  • The Reiwa Generation Wrong Boys

    Two incredibly knowledgeable and passionate workhorses for hosts, Case and Mike add an incredibly detailed sports report style of analysis to Dragon Gate. Though niche, if you have even a passing interest in the promotion this is the first step in opening the gate for English speaking fans. Even outside of Dragon Gate, the Jae episodes are extremely insightful for English speakers looking into the Japanese scene. Their DGUSA episodes are also very fun for anyone with a nostalgia itch for the 201... more

  • Outstanding coverage of an under-covered promotion

    This podcast is second to none when it comes to English-speaking Dragongate coverage. Mike and Case have a wealth of knowledge, and do a great job of conveying this when discussing the latest DG events, as well as retro content. The podcast is a great companion for any English-speaking Dragongate fan, and really helps me in following the product.

  • Open the listen Gate

    Two hosts that are extremely knowledgeable over all things Dragongate. Their passion for the promotion is very clear, and their format for the shows flow very well. If you are looking to get into Dragongate, they're aren't many podcasts out there that do it any better. It's Red Leaf Retrocast 2, and OTVG as a clear number 1.
