Open The Voice Gate - Gran Hamada & Hakata

Welcome back to Open The Voice Gate! Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are back with an update on the comings and goings of Dragongate.

Open The Voice Gate opens up this week talking about the passing of Gran Hamada. They discuss Case’s excellent biography, the singular nature of Hamada’s life, his history dating to the JWA days, his inspiration, and both Mike and Case bring a Hamada match they wanted to talk about in light of his passing.

After that, it’s back to Dragongate after the first Acros Fukuoka (2/11) shows of the year, 30 Under 30, and previewing a fun looking Memorial Gate in Wakayama Card (2/24!)
