The original alternate is back  — and this time Mike decided to show up.

Did he add anything? We’ll leave that up for you to decide. But — after an extremely busy weekend — there wasn’t a lack of things to talk about. Most of the focus is spent on New Japan’s Power Struggle, including proper fawning over the Young Lions, HIROMU!, SHIBATA!, another meeting of the Jay White Appreciation Station, abolish the junior tag division, Jericho, and more.

Plus, Adam’s live thoughts on the MLW pay-per-view, a look at some of the other very well attended shows from this weekend, Chihiro Hashimoto-Sareee, and — yes — some big audio nightmares, too. Enjoy.

Big Audio Nightmare: G1 check-in, Budokan weekend preview

Posted on by Adam Summers

Have you heard way too much talk about the New Japan G1 Climax? Hell no you haven’t.

Because of that, Adam and Mike are back with their thoughts on how the tournament is progressing. We take a look at who has stood out to us, along with some of our favorite matches since the last time we did a show. We also give our predictions on what the end of the tournament could shape up like.

Plus, we ask some questions that have answers that can only be determined later. How great will Shingo-Ishii II be? Could Jericho appear this weekend? What if the end was nigh for Naito? How about EVIL vs. Archer in October. It’s always a fun time of year, and we thank you for Climaxing with us on the Adam and Mike BIG AUDIO NIGHTMARE~!

Big Audio Nightmare: Checking up on the G1 Climax

Posted on by Adam Summers

The original alternate is back with another “brief” edition of the show — which we cheerfully recorded at the crack of dawn.

Disheveled, but not deterred, we give our thoughts on the ongoing New Japan G1 Climax tournament.  Who has stood out most to us, both good and bad? Plus, some of our favorite matches, loving all over the Okadahashi era, and Climaxians G1:29.

Also, because we didn’t get a chance to talk about it much, we’ll go ahead and note it again here: watch the Dragon Gate 20th Anniversary Show. We’ll do that next time around, we promise. Until then, enjoy the Adam and Mike BIG AUDIO NIGHTMARE~!
