Welcome to Those Days: A Michinoku Pro Retrospective!Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) lead off this episode discussing Michinoku Pro coming out of their first tour and Sasuke & Delfin’s complicated and deteriorating relationship with the ownership of Universal. Then, they discuss the elements leading to the collapse of Universal and try to give an updated interpretation of the promotion’s dying days. As Universal putters out, Michinoku has perhaps its first last stand, television pilots with local and Japanese cable networks, and the introductions of Jinsei Shinzaki, Gran Naniwa, SATO, Wellington Wilkins Jr & Super Boy. And it’s time for the Delfin Corps, the biggest show in the company’s history, and Great Sasuke vs Super Delfin matches for the UWA World Welterweight Title!Shows discussed:5/5/93 FMW - CLIP of Michinoku Pro offer match - https://youtu.be/pKcthRZ5aFk?si=OLvAY5q9tZ7gT-0N&t=16256/19/93 - Michinoku Pro - https://vkvideo.ru/video587241643_

Most wrestlers do not use their real names; instead, they use a gimmick name which better fits their character or just works better for wrestling. Gimmick names are not just part of wrestling, they're used in many other facets of entertainment as well. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Erin Quinn play artists who use their own gimmick names instead of their real ones. Artists played include Lady Gaga, Scissor Sisters, Alabama 3, Poe, P!nk, Boy Jr., Alice Cooper, Elvis Costello, and many more. It doesn't matter which name you use, you'll still enjoy this episode!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerTwitter: @MsErinQuinnBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @erinquinnAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateOur Sponsors:* Check out NordVPN today at https://nordvpn.

There are few better moments during a wrestling match that make you want to raise your fist and say "Hell yeah" than when a wrestler defiantly kicks out at one. The one count, when used at the right time, can send a jolt of energy through the crowd and put a little extra mustard on a match. On this episode, Andrew is joined by first-time guest Cola TheLodger from the VOW Discord to play songs that only have one word in the title. Yes, it's that simple, but this episode is anything but, as Cola's picks are entirely in the stoner metal/doom metal genre, while Andrew's picks are a lot more varied. It's a really fun hang with artists like Fu Manchu, Supergrass, the Pointer Sisters, Neurosis, Zero 7, Dr. Colossus, Mastodon, Seal, and many more. Fire yourself up with a one count kickout and fire up this episode for a great conversation about music!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: Voiceso
