Some big stuff added
today.
New for 12/4 will be the beginning of a new 10 match series for Stalker. This time promises to be a series of karate related matches. His opponent for match #1 is the same opponent from the first match of his first Bosou series from 2000 - Masaji Aoyagi.
Katsuo returns for the Sapporo double header. His Okinawa Pro character Ultra Mango recently left the company to return to his home planet. Perhaps he will become a part timer.
Cyber vs. Kensuke Sasaki has been added to FINAL GATE (with little fanfare). This is their second singles match. They wrestled way back on 10/26/2007 in a match that never made it to TV.

Joel & I return with
the first of our planned Dragon System timeline podcasts. This
episode coincides with the 11th anniversary of me running my
various Toryumon/Dragon Gate related websites, so it is some
nice timing.
We talk the current events for the first 15 to 20 minutes, recapping the 11/19 Osaka show & it's fallout, and we look ahead to FINAL GATE a bit.
From there, we go back to 1997 and discuss the origins of the Ultimo Dragon Gym and how the first first class came to join. We cover their move to WCW and Michinoku Pro, onto the debut of Toryumon Japan. Finally, we look in depth at the first year and a half of the company, and all the important moments and matches from the Seikigun vs. Crazy MAX era.

*PAC fails in his 12th Defense, Ricochet becomes the 21st Champion
BW attacked Kid after match two, prompting a save from the Triangle challenger team. A large Tominaga chant erupted almost immediately. After some talk, Super Shenlong came out and asked to be put in the match in place of Tominaga. He was booed loudly, moreso than usual. Tominaga told Shenlong he should watch and study the Triangle Gate match so he could improve himself. This prompted another Tomi chant, and a Shachihoko chant.
After pinning KAGETORA, CIMA said he was cancelling the upcoming SukaTORA Twin Gate challenge. Tozawa asked CIMA to make their match on the BW show a title match. CIMA said he would decide later. KAGETORA was furious, and told CIMA he couldn't just make decisions like that. CIMA basically told him to shut up and the title match was off.
Kzy completely removed Shachihokos' mask early in the match. Shachi was taken backstage, leading to a 3 on 2 match for awhile. He re-emerged later as Shisa BOY to even the odds. The challengers were close to winning, but a powder attack turned things back to the champion team. There was some talk about Tomi joining up with JUNCTION THREE, but a definitive answer wasn't given.
Rico offered up a handshake to PAC, but naturally it lead to a sneak attack. Yoshino & Kid rebuked Rico, telling him that he certainly was not the best high flyer in the world. They both made challenges, so he decided they could fight each other to decide his first challenger. The title match will be at FINAL GATE.
CIMA said he was inspired by Ricochet. He said he wanted to change the DG logo to the BW logo. He said that BW now had all the titles but one, hinting strongly at a Dream Gate challenge.

Mochizuki said Buyuden would return next year. He said maybe he form a team with Nakajima & Hayato. Or perhaps another unit will be revived. He said Original M2K wasn't possible right now, though.

After his Buyuden
match, Katsuo will stick around for one more show. He will
return to his old stomping grounds in the Sanctuary building,
making the Shisa vs. Watanabe match into a 3 way.
When asked for comment about the Buyuden match, he said he had no clue who Tominaga or Watanabe were, but 2011 was the era of Katsuo. Granted, he has been saying this since 2007.

The traditional opening BW vs. JIII rope separated talk battle started off the show. CIMA talked about Cyber being out of the unit. He said that it didn't matter because they had Gifu local Diablo teaming up with them today. He and Tozawa took turns mocking Susumu for being boring and wondered why he was in the main event. Susumu said he may be boring, but he was still going to beat them. Gamma turned to Diablo, since they have a bit of a history as friends (they frequently were partners when DG runs Gifu since Diablo is on most shows from the area). He vowed to beat him today. Unfortunately he had Shenlong as a partner.
Incidentally, Ichikawa is a Gifu local. This makes his title loss extra painful.

A couple news bits.
After the way BW turned on him, Kong seems to be happy to be away from them. He said that he lost, so what is done is done. He would just become the king of beasts and wreak new havoc in the ring on his own.
Meanwhile, BW were also quick to move on. They badmouthed him a bit more backstage. Then Tozawa said that things were all going according to plan. He was looking forward to the 12/1 Korakuen, as was Hulk. So, the two appear to have something big planned.
CIMA said with Uhaa Nation coming they didn't need Kong anyway. With Nation & Ricochet, BW would now have both the top power fighter and high flyer from America.
The 12/20 Korakuen Hall show will receive a live special on Gaora. Hopefully this becomes a common occurrence.
Fujii & Ishii finished with 4 points in the G1 Tag League. They lost to Togi Makabe & Satoshi Kojima on the 3rd. Fujii will still be there for the night of the finals. He will be in an 8 man tag.

JIII celebrated their win. Saito said it wasn't a perfect win since he & Horiguchi both won. KAGETORA said it was a cheap win, since Horiguchi needed a low blow. Both sides agreed to a match, but Saito said they wouldn't be waiting until next month. They had a quick match. KAGETORA said the win over Maraha Isappa showed the power he & Susumu had as a team, and they would use it to win the Twin Gate.
Kong is now kicked out of Blood Warriors. His former teammates weren't sympathetic. Tozawa said that a loser was a loser. Hulk said he didn't care. Doi called the end of the Bosoujyuu team. CIMA said someone who gives up in such a situation wasn't necessary.
He demanded a chance for some revenge, so he will get a singles match with YAMATO next month in Korakuen.
Also set for the December Korakuen is the Spike Mohicans vs. Yokosuka Ichoume Twin Gate match.

6. Open the Dream Gate: Masaaki Mochizuki (27:26 Sankakugeri to the Face) Ryo Saito
*6th Defense for Mochizuki
Saito revealed his big plan. He was backing out of the main event. He said there was nothing in it for him to do the match, so he was boycotting unless the Dream Gate was put up. After some arguing, Yagi gave the GO sign for it to become a title match. So, Mochizuki will be making his 6th defense tonight! He promised to obliterate Saitos' jaw with kicks.
Yokosuka Ichoume made a challenge to the Twin Gate after their wins yesterday and today.
After the main event, it was time for Doi Darts Second. This time around, it was to decide the next Triangle Gate challenging team on the 19th. The unaffiliated and comedy roster members were added to the board. Doi said he was reserving a spot for Gamma, so he could exact revenge on him for destroying the last board. Gamma was pleased. However, Doi added that as a penalty for his free spot, he would also have to compete in the opening match that day. Then it came time for the game. The first target hit was.............Shachihoko Machine! The second was even more shocking......Chihiro Tominaga .... !
Gamma was less than pleased. He asked if he still had to do two matches, since his team was penalty enough. Doi refused. However, he was going to waive the two count rules for this one. He said he may regret that, since the opposing team was so strong.
So, as of now....

A quick backstage
follow up from Sambo Hall....
Kotoka was deeply affected by Kandas' insults. He mentioned the impending arrival of yet another BW sponsored foreigner, Uhaa Nation. He said with the constant influx of talent from DGUSA, he has had fewer and fewer chances to improve and make an impact. Thus, even though he has no idea what kind of fighter Uhaa is, he is challenging him to a match. It came across like it was a challenge for the BW show on 11/30, but it could also just be a general challenge. Either way, Kotoka probably should have done some research before laying this one out there.

Kanda berated Kotoka for his continued lack of growth. He said he should be ashamed of himself for not accomplishing anything in his career.
Mochizuki brought up the problems in JIII, particularly the alarming Osaka 06 reunion from the DG:UK shows. CIMA said Gamma asked him. Gamma responded by avoiding the subject. Still, Mochizuki said he trusted his stablemate and they shook hands.
After the main, Saito said he had something big planned for tomorrow.
CIMA then told Mochizuki the real reason for the Osaka 06 revival. He said the promotor of the shows e-mailed them both in English. Gamma didn't understand it, so he didn't reply to say no. CIMA accused Gamma of thinking it was spam or a chain mail. So, Gamma and Mochizuki have reconciled their problems. Perhaps Mochizuki is now mad at Mark Sloan.
Doi (who wrestled in Cyber Kong themed gear & mask earlier), came out to give a sneak peak at the Doi Darts Second that will go down in Kyoto tomorrow. He said that the leveled up version of the wildly popular game wouldn't just be related to BW & JIII, but the unaligned and comedy divisions would also be involved......Tomorrow can't come soon enough.
