Episode 300: Stardom All Star Grand Queendom, Meiko Satomura Retires, NJPW Update

The big 300! Strig and Dylan start the show off reminiscing over where we've come as a Japanese wrestling fan society in the time of these 300 episodes and talk about some of our favorite episodes and moments. From there Strigga bounces back to give his take on the Tetsuya Naito situation in NJPW and where they can go from here. After that we move over to talking about Stardom's All Star Grand Queendom show, the #1 rated non-tribute show of all time on Cagematch currently! We break it down all the way through, match by match, story by story, and even talk about the future of the company and many participants including the two departing ladies of the hour, Mayu Iwatani and Tam Nakano, and the lead Phoenix of STARDOM, Saya Kamitani. After that we wrap up talking about Meiko Satomura's retirement show and the end of the career of the legendary Joshi Star, her impact as a trainer and her matches all over the world. It was a Joshi focused show, and it was a big one! Sit back, enjoy, let us know what you think of episode 300 of the Eastern Lariat!
