Shingo experiment is back on though. Too bad for Susumu.

Ryo Saito is the next challenger so he's continuing running through the generations.

I kinda wish Jimmyz would just permanently become SUMOZ.

A lot of changes but it's a fair trade - VerserK loses its near-sweep of the undercard titles while regaining the main one. I have to think the Shingo/YAMATO tension is only going to rise after this. When YAMADoi were Twin Gate champs they had a leg to stand on while criticizing Shingo, now they don't. Also I just realized that since they're no longer champs, Doi might side with Shingo if YAMATO leaves VerserK. :ohdear:

Doi should always be heel, and YAMATO feels ready for a face turn.

Yeah, my thoughts on a new unit from earlier in the thread wouldn't have to be adjusted much for that, just without Doi. If it's not that, then I'm wondering now where all the unaffiliated people will land. Dragon Kid's probably joining Over Generation, everyone from Dia.Hearts other than Shimizu has refused Monster Express so far, and Yosuke and U-T still haven't been with anyone since Millennials.

Speaking of which, when was the last time an unaffiliated held a title?

I've discovered that if you GIS "ヴェーーーー" you get a bunch of pictures of Kotoka.

ヴェーーーー is phonetically "beehhhhhhh" in Japanese. Kotoka is now widely associated with that sound.

YamaDoi vs Big T was a failed attempt to go epic, a solid two thirds of the match was just boring. What a damper to end the big twin gate run on.

Susumu and Shingo were game and the rematch was better than their encounter as Hakata Star Lanes. Third best match of Shingo's VerserK run. Crowd seemed to react with total :geno: to the finish though.

I don't think I've seen Saito lock in the Cycling Yahoo in months. He always gets interrupted now, which sucks because it's a great submission.


[edit]Mondai Ryu's new shirt is great.

Same with whatever that thing Kanda is trying to do when he punches a guy and runs into a corner. I don't think I've ever seen him hit that since I started watching. I still have no clue what the end result of that is supposed to be.

I don't know what it is, but Saito has stepped up so much in the charisma department even just in the past year. Saito and Tozawa could have an amazing feud one of these days for the promos alone, even if I don't understand the language.

Tozawa to GCS. Had a feeling this was happening for a while. Keep an eye on the Korakuen show next week; if there is a challenger team for the Triangle Gate that doesn't have chaff on it the writing might be on the wall.

tozawa is about as likely to get pushed in wwe as he is in dragon gate so it's more of a lateral move

I don't blame him for jumping if possible as he seems to lovethe US , has friends in Orlando, and it strikes me that he could probably deal with not really being pushed. :lol: at the idea of Tozawa ever getting a serious World champ shot though and I'm not even sure he'd win the IC.

Tozawa's charismatic as gently caress and WWE likes that. He'll likely sell merch if nothing else.

If he goes to WWE though I'm guessing MX is the next faction to split. They picked up Big R and T-Hawk but Tozawa's really the heart of the group. Maybe Kzy will come around and join them after all.

I feel like they've been building to YAMATO/Doi/Kotoka since YAMADoi lost the Twin Gate.

On one hand Tozawa is the best babyface in the world and the actual most charismatic man in wrestling so it'd be cool to see him basically anywhere but on the other please don't leave Dragon Gate Tozawa.

I'd love to see a OG Kidz team make a challenge but that's unlikely. Probably a Jimmyz team is my guess.

like honestly if Tozawa ends up in WWE I think I'll be legitimately upset. Not even my favorite wrestler can make WWE/NXT watchable/interesting, and missing out on my favorite wrestler because he's in a bad company legitimately makes me feel really lovely.

If you think NXT is unwatchable check the card for Takeover Dallas. It's heaven for indie/Japan fans. Besides, it's a good career move for him and he'll get to hang with his buddies Uhaa and Ricochet again.

i really don't get the outcry that i've heard (mostly on twitter) about tozawa going to gcs/wwe being the worst thing ever.

the dude wants this. he absolutely loves wrestling in the states (would you want to do some of that crazy traveling he has to do for pwg ontop of dg's insane touring schedule? he does), his best friends are here, and he's probably not going to get a sniff at the dream gate until final gate this year at the earliest.

if the gcs thing turns into a full-time thing, it'll be awesome for him. he's my favorite wrestler in the world and i'm excited to for the greater wrestling world to finally experience the big over.

As long as he brings his loud as hell yelling and his corner chest slaps spot, cool. I kind of doubt they'll let him do the yoga stretch on the ringpost though.

I'm in the same boat. Dude absolutely, 100% wants this. And it really wasn't all that long ago that Tozawa was a bastard child of DG, after all.

Wouldn't be surprised if he remembers that. Metabolic Bros was a tough time.

EDIT: Just realized that the Metabolic Bros era was ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO. Oh god I'm so old
