Dragon Gate - 22 март 2009

[nWoHulkster]

След като миналата година ежегодното шоу в Kobe World Hall (по традиция най-голямото шоу за годината на Dragon Gate) направи много добра посещаемост от 8,000-9,000 човека тази година Dragon Gate направиха едно от най-дръзките решения в историята си и book-наха шоу в Sumo Hall (популярна зала, която по принцип може да побере до около 13,000 човека, но естествено в случая не е ясно точно каква конфигурация ще бъде използвана). Засега за шоуто са обявени само два мача:

3/22/2009 Tokyo, Ryougoku Kokugikan

-Mascara contra Caballera: Cyber Kong vs. Anthony W. Mori

-Open the Dream Gate: Naruki Doi © vs. Koji Kanemoto

Ще се гледа, определено. Сега оставa да видим какъв ще е card-a и колко ще draw-нат. Иначе първите два мача от card-a са добре. Голям blow off на вражда + топ jr. heavyweight звезда от NJPW срещу шампиона на федерацията.

Dragon Gate стават все по-популярни и по-популярни но според мен просто няма как да ги продадат тия билети за шоуто в Sumo Hall.Doi vs. Kanemoto не ми прави голямо впечатление но шоуто ще се гледа задължително.

7. Open the Dream Gate: Naruki Doi (27:41 Muscular Bomb) Koji Kanemoto

*V2 for Doi

RH intruded onto the semifinal, overwhelming Mori and the Shisas for the no contest. They went after Moris' hair, prompting a save from Mochizuki and Fujii, then the match was restarted. Still, Kong won out and Mori lost his hair. Cyber has now protected his mask twice.

Doi seemingly was knocked out for some portion of the main event, and also was bleeding. This lead to several long Ankle Hold sections.

The undercard has received high marks thus far, particularly the Brave Gate match. The main event isn't fairing as well, but given the circumstances and how much it had to follow this is not surprising.

Claimed attendance was 11,500. By all accounts the building was very full.
