Jan 23, 2025•46 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Rocky Romero is the glue of the wrestling industry, and wears many hats as a result! He’s a VP for both AEW and New Japan, he works with ROH, Stardom, CMLL, and RevPro, and was heavily involved in the planning, coordination, booking, and execution of Wrestle Dynasty at the Tokyo Dome earlier this month! Rocky gives some BTS on what it took to make Wrestle Dynasty happen, how Forbidden Door helped pave the way for this event, and why he hopes this was the start of another great collaborative tradition in wrestling. He offers analysis on some of the upcoming NJPW talent featured at Wrestle Dynasty like Shota Umino, Yota Tsuji and Gabe Kidd, shares valuable lessons learned from his mentor, the great Tiger Hattori, and what the word “retirement” means to him. Plus, stories about his recent ROH tag match with Homicide at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and his in-ring work with Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe as part of The Conglomeration!
