This week we deep dive into The Golden Lovers v The Young Bucks from NJPW Strong Style Evolved 2018 featuring special guest commentary from Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks as well as Imp from Imp's AEW Adventures.

In it we discuss how the build to this match laid out a blueprint for pro wrestling TV that The Elite would take into AEW and how that story gave this match's action such a strong foundation to build on.

And we get Matt's exclusive thoughts on what went into putting this match together and how they felt about it afterwards.

For some additional lite reading here is a super in-depth article about the history of The Golden Lovers that I read extensively in researching for this podcast: https://medium.com/we-need-to-talk-about-wrestling/that-one-tweet-thread-about-the-golden-lovers-annotated-e9fc604e3a7f
