Wrestling Weekly: NJPW 4, WWE Injuries, 50/50 Booking 1/8

Les and Vic cap off a very newsworthy week in the world of wrestling with lots of thoughts about the New Japan 4, the rash of shoulder injuries, and 50/50 booking in WWE.

After starting off with New Japan, we’ll tackle a couple of issues mentioned in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter: the eye opening stats regarding 50/50 booking in WWE during 2015 (23:25) and the proliferation of shoulder injuries within WWE and the strength and conditioning program (28:18).  Les has an interesting take on the injuries and workout regimens given his time a wrestler, wrestling trainer, bodybuilder and certified professional trainer for a number of gym and organizations.  We’ll wrap by emptying the mailbag (49:28).
