Mike is left solo this week, and instead of going in-depth into GLEAT, he’s doing something a bit different this week. After running through the news of Dragongate’s week and before previewing this weekend’s shows in Hakata, Mike spends the episode discussing a mini-deeper cut mix tape he put together celebrating PAC in light of his Brave Gate record being threatened by Ryoya Tanaka. He takes you through five matches, celebrating one of the greatest foreigners in company history when “The Bastard” was simply “The Man That Gravity Forgot!”
