Dragon Gate continued The Gate Of Evolution 2023 Tour today with a Genki Horiguchi 25th Anniversary Event.
Today’s event was held at Kumamoto Castle Hall in Kumamoto and, thanks to a late change of plans, can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. It was originally to be non-televised with no live or on demand broadcast.
The announced paid attendance was 551, a super full house/very near sellout.

Match 2: Yuki Yoshioka beat Jason Lee.
Match 3: Shun Skywalker beat JACKY “FUNKY” KAMEI.
Match 4: Madoka Kikuta & Dragon Dia beat Kota Minoura & Ben-K. Dia pinned Ben-K.

Main Event: Genki Horiguchi, Dragon Kid & Ryo Saito beat Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Mochizuki & Yasushi Kanda. Horiguchi pinned Kanda after Backslide Times.
The next event is tomorrow at Kaikyo Messe Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi. There will be no live or on demand broadcast. The last 3 events this month (tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday) will not be broadcast, then most of December’s events will be on DRAGONGATE NETWORK (9 of 13 scheduled).
