[...] it fitting to post another World show, this time from 2002 and thus, Toryumon. If you watched the Toryumon vs T2P PPV then this show will give you an idea of some of the set ups going in as it was held just 2 months [...]

Why wasn’t it successful? Wikipedia is a bit negative about dragondoor. How were you involved mate?

dragondoor was Ultimo’s first project post-Toryumon. I was actually involved with this a little bit too ;)

However, it wasn’t very successful and eventually sort of morphed into El Dorado. So neither actually had anything to do with Toryumon officially, although a lot of former Toryumon/Toryumon X wrestlers did end up at El Dorado.

Cheers for that Seth. What about dragondoor and El Dorado? I presume DD was a bit shite?

Oh and Dragon Gate NEX is also currently out there. The shows aren’t as interesting but it’s good to see a show made up of just the young guys. Some NEX graduates include YAMATO, Cyber Kong, Tozawa and Kzy, so they’re clearly doing something right there.

Well before Dragon Gate was Dragon Gate the last class of students Ultimo trained was Toryumon X. Unfortunately these guys were a little underwhelming.

If you follow NOAH you’ll know Taiji Ishimori. He was the supposed ace of Toryumon X but unfortunately didn’t really live up to his potential. Kagetora and Naoki Tanizaki are unfortunately the only graduates currently in Dragon Gate from TX, although Ken45 was also so look out for him.

Ultimately though, Toryumon X never lived up to T2P, but they definitely did some interesting things. You might want to try tracking down some shows if you’re interested.

6 sided Seth, 6!

Seriously though, this was great. Are any of the other compaines that existed under the ‘Dragon System’ umbrella worth checking out?
