Yakuza Kick Radio

Since 2010, Yakuza Kick Radio (hosted by Jay Cat Morris) has always combined the most razor-sharp wrestling analysis and social commentary in the game. The show has also given us interviews from a cavalcade of independent wrestling stars, with a focus on Combat Zone Wrestling. Currently, Jay Cat has joined forces with Stan to review/recap every CZW show from 2001. But, Jay Cat also continues to use his platform to analyze happenings in the wrestling world (and beyond).
