Eastern Lariat #298: Sakura Genesis Preview + Potpourri! (AJPW/DG/NOAH/MPRO/SG/MG/TJPW/STARDOM)

With Cherry Blossom japanese pro-wrestling usually gets into second gear after more moderate months. So STRIGGA & Dylan fully dive into the scene, covering everything from New Japan over Marigold to Michinoku Pro. This episode begins with AJPW's latest big show and the upcoming Champion Carnival and then turns to DRAGONGATE’s Rey de Parejas final and their road to Dead or Alive. This is followed by a big chunk of joshi wrestling including Marigold’s latest Korakuen, Stardom’s build to 4/27, and the latest from TJPW and Sendai Girls. While Pro Wrestling NOAH set up a huge title match at Sumo Hall with OZAWA vs. KENTA in May, New Japan Pro Wrestling's Sakura Genesis with Hirooki Goto vs. David Finlay is very close by. Buckle up as the Eastern Lariat boils up another potpourri!
