As he returns to the ring for the first time in 18 months, Mark & Kieran dive deep into the DDT portion of Kota Ibushi’s career. Arguably, one of the most important figures in the history of DDT and its exposure to western audiences. PLUS: Munenori Sawa, BxB Hulk, Dragon Gate, the warehouse at the end of the train line, Buyuden, nuts to YouTube, the Phoenixplex, blow-up dolls, rocket launchers, Hunter x Hunter, Ninja Mack, Kazuki Hirata, Poundland Ultraman, DJ Nira, El Generico, the dual contract, Shoji Kondo, The Hollywood Blonds, attempted murder, HARASHIMA love, takoyaki, Nobunaga’s Ambition, and Mark gets stranded outside of space and time.
