On this episode of the Noobs and Knockouts Podcast, we begin a new arc, taking a look at the 2021 AEW Women's Eliminator Tournament, starting with the first round of the Japanese side of the bracket! And with a wrestler who sings her own entrance song in the tournament, who else could we bring on this show but one of our theatre nerd friends, Elizabeth? In this episode we talk about wrestling in a lockdown from a pandemic, AEW's struggles with booking women, the differences between American women's wrestling and joshi wrestling, Austin's unabashed love of Maki Itoh, the Magical Girl and her Magical Girl Splash, VENY and Emi Sakura putting on a clinic, Ryu becoming David's favorite, Aja Kong being a legend, and more! Won't you join us?
