John is back for another new episode of Wrestling Omakase (I know, already??) as we do a deep dive into VOW's annual 30 Under 30 list, which just came out a few days ago! They're joined by two voters for the 2025 list: host of VOW podcast The Good, The Bad & The Hungee Fred Morlan (can also check out Fred's Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/flagrantwrestling) and Paul Wedding (@PaulEWedding on Twitter), who also happen to be two first time Omakase guests. John, Fred and Paul proceed to break down the 30 Under 30 results, starting with a bit of a deep dive on the promotion breakdown of the list- and John comes armed with some hard attendance figures to discuss that one promotion in particular may have been shortchanged by the results!
Once that's out of the way they proceed to break down all their selections for this year, started with wrestlers they all voted for and going in the order of their finishes on the final list (followed by wrestlers only two of three voted for and then of course wrestlers only one of them voted for). A ton of names across Japan, Mexico & the US are discussed as well as a ton of different topics, including but not limited to: surprise at Gabe Kidd going number one and the backlash to the pick on social media, how much the booking of Kaito Kiyomiya has hurt him, whether Yuma Anzai may eventually have to go elsewhere, MAO being a highlight of BOSJ, Saya Kamitani and Sareee both getting ranked way too low, other major STARDOM snubs, Kosei Fujita's eventual ceiling, a hasty MJF defense from Fred before he has to go early (and a burial from John), and a lot of shoutouts from Paul of some Osaka talent that you may not have heard from. Plus a whole lot more!
