It has been a while now since former Toryumon and Dragon Gate ace Magnum TOKYO made his return to pro-wrestling, after an injury hiatus sent him to South America to teach judo. His return, however, saw him enter the HUSTLE ring instead of the Dragon Gate one, but under the name Detective Alan Kuroki.

I finally have the GATE OF ANNIVERSARY PPV ready. It is the full show, unclipped including all commentary that bookends normal PPVs.

Personally, I’ve found he has become very stale over the years, and I would really like him to take this opportunity...
I don’t plan on making a habit of posting single matches, but this is a bit of a unique one in that it is from NKPWA, a Korean wrestling organisation where WARRIORS-5 battle Real Hazard. It’s a fun match where the crowd, who seem to know CIMA but not much else, are really into it. There aren’t many of them there, but as with most South Koreans, they don’t let that get them down and make enough noise to make up for it.
