This week on The Patron Saints of Sick Sons of Bitches, Orchid and Colette go deep into three years of Kenny Omega’s career, his 2016-2019 run as a heavyweight in New Japan Pro Wrestling! Orchid joked that Omega would be a three-parter, and boy was she right! Beginning with the night he took control of the Bullet Club, we explore his reputation as a tournament wrestler, the beauty of his famous four match series against Kazuchika Okada, and the many ways in which the “Bullet Club is fine” angle was not, in fact, fine.
In addition to all of the hot Elite action you could possibly want, Orchid and Colette discuss a major update to the Wheel. Going forward, you can add your favorite wrestler to the wheel via a 5* review on your podcatcher of choice, or by supporting Patron Saints on ko-fi:
