W/WON
Q: What do you think is the core selling point of the Wrestling Observer today?
Dave Meltzer and The Observer remain central, but the site has struggled with SEO-driven content and a lack of diverse voices, which weakens its long-term value compared to a more collaborative, multi-voice platform.
Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #128: The New New Japan Pro Wrestling
Q: If you had to give a letter grade to New Japan Pro Wrestling's overall performance so far in 2026, what would you give it?
The guest, J. Michael, and the host settle on a B+ as a balanced assessment, acknowledging strong fundamentals and a favorable vibe shift while noting ongoing gaps and the need for more solid top-tier stars and clear booking directions.
Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #121: Where Are All The Black Wrestlers In The WON Hall of Fame?
Q: What are some specific challenges Black wrestlers faced historically?
The discussion highlights how Black wrestlers were often limited in terms of promotional support and opportunities compared to their white counterparts, severely impacting their visibility and recognition in the industry.
Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #121: Where Are All The Black Wrestlers In The WON Hall of Fame?
Q: Could you discuss the historical context of Black wrestlers and their representation in halls of fame?
Ian explains that many Black wrestlers faced systemic barriers, leading to their underrepresentation in organizations like the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, recounting specific examples and discussing how societal factors affected their careers.
Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast #122: First Time Hall of Fame Voting With Oliver Lee Bateman
Q: What do you think of the current age limit for Hall of Fame eligibility?
