Dream Slam Monthly Vol. 11 Kairi Sane Sails Home - POST Wrestling

DREAM SLAM MONTHLY

After 18 months of residence back home in STARDOM, KAIRI lowered her banner once more as she charted a course back to WWE. There had been heaps of speculation as to where her ship would sail next, and I would be remiss if I didn’t jump for joy not only to see her back in WWE but aligned together with IYO and Asuka as a trio under the Damage CTRL banner with Bayley and Dakota Kai. I am cautiously optimistic about her return, especially with Triple H at the helm.

POST PURORESU

It’s wild that I am in the navigator’s seat alongside WH Park as part of POST PURORESU. Prior to joining POST as a regular, WH invited me on several episodes of PURORESU, so it means the world that I am now part of this program. The next episode of POST PURORESU is slated for Friday, December 1st.

Patreon Curated Episodes

For those wanting some special curated playlists and candid discussion about STARDOM, Kairi and Giulia, I sincerely hope you’ll check out the following guest spots:

Poisonrana Podcast: Best Match Ever: Kairi Hojo & KAIRI (Now Available) I finally fulfilled my promise to Davie & Brayden to bring them some STARDOM Era Kairi matches. This episode was over a year in the making, and Kairi’s return to WWE earlier this month prompted this episode.
The STARDOM Cast: Giulia Roundtable (Available 11/25) With all the buzz surrounding WWE’s potential interest in Giulia, Rob, Matt and I reunite our version of Threedom once more to trade notes and matches on essential viewing for those curious about Giulia and her impact in STARDOM.
