Hello, hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 45 of Joshi Around Weekly.

We are a part of the Social Suplex Podcast Network, a network dedicated to bringing you the best coverage from all over the world, including podcasts such as Keeping It Strong Style, the Trish and Sarah Wrestling Podcast, One Nation Radio, Tunnel Talk, All Things Elite, Imps AEW Adventure, Wrestling Art with Chris Stings, and the AEW Match Guide.

We also release the Social Suplex newsletter around once a month that gives you in-depth coverage from promotions all over the world, the best coverage in all of wrestling media, and you can find it on socialssuplex.com. Keep your eyes peeled this week.

We are gonna have a little mini issue as a preview for the All In weekend.

We are gonna preview all the shows in London, like all the indie shows too and everything, and tell you how to watch them and what's gonna happen, gonna be happening on them, as well as previewing, of course, the big AEW show and everything else that is going on, um, that is important to know.

And once you're done with that, you can also join the Social Suplex Discord, where you can find Eric and me and can ask us any question you want.

If we're gonna answer, that's, that's another question, but, um, you'll see.

Anyway, today is August 25th, and we have on our agenda, obviously, ShoPro [laughs] and the wrestler blogs.

Before we go into the big Stardom Five Star Grand Prix finals show from this weekend, we also had the Tokyo Joshi Pro Princess Cup finals this weekend.

Um, then we're gonna preview the big Sengoku show from next week, and, or from this weekend.

And also the Marigold, the start of the Dream Star Grand Prix.

We're gonna preview that.

And then we're gonna enter the indie zone.

Indie zone.

Where we are gonna go over the Surrealism show from yesterday, the Seeding 11th anniversary show from today, brand hot, hot off the presses.

Um, we got a Wave show.

We got a Choko Pro show.

We got Gan Pro, Ganbare, Ganbare Pro, and Gokigen Pro, our favorite promotion.

And then we're gonna go into some quick previews and our Match of the Week discussion.
