Dragon Gate held a Shun Skywalker Produced event in Tokyo today separate from the current tour, which also featured some New Japan participation.
Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK (includes Japanese commentary).
The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 546, a super full house/very near sellout)
Pre-show match: YAMATO, JACKY KAMEI & Dragon Dia vs. Kzy, Hyo & Madoka Kikuta went to a no contest. Z-Brats interference.
Match 1: Diamante (Luis Mante, who was masked until losing his mask in 2023) & TBA, revealed at match time to be the returning from injury Dragon Kid, beat ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato. Mante pinned ISHIN after Pertigre.
Match 2: Masked Z beat Riiita by DQ. Unmasked.
Match 3: Gianni Valetta beat Shuji Ishikawa by countout. But it looked like a double countout. Apparently Shun Skywalker changed the rules. (UPDATE: That was the case. Countout was only allowed for Valetta)
Intermission.
Match 4: Taiji Ishimori & TBA (New Japan), revealed at match time to be SANADA, beat KAI & Jason Lee by DQ. KAI DQ’d. Guitar use fake out.
Main Event: BUSHI, Hiromu Takahashi & Shingo Takagi (New Japan) beat Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & Homare. BUSHI pinned Skywalker. Z-Brats attempted foreign object use on Takagi backfired.
The next event is Saturday at Kirameki Minatokan in Fukui with the final Rey De Parejas prelims. There will be no live or on demand broadcast, but the Rey De Parejas matches will be made available on demand FOR FREE on YouTube at some point after the event.
