Dragon Gate 2018: Open The Revival Gate

ImWreck · November 7, 2018

2018 hasn't been a good year for Dragon Gate. The once cult favorite promotion has had a harsh year. First was losing CIMA to the greener pastures of OWE and the freelancing, it didn't help that the original Ace of DG took not one but TWO future stars in El Lindaman and T-Hawk. The second loss was Shingo Takagi graduating/leaving to pursue a run in NJPW.

Luckily hope comes not in just one form but two. First, the return of PAC to not just DG but wrestling as a whole. Second is a brand new head of creative and a returning face to the Dragon Gate system.

The eternally charismatic and criminally underrated MILANO COLLECTION AT as he returns to his former home promotion in over thirteen years.

All eyes are on Dragon Gate as they have the hottest free agent in wrestling and a brand new head of creative. With a locker room of hungry and determined wrestlers, all wanting to take Dragon Gate to a much higher level than before.

It's time to Open The Revival Gate as we head towards 2019.

Originally a rag-tag group of babyfaces to take on the heel unit of the time Verserk. The group has become a great blend of older talent and young rising stars. Currently, the group is co-lead by current Twin Gate Champions YAMATO and BxB Hulk. Tribe Vanguard continues to lead from the front as the main face unit against their war against all of the heel/evil units of Dragon Gate. Championships under their possession: - Open The Twin Gate Championship (YAMATO and BxB Hulk) </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45997" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="latest?cb=20170726203239" data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/puroresusystem/images/a/ae/MaxiMuM.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170726203239" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Members <img alt="uIrACwW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uIrACwW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="L21mwEC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/L21mwEC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IRe67jB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IRe67jB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Vk967pk.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vk967pk.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GzzLjOJ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GzzLjOJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Left to Right: Masato Yoshino l Naruki Doi l Dragon Kid l Jason Lee l Kaito Ishida Info: If Tribe Vanguard can be considered as the more traditional babyface unit then I guess you could MaxiMuM as a more face-ish tweener group. Considered to be the "elite" of athleticism in Dragon Gate, the group has seen some massive changes since Kobe World as two of their notable members had turned on Doi and Yoshino to the surprise of everyone. Currently, the unit is co-lead by Dream Gate Champion Masato Yoshino and Naruki Doi. Championships under their possession: - Open The Dream Gate Championship (Yoshino) - Open The Brave Gate Championship (Dragon Kid) </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45997" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="latest?cb=20180929144341" data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/puroresusystem/images/6/61/REDlogo.png/revision/latest?cb=20180929144341" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Members: <img alt="gUQidWV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gUQidWV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Efm5vrm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Efm5vrm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3tLjq0L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3tLjq0L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pN5FugD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pN5FugD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EeP3lo9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EeP3lo9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5Yhi43Z.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5Yhi43Z.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7OXybIh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7OXybIh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nfzg9Mw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nfzg9Mw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7rpEYZ0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7rpEYZ0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Left to Right: Eita (Leader) l Keisuke Okuda l PAC l Ben-K l Big R Shimizu l Takashi Yoshida l Yasushi Kanda l Daga l KAZMA Sakamoto Info: ANTIAS, Verserk or whatever other names you have for this unit.

Currently, the group has largest amounts of members ranging from Technical masters like Okuda and Eita to Villainous superstars like PAC and destructive power wrestlers like Ben-K, Big R and Yoshida. DG is known for some of the best heel units like Mad Blankey and Blood Warriors, only time will tell if R.E.D. will be just as good as those units. Currently, the unit is led by Eita. Championships under their possession None at the current moment.</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45997" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="latest?cb=20180504215130" data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/puroresusystem/images/6/63/NaturalVibes.png/revision/latest?cb=20180504215130" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Members <img alt="GAsHA0F.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GAsHA0F.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5dEgiSW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5dEgiSW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="qcI3lUb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/qcI3lUb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="HsHahxx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HsHahxx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6ikuhlt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6ikuhlt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Left to Right: Kzy (Leader) l Susumu Yokosuka l Genki Horiguchi l Punch Tominaga l "brother" YASSHI Info After leaving Tribe Vanguard, Kzy refused to join ANTIAS which got him assaulted by the heel unit until Genki Horiguchi and Susumu Yokosuka came in for the save. Since then Natural Vibes got bigger as it's now a five-man unit with Kzy himself being the focus. Natural Vibes started elaborating their own entrances, which include dancing through the crowd and dance sequences in the ring, and whenever usually Kzy or sometimes YASSHI is around both of them started rapping during their theme song. I guess you could call this unit more of a fun babyface unit while MaxiMuM and Tribe tend to be more serious at times. Currently, the group is led by Kzy who is one-third of the Triangle Gate champs alongside Genki and Susumu. Championships under their possession: None at the current moment.</div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45997" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="latest?cb=20170803133507" data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/puroresusystem/images/3/3c/Dglogo3.png/revision/latest?cb=20170803133507" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Factionless <img alt="HvmSUgc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HvmSUgc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jAUoxkn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jAUoxkn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="um7b2rZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/um7b2rZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2KdKZ7s.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2KdKZ7s.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="b62eKiv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/b62eKiv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VDm7JMe.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VDm7JMe.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="lFx4dIH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lFx4dIH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AIWNQdr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AIWNQdr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2QuccFm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2QuccFm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Yg5U3mp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Yg5U3mp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="D2B1LE6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/D2B1LE6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zAqFpxp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zAqFpxp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kBpRmgG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kBpRmgG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="mXgnsZp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mXgnsZp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Left to Right: Masaaki Mochizuki l Bandido l Don Fujii l Gamma l Kenichiro Arai l Ryo Saito l Shun Skywalker l Mondai Ryu l Shachihoko Boy l Stalker Ichikawa l Super Shisa l Hyo Watanabe l Koji Iwamoto l Yuki Yoshioka Subgroups/Tag Teams: - Mochizuki Dojo (Masaaki Mochizuki, Shun Skywalker, Koji Iwamoto and Hyo Watanabe) - Gamma and Don Fujii</div></div></blockquote>

Cool to see some Dragon Gate on the board.

Gate of Destiny 2018 Card for predictions:

Main Event/Open The Dream Gate Championship

Masato Yoshino © vs. Ben-K

Even tho Yoshino in real life seems like a transitional champ. Not sure if Ben-K is the one to get a strap

Semi-Main/Open The Twin Gate Championship

Tribe Vanguard/YAMAHulk (YAMATO and BxB Hulk) © vs. R.E.D. (Big R Shimizu and Takashi Yoshida)

Tribe is more over and this isn't R.E.D.

International Singles Match

PAC vs. Flamita

PAC losing seems counter intuitive to the whole Neville being the big new member of R.E.D/I]

Open The Brave Gate Championship

Dragon Kid © vs. Bandido

Only because Dragon kid is pushing it age wise

Open The Triangle Gate Championship

Natural Vibes (Kzy, Genki Horiguchi, and Susumu Yokosuka) © vs. MaxiMuM (Naruki Doi, Kaito Ishida, and Jason Lee) vs. Mochizuki Dojo (Masaaki Mochizuki, Shun Skywalker and ???)

Mystery people have never steered me wrong

Six-Man Tag Match

R.E.D. (Eita, Daga, and Yasushi Kanda) vs. Tribe Vanguard (U-T, Yosuke♥Santa Maria and Kagetora)

I really hope we get a huge Eita push since real life factors in Dragon gate dont hinder TEW too much

Six-Man Tag Match

Don Fujii, Gamma, and Ryo Saito vs. Punch Tominaga, "brother" YASSHI and Hyo Watanabe.

Big YASSHI fan too

Bonus Point Question. Who do you believe is Mochizuki Dojo's newest member? I'm gonna go with KAI.

Dragon Gate presents The Gate of Destiny 2018

LIVE from Edion Arena Osaka and available on DG Network

Commentary by Katsuya Ichikawa and Milano Collection AT

Opening Contest/Six-Man Tag

In a solid opening contest, the team of Don Fujii, Gamma, and Ryo Saito defeated Punch Tominaga, "brother" YASSHI and Hyo Watanabe in 9:22 after Saito hit Hyo with a Dragon Suplex. C-

Match 2/Six-Man Tag

In a great bout featuring great action, R.E.D. (Eita, Daga, and Yasushi Kanda) defeated Tribe Vanguard (U-T, Yosuke♥Santa Maria, and Kagetora) in 13 minutes after Eita hit Kagetora with a Totem Killer! C+

Eita continues to prove his value as a future mega-star for Dragon Gate. Hopefully, I can get him over to the point where he is treated as a real main eventer. Daga was impressive as well in his debut, I like the idea of him working alongside Eita and Kanda. Meanwhile, on Tribe Vanguard side U-T's great growth continues as he's getting better and better with every match.

**Pre-Match Segment**
As Shun and Masaaki made their way down to the ring to Mochi's GOAT theme "Kizudarake no Eikou", Milano and Katsuya talked about who could be Mochizuki Dojo's mystery partner. Apparently, all we know is that it's someone who knows Mochi really well thanks to him and Shun heading to All Japan in the summer for Jr. Battle of Glory.

The two of them already have gotten to the ring as soon, the music changes to "Full Force" by Rider Chips and we wait for the entrant as he's wearing a red hoodie over his ring. The crowd is shocked at who it is and the commentators are speechless! IT'S KOJI IWAMOTO! THE FORMER WORLD JUNIOR CHAMP! Mochizuki and Shun were happy to see their partner get such a reception from the audience! C-

Koji is someone I really liked in the ring and thought he deserved a better stage to compete on, plus he has that Judo Style of wrestling I enjoy so much. Also, his IRL theme isn't "Full Force" but I like the track much more for Koji instead of "Birth Battle". I feel like he has all the making of a main eventer and maybe pairing with Mochi might make that happen.

Match 3/Open The Triangle Gate Championship Match:

In a fantastic match featuring great action and solid amount of heat, Mochizuki Dojo (Masaaki Mochizuki, Shun Skywalker and Koji Iwamoto) defeated Natural Vibes (Kzy, Susumu Yokosuka and Genki Horiguchi) and MaxiMuM (Naruki Doi, Jason Lee and Kaito Ishida) 14:36 after Koji of Mochi Dojo pinned Kaito Ishida with a Koko no Geijutsu (snap judo arm throw). B-

Mochizuki Dojo is your 64th Open The Triangle Gate Champions!

Everyone killed it in this match, Kzy showed why there was so much hype about his run this year, Naruki is always consistent regardless of what company I bring him in and Mochizuki is still proving why he's having a great revival of his legendary career. Iwamoto's debut was better than expected and of course, with Mochi Dojo as Triangle Gate holders, it means Kzy is free to pursue other things.

Match 4/Open The Brave Gate Championship Match

In a great bout between both competitors, Dragon Kid defeated Bandido in 13:11 after countering a Shooting Star Press by getting his knees up and rolling up Bandido. C+

Dragon Kid makes defense number 1 of his Open The Brave Gate Championship

I was honestly going back and forth between Bandido either winning or Kid retaining but instead deciding that Bandido could do much more if he was competing for a different title right now. As much as Bandido is an amazing 23-year old wrestler, I might have him wait a bit before he runs the Brave Gate title scene.

**Segment backstage**
Backstage, a frustrated Bandido isn't happy about his loss right now but he is soon confronted by his tag partner outside of Dragon Gate, Flamita. It seems Flamita is offering Bandido a spot in Tribe Vanguard, he believes YAMATO and Hulk would gladly accept him into the group and all it would take is some convincing from Flamita. As he tells Bandido that, Kagetora tells him that his match is coming up next. D+

I never expected this segment to do well as both Flamita and Bandido can barely speak Japanese and aren't great on the mic but I wanted to start this storyline to give Flamita and Bandido something bigger.

Match 5/International Singles Match

In a fantastic match between two of best high-flyers in the world, PAC defeated Flamita in 18 minutes with a Black Arrow! B-

IRL this match was kind of disappointing but luckily TEW believed this match was great and definitely! I'm really glad PAC got a fantastic rating and right now we should be thanking the gods that DG brought him back.

**Post-Match Segment**
It seems that PAC and his R.E.D. (Kanda, Eita, and Daga) are gonna take out Flamita but suddenly from the back, out rush YSM, Kagetora, U-T, AND BANDIDO! Tribe and Bandido rush over as R.E.D decide to back off and retreat. Once Flamita is helped back to his feet, Bandido looks at his PROGRESS tag partner and tells him he will take his offer of being a Tribe Vanguard member. C

This is it, my idea with Bandido as I really feel like he and Flamita would be a great team for Tribe if YAMAHulk ever lost the Twin Gate titles but for now, we've got Bandido as a potential member of Tribe Vanguard.

Semi-Main/Open The Twin Gate Championship Match

Tonight's Semi-Main was fantastic as YAMAHulk were able to defeat R.E.D. members Big R Shimizu and Takashi Yoshida in 20:55 when Hulk pinned Yoshida after YAMAHulk's First Flash/Ragnarok combination! C

YAMAHulk make successful defense number 5 of their Open The Twin Gate Championship.

Tribe is just more over tbh, I love me some Shimizu but YAMAHulk had this defense in the bag as I can't see them dropping the belts soon for me. For a lot of people, this has been a revival for both men after Hulk horrible downfall and YAMATO's uninteresting Dream Gate reign.

Unfortunately, Yoshida and Shimizu didn't click as a team which means Shimizu might be relegated to a smaller role or returns to teaming with Ben-K as Big Ben, not a clue with what to do with Yoshida and tbh I have a much better power wrestler outside of DG who I think could do well in the company

Main Event/Open The Dream Gate Championship Match

The main event was great but something tells me it just got overshadowed by YAMAHulk/R.E.D and PAC/Flamita. Either way "Speed Star" Masato Yoshino defeated "The Oriental Weapon" Ben-K in 23 minutes exact with a Lightning Spiral! B-

Masato Yoshino makes successful defense number 5 of his Open The Dream Gate Championship!

LET'S GO BEN-K!!! That's my boy right there, so proud that he stepped up for this match and Yoshino is also deserving of great praise as he really showed why he was given both King of Gate and the Dream Gate. Give Ben-K a year and he'll be a fantastic worker for this company. tbh there was a small thought in my head that actually wanted to give Ben-K but I really was to try this upcoming storyline that you will get to see.

**Post Match Segment**
Yoshino was in charge of tonight's post-match promo as he thanked the amazing crowd in Osaka for coming out. He soon told Ben-K who was being helped out to the back that respect he had lost for his former stablemate for turning on him may have returned after this match. Once he was finished to putting over Yoshino wanted to know which member of R.E.D. would step up to challenge him but to the shock of everyone, it wasn't a member of R.E.D. but...

BXB HULK!! What was Hulk doing out here, was he gonna be the next person to step up to Yoshino? As BxB got into the ring, he looked right at Yoshino before pointing at the Dream Gate title.

BxB Hulk: That title has eluded me for so long but not anymore, Yoshino. You vs. Me at Final Gate, what do you say?

Yoshino: Your challenge is accepted, Hulk but I want to know what took you so long? Why now Hulk, what's taken you this long to confront a Dream Gate Champion?

The crowd chants Hulk's name in response as he soon only mouths because this could be my final shot at that title before leaving. As he does all Masato has to say is to get himself out of this broken down kind of state he's in and return to who Hulk used to be by December 9th or else he'll have no chance in defeating him for the Dream Gate Champion! C+

This is it, my main event angle for Final Gate. BxB Hulk's last possible title shot for the Dream Gate Championship. I'm guessing IRL DG would be building this up after YAMAHulk loses their belt but I needed to use this idea rn as I don't think Hulk has been a more viable and threatening challenger for the Dream Gate since dropping the belt in his first reign. Maybe being Twin Gate Champ going into this match might not be a good thing but who knows, we'll just have to wait for this angle to officially start.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="jIKT8sd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jIKT8sd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Dragon Gate Presents Gate Of Evolution/Final Gate Tour</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45997" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> Dragon Gate is back on tour as we head towards Final Gate at KBS Hall in Kyoto. And the main event of the show is set! BxB Hulk vs. Masato Yoshino. Both men looking to head into the new year as Dream Gate Champion and for BxB it means much more. His broken-down body has caught up to him and he believes this could be his last opportunity at Dream Gate Champion. On the other hand, Masato is having his best year so far and at an all-time career high. Could this the end of BxB Hulk's time as a contender for the Dream Gate Championship or will he reign victorious and cement himself as one of the greatest competitors in Dragon Gate history? Meanwhile, it seems there are some internal problems between Tribe Vanguard. YAMATO doesn't believe that Bandido is loyal enough to Dragon Gate to deserve a spot in Tribe Vanguard. Bandido's partner outside of Dragon Gate, Flamita believes that YAMATO is wrong and Bandido deserves a shot to be in the stable. So a match was set for Final Gate by "The Almighty" himself if Bandido wins he will earn a spot as a Tribe Vanguard but if he can't defeat YAMATO, not only will he not join the faction but Flamita's spot in Tribe will be compromised. In this feud, a majority of Tribe has been split apart and broken into two sides. Flamita, U-T and Bandido are together while YAMATO has Maria and Kagetora to back him up meanwhile BxB is siding with no one as he is extremely focused on his Dream Gate feud with Yoshino. Dragon Gate's big signing Koji Iwamoto has entered a new time of his career, brought in by Masaaki Mochizuki to learn about the business before he can truly take off as the massive superstar that he really is. Heading into Final Gate Mochi-Dojo has some unexpected challenger for the Triangle Gate Titles in the form of Ryo Saito, Gamma, and Mondai Ryu?! Don Fujii suffered a minor injury and won't be making an appearance at Final Gate but in return has Mondai Ryu take up his place in the Triangle Gate match that the old men earned at Gate of Destiny. Naruki Doi has had it! He's had enough of R.E.D. running around Dragon Gate and doing whatever they feel like. It's time to end this between both MaxiMuM and RED, he challenges Eita to a match for KBS Hall which is immediately turned into a Six Man Tag match with the one who takes the fall being forced out of the stable! President Milano Collection declares this match official and set for Final Gate. From MaxiMuM it is, of course, Doi, Kaito, and Jason to step up while Eita selects himself, PAC and Takashi Yoshida. While this was happening Keisuke Okuda pinned Dragon Kid clean and made it clear that he wants his Brave Gate Championship and the match is set for Brave Gate. These are my major feuds going into Final Gate and I will have the last two Korakuen Hall show cards before Final Gate up as soon as I can. This will kind of be the formula with my shows as recap a majority of matches and give you guys the last two house shows. For now, enjoy looking at the set matches for Final Gate 2018! Main Event/Open The Dream Gate Championship Match "Speedstar" Masato Yoshino © vs. "PURE AS SNOW" BxB Hulk Semi-Main/Special Six Man Tag Match with LOSER LEAVES FACTION MaxiMuM (Naruki Doi, Kaito Ishida, and Jason Lee) vs. RED (Eita, PAC, and Takashi Yoshida) Special Singles Match/Bandido wins and he's in Tribe but if he loses Flamita must leave Tribe "The Almighty" YAMATO vs. "The Elite Luchador" Bandido Open The Brave Gate Championship Match Dragon Kid © vs. Keisuke Okuda Open The Triangle Gate Championship Match Mochizuki Dojo (Masaaki Mochizuki, Koji Iwamoto, and Shun Skywalker) © vs. Mondai Ryu, Ryo Saito, and Gamma Rest of the card will be added after the last two Korakuen Hall shows before Final Gate. </div></div></blockquote>
