It&#8217;s a double dose of Japan this month. Well&#8230; somewhat. We go back to the mid-\u201890s for some New Japan Pro Wrestling, but it was not referred to as such and only aired outside Japan. Yes, it&#8217;s an episode of Ring Warriors brought to us by the Hiro Matsuda\/Howard Brody outfit World Superstars of Wrestling Inc. We absolutely had to pick an airing from Eurosport with Craig DeGeorge and Sir Oliver Humperdink calling the action, and we see the likes of Scorpio, Vader, Ultimo Dragon, and of course The Hell Raisers! Our other show for this month was as Japan as Japan gets with the first episode of DDT Live Maji Manji from 2018, featuring the likes of Takeshita, Ueno, and Mao in the early part of their careers and your DDT staples like Harashima, Mad Paulie(!), and yes, Danshoku Dino. It&#8217;s April; go enjoy that grand stretch in the evening, but when you come back inside, have a grand stretch on the couch, and check out <em>what\u2019s on the telly<\/em> with us!<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK: <\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2026\/04\/20260428A4L.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
