It’s time to get hype again! In honor of HYPE! 4 airing today, we travel back to April 2024 to cover Hyper Misao’s second produce show, HYPE! 2 ~If We Could Meet in a Dream~.

We break down the full production, how Misao evolved HYPE! from a wrestling show into something closer to live theater, the deeper story behind Raku and Re:, the real-life circumstances that made Raku’s role even more fitting, and why Aja Kong is the perfect opponent to bring the entire story home.

The original HYPE! is a very special show, regarded by many TJPW fans as a cult favorite.

On today’s bonus episode, Andy rewinds back to May 2023 to review this classic show which spawned 3 sequels, the latest of which arrives later this year.

Another interview edition of the Tokyo Joshi Pod is here! Today Andy is joined by Mike Fullilove, better known as Ref Mike -- the same Ref Mike who navigated a cardboard Tesla in Austin and refereed Yuki Arai’s title defense in Las Vegas. Mike joins the show for an in-depth conversation about breaking into the wrestling industry and jumping on board with Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. We also talk about his upcoming trip to Japan, his advice to other referees, little know responsibilities during a show, and the types of matches he enjoys the most. If you’re curious about a referee’s role in the business or you just can’t get enough Ref Mike, this is one you won’t want to miss!

TJPW held its biggest show in history last Sunday and what better way to celebrate than by holding one of our biggest podcast episodes in history! In an episode that just keeps going and going (like that Hyper Misao tag match), Andy breaks down all the major news from Grand Princess ’26, including four new champions, records set, returns, debuts, special guests and sadly -- the death of Raku’s pillow. We also cover a number of match announcements for Gaisen, Vancouver, Europe and Malaysia, as well as full coverage on the Vegas Press Conference.

This month’s bonus episode is a look back at Texas Stampede from a fan POV. Andy made the trip to Texas, took in all four shows, and of course stopped for some chopped brisket at Buc-ee’s. But as much as the BBQ stood out, the real highlights came during the meet & greets -- talking ice cream with Uta, asking Pom when she’s finally turning four, trying to make sense of Rika’s newest character, and Wakana breaking down her love of Cheetos like it was a serious scouting report. Add in a few delicious meals, some fun times with friends, and a loooong drive back to Southern California, and this trip ended up being one of the most memorable wrestling experiences ever.

We round out the show chatting Shoko Nakajima in ChocoPro, the EVE x TJPW collab show, Vegas updates and a few birthday shout-outs this weekend.
