The most important thing to know about the roster is that Mondai Ryu's nickname is also Problem Dragon, so he is announced as "Mondai Ryu" Mondai Ryu.

So Yoshida and Ryu are still friends from the Mad Blankey/Verserk days, but now they're good guys?

They're usually the lowest ranking guys in heel units, but this year they've both been among the few independents on the roster, which doesn't typically have an alignment.

Ah, so High-End are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to make up numbers

Yeah, exactly. They lost everyone else due to injury, betrayal, or leaving the company, but Yoshida & Mondai are from the same dojo class generation as YAMATO so he accepted the help.

This card is really focused on showcasing the 2022 class so far. Nagano in the opener, Kato's debut, now Junior.

I stand corrected, Kato seems to understand quite a bit of what Jae is saying, but only speaks a few words.

Ben-K started eating bananas after winning matches because BxB Hulk called him a dumb gorilla jock.

Sadly no Griffin McElroy cronch yet.

Another free one tonight, and it's on relatively early (for a DG show), so might as well reuse this thread.

With commentary (Japanese, probably Genki)
Without commentary

U-T Homecoming show in Nagoya @ 3:45pm JST / 6:45am GMT / 1:45am EST / 10:45pm PST

■8-Man Tag: Eita, Problem Dragon, Kaito Nagano, Yoshiki Kato vs. (M3K) Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Mochizuki, Yasushi Kanda, Mochizuki Junior
-The loose story is that Eita burned all his bridges leading R.E.D, and now he has no friends left, so he's been tagging with random people and trying to get them to align with him.

■Singles: Madoka Kikuta vs Punch Tominaga
-Not sure why this was changed; it was originally supposed to be Kikuta in the 8-man opener and Yoshiki Kato vs Don Fujii.

■Tag: Minorita & Ryu Fuda vs (Z-Brats) HYO & Diamante
-Minorita is challenging for HYO's Brave Gate title, IF he can win without the help of Ben-K. The rookie Fuda hasn't found a unit yet, and is about due for a win one of these days.

■Singles: Takashi Yoshida vs Big Boss Shimizu
-BEEFMEN. This rivalry has come up as Yoshida has been trying to get YAMATO's unit High-End to take him seriously.

■8-Man: (Natural Vibes) Kzy, U-T, Jacky 'Funky' Kamei, Jason Lee vs (Z-Brats) Shun Skywalker, KAI, BxB Hulk, ISHIN
-Shun has been saying for months that Natural Vibes need to be eradicated. U-T may get the pin here.

■Ultimo Dragon 35th Anniversary & Dragon Kid 25th Anniversary Special Match: Ultimo Dragon vs Dragon Kid
-Mentor vs Student in a singles match that, shockingly, has never happened (unless there's some obscure show I haven't seen).

■Tag: (D'courage) Yuki Yoshioka & Dragon Dia vs (Gold Class) Kota Minoura & Ben-K
-Yuki has a Dream Gate title defense coming up against former champion Ben-K, so each brought a buddy along.
