Episode Details

In a special POISONRANA PROFILE, Braden Herrington and Davie Portman take a deep dive into the history of Will Ospreay vs. Kenny Omega — from their first encounter in PWG all the way to their unforgettable showdown at Forbidden Door 2023.

Along the way, they revisit some of their most highly acclaimed matches, including their NJPW tag encounters, their Tokyo Dome classic and the rematch in Toronto, while breaking down the seemingly very real beef that played out across Twitter, interviews and press conferences over the years.

Two wrestlers with remarkably similar paths and visions of professional wrestling, both determined to prove that they deserve the throne as The Best in the World.

The lads talk all about the hype for AEW ALL IN: London this week, plus so much more!
