You were right about munenori sawa,he’s pretty good.Hopefully,dgate will bring him again.

i’ve read that kenta kakinuma is the exact copy of akira tozawa,is this true?.i talk about the gimmick.

btw,you said me akebono was pretty good in his ajpw ppv match,but i’ve seen the match and he did the same crap as always.Big elbow drop,running body press…. .I’m glad Minoru and Kondo were there,otherwise i would have skipped that…

It’s interesting suwama vs kono ,and kojima vs hama?.For suzuki vs funaki and kaz vs kai it’s clear it’s gonna be good,even if the wrong guy won for the jr but the others matches i’m not sure about the quality(kono is not great for me and has zero charisma).

It’s clear you were right otherwise,the undercard matches of the dgate ppv are much more cool than the ajpw’s one which were just decent.
Dgate is the second most interesting puro promotion after njpw imo.

ZERO-1 is the most “important” by far. BJW & DDT are gimmick promotions and don’t win over most mainstream fans. When they first opened in 01 they were thought of as one of the big 4. The main event of their first show was Hashimoto & Nagata vs Misawa & Akiyama. After Hashimoto retired (and eventually passed away) things pretty much went downhill, Otani and Tanaka did their bests to keep it running and they got a sweet tv deal (commission from ratings or something crazy like that) but it will never be what it once was. They don’t even fill korakuen anymore but I suppose it doesn’t matter as long as people watch it on tv.

This site is the main reason why Dragon Gate is now my favorite Japanese company. This was an awesome show, and kudos to Seth for everything he does on this site.

Yes,rafa you’re right.
A lot of promotions have their own major event.
For Njpw it’s in january,for Ajpw it’s on summer,and for Dgate it’s that show.
Some promotions does not have a more important show like Noah.

Btw,Mastermind ,you who follow all the promotions.
Which is the most important between ddt,Big Japan and Zero 1?
I do not watch them but i do wonder….

I have a doubt that is bothering me in quite some time, it’s about the kobe pro wrestling festival.

Is this the most importante show, the major show in Dragon Gate, I mean is it the WrestleMania of Dragon Gate?

There was no evidence on the PPV of a change from Warriors 5 to warriors, so I’m still not convinced that that’s official.
