Episode 37 is here pals! It's our Chris Things Art "Match of the Week" Edition w/ my dear friend (& fellow American Dragon aficionado), Bradley, talking the INCREDIBLE Bryan Danielson vs Shingo bout - not from this past week, but 14 years ago in Dragon Gate USA! So here's the deal, we watched the DGUSA edition as a primer for the big AEW rematch & for a variety of reasons (as we discuss), the Forbidden Door edition just couldn't reach the lofty heights of the original. So this ended up a more 'compare & contrast' look at both. Still two VERY fine professional wrestling matches might I say! Hopefully this is an interesting listen for anyone who's caught both of these matches. Chock full of glowing praise for 2 of the very best wrasslers still to this day in the American Dragon & Shingo Takagi! We also have some amusing nonsense sidebars such as a look at Ring of Honor's tin guardrails of death (that I'm still very fond of) & Robert Rodiriguez' Mariachi Trilogy.In my intro "Latest in the world of Chris Things" segment, I talk being very excited for the upcoming Forge Forward Mini Mall Art-Market here in Brisbane, some fun commission work & some more of my Way of the Blade illustration flashbacks - including the very first illustration that I did for the book!Enjoy!!Check out the Chris Things MOTW illustration in question here: American Dragon vs. Shingo TakagiChrisThings.com.au is the place for original art, prints, calendars & much more!Follow us on Instagram: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexFollow us on Twitter: @ChrisThings, @SocialSuplexLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SocialSuplex/Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/QUaJfaCVisit our website for news, columns, and podcasts: https://socialsuplex.com/Join the Social Suplex community Facebook Group: The Wrestling (Squared) CircleWrestling-Art with Chris Things is the Pro-Wrestling Art niche Podcast of the Social Suplex Podcast Network.

Lee's relationship arc with CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Kane as the portrayal of women in the promotion was approaching a turning point but still far from getting there.…and much more.Colby was great in the ROH section, and the rest of the show was fun as hell, too, so don't miss out!!!!Timestamps:0:00:00 ROH1:43:13 TNA2:27:17 Int'l: NJPW, NOAH, DDT, Dragon Gate, AAA, & CMLL2:40:19 Classic Commercial Break2:43:51 Halftime-ish Dark Side of the Ring review3:05:10 Other USA: Chikara, 2CW, CZW, IWC, DGUSA, Hall & Nash, & Ric Flair3:28:50 WWE NXT4:07:22 WWETo support the show and get access to exclusive rewards like special members-only monthly themed shows, go to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/BetweenTheSheets and become an ongoing Patron.

With that done, Case and Mike review “Chasing the Dragon,” a DVD-only release that features a first time Captains Fall six-man tag match as Ricochet leads his Blood Warriors teammates CIMA & Akira Tozawa versus PAC and his team of “best high flyers” of Rich Swann & AR Fox. As well, this show has the debut of Uhaa Nation, a very weird Fray match, YAMATO & Masato Yoshino vs Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano, and Naruki Doi vs Sami Callihan!

A lot of insight in this interview as well as some details about the Nov triple shot. This is one you do not want to miss.

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 DGUSA's two year anniversary! Before ending the anniversary weekend with "DGUSA Enter the Dragon 2011 - Second Anniversary Celebration," Case and Mike talk about the big events of May and June 2011 including Jon Moxley reporting to FCW, and how indicative his class at WWE's developmental was of the times, EVOLVE's first-ever Style Battle, Akira Tozawa's final weekend in PWG, and perhaps two separate events that most drastically changed the wrestling landscape of the 2010s with nearly a decade of hindsight: New Japan's first-ever USA tour that crowns the first IWGP Intercontinental Champion and Ring of Honor is bought by Sinclair Broadcast Group. After that timeline, It's time to celebrate DGUSA's 2nd Anniversary at B.B. King's Blues Bar and Grill in New York City on 6/5/2011! YAMATO defends his Open the Freedom Gate Championship is the main event of the anniversary show that also has a Ronin & X vs Blood Warriors Elimination Six-Man Tag Match, D.U.F. finally face off against Masaaki Mochizuki & Susumu Yokosuka, and a Nine Way Fray match!

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. The Second Anniversary has us roll into the NYWC Sportatorium for “Uprising 2011” on 6/4/2011, but before that, Case and Mike have to dip into Japan to catch everyone up to speed on what's happening in Dragon Gate. It's Dead or Alive and King of Gate time for DG in 2011, with a ton of turns and formations as are in the first days of the then named “Mochizuki Army” that will very soon become Junction Three and there's a TON to cover to get to Second Anniversary Weekend. With that done, Case and Mike review “Uprising 2011,” an underwhelming affair that officially concluded Akira Tozawa's excursion and the last show before “Enter the Dragon 2011.” Highlights of the show include A.R. Fox's first big singles match in DGUSA against Akira Tozawa and a special three way freestyle match between the three best flyers at that poin in the Dragon System, PAC vs Ricochet vs Rich Swann!

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 2nd Anniversary triple-shot weekend, and it kicks off on 6/3/2011 in Revere, Massachusetts at the Wonderland Ballroom with Fearless 2011. Before the show, we step into the timeline to talk about the DGUSA events post-Wrestlemania 2011 leading up to this weekend of shows. A note on Larry Sweeney, Jimmy Jacobs' sudden departure, Chuck Taylor's injury, and DGUSA dealing with the unit shakeup in Japan are the big moments from April into June of 2011. After that, Case and Mike discuss an incredibly uneven Fearless 2011 that has both of them wondering if the famed DGUSA slide is beginning. Featuring the return of Masaaki Mochizuki, they reflect highly on his return, a Susumu Yokosuka and Ricochet match that would foreshadow matches to come, and an United Gate main event with the now Former World-1 teammates of Masato Yoshino and PAC defending against former Kamikaze USA in YAMATO and Akira Tozawa. The gang also wonders if this is one of the worst venues in DGUSA history, a lot of DUF, and a ridiculously long Austin Aries vs Johnny Gargano match.

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 is time to close out Wrestlemania Weekend 2011 with Open the Ultimate Gate 2011 from Atlanta's Presidental Ballroom on 4/3/2011. After a short timeline to catch everyone up to speed and to see how much Mike remembers of this Wrestlemania, the pair sit down and review the final show in Jon Moxley's run in DGUSA! It's a big era shifting show as on Ultimate Gate 2011 we see the debut of D.U.F. as a team, the supposed final show of Austin Aries in DGUSA, an United Gate match with two divergent opinions, and a very impromptu double main event, where if Akira Tozawa defeats Moxley in a No DQ match, his scheduled match against YAMATO becomes for the Open the Freedom Gate! Case and Mike round out the show talking about the tenure of Jon Moxley in DGUSA, did DGUSA make the wrong decision with the Freedom Gate, the treatment of Ronin over Mania Weekend 2011 and a lot more.

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 is finally in Atlanta, and it's time for their second Wrestlemania Weekend! To help us out in reviewing the first ever WWNLive iPPV, friend of the show Joey Bay (https://twitter.com/joey_bay) stops by to talk about how it was like watching Mercury Rising 2011 from Atlanta's Presidental Ballroom on 4/2/2011 in person, and what it's like watching back over this show! PAC defends the Open the Brave Gate Title against Akira Tozawa in this show that also features the Open the Freedom Gate defense of YAMATO vs Austin Aries, who is threatening to leave the promotion if he loses. The DG Six-Man Tag is back for 2011 as this year's edition is Blood Warriors of CIMA, Ricochet and Naruki Doi versus the first all American team of Ronin consisting on Johnny Gargano, Rich Swann and Chuck Taylor! It's a weird Mania show, but it's a fun one to recount!

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!
