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.

With the biggest weekend in Dragon System history upon us, OTVG spends almost two hours previewing Kobe Pro-Wrestling Festival 2021 and Speed Star Final! Case and Mike breakdown both shows (at least what was known at time of recording) and preview the big Kobe World Kinen Hall weekend ahead of us. With each title having back-to-back defenses, they give their thoughts on what’s going to be the most likely outcome coming out of Kobe, and what they’d think would be the most interesting outcome. You will not find a preview as in-depth and covering all the angles as you will find this week with OTVG!

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.

The road to 2021’s Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival and Speed Star Final is coming to a close and OTVG has a lot to say about it. The show opens with a frank talk about the addition of a YAMATO Dream Gate shot at Speed Star Final and an initial discussion about the four scenarios coming out of the biggest weekend in Dragon System history both creatively and business-wise. Afterwards, Case and Mike review an excellent 7/9 Korakuen show with the blowoff between YAMATO and KAI in the return of the No Ropes match and Masato Yoshino’s Tokyo farewell and touch on the big points on an uneven 7/11 return to Kyoto’s KBS Hall.
