Happy Thanksgiving to our American audience. This week we break format with a pre-recorded interview with New Japan Strong’s Justin Borden. Justin has been a referee for many promotions in Southern California including Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, United Wrestling Network, and Lucha Underground. Jay Cal enjoyed his conversation with Justin as we touched on growing up with wrestling. How he landed as a referee in the business and his success in the industry. Justin still referees for some independents in Southern California including the Empire Wrestling Federation and this weekend he will dawn the stripes for Pro Wrestling RIVALS. Please enjoy this conversation with Justin and tune into to NJPW Strong on the NJPW World App. Stay Social with Justin Borden at: 📸 - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/themainref123/ 🐦- X.com - https://x.com/themainref123 Please Visit Our Sponsors 🏆 Trophy Smack - www.trophysmack.com/theallianceblog 🔋 Dubby Energy - https://www.dubby.gg/?ref=72l7mvqpvRyFK4 👕 Merch - https://streamlabs.com/theallianceblog1/merch Hear the Podcast On 🎧 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3SQfqQSOlOUft0ZB2RB9AF 📺 YouTube - https://@theallianceblog 🦶 Kick - https://kick.com/theallianceblog 🎮 Twitch - https://twitch.tv/theallianceblog 🍎 Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-alliance-blog-podcast/id1350227099 ♥️ I Heart Radio - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-alliance-blog-podcast-107569496/ Stay Social with the Alliance 💻 - Discord - https://discord.gg/fUKuBAYG 🕺 - Tiktok - http://tiktok.com/@theallianceblog 🟦- Blue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/theallianceblog.bsky.social 🧵 - Threads - https://www.threads.net/@theallianceblog/ 📸 - Instagram - http://instagram.com/theallianceblog 🐦- Twitter - http://twitter.com/theallianceblog The Alliance Blog Podcast has entered its 16th year, spotlighting the talents affiliated with the NWA and the United Wrestling Network and beyond.
