Many of the questions we posed on the preview were answered &#8211; some more emphatically than others, some negatively, and some positively! Alan gushes over yet another MOTYC level bout from the white hot IWGP tag division, analyzes where to go from here with Jake Lee, and buries the Ren Narita\/Aaron Wolf affair under the earth. Plus a look at something great that New Japan needs to do more of in an effort to build connections for its fanbase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/02\/20260212A4L.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
