VIP-exclusive Torch Daily Blitz 7/21: In episode 60 of the Torch Daily Blitz, Burgan is joined by PWChronicle.com's Brian Streleckis to continue DRAGON GATE USA week. The two men talk Ring of Honor: All Star Extravaganza III which featured many of the wrestlers who will be appearing this Saturday in DGUSA's debut show in Philly. Naruki Doi, Shingo, Dragon Kid, Yoshino, and YAMATO can all be seen in action. An amazing card from top to bottom that also includes a must see match between Roderick Strong against Jack Evans (fresh from his stint in Dragon Gate.) Burgan and Streleckis talk about the event, which also included a nice little match between uber heel Davey Richards and Dragon Gate's Masaaki Mochizuki and a spectacular eight man tag team main event that pitted an all star team of ROH regulars against a four man squad from Dragon Gate. Streleckis than talks about preparing to go to this Saturday's show in Philly from a perspective of someone who has been to all the major wrestling shows in the area. How will DGUSA hold up against ROH, CHIKARA, CZW and the others? Are the general admission tickets actually collector's items? How excited can a local fan who has truly seen it all be towards this new promotion? Those questions and many more are answered in this edition of the Blitz! As always, questions, comments, and suggestions for the Torch Daily Blitz can be sent to TORCHDB@gmail.com.
