Open the Voice Gate - Rewind and Rewatch 20 - Fearless 2011 Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Welcome back to Open the Voice Gate - Rewind and Rewatch, where Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are Rewinding and Rewatching the Dragon Gate USA era of shows.

It’s the 2nd Anniversary triple-shot weekend, and it kicks off on 6/3/2011 in Revere, Massachusetts at the Wonderland Ballroom with Fearless 2011. Before the show, we step into the timeline to talk about the DGUSA events post-Wrestlemania 2011 leading up to this weekend of shows. A note on Larry Sweeney, Jimmy Jacobs’ sudden departure, Chuck Taylor’s injury, and DGUSA dealing with the unit shakeup in Japan are the big moments from April into June of 2011.

After that, Case and Mike discuss an incredibly uneven Fearless 2011 that has both of them wondering if the famed DGUSA slide is beginning. Featuring the return of Masaaki Mochizuki, they reflect highly on his return, a Susumu Yokosuka and Ricochet match that would foreshadow matches to come, and an United Gate main event with the now Former World-1 teammates of Masato Yoshino and PAC defending against former Kamikaze USA in YAMATO and Akira Tozawa. The gang also wonders if this is one of the worst venues in DGUSA history, a lot of DUF, and a ridiculously long Austin Aries vs Johnny Gargano match.

The show review starts at 00:26:08

Open the Voice Gate - Gate of Adventure (8/8-8/12/2020) Reviews! Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Welcome back to Open the Voice Gate! Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are back with an update on the comings and goings of Dragongate.

Just a heads up: Case and I had a bunch of internet gremlins get a hold of this recording, and I had to use a low quality capture and piece it together. Apologies for the sound quality (Case is louder, I'm soft and rode levels). Will be fixed next week. - Mike

On this week’s update, Case and Mike talk about the AEW/Stronghearts news and relate it to the current status of the stable. After that, they review the three shows Dragongate had over five days in Kyoto on 8/8, Osaka on 8/9, and Korakuen on 8/12 as Dangerous Gate grows ever closer. The improvement of Diamante, the Complete Guide to Punch Tominaga’s career, and U-T’s return are highlights of this run of shows. Afterwards, they preview 8/15’s show at Kobe Sambo Hall and start to look ahead to the remainder of DG’s August and into September!
