KAGETORA, SUSUMU YOKOSUKA, & YAMATO DEF. GOLD CLASS (BEN-Ok, BXB HULK, & KOTA MINOURA)

The woes proceed for Kota Minoura. Nonetheless solely 25, the Gifu-native appears to be in main hassle. Minoura has spent his total 12 months getting his ass kicked by YAMATO, who has overtly mocked him and his generational comrades within the course of. The main target of Gold Class final 12 months noticed Minoura shift into extra of a background participant as Minorita shined shiny and Ben-Ok, below a brand new gimmick, grew to become white-hot. This 12 months, with Minorita out and Ben cooled off (one thing that was sure to occur), the main target has shifted again to Minoura, for higher or worse. 

I stay skeptical that Minoura “overcoming the chances” and finally beating YAMATO will do a lot good. It feels too telegraphed to work. To be clear, I stay extremely bullish on Minoura’s future. He’s an above common wrestler who demonstrates most important occasion potential usually. As we enterprise into Gold Class’ second 12 months, nonetheless, it’s turn into abundantly clear that he might want to escape his personal unit with a view to improve his star energy. The highs of Gold Class might be outlined by Ben, Minorita, and Naruki Doi, whereas the lows will sadly belong to Minoura. 

All of that is to say that Minoura, as he usually is, was superb on this match, however it nonetheless ended with him getting his ass kicked by YAMATO. Lots of this match was spent tearing down Minoura. That labored out properly, although, as Minoura’s comeback and near-victory together with his Bevel Gear flash pin have been executed properly. Nothing the Reiwa Six member threw at YAMATO was going to be ok, nonetheless, and the five-time Dream Gate Champion reminded him of that when he dropped Minoura on his head with the Galleria for the victory. ***1/4 

BIG BOSS SHIMIZU & TORU OWASHI DEF. Z-BRATS (ISHIN & KAI) 

This was disappointing. 

The work, whereas it lasted, was gratifying. ISHIN, who has embraced the approach to life of being large-and-in-charge, was notably attention-grabbing. In a means, it’s a disgrace that ISHIN was relegated to this match and didn’t have a much bigger spot on the cardboard, as a result of you’ll be able to’t inform the story of 2024 Dragongate with out noting the large step up that ISHIN has taken. I additionally assume it’s price noting that Shimizu and Owashi have the chemistry to turn into a enjoyable, undercard tag staff in the event that they determine to go in that path. They’d be the right staff to have lose a Twin Gate match on a small present. 

Proper because it seemed like this match was about to “prepare dinner,” ISHIN introduced in a field lid and beat up Shimizu with it proper in entrance of the referee. Nothing about that DQ felt earned or crucial. It was merely a buzzkill. NR 

D’COURAGE (DRAGON DIA, MADOKA KIKUTA, & RYOYA TANAKA) & ULTIMO DRAGON DEF. DON FUJII, MASAAKI MOCHIZUKI, PROBLEM DRAGON, & YASUSHI KANDA 

In my preview, I remarked that the one title you wanted to concentrate to on this match was that of wunderkind Ryoya Tanaka. That preview was printed earlier than Dragon Dia was introduced for New Japan’s Better of the Tremendous Juniors, nonetheless, which signifies that this grew to become way more of the Dragon Dia Present than I think it was initially meant to.  

The one factor of word right here is that not solely did Dragon Dia win, however he did it with a brand new transfer that has merely been dubbed a “Modified Driver” by the official Dragongate outcomes. He picked up Drawback Dragon and put one in every of his legs behind his head (like a extra superior Fisherman Suplex), then picked up Dragon after which dropped him in a Sidewalk Slam-type place. It seemed very cool. I might anticipate for him to make use of this within the upcoming BOSJ event. **3/4 

SPECIAL SINGLES MATCH 
U-T DEF. STRONG MACHINE J 

This 12 months marked the ninth time in his profession that U-T has competed at Lifeless or Alive, his hometown present. It’s solely the third time that he’s been victorious, nonetheless. He gained at his debut on this present in 2014, retaining the Triangle Gate belts together with his companions Eita and T-Hawk. He would then lose yearly up till 2022, with two of these matches being for the Open the Courageous Gate Championship alongside the way in which. In 2022, he and Kzy would retain the Ryukyu Dragon Professional tag staff championships that they held, however U-T can be again to his dropping methods as he would drop a fall to Kagetora within the opening tag match. 

To say this end result shocked me can be an understatement. Not solely is it essentially the most success that U-T has had in entrance of his hometown crowd, however that is probably the only greatest win in U-T’s profession. He’s been in larger moments – the aforementioned Courageous Gate matches on this present, in addition to his Courageous Gate problem within the smaller Nagoya venue in 2021 towards SB KENTo are all price mentioning – however U-T misplaced all of these matches. He’s gained three titles in his profession, all of them both tag or trios belts, and at no level was U-T the main target of any of these partnerships. This was U-T’s second and he seized it. 

SMJ has been wrestling like a freight practice this 12 months, working matches with high-energy and a ton of velocity. This was a shift in one other path. His method on this match was way more methodical. He did little issues like jamming U-T’s head in between the ring submit and the metal submit simply past the ring submit meant to hoist up the metal cage later within the night. He caught the hometown child with a lot of brief, stiff lariats that appeared to weaken U-T significantly. He by no means managed to totally lose management of the match. Up till the end, U-T’s offense was primarily accomplished briefly bursts. The complete match seemed prefer it was going to result in an SMJ victory. 

Proper when it seemed like that the masked man had accomplished sufficient to place the match away, U-T shocked us all. He ate one in every of SMJ’s signature powerslams, however rolled by means of after which tried to lock in his signature submission, the Bienllave. He failed to totally lock it in at first as SMJ put up an amazing battle, however U-T used his momentum to roll over and place SMJ within the heart of the ring. When that occurred, U-T used one final burst of adrenaline to lock within the maintain, which pressured his fellow Pure Vibes member to surrender. 

There’s most likely a “higher” model of this match on the market, one that may be a tad shorter and includes a tad extra offense, however I believed these two completely delivered to the extent that they need to have. SMJ continues to be a completely compelling wrestler; somebody who at one level in his profession solely had one velocity and a technique of doing issues who now has confirmed that he can adapt and thrive in a wide range of settings. He’s been a standout in 2024. U-T, as has been the case for his decade-long profession now, won’t be outlined by the point that he spends within the ring, however sadly by the point that he spends away from the ring as a consequence of damage. He confirmed as soon as once more that when he’s wholesome, he’s an higher tier employee on this roster. ***1/2 

After the match, U-T challenged Robust Machine J to face with Pure Vibes in the principle occasion. SMJ exited with out saying something, leaving by means of the gang as an alternative of the entryway. 

OPEN THE TWIN GATE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH 
TEAM NO HUG (DRAGON KID & NARUKI DOI) DEF. ALEJANDRO & KAITO KIYOMIYA ©

The NOAH duo of Alejandro & Kaito Kiyomiya did not make their second profitable protection of the Open the Twin Gate Championships. As a unit, Dragon Child & Naruki Doi, Staff No Hug, grew to become the 66th Open the Twin Gate Champions with this reign. It’s the fourth reign for Dragon Child and the eighth reign for Naruki Doi. 

It’s a travesty that Kaito Kiyomiya has spent a majority of his profession in NOAH. A travesty. For 9 years, the promotion that Kiyomiya calls residence has neutered him at each likelihood they’ve gotten. He’s been eaten alive by relics of a bygone period and now, even with the promotion’s high prize round his waist, pressured to cosplay as somebody who had no affiliation with NOAH previous to his embarrassing retirement tour that did way more hurt than good. While you watch Kiyomiya exterior of NOAH, whether or not it’s in New Japan or right here in Dragongate, it’s so clear that NOAH is doing this man no favors. He wrestles with a lot confidence and poise exterior of his residence promotion. I fearful when his foray into Dragongate started final December that he would flip his nostril up at a promotion who has by no means had the mainstream approval that NOAH was grandfathered into, however the reverse occurred. Kiyomiya embraced Dragongate. He was so giving with every of his opponents. He was good right here, simply as he was in January when he defended the belts towards Kung-Fu Masters. He wrestles extra like an ace in Dragongate than he does in NOAH, and he’s spent practically a decade combating to be NOAH’s plain ace. I’m not saying in the long term that Kiyomiya can be simpler right here than in his residence promotion (I might say that about his companion Alejandro, nonetheless), however it’s a disgrace to assume that this may be the final time that we see this model of Kiyomiya. 

Whereas each Alejandro and Dragon Child added positively to this match, it was undeniably elevated by Kioymiya and Doi, respectively. 

On the danger of creating historians uncomfortable, it’s time we’ve got the dialog about Naruki Doi being the only biggest tag staff wrestler of all-time. Doi has had nice (4 stars or larger) matches with the next companions: 

  • Masato Yoshino 
  • Naoki Tanizaki 
  • Gamma
  • Ricochet
  • YAMATO 
  • Shingo Takagi 
  • Kaito Ishida 
  • Dragon Child 

Doi has been concerned in two traditionally important tag groups in SpeedMuscle and YAMADoi and has put forth among the strongest tag staff matches in historical past (w/ Ricochet vs. Hulk & Tozawa, and so on.). He has accomplished all of it and he’s accomplished it towards everybody. 

If we have been consuming Doi’s 24-year-career with the good thing about hindsight, that means that we put his output in 1975-1999 as an alternative of 2000-now, we’d take a look at Doi because the second coming of Christ. He would so clearly be thought of an all-time nice (which he’s) and it will be commonplace to marvel on the work he’s accomplished in his numerous tag groups, particularly. Kenta Kobashi was an excellent tag staff wrestler who additionally had iconic groups and iconic matches, however Doi has a stronger output. Ricky Morton speaks for himself, however Doi has remained at “peak” efficiency far longer than Morton did. His competitors comes right down to Matt and/or Nick Jackson, who’ve a stronger resume as a tag staff than any singular Doi staff, however lack the variability that Doi brings to the desk. 

His partnership with Dragon Child is already snug within the higher echelon of Doi partnerships, and it comes at a time by which Doi is doing the most effective work of his profession. The wonderful factor about his two-and-a-half decade run is that he’s constantly gotten higher at each step in his profession. There’s a transparent distinction between T2P Doi in 2002 and Second Doi in 2003. The hole between Second Doi and 2005 Blood Era Doi is humongous. He solely upped his sport when Blood Era turned to Muscle Outlawz earlier than lastly proving he might be an efficient babyface when he linked up with WORLD-1. This isn’t to say that Doi hasn’t stumbled alongside the way in which. His first Dream Gate reign in 2009 stunk. He wasn’t a brilliant compelling member of Blood Warriors. He would be taught from these items, nonetheless. His second Dream Gate run, whereas brief, was good. His time in Mad Blankey and VerserK was way more compelling than his time in Blood Warriors. He’s by no means stopped bettering, and that story stays true in 2024. 

It may well’t be understated that Doi, a product of the Toryumon 2000 Undertaking and a lucharesu lifer, went nose-to-nose with the GHC Heavyweight Champion and nobody batted a watch. In actual fact, my solely thought whereas watching him and Kiyomiya spar was “what took so lengthy?” Doi has been doing the most effective work of his profession over the past 18 months. His hit fee is remarkably excessive and he’s doing it at an incredibly constant fee. 

One of the best spot of the match, with out query, was when Doi related with Doi 5’s on Kiyomiya, just for Kiyomiya to pop up and hit a Jumbo Tsuruta-esque Knee on Doi earlier than he may hit his Bakatare Sliding Kick. That knee despatched Doi again into the ropes, the place he responded with a Bakatare that truly related. Kiyomiya’s momentum despatched him rolling again to his toes, nonetheless, and he got here again at Doi with a Shining Wizard. Chic stuff. 

Kiymoya was eradicated from the motion shortly after that when Dragon Child spiked him on his head with an Extremely Hurricanrana, leaving Alejandro to fend for his life towards two Dragongate legends. He practically obtained Doi with a Yoshi-tanic, then a roll up that prevented him from consuming a Muscular Bomb, however neither try put Doi away. By this level, Dragon Child was again within the fray, and a 619 to Alejandro led proper into the Doi-ble, Staff No Hug’s ending transfer of alternative. 

It took 17:27, however Doi and Dragon Child managed to trip the wave of momentum they acquired from profitable Rey de Parejas into profitable the Twin Gate belts. The pacing of this match was exceptional. At no level did it appear to be anybody wanted to decelerate and take a breath. There was a relentless feeling of momentum from the opening bell till the end. Glorious stuff. Required viewing. ****1/2 

OPEN THE DREAM GATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
LUIS MANTE © DEF. GIANNI VALLETTA 

This win marks the third profitable protection for Luis Mante as Open the Dream Gate Champion. 

In my preview, I laid out 4 attainable situations for what may occur on this match, which I dubbed the riskiest Dream Gate match in historical past. 

  1. Mante wins however it kills Valletta’s aura. The match high quality is irrelevant on this state of affairs. 
  2. Mante wins, however Valletta’s aura is salvaged. The match and the end, particularly, need to be nice to ensure that this to occur. 
  3. The match ends in a no contest as a consequence of disqualification/interference/rely out, resulting in the Dream Gate belt being vacated and in consequence, Mante will get cooled off significantly. 
  4. The match sucks, everybody loses, and everyone seems to be worse off. 

Sadly for Dragongate, we noticed Situation #1 play out proper earlier than our eyes. Mante scored a win with an Inside Cradle in a match that reminded us that Valletta is a small room act and that Mante does his greatest work with males significantly smaller than him. If Valletta returns to Dragongate, is he lifeless within the water? No. Will he come throughout far much less scary than he did going into this match, although? Completely. 

It’s a testomony to Dragongate’s reserving that they have been in a position to get Valletta ready for a match of this caliber in solely 4 months time. Nobody may’ve seen this coming in January when he entered the corporate, however Dragongate nailed each beat alongside the way in which to the place Valletta felt like a viable Dream Gate challenger by the point this match was booked. 

They missed badly with two issues on this bout. For starters, they’d Valletta come down the doorway ramp and never by means of the gang. His total act is based on scaring the viewers. He taunted individuals within the entrance row as soon as he obtained right down to the ring, however it was nothing like what he had accomplished in Korakuen or Kobe Sanbo Corridor or KBS Corridor. That was an enormous mistake. Second, they labored this match shockingly straight. I anticipated a brawl, a automobile crash, or perhaps a catastrophe, however they simply had…a match. Whereas there have been way more catastrophic situations at play, this was essentially the most boring consequence attainable. 

I believe they might’ve gotten to their desired consequence in half the time and it will’ve been twice as efficient. Mante ought to’ve gone into survival mode after consuming a chokeslam on the apron early within the match. In that second, Valletta ought to’ve taken it as an indication that the champion might be mauled and Mante ought to’ve been terrified on the considered dropping the belt that he labored so exhausting to get. The urgency by no means elevated, nonetheless, solely the quantity of chinlocks carried out. 

The notable, albeit faint pop within the match got here when Mante kicked out of the King Kong Knee Drop. Nobody had accomplished that but throughout Valletta’s time in Dragongate. In actual fact, each person who was on the receiving finish of that second had offered it like dying. That just about made this whole affair price it. 

Had Mante gained with the Tremendous Tigre, the rollup maneuver that has introduced him so many victories over the past six months, I might’ve been way more tolerant of the efforts on this match. That might’ve been a definitive win and would’ve put a pleasant bow on this story. As a substitute, he gained with an Inside Cradle, giving me the impression that Valletta might be again in Dragongate sooner or later. I might’ve a lot most well-liked Mante come out of this with a dominant win. 

As an entire, the Gianni Valletta Experiment needs to be thought of successful. This match, nonetheless, uncovered Valletta and left Mante with a lame duck protection. ***

MÁSCARA CONTRA CABELLERA 5-WAY STEEL CAGE MATCH
JACKY “FUNKY” KAMEI, JASON LEE, KZY, & SHUN SKYWALKER DEF. HYO 

They’ve accomplished it once more. 

It’s exhausting to place into phrases simply how wonderful Dragongate cage matches are once they’re accomplished proper; I’ve now had this subject on-and-off for 9 years whereas writing about Dragongate for this web site. Whereas this didn’t attain the in-ring peaks of 2016 or have the drama of Diamante getting left within the cage final summer time, this, with out query, was top-of-the-line Dragongate cage matches ever. 

The one technique to parse by means of this epic is to go person-by-person, so as they escaped. 

Jacky “Funky” Kamei was the primary particular person out of the cage, despite the fact that Hyo had an opportunity to flee lengthy earlier than him. Kamei’s allies have been clear on this match; not solely did he have his Pure Vibes companion, Kzy, to battle alongside him, however Huge Hug’s Hyo was there merely to guarantee that Kamei didn’t get his head-shaved. This was one more ongoing try to get Kamei to go to Huge Hug. Very early on within the match, Hyo stood atop the cage with a flag in hand, however earlier than he pulled the flag out of its holster to safe his escape, he seemed again at Kamei, who was being brutally double-teamed by Jason Lee and Shun Skywalker. Hyo, realizing that his escape would depart Kamei with a drawback, hopped off the cage and continued combating. 

It got here as no shock that Kamei, in his first-ever cage match, seamlessly tailored to the atmosphere. That is what he’s accomplished in no matter scenario has been thrown his means for the final 4 years. I really feel very snug claiming that from a purely in-ring standpoint, the one two individuals on Earth which have had a greater 2024 than Kamei are Bryan Danielson and Will Ospreay, and neither of these males would be capable to duplicate the Kamei efficiency on this night time. 

Early within the match, Z-Brats launched two humongous picket planks into the fold. These have been initially utilized by KAI and ISHIN in an effort to swat away the babyfaces making an attempt to flee earlier than they have been slid into the ring and used as weapons by Z-Brats themselves. With a plank resting up towards a turnbuckle, Skywalker whipped Kamei into the nook, and in a second of brilliance, Kamei used the plank as a ramp and scaled to the highest of the cage. Sadly, his parkour-inspired effort was thwarted by the remainder of Z-Brats. 

Regardless of a whirlybird spot with the plank quickly after, issues started to look bleak for Kamei as Z-Brats regained management in an actual means. Kamei seemed incapacitated, Kzy seemed helpless, and Hyo seemed overwhelmed by the carnage within the ring. 

Fortunately for Kamei, his fortunes would quickly change. 

Hyo, whereas battling towards Z-Brats in a two-on-one assault, used the rope that they’d introduced into the match to catapult Kamei up over the crossbar and to the highest of the cage. That is the primary time anybody has ever accomplished something like this in one in every of these cage matches. 

Kamei, because of the assistance of Hyo, was a free man. 

Skywalker wasted no time leaving the cage after Kamei obtained out. In contrast to Hyo, who had an opportunity to flee however then seemed again and determined towards it, Skywalker by no means seemed again to see if his unit-mate Jason Lee wanted assist. Skywalker fairly actually stepped over Kzy, who was additionally going for a flag, and kicked him away en path to grabbing the flag. 

Kzy was fast to get better, nonetheless, as he quickly discovered himself atop the cage. His destiny was additionally decided by an unsuspecting companion. Whereas Kamei had Hyo, who was not in his unit, Kzy was finally freed by Robust Machine J, who, at occasions, has been a reluctant member of Kzy’s unit. Regardless of already having escaped the cage, Skywalker climbed again to the highest to thwart Kzy’s try at grabbing a flag. He knocked him down a rung, then tried to mind Kzy with a metallic tray. Whereas the 2 have been jockeying over the tray, SMJ got here out of nowhere and scaled the cage, assembly the 2 on the high. SMJ chopped the chest of Kzy after which signaled to Skywalker that they might be aligned going ahead. He was handed the metallic tray, however as an alternative of sending it into the cranium of Kzy, he attacked Skywalker, which led to a thunderous ovation. Skywalker fell from the highest of the cage as Kzy ascended to the flag, pulling it and escaping with the assistance of SMJ. 

That left Hyo in there with Jason Lee. The person who inserted himself into the match to guard Jacky Kamei had accomplished simply that, however now he was vulnerable to dropping all of it. All of it hit me at this second, the expansion of Dragongate’s Panther. I all the time noticed potential in Hyo. I likened his earliest days within the firm to that of a pre-CIMA, Shiima Nobunaga. He had the identical agility and the same construct. Sadly for Hyo, he was one of many 5 graduates in what has became essentially the most aggressive Dragongate Dojo Class in historical past. Ben-Ok, Shun Skywalker, and Yuki Yoshioka developed boldly and rapidly, leaving the late-bloomer within the mud. 

He grew to become an important a part of the corporate when he turned heel in 2019. In R.E.D., he was primarily a loss submit, however he was shit stirrer. He grew to become a mouthpiece to create huge matches with huge stakes. The notorious Remaining Gate 2020 Dropping Unit Disbands match wouldn’t have occurred with out him. His time in R.E.D. felt like an unbridled joyride. He was getting consideration – actual, precise consideration – for the primary time in his profession. It appeared like every time he lower a promo, one thing larger and extra damaging than the time earlier than would happen. 

By the point R.E.D. turned to Z-Brats, Hyo took an elevated place inside the unit. He gained his first singles title and for a quick interval, it seemed like he and SB KENTo have been going to be a dynamic pair that the remainder of Dragongate was going to need to take care of for a very long time. Alas, selections have been made. 

Within the year-and-a-half that Hyo spent representing Z-Brats, we noticed him mature. He grew to become increasingly integral into the day by day cloth of Dragongate. His match high quality improved. His look obtained higher. Every little thing about his sport was bettering to a degree that by the point he determined to hyperlink up with Luis Mante and switch his again on Z-Brats, he hit the bottom working. 

We noticed this man mature earlier than our eyes. He was now not burning rubber with out pondering of the implications. Hyo grew to become a considerate wrestler and a lovable character. His time in Huge Hug has seen him turn into one of the beloved wrestlers on all the roster. For the ultimate few months of 2023, he was the beating coronary heart of the promotion. Every little thing that mattered, mattered as a result of it concerned him. 

His effort towards Jason Lee was a valiant effort, however it was doomed from the start. The longer the beatdown went, the extra Kamei obtained emotional on the skin. Grief fell over him as he realized Hyo’s inevitable destiny was one thing he was going to be liable for. As Lee beat Hyo with chairs and Kamei whimpered on the skin, this match entered a really particular, emotional zone. 

With a purpose to know what’s good, you need to perceive what’s unhealthy. There’s not a much bigger plague on this Earth than individuals who power positivity for the sake of positivity, which incorporates those that don’t have the center to correctly analyze what artwork unfolds in entrance of them. Maybe a part of the rationale that I’m so perturbed by the profitable aspect within the American wrestling panorama is that they’re routinely praised for issues that I do know are unhealthy. Objectively, they’re unhealthy. They, nonetheless, communicate to a big demographic of folks that don’t realize it’s unhealthy. I really, deep down, in my coronary heart of hearts, imagine that what they’re doing is unhealthy. Overlook the stomach-turning morale points that anybody must be confronted with when giving cash to these vile cretins, however I genuinely imagine that the “artwork” that they produce, for lack of a greater time period, sucks. It’s for a lesser type. It’s for dummies. It’s for individuals who I don’t wish to be related to. If Dragongate didn’t exist, I nonetheless wouldn’t be a fan of what they do, however Dragongate does exist, and it’s in these moments, when Kamei is sobbing as Lee is climbing to the highest of the cage, that proves how inferior most different types of wrestling are. 

I’ve watched Hyo and Luis Mante attempt to recruit Jacky “Funky” Kamei into their group for six months now. At no level did I’ve an concept of the place issues have been going. I believed it will be awkward for Kamei to go away Vibes, however I additionally thought it will be awkward for Kamei to not find yourself in Huge Hug, given how dedicated they have been to recruiting him. 

It was right here when every part fell into place. Lee escaped the cage after a sequence of brutal, chair-driven assaults. Hyo was lined in powder (thrown by ISHIN), sweat, and disgrace as he got here to the conclusion that he can be pressured to have his head shaved by the opposite contributors within the match. 

Skywalker and Lee took glee in chopping off locks of Hyo’s hair, however they took extra glee in forcing Kzy and Kamei to do the identical. Watching Kamei lower Hyo’s hair was one of the emotional issues within the historical past of this promotion. It’s up there with Naoki Tanizaki profitable the Courageous Gate belt in entrance of his child, Uhaa Nation’s tearful goodbye, and Ok-Ness’ retirement. 

Silence could be a harmful factor in wrestling, however there’s a certain quantity of consolation I get when silence falls over a Dragongate crowd. It’s a factor distinctive to this firm, distinctive to their tales, that makes sure moments all of the extra uncomfortable. The one sounds coming from the gang as Kamei was chopping off a few of Hyo’s hair have been that of stifled sniffles from an viewers that was watching the general public humiliation of the Open the Courageous Gate Champion. As one one that attended the present advised me in a Twitter DM, 

The match itself was 37 minutes with the post-match simply including one other 15 or so. While you mix all of it collectively, it’s so clearly one of the emotional issues to happen inside the confines of a wrestling ring. The tears shed by all, the gravitas of the haircut, and the ending, with Kzy encouraging Kamei go away Vibes to staff with Huge Hug was all completely executed. The emotion displayed was earned. Nothing about it felt contrived. It was all, for lack of a greater time period, lovely. 

Kamei started to go away the ring with Huge Hug, however earlier than the present got here to an in depth, Kzy referred to as him again within the ring to do one ultimate Pure Vibes dance. It was excellent. ****1/4 

FINAL THOUGHTS 

You’re doing a disservice to your self as a wrestling fan if you don’t watch the principle occasion. It was a spectacle, a real show of “storytelling” that far exceeded what we normally see from the remainder of the wrestling world. Dragongate can now cost ahead with Hyo, Jacky “Funky” Kamei, Jason Lee, and Shun Skywalker on the helm. If it wasn’t apparent earlier than this present, it’s abundantly clear that now Dragongate is in good palms. A full thumbs up for Lifeless or Alive.
