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.

It’s the biggest show of DGUSA’s 2011 Midwest Weekend, as the company returns to the Congress Theater in Chicago, IL on 9/10/2011 for “Untouchable 2011!” Before we get into the show review, a ton of stuff has been happening in Japan that we need to catch up on.

Although it was talked about last week on Rewind and Rewatch, Case and Mike talk a bit about the 6/8/2011 Korakuen that launched Dragon Gate Japan’s huge summer. From there, they discuss Kobe World Pro Wrestling Festival 2011, perhaps the greatest Kobe World of all-time, Summer Adventure Tag league 2011 aka the Hulk+Akira show, and the return of the Masaaki Mochizuki produce shows “Buyuden!”

After that, it’s time for the penultimate DGUSA Chicago show with a main event Open the Freedom Gate match with YAMATO defending against CIMA, Akira Tozawa versus Johnny Gargano, and a four-way freestyle with the winner making any match they want with Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Chuck Taylor and Sami Callihan. Also Sabu makes his DGUSA debut, which was something that happened in 2012.

The show review starts at 00:39:18

Weekend shows will be covered here on the free feed, but John will bring even more daily coverage of the weekday shows exclusive to the Patreon, including with returning guests too! It will kick off this coming week with Patreon-exclusive coverage of AJPW Champion Carnival Night 3 on Tuesday 9/15 and the opening night of the NOAH N-1 Victory on Friday 9/18, and will continue the following week with exclusive NJPW G1 Climax coverage as well!

Once again you can check it all out for only $5 at www.patreon.com/wrestlingomakase!

John is joined by returning guest Gerard Di Trolio (@GerardDiTrolio) as we tackle all the major tournaments going on at once in men's puro! We start out with an extensive preview of the 30th edition of NJPW's G1 Climax: first, we break down all twenty participants in both blocks and if we think they have any chance to advance to the final or win the entire tournament. There's at least one wrestler here I think a lot of English-language podcasts are missing the boat on, and we discuss it in detail. Then we break down the cards for all 18 tournament shows and each give a most anticipated match of the night, and at least a few of the picks might surprise you.

Once we're done with that we turn our attention to the AJPW Champion Carnival, which got underway this past weekend. Gerard and John discuss a surprisingly underwhelming opening two nights of the tournament, although they don't quite agree on HOW underwhelming. We break down all the tournament matches in detail and talk a little about the undercard tags as well. We wrap up that segment with a look ahead to night 3 on Tuesday featuring a big Kento-Ashino showdown. Finally, we wrap up the show with a short preview of the NOAH N-1 Victory, as we break down the wrestlers in each block and who has the best chance of winning, plus talk about a few matches we're excited for. We then look ahead to their opening night on Friday 9/18, previewing the four tournament matches. It's a packed show full of tournament action, this week!
