PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO BOOKMARK US & VISIT US DAILY
VIP-exclusive Torch Daily Blitz 7/24: In episode 63 of the Torch Daily Blitz, DRAGON GATE USA week continues on the Blitz as we are counting down the days until the company's debut show, "Open the Historic Gate" this Saturday in Philadelphia. On this show, it's Friday and that means it is time for everyone's favorite Doctor, Keith Lipinski! Derek and Keith go back to WrestleMania weekend of last year, when the good Doctor made the trip down to Orlando and had a glorious weekend of wrestling with Derek. There is discussion about a famous Smokey Bones meet, the Epic Encounter between Burgan and his arch nemesis the Green Lantern Fan, Keith building a gigantic totem pole out of hotel pillows in order to pray to the Hindu god of sleep, and – oh, yeah – talk about one of the all time greatest cards in Ring of Honor history featuring many of the workers who will be in Philly this weekend for DGUSA's premier show. Did the main event six man actually top the first Dragon Gate six man Derek and Keith saw in-person two years earlier? How great of a team is BXB Hulk and Shingo and exactly how unbelievable was their match against Kevin Steen and El Generico? All these questions and many, MANY more are answered in the Torch's most fun audio show of the week: Blitz Friday's with Dr. Keith! As always, questions, comments, and suggestions for the Torch Daily Blitz can be sent to TORCHDB@gmail.com.
