11/3/2013 Osaka, BODYMAKER COLOSSEUM ~THE GATE OF DESTINY 2013~ - USTREAM $25

1. Jimmy Susumu, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda vs. Super Shisa, Shachihoko BOY, Ryotsu Shimizu
2. 3 Way Tag Match: Mr. Quu Quu Tanizaki Naoki Toyonaka Dolphin, Jimmy Kagetora vs. Mondai Ryu, Kzy vs. Don Fujii, Gamma
3. U-T, The Former Super Shenlong III: Yosuke Watanabe, Flamita, Rocky Lobo vs. CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, CIBA, TSUBASA
4. Open the Brave Gate Championship Match: Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!! vs. Anthony Nese
5. 29th Open the Twin Gate Champion Team Decision Match: T-Hawk, Eita vs. K-ness, Dragon Kid
6. Open the Triangle Gate Championship Match: YAMATO, BxB Hulk, Cyber Kong vs. Akira Tozawa, Shingo Takagi, Uhaa Nation
7. Open the Dream Gate Championship Match: Masato Yoshino vs. Naruki Doi
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jesus this card is stacked. Four incredible title matches, a Millenials 8-man with U-T and the DTU boys Flamita & Rocky Lobo, the DTU guys, Nese, Shimizu, & Millenials make their big show debuts, etc.

Looks like The Former Super Shenlong III: Yosuke Watanabe is part of the Millenials now:

Watanabe told the Millenials he had something he wanted to tell them. He said he was shocked at the growth shown by Yuta Tanaka since returning from Mexico. He wanted to fight alongside his dear friend Eita Kobayashi. he asked U-T to allow him to join the Millenials. He was actually talking to T-Hawk, who quickly corrected him. He told Watanabe he had a great body that could be used for learning strong lucha. More importantly, Watanabe was a part of his generation, therefore he was an ally. Everyone born before 1990 was an enemy. They agreed to fight together, and eliminate their enemies. CIMA & Gamma were inspired by this scene, and also applied for Millenials entry. Unfortunately for them, their birthdates were quickly revealed to be 1977 & 1973, respectively. They were denied. They apologized for taking up everyones' time.

Also, CIMA got in a car accident:

While driving in his hometown of Sakai in Osaka, CIMA was involved in a rear-end collision. He had to suddenl hit his brakes, prompting the other motorist to do the same. The collision caused considerable damage to his Lexus CT, but none of the people involved were injured. CIMA said the impact was similar to receiving a power bomb. Because he was a pro wrestler, it was only natural that his car was destroyed while he escaped unscathed.

CIMA was involved in an accident back in 2002 where his front tire exploded, causing him to crash through the front of a ramen shop. That event was dubbed the "Tope Suicida to the Ramen Shop".

No match order set for Power Struggle yet. I would expect another match added, probably a bunch of juniors in a multi man for the pre show (I don't see Kendrick, Baretta, BUSHI, etc), and there is a serious lack of Yujiro.

Good to see some singles matches in the mix on the Korakuen show, which looks good.

Honma/Shibata and Tanahashi/Ishii on the undercard of Power Struggle? TAKE ALL MY MONEY!

Around 2:24 is KENTA vs Nakajima. Match isn't that long, maybe 18-20 minutes, really good as expected, and a celebration that needs to be seen post match.

NOAH 10/27/13 - GLOBAL LEAGUE - Sapporo
1. Yoshinari Ogawa vs Hitoshi Kumano
2. Daisuke Harada vs Taiji Ishimori vs Zack Sabre Jr
3. Super Crazy & Pesadilla vs Genba Hirayanagi & Hajime Ohara

8. Maybach Tanaguchi vs Yuji Nagata
9. KENTA vs Katsuhiko Nakajima

This is the new rage in pirating, the new google drive gimmick, click & play, link won't last forever though. Didn't watch anything else, although 2, 5, 7 look mildly interesting.

Awesome show. Dragon Gate introduces an exotico gimmick.
 
Yuji Nagata won the NOAH Global League.

This means he'll challenge KENTA at some point for the GHC Title, which is intriguing due to the shoot lesson he gave the little shit in that tag a few years ago.
 
11/10/2013 Kyoto, KBS Hall - 900 Attendance
1. Akira Tozawa{W}, Masato Yoshino, Shingo Takagi (12:23 German Suplex Hold) Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Susumu, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito{L}
2. Mondai Ryu (8:40 Mondai Ryu☆Sei) Mike Sydal
3. BxB Hulk (7:48 First Flash) Jimmy Kanda
4. CIMA (7:41 Zebra Special) CIBA
5. YAMATO, Naruki Doi{W} (16:17 Bakatare Sliding Kick) Dragon Kid{L}, Gamma
6. Millenials vs. Jimmys 6 vs. 2 Handicap Match: T-Hawk, Eita, U-T, Yosuke♡Santa Maria, Flamita, Rocky Lobo (11:47 No Contest due to Jimmys Interference) Jimmy Kagetora, Mr. Quu Quu Tanizaki Naoki Toyonaka Dolphin
6b. T-Hawk{W}, Eita, U-T, Yosuke♡Santa Maria, Flamita, Rocky Lobo (10:51 Night Ride) Jimmy Kagetora, Mr. Quu Quu Tanizaki Naoki Toyonaka Dolphin, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Susumu, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda{L}

Susumu, Tozawa, & Yoshino had a brief exchange after the opener. Susumu said he wasn't defeated in the key hunting match, he was simply beaten to the key by T-Hawk. Therefore, he still considered himself in contention for the Dream Gate. Tozawa said he also had no plans on giving up on the belt. He still hoped to have a match with Yoshino. Yoshino, always the fighting champion, welcomed the challenge from either one of them.

Hulk complained about being stuck in another lame midcard match. He took exception to Tozawa & Susumu still having Dream Gate aspirations. If anyone was going to challenge Yoshino it was him. Tozawa & Susumu came out, and all three bickered until Yoshino appeared. He essentially said the same thing he said earlier. He welcomed the challenge from any of them.

CIMA vs. CIBA was added as a special bonus match after intermission. CIMA had some harsh words for him afterwards. He told him his generation peers were main eventing tonight, and he didn't even have a scheduled match. Not even a dark match. While this was called a bonus match, he wondered this one or the main event was the match that fans truly considered to be a bonus. He challenged CIBA & Ryotsu to make themselves worthy of carrying the Dragon Gate banner in the future.

The rest of the Jimmys appeared in combat mode paint to save Tanizaki & Kagetora. The main was restarted into a 12 person tag match.

YAMATO & Doi interrupted the Millenials victory party after the main. YAMATO told Eita he was a terrible public speaker, and reminded him of how badly he beat him back in Sambo Hall. Doi belittled T-Hawk for being unable to beat Yoshino just three days after Doi dealt a severe amount of damage to him in Osaka. They quickly cut to the chase, they wanted a Twin Gate shot. All sides agreed, so GM Yagi made the match for a date to be decided later.



NEX 112 - 2013 Nov 11
11/11/2013 Dragon Gate Arena ~ Sanctuary.112
1. Flamita (6:45 Retador) Chihiro Tominaga
2. Yosuke♡Santa Maria (11:04 M Jigaikyaku Clutch) Mondai Ryu
3. Eita (7:13 perros) Mike Sydal
4. CIBA{W}, Ryotsu Shimizu (8:50 Caldera) U-T, Rocky Lobo{L}

The meaning of the hold Yosuke♡ won with is rather lewd. M Jigaikyaku is a pose common in pornography where the legs are spread & bent into the shape of an M. I couldn't come up with a decent way to express it in English without it being overly long so I stuck with the Japanese. Do an image search for M字開脚 if you want to see not safe for work examples.
 
New Japan World Tag League:

Block A:
- Hiroshi Tanahashi & Captain New Japan
- Shinsuke Nakamura & Tomohiro Ishii
- Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma
- Prince Devitt & Bad Luck Fale
- Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. (IWGP Tag Team Champions)
- Manabu Nakanishi & Strong Man
- Masato Tanaka & Yujiro Takahashi

Block B:
- Tetsuya Naito & La Sombra
- Kazuchika Okada & YOSHI-HASHI
- Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima
- Rob Conway & Jax Dane (NWA World Tag Team Champions)
- Minoru Suzuki & Shelton Benjamin
- Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka
- Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows

Gallows is the newest member of Bullet Club, and personally I think he is going to kill it in New Japan. He is the perfect fit.
 
You mentioned on Twitter but Anderson & Gallows does look like the perfect team to come out on top. Everyone else doesn't really need it or already has a match at Dome.

Other possibilities are Makabe & Honma (but it looks like Makabe vs Fale at Dome potentially), Yujiro & Tanaka, Conway & Dane. But i'll stick with Anderson & Gallows.

I don't know where Suzuki fits in at Dome. Maybe a big name outsider.
 
I'd quite enjoy Yujiro and Tanaka dominating. The Aliance to End NaitoMania as a nickname perhaps.

Conway & Dane would be cool but they are already made with the belts, do they really need this?

TAKA & Taichi had another one of those produce shows, and put up their spot in the Tokyo Dome 4-way against young lions Komatsu & Tanaka...and then won in two straight falls, lol.

(5) IWGP Junior Tag Team Contendership 2/3 Fall Match: TAKA Michinoku & Taichi [NJPW] vs. Sho Tanaka [NJPW] & Yohei Komatsu [NJPW]
~ Winners of the match earns the right to compete on NJPW’s WRESTLE KINGDOM 8 in the 4WAY IWGP Jr. Tag title match.
◆1st Fall: TAKA (2:18) with the Just Face Lock on Tanaka.
◆2nd Fall: Taichi (9:53) with the Taichi style Gedo Clutch on Komatsu.
~ TAKA & Taichi retain their spot and get their shot at a rematch for the IWGP Jr. Tag belts.

Show drew 123 fans (no vacancy) in a small theater in Kitasenju, and used mostly K-Dojo guys with a few indie sleaze freelancers. First show last month had an IWGP Junior Tag Title match with TAKA & Taichi def. Jado & Gedo to retain in their v1 (and only) defense.

Third show was announced for Chiba in December:

TAKA & Taichi Produce PART 3, 12/22/2013 [Sun] 12:00 @ Blue Field in Chiba
() Something Happen’s Special Battle Royal:
() TAKA Michinoku [K-DOJO] & Taichi [NJPW] vs. Toru Yano [NJPW] & Jado [NJPW]
~ more to be announced.

SOMETHING HAPPEN'S SPECIAL BATTLE ROYAL.

Anyway, could you imagine if, say, The Uso's decided to run small indie events with themselves in the main events, using a mix of WWE undercard guys, students from the Wild Samoans wrestling school, and random indie freelancers? That's what this is like. And New Japan isn't uppity about it, they are cool with it, and even allow title to be defended & official stipulation matches to take place. Because what harm does it do?
