This month we venture to 1999 and 2010, the turning points of two decades and two extremely different shows. In a rare sight, a WWF &#8220;C show&#8221; takes place in front of over 40,000 fans as we tackle the Shotgun episode taped at Toronto&#8217;s Skydome, which aired the night before the St. Valentines Day Massacre PPV. It provided a really interesting window into &#8220;Attitude Era&#8221; WWF, the work ethic of certain wrestlers, the house style, and more. Our second spotlight is on the world of Dragongate and, in particular, a Korakuen classic pitting CIMA against YAMATO. Fifteen years before his current run as Open The Dream Gate champ, YAMATO was just months away from his first reign with that belt when he tested his mettle against DG&#8217;s icon.
