As noted earlier, the DoiYoshi unit is called WORLD-1, and their unit concept is very similar to that of Typhoon but in a younger, more interesting unit.

Shingo and Hulk both laid out Dream Gate challenges, to be the defense at World. Looks like the Kishiwada reinforced over-30 team will be challenging for the Triangle Gate soon as well. Kishiwada had a new costume today as well, with silver replacing the MO'z blue.

After the main event, for whatever reason, the freelance Tokyo Gurentai (NOSAWA Rongai, MAZADA, TAKEMURA) unit invaded. They challenged a Typhoon team for the 6/29 Osaka show.
