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.

On this very special episode of Open The Voice Gate, Case and Mike take a step back and talk about the aftermath of Dragon Gate USA. They talk about events in the Dragon System since 2014, the lineage of the Open the Freedom Gate and Open the United Gate titles after the promotion’s end, give their bests of the promotion, talk about some big picture DGUSA issues, successes, and failings, and take listener questions about DGUSA to close out the show.

A complete document of Mike’s Top DGUSA Matches by year, and Case and Mike’s Overall Best of DGUSA is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1motilaXH4izKie5PS5wq22RonTn-XJTUX0sXPuXTAso/edit?usp=sharing

This week on Wrestling Omakase we discuss a difficult topic and a whole lot of very average wrestling, save a couple bright spots here or there.

The Wrestling Omakase Patreon is your best source for coverage of Japanese wrestling, from yesterday and today. We just concluded our daily coverage of the New Japan Cup and it's still all there for you to listen to, if you'd like to go back and re-live each and every night of the tournament. Coming up next for our daily tournament coverage will be the AJPW Champion Carnival in April! And next week, tune in to an exclusive full-length episode, as John and Quinlan play WRESTLEMANIA RETRO ROULETTE! Which six random matches will they get from six random Wrestlemanias?! Plus, you always get instant access to all of our archived content, including our many 1 Match episodes covering everything from Omakase patron requests, Tokyo Dome main events and famous rivalries, our exclusive Retro Roulette & 5 Matches episodes, ANIME OMAKASE, and more! You can get all of this right now for only $5 at http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase

John is joined by returning guest Jeri Evans (@TheJerriest_Jer) as they discuss happy anniversaries and first hockey games in a long time, among other things. Then they unfortunately have to get into the New Japan Cup finals, including most obviously the very controversial angle that closed the show with Will Ospreay and Bea Priestley. John and Jeri do their best to explain just why that angle left such a bad taste in their mouths and why it just didn't work for them at all. Stop making such shitty decisions New Japan! The two of them also discuss the Ospreay vs. Shingo NJC finals that was completely overshadowed by the boneheaded angle, as well as the rest of an otherwise very sleepy card from Sendai.

Then they turn their attention to NOAH and their 3/21 NOAH the INFINITY Korakuen Hall show. They discuss an awesome main event as Iron Head Fujita delivers yet again, a good junior tag title match, and another mostly sleepy undercard. They also look ahead to upcoming shows in April from Korakuen and Nagoya.

Finally, John & Jeri wrap things up with a review of AJPW's 3/21 Dream Power Series show from Kyoto KBS Hall. After a few quick thoughts about the famous building and its giant mural, the two of them break down a lackluster Suwama vs. Yoshitatsu Triple Crown title match and yet another sleepy undercard. They wrap things up with a look at next Sunday's tour-ender from Saitama, as well as the opening night of the upcoming Champion Carnival.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we talk a trio of shows from New Japan, All Japan and DDT!

The Wrestling Omakase Patreon is your best source for coverage of Japanese wrestling, from yesterday and today. Going on right now is our exclusive daily coverage of the New Japan Cup, as John is up on the Patreon each and every day breaking down all the tournament matches! Follow along with our in-depth match breakdowns and reviews, pick 'em updates on what people predicted beforehand versus what actually happened, plus notes from the undercards that you're probably skipping! Plus, you always get instant access to all of our archived content, including our many 1 Match episodes covering everything from Omakase patron requests, Tokyo Dome main events and famous rivalries, our exclusive Retro Roulette & 5 Matches episodes, ANIME OMAKASE, and more! You can get all of this right now for only $5 at http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase

John is joined by returning guest TJ (@aspir_) from the One Wrestling Podcast as they start off by discussing Night 9 of the New Japan Cup. They break down the Tanahashi vs. Jay White main event (and why White kind of feels stuck in neutral at the moment), YOSHI-HASHI vs. David Finlay in the other tournament match, give an update on the current Omakase NJC pick 'ems, and talk a little bit about everything going on in NJPW in general at the moment.

Then the two of them head over to All Japan to discuss an eventful time for the company, breaking down their March 14th Dream Power Series Korakuen with a lot of talk about the new heel unit Total Eclipse. John and TJ discuss whether or not the Jake Lee/Shotaro Ashino double turn is working so far and what they think of the big new unit. Plus, they review an awesome tag team title main event and talk about Yuma Aoyagi's continued ascent.

Finally, they wrap things up with DDT's Day Dream Believer Korakuen from the same day, March 14th. They offer effusive praise for Yuki Ueno vs. Yusuke Okada (and Ueno in general), discuss two title changes, and look ahead to DDT's second Korakuen of the month in a few weeks.

(NOTE: We are aware of a slight audio sync issue that has happened on the last few episodes, including this one. I tried to make a slight adjustment before recording and it actually seemed to cost us a couple bits of TJ's audio, which is why there's a couple awkward transitions early on, but unfortunately it didn't quite solve the problem. We'll be moving to a new recording method next week that should hopefully solve it, and we apologize again for the recent issues. It's definitely still listenable but it makes it sound like I'm talking over the end of everything my guest is saying, which isn't ideal and why I hope to have it fixed next week!)

The conclusion of the Rewind and Rewatch Dragon Gate USA series is upon us with Mercury Rising 2014, from the McAllister Auditorium on the campus of Tulane University in New Orleans on 4/5/2014.

Then it’s time to finish out Dragon Gate USA’s existence with Mercury Rising 2014 with a six-man tag tournament featuring teams such as The Premiere Athlete Brand, Ricochet, Rich Swann & AR Fox, Chris Hero, Masato Tanaka & Roderick Strong, and others. As well, Johnny Gargano faces off with Low-Ki, the Shine Championship is on the line, and a special post-show match of Bad Influences of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian vs the Bravado Brothers, which is the final Dragon Gate USA match ever.
