Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho King, Jesse Ventura, Andre The Giant and more!

Harry and Shane are comparing Toryumon Japan Absoltamente - 9/8/2002 vs.  Dragon Gate - Gate of Destiny 2020 - 11/3/2020.  DragonGate would form out of Toryumon, but Toryumon's biggest show was a show competing against its first offspring: T2P (Toryumon 2000 Project).  In this episode Harry and Shane have a hard time find negatives things to say about these shows as both are great.  But Harry finds a way to have cartoon hate for Shuji Kondo, and Shane hate's all the old guys in Dragon Gate that used to be young guys in Toryumon.  They also talk about Ultimo Dragon's time in WWE, Magnum Tokyo's dance routine, Shane's experiences working for Toryumon, the history of Toryumon and T2P, our love of Jae, Shane's experiences working for Dragon Gate USA, and more!
