Wrestling 2 the MAX EXTRA: NJPW New Japan Cup 2016 Nights 1 & 2, Stan Hansen to WWE HOF, & More

Sean, Paul, and Tom Reese discuss the first two nights of the NJPW New Japan Cup 2016, Stan Hansen going into the WWE HOF, & much more.

We meant to do this a day earlier, but real life gets the better of you sometimes. On this W2M EXTRA, Sean, Paul, and Tom Reese discuss the big announcements made by New Japan involving the Super J Cup, Shibata signing, Lion’s Gate Project tryouts.

The main attraction is us going through the first two nights of the New Japan Cup 2016. Did we like who moved on? Who has the best chance to win? We make a case for each person left? Even though Tetsuya Naito probably gave it away in an interview he did.

We also talk about the passing of Hayabusa, what he meant to wrestling, Stan Hansen going into the WWE HOF, and more.

Sean Garmer: studied Journalism at the University of North Texas. Sean loves pro-wrestling so much that he even trained to be a wrestler at the age of 17. Though he eventually had to quit wrestling to go to college, he still returned to do play-by-play commentary, help write storylines, and most of all, to watch matches. Sean started his love of pro-wrestling at the age of five after watching a Hulk Hogan match. Due to his family hating sports-entertainment, there were many years he missed. However, he returned full-time to being a fan in the late 1990’s. Since then, Sean has gone on to write for various wrestling websites in a number of capacities, but he discovered his true passion, Podcasting, two years ago when he and Gary started the Wrestling 2 the MAX Podcast.

Gary Vaughan: is a native North Texan with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. His time in college actually rekindled his love of pro wrestling he had lost somewhere along the way. Gary’s enjoyment of the sport began around 1996. As a fan, he has become a student of the wrestling business and gains knowledge through many platforms. WCW is dear to his heart because of it being his introduction to the scene. Now, Gary is a proud podcast host, as well as a writer for wrestling columns.

Paul Leazar: is a recent college graduate from the University of North Texas who has a History degree, but works at a Comic Book store. He was born an’ raised in the great state of Texas, and began his love affair with pro wrestling at the tender age of five after watching WWF’s Summerslam 1993 pay-per-view. The relationship turned serious with the growth of independent wrestling and the internet in the early 2000’s, which has seen the love affair turn into a full blown addiction that led him to write about it sporadically for various websites, and co-host the Wrestling 2 The Max podcast.
