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.

Impact Wrestling's Slammiversary comes to you LIVE this Saturday from Ontario, Canada on FITE. With that, Lazy Booking is thrilled to welcome former WWE Cruiserweight champion, Impact X Division Champion, and Impact World Heavyweight Champion Rich Swann to A2D Radio. Rich is one of the most charismatic and beloved figures in professional wrestling today. From his interactive entrance to his flashy dance moves and incredibly high work rate in the ring, Rich has worked all over the world for some of the biggest companies in professional wrestling. We talk to Rich about his early days in professional wrestling, including his influences growing up, as well as his time in companies such as CZW, Dragon Gate USA, Evolve, PWG, WWE, and his current run with Impact Wrestling and discuss his upcoming 4-Way Tag Team Title Match at Slammiversary with his tag team partner Sami Callihan. We also talk to Rich about fatherhood and how that has changed his life. It's an action-packed conversation with the one and only Rich Swann that you won't want to miss!

We are back with part 3 on the multi part series on Dragon Gate USA. We discuss the events from Spring to Fall 2010 including running head to head Mania Weekend against ROH, shows in Canada, and Brian Danielson returning. All this and much more on the last RTI of 2022!

On this episode we continue the multi part series on Dragon Gate USA. We discuss Dragon Gate USA's first show on PPV as well as the next 3 shows including a show on labor day weekend 2009 in Chicago. we also talk Brian Danielson leaving for WWE as well as young stars appearing in the company such as Johnny Gargano, Jon Moxley, Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Mustafa Ali, and much more!!!

On this episode we begin a multi part series on Dragon Gate USA. We discuss Dragon Gate running spot shows in LA and Hawaii, Dragon Gate's relationship with ROH, Gabe Sapolsky leaving ROH, the formation of Dragon Gate USA, the first Dragon Gate USA show and much more!

It's a title vs. title match between the champions of the main two sister promotions of WWNLive, as the Evolve Champion Drew Galloway, in the middle of a reinvention after his unceremonious dumping from the WWE only a few years after being introduced by Vince McMahon himself as a future world champion, against Dragon Gate USA's Open the Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano, a man who had carved a reputation over the previous years as one of the best wrestlers on the indie scene. Together they would both raise in stature and profile in WWE's NXT a few years alter. And many traces of those NXT matches can be found right here in front of a small-ish indie crowd. Lorcan (@lorcanmullan) and Simon (@simoncross3) compare the journeys of both men before and after this match and how certain aspects of the match ring differently today. https://patreon.com/lmtyspod https://twitter.com/lmtyspod https://facebook.com/lmtyspod lmtyspod@gmail.com

Harry and Shane are comparing Toryumon Japan Absoltamente - 9/8/2002 vs.  Dragon Gate - Gate of Destiny 2020 - 11/3/2020.  DragonGate would form out of Toryumon, but Toryumon's biggest show was a show competing against its first offspring: T2P (Toryumon 2000 Project).  In this episode Harry and Shane have a hard time find negatives things to say about these shows as both are great.  But Harry finds a way to have cartoon hate for Shuji Kondo, and Shane hate's all the old guys in Dragon Gate that used to be young guys in Toryumon.  They also talk about Ultimo Dragon's time in WWE, Magnum Tokyo's dance routine, Shane's experiences working for Toryumon, the history of Toryumon and T2P, our love of Jae, Shane's experiences working for Dragon Gate USA, and more!

He is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. He is a man who has competed for CHIKARA, Dragon Gate USA, EVOLVE, CZW, WXW, FIP, IWA:MS, TNA, HOG, as well as countless other wrestling promotions during his near 20 year career. For our purposes here, he was a member of the ROH roster from 2007-2008 and a member of The Vulture Squad alongside Jack Evans, Ruckus, Julius Smokes, and even Mercedes Martinez!He is Jigsaw, and he is our special guest once more on this week's edition of AN HONORABLE MENTION! In part two, we discuss BLKOUT and that missed opportunity as well as the ending of Jig's ROH career in rather quiet fashion. We also discuss how he came to redonning the mask, finding the love for wrestling once more, and just who helped him rediscover that passion.Of course the brief return to ROH alongside Hallowicked had to be talked about, and just what it felt like coming back to the atmosphere four years later. There's a bit more CHIKARA talk, a great Brodie Lee tale, and plenty more in chapter two of our conversation!It's Jigsaw: Chapter Two on this week's AHM, brought to you by OPTIONSTRADEKING.COM, PATREON.COM/ANHONORABLEPOD, and presented on the CREATIVE CONTROL NETWORK family of podcasts!Go to OptionsTradeKing.com for a FREE Trial of the #1 Stock & Options Trading Community and tell them AHM and The Creative Control Network sent you!For information on how to help support the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, visit https://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=2389364.#12LargeForever-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-An Honorable Mention Podcast is hosted by Jeff Schwartz & Shane Hagadorn every Tuesday on the Creative Control Network.OUTLETS:iTUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/an-honorable-mention-with-shane-hagadorn-jeff-schwartz/id1348324250?mt=2TuneIn Radio: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--Recreation-Podcasts/An-Honorable-Mention-p1101966/Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/an-honorable-mention?refid=stprSpreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/show/an-honorable-mention-with-shane-hagadornCastbox: https://www.castbox.fm/channel/id2083202Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/6xh9y-77731/An-Honorable-Mention-with-Shane-Hagadorn--Jeff-Schwartz-PodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6lTHBJI005H8u13KHDo5Rq?si=q9nOYoUFR9uilL1rg8YyjAiHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-an-honorable-mention-w-sha-45911710/ListenNotes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/an-honorable-mention-with-shane-hagadorn-0nVes3d7roi/Podcast Addict: http://podplayer.net/?podld=2360081Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/an-honorable-mention-w-shane-h-625260Jiosaavn: https://www.jiosaavn.com/shows/an-honorable-mention-w-shane-hagadorn--jeff-schwartz/1/1iXfonQNStc_SUPPORT THE SHOW:Patreon.com/AnHonorablePodADVERTISE WITH US:advertisecast.com/anhonorablementionwithshanehagadornjeffanhonorablemention@gmail.comFOLLOW US FOR THE LATEST NEWS & NOTES!Twitter & Instagram- @anhonorablepodTwitter & Instagram - @mrjeffschwartz0Twitter & Instagram - @hagadornshaneAudio by Zach Johnson - @RadioZTanhonorablemention.wixsite.com/mainTwitch.tv/AnHonorablePodFacebook.com/AnHonorablePodYoutube.com/AnHonorableMentionPodcast

He has no doubt called more pay-per-view events by himself than any announcer in pro wrestling history. He has the distinction of being the only man in WWE history to do the same for an event broadcast under their banner. He was one of the definitive voices of Ring of Honor, alongside Dave Prazak, during crucial years from 2005-2009 and got to experience so much history as a result.He is the one and only Lenny Leonard, and he is our guest this week on AN HONORABLE MENTION! From the most random of Full Impact Pro discussions, to talks of calling Match of The Year candidates from a couch in Florida and the wild process of producing ROH DVD’s while working a full-time job, this conversation covers a wide-range. There’s some talk of Dragon Gate USA, some Bloodsport and GCW Spring Break, calling an event on the WWE Network, Joe vs. Kobashi, the Dragon Gate Six Man, and what made the Prazak/Leonard duo special.And of course, we talk about the ongoing Women Division Wednesday for ROH’s YouTube channel as well as thoughts on the Women’s Championship Tournament coming this summer that has brought Lenny back to the fold!Join Jeff and Shane in welcoming the distinguished Lenny Leonard to AN HONORABLE MENTION, brought to you by PATREON.COM/ANHONORABLEPOD, and presented on the CREATIVE CONTROL NETWORK family of podcasts!And be sure to check out Lenny’s weekly radio show with Ron Niemi IN THIS CORNER on Saturday’s at 10:30am on am1150WTMP.com via TuneIn Radio, the WTMP app, or just holler at ALEXA to “Play WTMP”!

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. 2012 in DGUSA begins with “Open the Golden Gate 2012” in Los Angeles at the Westin Airport Hotel on 1/27/2012 and Case and Mike are here to talk all about it! There's some housecleaning that's to be done first as they close out 2011 by talking about the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards for 2011 and their personal top ten matches from DGUSA & the Dragon System in 2011. After that, it's time to go through everything that led up to this 2012 DGUSA kickoff! Blood Warriors and Junction Three's war is coming to a close with a couple of big place setting events right before their Loser Must Disband match. There's this random kid that Ultimo trained that showed up at Wrestle Kingdom to challenge Hiroshi Tanahashi. And what's this thing about a DGUSA/Evolve Merger and saying Farewell to the Arena? After all of that, it's time to review Open the Golden Gate! Low-Ki makes his DGUSA debut against BXB Hulk in the opener and the Young Bucks make their return in LA! Quite possibly one of the only good table matches in history happens as AR Fox renews his rivalry against Sami Callihan and an incredible United Gate match between the Spiked Mohicans and Masaaki Mochizuki & Jimmy Susumu main events DGUSA's west coast premiere! 2012 news begins at 00:22:43 and the show review begins at 00:50:27 this episode.

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 marathon that is DGUSA's 2011 finally comes to a close on this episode with Freedom Fight 2011, from B.B. King's Blues Bar and Grill in Manhattan, New York on 11/13/2011! Before Case and Mike get into the show, they take a look around at how the rest of the wrestling world ended 2011, including Don Fujii in the World Tag League 2011, Final Battle 2011, and Chikara's first iPPV. Then it's time to go to New York for Freedom Fight 2011. Johnny Gargano finally gets his Open the Freedom Gate shot at YAMATO, Akira Tozawa and BXB Hulk bring their tag team to face the Ronin team of Chuck Taylor and Rich Swann, and PAC vs Ricochet's epic feud of 2011 concludes its US leg. None of those main evented this show. Instead an Extreme Warfare match with the D.U.F. going up against AR Fox, Sabu and Jon Davis did. Yeah, we know. Concluding the show, we look at how Dragon Gate Japan concluded their year, with the huge Gate of Destiny and Final Gate 2011 shows. The show review is from 00:17:59 to 01:13:18.

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 back in Milwaukee with Way of the Ronin 2011 on 9/11/2011 from the Miramar Theater with one of the more bizarre entries in the history of Dragon Gate USA. Before getting into the show, Case and Mike talk about other big events happening in the last summer and fall 2011, including the All Together shows in Japan, PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2011, and Ring of Honor's Death Before Dishonor IX. After that, it's time for Way of the Ronin 2011, a show laden with lighting issues, Sabu, microphones not working, awkward scramble matches, and perhaps the most bizarre segment in DGUSA history opening up the iPPV. It's not all absurdity, as event features a huge Title vs Title main event of the Spiked Mohicans of CIMA and Ricochet putting the Open the Twin Gate belts up against the Open the United Gate belts held by Masato Yoshino and PAC, Naruki Doi vs Johnny Gargano & Akira Tozawa vs Jon Davis.

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.
