The Jimmys, with a conservatively dressed Kong in tow, opened the
show with a quick conversation about their upcoming main event &
title matches. They also discussed Tanizaki winning back in Sambo to
get his name back. Susumu held a microphone the whole time but
didn't say a single word.
MB attacked after the opener, and had a quick verbal battle with the
Jimmys in advance of their match later.
Yoshino announced that Rich Swann would be returning to Japan for
the first time since World 2012. For whatever reason, Mr. Don Fujii
took exception to this. Then Kagetora came out for no reason to
remind Fujii that he was the real top drinker of Dragon Gate. He
began to sing a song about drinking, which gave Yagi some
inspiration for a match. Swann, Fujii, & Kagetora will face off in a
3 way match next month in Korakuen. There will be 3 falls. One for
wrestling, one for drinking, one for singing.
K-ness challenged Takagi to a singles match. Takagi eventually
decided to accept, since he was taught to be kind to the elderly. He
told K-ness that if he really wanted to go through with it, it would
be the last match he ever wrestled and he would need a miracle to
survive. K-ness told him that he doesn't wait for miracles, he makes
them. It was set for the March Korakuen.
Araken further provoked -akatsuki-, saying that they failed as a
unit. Despite all their plans for raising up Tommy & Shenlong it was
still just Takagi & YAMATO. Even Kotoka has shown more growth
recently. This prompted a bit of a skirmish with Shenlong. Arai
laughed this off, but admitted the masked man at least showed some
spirit. He still wondered what Tommy was good for. YAMATO slapped
Tominaga for no particular reason, then berated Windows & Kotoka. He
told them to go back to minding the merchandise table. Kotoka stood
up to him, leading to a proposal for a 6 man tag. It was also set
for next month. It will be Arai, Kotoka, & X vs. YAMATO, Shenlong, &
Tominaga.
The identity of X was revealed later. Windows came out after the
main and told Cyber that he had one unit left to audition for. Since
K-ness & himself don't do the house show circuit, Kong could be the
Windows centerpiece for those events. He invited him to join up for
the match next month. Cyber agreed with a firm handshake. Hulk
stopped him on the way out, telling him he was still just a useless
pig who would suck no matter where he ends up.
Penguin took the microphone next. He told Tanizaki to make sure and
say a proper farewell to Korakuen because this would be his last
time here. He was going to be out of DG after MEMORIAL GATE on
Monday. Tanizaki told him that he wasn't taking the stipulation
seriously. DG was his home, and he understood the gravity of being
exiled from it.
Horiguchi lead the fans in a sing-a-long and full crowd Jimmys Train
to close things out on a celebratory note.
