 It's arguably the biggest weekend in Dragon Gate history, as the company for the first time brings us a double header from Kobe World Hall. First is the annual Kobe World Pro-Wrestling Festival, Dragon Gate's anniversary show and annual biggest event of the year. The show is stacked top to bottom, with every belt on the line, and main-evented by the young phenom Shun Skywalker defending the Open the Dream Gate championship against the incredibly popular Kzy, whose time it most definitely finally is. Kobe World Card posted:July 31st, 2021 On the following night, we have a more somber affair, as Dragon System legend Masato Yoshino wrestles his final match, as he retires due to lingering neck injuries. A full accounting of Yoshino's career is beyond my capabilities, and I suggest you read Case Lowe's thorough career retrospective over at Voices of Wrestling, but suffice to say, if any person in this company deserves a Kobe World equivalent retirement show, it's Masato Yoshino. For his final match he teams up with his legendary tag partner Naruki Doi to take on the company's top heel Eita teaming with BxB Hulk. As before, every title is on the line, with challengers waiting in the wings for the results of the previous night. I assume the undercard will be made up of losers from Kobe World, so that part of the card hasn't been filled out yet. Speed Star Final Card posted:August 1st, 2021 You can watch both shows live on the Dragon Gate Network with both Japanese and English commentary. https://dragongate.live Come and post with all your Something Awful buddies as we struggle to stay awake during the intermissions!

YAMATO's going to do to Kzy what Tanahashi did to Okada at that one Wrestle Kingdom where he made him cry and then called him a dumb loser bitch.

Shun's going over both guys and will drop it to a returning Akira Tozawa at Gate of Destiny. I took a nap so hopefully I can make it without falling asleep during the intermission.

If you haven't seen it, on social media they have pictures of the units all business suited up for the press conferences ut KAI is just vibing in his ring gear and it's great content.

I think it was a supply of soap or something, as the guy who runs Japan’s biggest soap company is a huge wrestling fan who sponsees a bunch of stuff and apparently all the wrestling content on Amazon Prime Japan is funded and booked entirely to cater to his wild money mark inclinations. drat Masquerade looking like the coolest animes out here

Genki's been around since the early Toryumon days and is one the perennially over veteran midcarders. Originally had a surfer gimmick which he dropped once he started going bald at an early age and turned H A G E into his gimmick. He's almost always associated with Susumu and Saito. Got the backslide over as a legit finisher in his legendary El Numero Uno 2003 run where he beat main eventers Magnum Tokyo and Mochizuki with it in the same night before losing an excellent match against CIMA in the finals. He was head of the booking committee around 2013/2014ish but I don't know if he still is. Think Doi and Yoshino have more of a lead role in that now. This is their Kobe World 2019 match.

I want to be mad but that was like maybe the best match I’ve seen this year and Shun/YAMATO has been a dream gate match I’ve wanted since Shun won it.

sticklefifer posted:That rules. With the way they're hyping up the unit, I almost wonder if Shun's retaining all the way through and they're booking 2021 specifically to be Masquerade's year. Though it could go either way between them and HIGH-END. Tonight is going to be really interesting. Whoever wins, Minoura is defintely being set up for the next challenge too, so I really don't know what's going down with the Dream Gate tonight. Full card is out now too.
