Aaron and Taylor dive deep into Stardom’s shows on 7/17, 7/23, 7/24, and 7/26, including discussing Giulia as a singles match wrestler and whether Stardom has waited too long to ever pull the trigger on a big Jungle Kyona victory!

After looking at the 5* GP entrants, Aaron & Taylor move on to reviewing SEAdLINNNG’s 7/13 Korakuen show that featured a Beyond the Sea Title change!

Then, they discuss ChocoPro 33-35, Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 7/23 Korakuen show, and take an early look at the Princess Cup brackets!

To close, they cover recent shows from Oz Academy, WAVE, DIANA, Ice Ribbon, and Pure-J, then preview upcoming shows from Sendai Girls, Ice Ribbon, GakePro, DIANA, and Actwres Girl’z!

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 almost Wrestlemania 2011 time, but before DGUSA hit Atlanta, they make a stop in Mike Spears territory in Burlington, NC at the Mid-Atlantic Sportatorium on 4/1/2011 for “Open the Southern Gate!”

Before Case and Mike get into the first show of the Mania Weekend Triple Shot, they take a look at a very impactful March in the Dragon System. Ronin finally gets to go to Japan! Gabe announces both a Stable Shootout and a Breakout Challenge for “Open the Southern Gate.” Dragon Gate is gearing up for their 2011 Sumo Hall show before the earthquake and tsunami of 3/11/2011 hits Japan and changes everything. Case and Mike take you through the reporting from when it happened, including accounts from wrestlers in Japan during one of the most devastating disasters in recent history, and how it changed Dragon Gate both in 2011 and forever.

After that, they get into “Open the Southern Gate” with one of Mike’s least favorite matches in DGUSA history, the perplexing way Jon Moxley’s last weekend in DGUSA began, and the Stable Shootout and Breakout Challenge main evented by the Dream Partners match of Ricochet and PAC facing Chuck Taylor and Akira Tozawa!

The show review starts at 00:49:08.

This week on Wrestling Omakase we talk three different Korakuen Hall shows from three different promotions, more on EVIL as champion so far, we set the table for the Sengoku Lord main event and we discuss a possible return to Japan by......*thunderclap* The Gamer.

Wrestling Omakase now has a Patreon. Head to http://patreon.com/wrestlingomakase where you can listen now to four exclusive 5 Matches episodes that you can't find on the free feed, plus our first episode in our new series covering every Naito-Ishii match in chronological order, all 14 episodes in our recently completed series doing the same for Okada-Tanahashi, 4 episodes of Anime Omakase, and more. Plus, Saturday night John and former Omakase guest Quinlan will be bringing you a same day reaction show to NJPW Sengoku Lord, exclusively for patrons! The only way you'll be able to hear John's thoughts on EVIL-Hiromu, Shingo-Desperado and anything else from Sengoku Lord is by signing up and checking out that episode. You can get access to all of our bonus audio for only $5 per month, so sign up today!

John is joined by returning guest Hayley (@choerrycoloured) as they start by talking how hard an anime con season without any anime cons is for both of them. They quickly move on to the wrestling shows they're here to talk about, namely three Korakuen events, starting with NJPW's New Japan Road show from Monday (7/20). This involves obviously more EVIL discussion, plus a lot of El Desperado praise and a LOT of Master Wato talk. Seriously, a whole lotta Wato. Much of it might be hard to make out due to our combined laughter but we're sorry. We also do a quick preview of the top 3 of Sengoku Lord and where we think NJPW is going from here.

Then we move over to the world of DDT and Tokyo Joshi for the first time in a long time, talking their Korakuen double-header from Thursday 7/23. On the Tokyo Joshi side we discuss Yuki Aino's big main event shot against Yuka Sakazaki, a spirited battle with Mina Shirakawa and Yuki Kamifuku and a whole lot more. We then talk DDT's Summer Vacation, talking how great Jun Akiyama in DDT is going so far, an awesome main event with Tetsuya Endo and Yuki Ueno, and some comedy that didn't quite land. Finally we wrap things up with a few of your questions, including: who will unseat EVIL, who will win the Tokyo Joshi Princess Cup and who will win King of DDT. Will Endo succeed in bringing the dreaded Gamer himself, Kenneth James Omega (NOTE: I have no idea if that's actually his middle name, it just sounds funny), back to DDT? Will the immigration authorities stop him? Will HAROLD intervene yet again?!
