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 topic for this weekly update is the peculiar 2/5 Korakuen Hall show. Case and Mike breakdown the formation of the unnamed YAMATO & Dragon Kid unit, talk about the weird main event, Kzy and Natural Vibes 2.0, a moment for La Estrella, King of the Hill and Yoga and a whole lot more!

On this episode of Music of the Mat, Andrew is joined by Stephanie Chase (Digital Spy, WrestleTalk TV, GRAPPL Spotlight) as they discuss some of wrestling's most romantic--and in some cases sexy--themes. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's the perfect time to take a look at some of the songs of love (and lust) that have been used in wrestling, as well as wrestling's inclusion of romance and love in general. Themes include "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry, Billy & Chuck, "Mr. Rated R" Yujiro Takahashi, Mike & Maria Kanellis, and Alex Wright's delightful "Heartbeat Away."

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. 

DGUSA’s penultimate NYC weekend begins with Fearless 2013 from the Elks Lodges in Queens, NY on 11/16/2013!

Before getting into today’s episode, Case and Mike talk about the big events leading up to DGUSA’s conclusion to 2013 including the Young Bucks’ moves to both Ring of Honor and New Japan, Evolve 23 & 24, and the amount of card reshuffles leading into this weekend.

Case and Mike then talk about Fearless 2013, a very VERY weird show in DGUSA’s history headlined by The Young Bucks defending the Open the United Gate titles against the Bravado Brothers, a non-title match between Masaaki Mochizuki and Johnny Gargano, and the breakout of Anthony Nese continuing against the workhorse of the Dragon System, Jimmy Susumu. As well they play “who’s this wrestler” with Steven Walters!

The show review starts at 00:30:53.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we take a completely randomized look back at WCW's annual February extravaganza, SuperBrawl, on our second ever Retro Roulette episode!

The Wrestling Omakase Patreon is your best source for coverage of Japanese wrestling, from yesterday and today. Patrons get so much bonus audio that never hits the free feed, most notably two full length exclusive episodes per month. Our next episode will feature our 5 Matches format with debuting guest WH Park from Post Wrestling, as he and I will cover some awesome stuff from Japan spanning 4 different decades. Plus, you get shorter and yet still jampacked 1 Match episodes, currently covering matches submitted by Omakase patrons (spanning a wide range already in week 1- a BattlArts classic shoot-style match from 2000 and a DDT cinematic match featuring Yoshihiko from 2020!), ANIME OMAKASE, daily coverage of all the major Japanese tournaments (soon to include the New Japan Cup!), and so much more! You can get access to all of this and much more right now for only $5 at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase!

John is joined by first time guest & VOW contributor Matt Francist (@archivingmatt), an old school WCW fan dating back to the early 90s which makes him the perfect guest for this episode! If you missed our prior Retro Roulette episode from October (that time covering Halloween Havoc), it's sort of a different spin on the 5 Matches format- instead of just picking five old matches ourselves, in this case we've come up with a theme (WCW SuperBrawl PPVs) and then let the randomizer gods choose six random shows, and then one random match on each of those shows. Here's what we ended up with. All can of course be found on the WWE Network, along with many other illicit places I'm sure:

1991- Dan Spivey vs. Ricky Morton

1992- Marcus Alexander Bagwell vs. The Taylor Made Man

1996- Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage (WCW World Title Steel Cage)

1997- Jeff Jarrett vs. Mongo McMichael

1998- Rick Martel vs. Booker T (WCW World TV Title)

2001- Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire vs. Mark Jindrak & Shawn Stasiak (WCW World Tag Team Titles)

Topics that come up along the way include: boy did the randomizer job us out on some of these shows, brief thoughts of SuperBrawl and some of the weirdness involved with WCW's schedule (and which one was bigger, SuperBrawl vs. Starrcade), Spivey does some movez, Morton months away from turning on his partner for a computer, why couldn't we get Pillman vs. Liger instead of this, did Jesse Ventura just make a joke about Bagwell's apparently legitimate mommy issues, Bobby Heenan has some thoughts on the opposite sex, THE DEADLY EFFECTS OF SHOE VIOLENCE, John and Matt disagree sharply on this 97 match, Debra was completely insane during this match, Rick Martel's sadly aborted major league comeback, the best match we discussed on this show by far, the WCW Heat Machine, a good little tag match to wrap us up, and a whole lot more.
