Today marks 10 years since I began covering Dragongate for @voiceswrestling. Along the way, I've made a number of great friends, covered a lot of great shows, and enjoyed a lot of DISCOURSE.
Here's a collection of my favorite things that I've written for VOW:

Yoshihiro Asai & Solar I x Gran Hamada & Perro Aguayo. Some absolutely awesome modern & classic lucha libre action from Japan’s hugely influential Universal promotion. (3.10.1991) 🇲🇽🇯🇵

An unbelievably short history between these two. The PWG tag is as good as it looks on paper. A high point of that era.

- Kaito Kiyomiya's career
- The European independent scene & TK's innocence
- His arteries
- Trainees in the NJ dojo in the mid 90s.
Yes, harm inflictors indeed.

In the mid 90’s in Japan. I’m just looking through my “not at work eyes” and that’s a fair old group of harm inflictors.

There’s Shun stuff in here obviously but we went really deep on the current DG booking, what’s working and what’s not, and where they go from here. A top notch episode of OTVG!
New @openvoicegate! 🚨
Open The Voice Gate spends most of this episode discussing the impending & devastating departure of Shun Skywalker from Dragongate.
What it means for DG, where he’s going, what’s next and more.

Is Dragongate doomed? What's going on the with Dream Gate belt? Plus, extended thoughts on Ryoya Tanaka vs. Naruki Doi, which was one of the best things I've seen this year ⬇️

I haven't rewatched this match since it happened and don't plan on watching it anytime soon (maybe for the 10 year anniversary?)
Immediately upon finishing it, I felt like it was the greatest match ever. That feeling has not changed in the last 8 years.

Happy 8th anniversary of Kenny Omega becoming the IWGP Heavyweight Champion by beating Kazuchika Okada at Dominion 2018 in 2 Out of 3 Falls!
The 4th bout in their quadrilogy. The greatest wrestling match to ever happen.
A ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ classic.

Covered this angle and this time period in-depth on this podcast. This kicked off a special era for Toryumon.

Milano Collection A.T. & Anthony W. Mori x YOSSINO & Susumu Yokosuka. When the Toryumon tapes started circulating in the late 90’s, it wasn’t just a progression of the existing lucha/cruiser styles, the pace & complexity was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. (5.23.2004) 🐉📼
