Ditch posted:C'mon dude the Backseats were in all those four-star matches, like... um... Don't get me wrong, if I have to sit through A PWU match (1, that's it) for some sweet, sweet DGate live action, I'll do it, but if its just like CIMA, Shingo, and Don Fuji, plus PWU's "talent", I'm not so sure I'd be game.

Ditch posted:Oh and PWU works hand-in-hand with RF. Actually, the PWU/RF relationship ended when Pedoboy started PW Elite...PWU's now aligned with Smart Mark Video (and has input from Mike Burns), but that hasn't necessarily helped with their shows. I know the fed's off in that period, but from what Jae at DGUSA said, it looked like Dragon Gate was going to be BxB Hulk, CIMA, Shingo, Fuji, Evans, and Sydal...I'd love to be wrong, though.

Ditch posted:http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/articles/49179 gently caress my balls, that match will be nutty. I hope Takayama goes full time, if just for a rematch with KENTA. Is NOAH still doing a dome show this year? And I just realized, reading the top post on this page, that you're behind the AJPW/NOAH archives. Thanks for that, man. Allowed me to catch some AJPW stuff I didn't have on DVD.

Ditch posted:No Dome show this year, they just don't have anything big enough for it. Hot drat, ah well, no big loss. Just one less show to buy this year. I was thinking they might do a big show at the Dome where the next gen (KENTA, Marufuji, Morishima) finally gets to succeed over the old guard, but that's kinda the general theme of the booking this year (or so it seems), so I guess they'd rather spread that out, versus all on one show.

Any idea of this change had a result on business for NOAH? I figure between that and KENTA/Marufuji's excursions, there would be a problem drawing. And hey, KM.

Ditch posted:Update on the above: Gabe has agreed to an interview! So gimme some puro-related questions to throw his way. Will DGUSA attempt to build a working relationship with the talent from NOAH (or other companies), to give us multi promotional matches like those seen at the Ring of Honor Japan shows?

From today's Observer...quote:Seven wrestlers from CHIKARA Pro, Fire Ant, Soldier Ant, Crossbones, Chuck Taylor, Ultramantis Black, Shane Matthews and Jagged, will be appearing for Big Japan from 6/9 to 6/14. Guess the rumors were wrong on some of the names (Kingston, Quack, etc.)

All that's important at this point is that the Dragon Gate offices are planning on issuing an official statement. I think we can hold off the pitchforks and torches until then, yes?

Wazzu posted:So what do you think the CIMA- doi title vs title match will end in? If there's any justice, Doi goes over clean, new main event ace is made. Realistically, CIMA goes over, then beats up every member of World 1 himself.

I mean, I get the 'squared circle' gag for the logo, but it's 1000% 'We're Now Owned By A Web Company So We Must Look Like We Provide a SaaS Service'. And the loss of the Emerald Green is a loving shame. EDIT: It looks WAY better in the context of a promo image.

I saw some coverage of the NOAH relaunch show and it sounded interesting, especially the main. Any idea when it’s airing/where to watch?

I'm just glad that DDT gave us the match we wanted during every single one of those WCW Nitro Spring Break shows.

NotQuiteQuentin posted:probably a legal thing. Makes sense. I am indeed happy to see the TMon lineage get totally absorbed. My hope of hopes (as someone who used to have every episode of Vamos Amigos on VHS), is that this further embrace of the Toryumon-era this year results in a massive dumping of older content on the Dragon Gate Network, but I'm just gonna assume we'll keep seeing 1-2 99-00-era events uploaded per month.

Dimebags Brain posted:Mildly warm take: Dragon Gate's 2020 class are the best rookies in the world and it's not even particularly close. Second. Dragon Gate continuing to overdeliver under the radar. If their streaming site weren’t so expensive/weird, I think they’d blow up in the US again.
