On this very special episode of Open the Voice Gate - Rewind and Rewatch, Case and Mike are joined by Alan4L (https://twitter.com/alan4l) to talk all about Open the Ultimate Gate 2012 from The Deauville Resort in Miami Beach on 3/30/2012, a show that both Alan and Mike were at attendance at! Before getting into the show review itself, they talk all about Alan’s first American trip, Wrestlemania Weekend 2012, Alan’s ham sandwich and dearly departed University of Miami hat.

Then the three get into Ultimate Gate 2012 headlined by a match for the vacated Open the United Gate championship between the World-1 International team of Masato Yoshino & Ricochet versus Johnny Gargano & Chuck Taylor of Ronin. Akira Tozawa facing Masaaki Mochizuki and the first time ever match of PAC vs Low-Ki highlight a show that ends up with Alan, Case and Mike talking about OTHER events that happened over Mania Weekend 2012, several big conversations with Low-Ki, Flamita’s obsession with Pizza and why Dragon System members should avoid offers from AAA to become Octagon, Jr. A blast of an episode!

This week on Wrestling Omakase we introduce a brand new retro concept for us as we take a completely randomized look back at WCW Halloween Havoc through the years!

The Wrestling Omakase Patreon brought you coverage of all three major tournaments this fall: the G1 Climax, the AJPW Champion Carnival and the NOAH N-1 Victory. We'll be right back at it again in November & December with three MORE tournaments: the NJPW Best of the Super Juniors & World Tag League, and the DDT D-ou. The only way to hear all of our daily coverage will be to subscribe! Plus, you'll get to hear our exclusive full length episodes like a great 5 Matches episode we did last week with Mike Spears (EE/OTVG), all of our 1 Match episodes covering everything from major NJPW feuds to 90s joshi to deathmatches to WAR and much more, ANIME OMAKASE, etc. You can get access to all of this and more right now for only $5 at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase!

John is joined by returning guest & VOW contributor Gerard Di Trolio (@GerardDiTrolio) for the start of a new episode format: Retro Roulette! Instead of just picking five old matches ourselves like we do on the 5 Matches episodes, in this case we've come up with a theme (WCW Halloween Havoc PPVs, for obvious reasons) and then let the randomizer gods choose six random shows, and then one random match from 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:

1993- Texas Death (Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal): Cactus Jack vs. Big Van Vader

1994- Vader vs. The Guardian Angel

1995- Meng vs. Lex Luger

1996- Jeff Jarrett vs. The Giant

1998- US Title: Bret Hart vs. Sting

1999- Eddie Guerrero vs. Perry Saturn

Topics that come up along the way include: DID WCW EVER BOOK A SINGLE CLEAN FINISH IN ITS HITSORY, Tony Schiavone eats some kids, sometimes old stuff doesn't really hold up, adventures in ripping off the Big Bossman while trying not to get sued, THE MONSTER MENG just gets his ass kicked, why were these WCW 1995 storylines so convoluted and confusing, the awesome nWo set-up at Halloween Havoc '96 and how it really made that storyline work right off the bat, Jarrett sticks and moves against Giant, our only big disagreement on match quality, don't watch Bret Hart vs. Sting based on those two names and expect it to be good, Bret won't wear the nWo shirt (and also won't try), Sting knocks himself unconscious, WCW crowds in 1999 sure hated mat wrestling, Eddie and Saturn were both pretty great, and a whole lot more.

Support Wrestling Omakase with a donation through Red Circle! All donations are split with that week's guest. We really appreciate it!

WWE reported Q3 2020 earnings on Thursday. The first nine months of 2020 are already more profitable than any full year in company history.

Hear the audio from call with comments from WWE executives themselves, along with Brandon Thurston explaining and breaking down the numbers and the jargon.

New president and chief revenue officer Nick Khan made his debut on the call. This was also the first earnings call appearance for new chief financial officer Kristina Salen. Stephanie McMahon made a more prominent role than ever. And Vince McMahon has never felt more optimistic than now.

What's the future of WWE's media rights value? Will the FAANG companies get involved in live sports rights bidding someday?
