The Stiff Bois return from a hiatus to debut a new series. Opening with Josh providing some context for the new series, a few apologies to our Stiffies for the delays, and thank yous to PWA for their hospitality on his Bucks weekend, the episode includes a short solo preview of King of Pro Wrestling at the start, but ultimately marks a new way forward for WWS. A new series focusing on breaking down the young characters of NJPW according to a set, Stiff coded criteria, this bonus format will give Josh and Dave the scope to dive deeply into the things they love in NJPW with a focus that should encourage real dialogue with our Stiffies. We will still do preview and review shows – and cover the latest happenings weekly. But this format will give us the room to go good looking. Plus, this is just the pilot. The format will be expanded upon in the coming weeks. We are excited about this one and hope the coming months of content will make up for the previous ones absence.To join the Club or grab some merch to support the show.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thestiff.club ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weworkstiff.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find and follow the show:On X / twitter@weworkstiffOn Instagraminstagram.com/weworkstiff/On Redditreddit.com/r/WeWorkStiff/On Youtubeyoutube.com/@weworkstiffEmail us [email protected] Listen.
