I hope everybody takes a moment to reflects on themselves, their loved ones, and everyone around them. Remember to tell someone you love them today.Because that's something we don't say enough to each other-Drew

Hi Guys! This is Problematic Dragon, joining Pump and Doc today are American Numbers [State of Wrestling] and Ed Aka Published Bidoof [who you can hear on Southern Fried Wrestlecast]. We go through a lot of stuff in that we compare NJPW, Stardom, and Dragongate as it pertains to booking philosophy. The reason you are here though is to learn about the ins and outs of dragon gate. The current goings on with the company as we do review Gate of Victory, but also we gush about the future of the company. This is a loaded show featuring 4 guys who love Dragongate. We also get kind of deep into self reflection. As always Enjoy!
