Joshi in WCW (with SPECIAL GUESTS Megan Nielsen and Elle Collins!)

The Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport

Welcome to the world of colourful ring gear, makeup that doesn’t smear and stiffness that’s stronger than death- it’s Joshi, the wrestling subgenre of women hitting each other really, really hard. It turns out, WCW had a lot of this going on, which is surprising to everyone here but Doublecakes, apparently. But what do I mean, “everyone?” Well, we happened to be joined by Elle and Megan of the mighty Hard Times Podcast! So join us as we delve into topics such as the many presentations of femininity in Joshi, how hard Bull Nakano hits people, how hard Bull Nakano owns and just how many times Madusa and Akira Hokuto actually faced off in WCW (we don’t actually know, but it’s a lot). Tonight, on what will surely go down in history as the Greatest Podcast in the History of Our Sport, we reflect on the horrid abomination that is Hog Wild 1996 through the lens of furious women smashing motorcycles.
