Omakase is back on the air as John is joined by returning guest Arametha, and fair warning: this starts with about 55 minutes of general jovial celebration about the US election results from this year. If this is not something that interests you, please feel free to skip it, but you've been warned! Once that's out of the way they get into some major wrestling shows from the past week or so in Japan, starting out with NJPW Power Struggle from Hiroshima. They discuss another strong recent number at the gate for New Japan, the state of Shota Umino discourse, Kenny Omega back in the saddle, and whether the build to Wrestle Kingdom was a little too predictable. Then they look ahead to some other upcoming shows, including Lucha Kingdom from Mexico and two unique Korakuen events.Afterward they head back over to STARDOM and briefly discuss a Korakuen show from 10/27 before then going into a full review of 10/29's Crimson Nightmare PPV from Ota Ward Gym, breaking down some very dumb attendance takes, a solid undercard, an apparently accidental Halloween costume match, the big STARS vs. HATE elimination showdown, marital comedy, and an awesome main event red belt match. They also talk a little about the start of the Goddesses tag league and more. Things stay in joshi as they head back over to Ice Ribbon to discuss their 10/25 show from SKIP City, featuring an outstanding tag team match and also some other matches that definitely happened. They then preview a big PPV from Itabashi with two title matches.Finally, they head back to the land of DDT for a review of their Ultimate Party show from Sumo Hall, featuring a very unique main event, an outstanding technical wrestling match, some other great wrestling up and down the card, some really funny comedy as well (one of which leads us down a para para rabbit hole), and a whole lot more. The episode then wraps up with a brief preview of the upcoming Korakuen show from DDT's sister promotion Tokyo Joshi!Omakase 2026 Year in Review/WK Preview Extravaganza Sign-Up Form (Deadline 11/15!): https://forms.gle/iJgWpPpmjGEJCRzm6Follow Wrestling Omakase's Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: http://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialOur Sponsors:* Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!
