A Beautiful Morning Was Waiting

Em and Harley talk the second show from new American joshi promotion Sukeban.  Arisa Nakajima vs. Unagi Sayaka to crown the first Sukeban World Champion.  The debuts of Sareee and Rina Yamashita.  A makeover for Konami.
How can they afford all this?  Is this the first wrestling promotion to get covered in Vogue?  Which current promotion is Sukeban perhaps most closely in line with?  Why aren't we getting five-star bangers, and is it purposeful?

On the season 10 finale, it's Halloween again!  Harley and Em are joined by Glitterati member Don and new friend Traci McFace to spin the old WCW Halloween Havoc wheel and make some deals.
They each land on a gimmick and then seek out a women's match from that type to watch.  Will they get a lumberjill match?  Princess of darkness?  Coal miner's glove?  Which wrestlers will be chosen to represent this Halloween?  Which matches will abandon their gimmicks halfway through?  Find out on another spooktacular edition of G&G.
