In the 24th edition of Victory Through Guts, Dylan Murray and Alex Richards cover two AJW shows from April and May of 1992. The first is the ever-important Wrestlemarinepiad 1992 event, a show heralded as the Best Major Wrestling Show of the Year by Dave Meltzer and the WON faithful along with a 5-Star Match between Manami Toyota and Kyoko Inoue. While the VTG Boys are of the belief that the show didn't quite live up to those standards, the show did feature things to fawn over, namely the penultimate match in the Bull Nakano vs. Aja Kong series of matches. The following month, AJW ran Korakuen ..read more

After a brief hiatus, Victory Through Guts is back with Episode 22, the beginning of the 3rd season. For this episode, we provide coverage of January 1992 in Joshi wrestling, which proved to be a pivotal month for the scene as it saw the official closure of the Original JWP organization.
