Tag: dragon gate

As the independent WrestleMania Week festival known as The Collective kicks off today, Dragon Gate is among the first from Japan to join the festivities with a revival of their former Dragon Gate USA sub-brand for the first of 2 events this week (the second vent is Friday). The event will feature a combination of wrestlers from Dragon Gate, US independents and The Collective host Game Changer Wrestling and even Stardom which will have a women’s match on the event. It’s the best week of the year for pro wrestling and it starts today!

Today’s event will be held at The Pearl Theater at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV and can be watched LIVE on TrillerTV//FITE with a Triller+ subscription ($7.99/month or $71.99/year). Commentary is TBD but will almost certainly be in English. If you’re a new subscriber there is a 1 week free trial so you can watch this and all The Collective events FOR FREE! The subscription includes the live broadcast and unlimited on demand replays. Be careful when going online to watch as a time change for the event was announced yesterday-originally scheduled to begin at 8 PM PT it has now been pushed back to 9 PM PT-this is not shown correctly on Triller or Dragon Gate’s websites. When the event does start it has 6 matches so it will probably run around 2 hours.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Ho Ho Lun vs. Rhys Maddox
Starlight Kid & AZM vs. Natsuko Tora & Konami
Ultimo Dragon, La Estrella & El Cucuy vs. Evan Rivers, Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
Kzy vs. Marcus Mathers
Ben-K & Hyo vs. Rich Swann & Willie Mack and Cole Radrick & Alex Prince in a 3-way
YAMATO, Dragon Kid & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & ISHIN

Updates below will begin at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

Pre-show Update: Just before 10 AM PT it was announced that current Dragon Gate GM (and former wrestler) Ryo Saito will make a special appearance at the event, as will Matt Sydal, currently signed with All Elite Wrestling but out due to injury.

9 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

Mandatory FBI Warning then a 10 second countdown before…

Another Mandatory FBI Warning then…

We are LIVE form The Pearl Theater at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Your hosts are Joe Dombrowski (who is also our ring announcer) & Rich Bocchini.

The paid attendance should be announced at a later time. Usually these in-casino Vegas venues hold anywhere from 500-2000, I’ve never been to this particular one yet so I don’t know what the setup is and from what I can see at ringside it’s not a legit sellout. But a decent-looking and sounding crowd, I’m going to guess it’ll be in the range of 600-700.

We get right to the matches after the ring announcer’s intro. Presumably no time limits like there normally is in Japan.

Match 1: Kzy vs. Marcus Mathers
Result: Kzy beat Marcus Mathers

Match 2: Stardom Match-Starlight Kid & AZM vs. Natsuko Tora & Konami
Result: Starlight Kid & AZM beat Natsuko Tora & Konami. AZM pinned Konami after Azumi Sushi.

Match 3: Ho Ho Lun vs. Rhys Maddox
Result: Ho Ho Lun beat Rhys Maddox

Match 4: Ultimo Dragon, La Estrella & El Cucuy vs. Evan Rivers, Judas Icarus & Travis Williams
Result: Ultimo Dragon, La Estrella & El Cucuy beat Evan Rivers, Judas Icarus & Travis Williams. Dragon pinned Rivers with La Magistral.

Match 5: Ben-K & Hyo vs. Rich Swann & Willie Mack and Cole Radrick & Alex Prince in a 3-way
Result: Rich Swann & WIllie Mack beat Ben-K & Hyo and Cole Radrick & Alex Prince in a 3-way when Swann pinned Hyo.

Matt Sydal comes out. He puts the promotion and everyone over and also promotes Friday’s event at Meet Las Vegas.

Main Event: YAMATO, Dragon Kid & Susumu Yokosuka vs. Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & ISHIN
Result: YAMATO, Dragon Kid & Susumu Yokosuka beat Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & ISHIN. YAMATO pinned ISHIN after Ragnarok. YAMATO post-match promo followed to wrap things up…although Rich Swann interrupted things. He’s spent some time in Dragon Gate in the past and, despite all respect for YAMATO, he wants a match against him Friday. Accepted by YAMATO in Japanese. Swann then left the ring to end the broadcast.

For the first Dragon Gate USA event in a decade it was a good mix of Japanese and American & European independent wrestling. A little more emphasis on the latter but the Stardom match was a nice addition too, and it was a neat & tidy presentation wrapping up in just over 2 hours. And there’s one more event coming which hopefully will lead to more US returns in the future.

End Show.

The second event of the US return is Friday at Meet Las Vegas. Live streaming on TrillerTV/FITE with a Trillet+ subscription as part of The Collective will begin at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

Dragon Gate runs a same-day doubleheader in Fukuoka today, which will feature the start of a tournament to crown a new Open The Brave Gate Champion. This comes after YAMATO vacated the title following his first successful defense last week against Daiki Yanagiuchi, it was never revealed why but most likely is due to YAMATO also holding the Open The Dream Gate Championship. The tournament is an 8-man single-elimination tournament with both events today having one quarterfinal match. Those participating are not headed to the US for next week’s events and will compete in Japan events happening at the same time. The Semifinals will be held on 4/26 then the Finals will crown a new champion at DEAD OR ALIVE 2025 on 5/5.

Today’s events will be held at Acros Fukuoka in Fukuoka and can be watched LIVE on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. There will be no commentary but there also will be an alternate broadcast with wrestler commentary in Japanese. The results posted here will be for the first event. There are 6 matches scheduled and with not much time between event start times this first event almost certainly won’t go longer than 2 hours. (Edit: You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube)

Dragon Gate ran their monthly Tokyo event today, which also was a 20th Anniversary event for BxB Hulk.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1376)

Match 6: Open The Brave Gate Champion YAMATO beat Daiki Yanagoichi by ref stoppage (towel) to retain the title. V1 for YAMATO. But…the title is now VACANT. YAMATO vacated the title afterwards. More when I find out additional details but it’s almost certainly because YAMATO is also the current Open The Dream Gate Champion so it’s not really feasible to be a double champion, which is backed up by history in the promotion.

Main Event: Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & Dia Inferno beat Dragon Dia, Madoka Kikuta & Ryoya Tanaka. Inferno pinned Dia.

The next event is Saturday at Nagasaki Peace Hall in Nagasaki. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

UPDATE: Following this event, the first match for DEAD OR ALIVE 2025 on 5/5 has been announced: The (usually) annual Mascara Contra Cabellera Steel Cage Match. This year’s participants are Yuki Yoshioka, Madoka Kikuta, Dragon Dia, Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura & ISHIN. Participants “survive” by escaping the cage, the last man left in the ring loses the match and also loses his hair, or if it’s Skywalker he loses his mask. The last 2 years Skywalker has “won” with help from Z-Brats and first took Diamante’s mask (he’s now Luis Mante) and last year it was Hyo’s hair, which now has mostly grown back.
Announced for the next Korakuen on 5/9 is Ben-K, Riiita, JACKY KAMEI & Mochizuki Junior vs. Strong Machine J, Kzy, U-T & Flamita in a Hyo Contra Hyo match. Hyo must join the winning faction, meaning either Gold Class or Natural Vibes gets him.

UPDATE 2: A tournament to crown a new Open The Brave Gate Champion has been announced. It will be an 8-man single elimination tournament starting this weekend and ending at DEAD OR ALIVE 2025 on 5/5. The matches are as follows:
4/13 (first event): Riiita vs. Ryoya Tanaka
4/13 (second event): Hyo vs. Ryu Fuda
4/19: U-T vs. Yosuke<3Santamaria, JACKY KAMEI vs. Homare
4/26: Semifinals (Riiita/Tanaka vs. U-T/Santamaria, Hyo/Fuda vs. KAMEI/Homare)
5/5: Finals

As a result, Kuroshio & Hyo win Block B and will advance to the Semifinals (the 2nd place team in each block also will advance). 2nd place will be determined over the remaining matchups-if YAMATO/Hulk win tomorrow (Mochizuki/Sahara) it will depend on if Skywalker/Homare beat Mochizuki/Sahara at a later date because Skywalker/Homare beat YAMATO/Hulk so they have the presumptive tiebreaker. YAMATO/Hulk would advance over J/Kzy. J/Kzy beat Skywalker/Homare. If YAMATO/Hulk lose, J/Kzy will advance on tiebreaker over Skywalker/Homare.Block A is unsettled because 2 teams have 2 matches left.

The next event is tomorrow at Sangyo Gym in Tottori. There will be no live or on demand broadcast, but the Rey De Parejas matches will be available on demand FOR FREE on YouTube at some point.
