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.

It’s Golden Week so it’s time for Dragongate’s annual big show in Nagoya, now under a new name as Golden Colosseum, and Open The Voice Gate is back to talk all about it. They discuss the result of the Steel Cage Warfare 6-Way Match and where they expect the participants to go from Psypatra vs Gajadokuro, as well as Dragongate’s best match in a while, Jacky Kamei & Riiita vs Susumu Yokosuka & KAGETORA and everything else from 4/26’s show. Then to close out the show, they follow up on Magnum TOKYO situation and DIA on the heels of the post-Golden Colosseum press releases!

John is back on the air with Paul from the Emerald Flowshow for an absolutely jam packed episode! First, it's a long and detailed review of STARDOM's biggest show of the year, All Star Grand Queendom, which for the second year in a row did their biggest attendance in company history at the Yokohama Arena! They break down each and every match, all the major title changes and where things might be going heading into May, and a whole lot more! Then it's over to NJPW for Redzone in Hiroshima featuring two title matches, as well as a look ahead at next week's Wrestling Dontaku shows from Fukuoka. And the big shows aren't done yet, as we talk Dragongate trying to bounce back from a rough start to their year with Golden Colosseum from Nagoya, including the big six-way cage match that featured a unit disbanding.

After that it's over to the land of All Japan for continuing coverage of the Champion Carnival tournament, covering nights 4 through 6 (4/23, 4/25 & 4/26). John and Paul break down why this tournament has been quite a bit better than last year's and review every tournament match. Finally, they wrap things up with Marigold's 4/25 Korakuen which featured a truly shocking announcement at the end of the show, but was a pretty damn good little show before that too! A fun show packed to the brim with pre-Golden Week festivities!

Mike & JD dive deep into the latest round of WWE Cuts, answering who should land where and why. Will AEW bring back Malakai Black? The future of the Motor City Machine Guns, plus HHH re-signs, and the boys jump into the debate of where Hulk Hogan stands as the most important wrestler of all time.

A transitional champion in wrestling is one that only holds the title for a short amount of time before they drop it to someone else. Typically it's a way to get the belt from one wrestler to another without them wrestling each other, or in cases where the title win is the most important part of the story as opposed to the actual reign itself. On this episode, Andrew and first-time guest Anthony Puhl (a.k.a. foolinc from the VOW Discord) look at bands who have had transitional bandmates, so to speak, where certain members are only in the group for a short amount of time. Artists played include The Clash, Thin Lizzy, Blink-182, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode, The Moody Blues, and many more. These band members are here for a good time, not a long time, so listen and enjoy!
