GM TARU made his presence felt here. First, he demanded that the UWA Tag titles be revived. It seems the Tokyo Gurentai team either were the last champions, or TARU is giving them a free pass to the decision match. Conveniently, KAGETORA and Kota decided they wanted to form a team after their great match in December. TARU gave them a tough first opponent, they will be facing the Voodoo Murders version of Kondo and YASSHI, teaming for the first time in the Dorado ring since 2006.
Aagan-iisou again had a mini revival in the main, but YASSHI and Kondo didn't stick around to share any sort of love. Owashi however remained, and offered his hand to Sugawara. They shook hands, and Suga will be aligned with Animal Planets for the time being.
Kishiwada intruded again, this time attacking Kondo at a signing table. TARU overruled Kondo and Owashis' veto on Kishiwada, and the Kishiwada vs. Tanizaki match for Korakuen will go ahead as planned.

23 Jan 2008 - () - Dragon Gate - Mochi wins title

Mochi traveled to Korakuen Hall for Zero 1 MAX today. He faced Ikuto Hidaka for the International Junior Heavyweight title. He succeeded, winning in 13:54 with the Ikkakugeri. Mochi joins Yoshino as a 3 crown champion. Mochi holds the International Junior, Triangle Gate, .........and Owarai Gate.

After the match, Mochi was attacked by none other than El Blazer. Their eventual match would be the first time Blazer has been involved with anyone from the Dragon Gate side since his Mini CIMA days.

An interesting side story to the Araken/GOEMON match. When Araken was first attempting to break in as a pro wrestler, it was 17 years ago for FMW.

14 Jan 2008 - () - Dragon Gate - NEX-1 2008, Tozawa

The NEX-1 tournament will occur again this year. This time entirely on NEX shows, Sanctuary 24 and 25 on the 21st and 28th. The field will be Tozawa, Katsuo, Kouji Shishido, m.c.KZ, Lupin Matsutani, Shisa BOY, Super Shenlong 2, and Dr. Muscle.

Perhaps looking to mimic the success found by Katsuo, Tozawa has begun a massive bulk up. He is over 90kg now, with a large stomach to rival Katsuos'.......

As part of the post match talking, CIMA promised a Dragon Gate show in Los Angeles this year. With WrestleJAM taking place in January, this could mean that the customary July break will be time for the planned US invasion.

In totally unrelated news, Don Fujii will have to miss WrestleJAM for unknown reasons.

Nothing has been announced for their January shows yet. A couple things of note. Magnitude Kishiwada has been formally announced as participating for Dorado in the future. In Korakuen on the 29th, Shuji Kondo told him "As long as you are participating on the other side, don't come to this ring". Perhaps Kishiwadas' time in DG is finally coming to an end. Kishiwada will also formally be joining up with the Tokyo Gurentai group in this coming year (NOSAWA Rongai, MAZADA, Katsushi Takemura). The TARU as GM era begins in February, and there are 2 matches announced already for that show.
