Dragongate at Korakuen Hall, 3/2 HM: Don Fujii vs. Daiki Yanagiuchi The Dragongate dojo can't be stopped. Great debut and entry to the "crusty old man beats up rookie" genre. HM: YAMATO, Naruki Doi, Shuji Kondo, & Takashi Yoshida vs. Dragon Kid, Kagetora, Eita, & Dragon Dia Very fun 8-man. Lots of character stuff with YAMATO being a dick and Eita Eitaing. Had a slight fever dream feel. MOTYC: Rey de Parejas 2023 Semifinals - Shun Skywalker & KAI vs. Yuki Yoshioka & Madoka Kikuta Really solid match with an excellent finish that showcased the timing and precision that made Dragongate first stand out to me when I started watching. MOTYC: Rey de Parejas 2023 Finals - Yuki Yoshioka & Madoka Kikuta vs. Susumu Mochizuki & Yasushi Kanda Tag team wrestling at its finest.

Dragongate's Memorial Gate 2023, 3/18 HM: Ryukyu Dragon Ryuou Championship Match - YAMATO vs Teelan Shisa The return of full heel YAMATO to Dragongate was delightful. He managed to get the DG crowd cheering for an outsider to beat him. MOTYC: Open the Twin Gate Championship - Natural Vibes (Kzy & Big Boss Shimizu) vs. M3K (Masaaki Mochizuki & Mochizuki Jr.) Fantastic tag wrestling. The fact that Mochizuki Jr. is this good less than a year into his career is honestly quite stunning. Anyone who didn't vote him Rookie of the Year last year was wrong.

From Dragongate Dead or Alive 2023, 5/5 I’ll do more later, don’t feel like writing out a bunch of Japanese names at the moment, but I have to nominate MOTYC: Open the Dream Gate Championship - Shun Skywalker (c) vs. Madoka Kikuta Absolute masterpiece of storytelling and psychology. This is how you loving “finish the story”.

Trying to keep up with Dragongate's King of Gate tournament. Dragongate at Korakuen Hall 7/7 HM: Ultimo Dragon, Dragon Kid, & Don Fujii vs Susumu Mochizuki, Yasushi Kanda, & Mochizuki Junior Old man beats up his best friend's son to my great amusement.

Just a sick 15 minute jr heavyweight sprint. Dragongate at EDION Arena, 7/9 MOTYC: Natural Vibes (Kzy, BIGBOSS Shimizu, Jason Lee, & JACKY"FUNKY"KAMEI) vs M3K (Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Mochizuki, Yasushi Kanda, & Mochizuki Junior) HM: D'Courage (Yuki Yoshioka, Madoka Kikuta, & Dragon Dia) vs. Z-Brats (Shun Skywalker, ISHIN, & HYO) HM: King of Gate Round 1 - Ben-K vs. KAI MOTYC: King of Gate Round 1 - Naruki Doi vs. Kota Minoura MOTYC: King of Gate Round 1 - YAMATO vs. Don Fujii lol, they beat the poo poo out of each other.

forkboy84 posted:HM 2nd these. The first two have a bit too much house show faffing about but their finishing stretches are great. Minoura and Yoshioka just have great chemistry. All their singles matches have been electric.

MOTYC: Penta, Best Friends, Kingston vs. BCC, P&P Stadium Stampede. The clusteriest of clusterfucks. Camera had no idea what to film, tons of missed spots, guys wandering around looking confused, typical Moxley deathmatch nonsense but with wacky comedy as well, a Penta costume quickchange that made no sense, chairshots to the head in 2023, the van with Trent's mom and cookies.

Dragongate Storm Gate 2023 at EDION Arena, 9/24 MOTYC: Big Boss Shimizu vs. Yuki Yoshioka This match went insanely hard. Just a nonstop sprint of guys hitting each other hard and tossing each other around the ring. Sick as hell finishing sequence.

Edward Mass posted:I feel ya. It's lonely work being the only person watching a company. Pretty sure I'm the only person on these forums watching Dragongate houseshows and thus the only one currently enjoying BIG BOSS Shimizu tearing it up the past couple months. Speaking of MOTYC: BIG BOSS Shimizu vs. Kota Minoura, Dragongate at Kobe Sambo Hall, 9/30. It's time, give Shimizu the belt when he's cranking out matches like this on the reg.

Bonk posted:May add some HMs from the undercard later; DG had a fantastic week. 2nd these. Dream gate match one of my favorite singles matches I’ve seen this year and the eight man is the type of match that makes every other companies’ sprints look amateurish in comparison.
