On a special edition of Wrestling Observer Radio from Tokyo, Japan, Dave Meltzer, Fumi Saito, and Jim Valley recap Wrestle Kingdom 13, an epic show with incredible matches, and talk about the future for New Japan, AEW, ROH and key pro wrestlers. 

The show featured seven title changes and incredible performances up and down the card from Will Ospreay’s opening match win over Kota Ibushi to Sanada, Okada, Chris Jericho, and Naito.
