>To all relevant parties and fans,

>We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support of DRAGONGATE’s activities.

>We have recently become aware that a former DRAGONGATE contracted wrestler has disseminated information containing numerous false statements, implying as though our company and related parties were involved in serious illegal conduct in the past.

>At the same time, we will continue to position compliance as our highest priority and will work toward the further development of DRAGONGATE. We sincerely ask that you do not casually believe or spread false information.

>We are truly sorry for the concern this has caused. We respectfully ask for your continued support of DRAGONGATE’s activities going forward.

Kento made some comments about Kuma being a former W1 guy. If Kento sticks to that theme Ashino and Honda will likely be future challengers. With the current schedule I could see Kento squeezing in a defense against Ashino then having to face Honda after the Champion Carnival if Honda wins the Carnival.

Thinking about picking up Wrestle Universe, which of the promotions on there do you think is the best to dive into first? My first thought is Noah since I caught some Kaito, GO and Kenoh matches in the past with each of them going against each other and they've always been great from what i've seen but that was years ago and I don't really know much about the modern state of the promotion outside of those three.

NOAH works pretty similar to NJPW and AJPW so it's easy to pick up and watch and after a few shows you'll get a sense of the major names and factions. DDT has solid matches too but it can take a little more to adjust to at first because of the low card comedy matches even if the higher card matches don't feature much or any comedy.

>>20097397
It's not like AEW who just hire people on a whim with an already super bloated roster either. There are actual spots that need to be filled, so this isn't as offensive as other poaching attempts.

>[Zero1] Katsuhiko Nakajima wins his first-ever singles match with Hayabusa: “I savored the current Hayabusa to the fullest.”

>At Shinsei Zero1’s March 20 event at Tokyo’s Shin-Kiba 1st RING, “XX Style” Katsuhiko Nakajima (38) fought through a hard battle and defeated the “legendary immortal phoenix” Hayabusa in their first-ever one-on-one match.

>In February, Nakajima had shown up at the Zero1 dojo, leading to this singles match with Hayabusa after he said, “I’m interested in you.” At the Feb. 28 Itabashi event, Nakajima was on an upswing after defeating Zero1’s ace candidate Junya Matsunaga, and he started this match by attacking methodically. When Hayabusa targeted his right arm, Nakajima answered by damaging Hayabusa’s right knee with a dragon screw and stomps. He followed with a flurry of his trademark kicks, then cornered Hayabusa with repeated running “spear” kicks.

>Hayabusa refused to yield, firing back with a swan-dive senton and a moonsault press. After 15 minutes, they traded a backdrop and a German suplex and both went down in a fierce struggle. Hayabusa went for the finish with a Falcon Arrow into his Phoenix Splash, but Nakajima countered by raising both knees. After “shooting down” the phoenix, Nakajima sealed it with a vertical spike and a full-power Northern Lights Bomb.
>>
>>20102556

>After the decisive win, Nakajima praised his opponent and shook his hand: “I savored the current Hayabusa to the fullest. Hayabusa’s history is incredible—dense time, a wonderful history. But Katsuhiko Nakajima’s history has been its own journey too. Today felt good. I never thought it would feel this good.” He then offered Hayabusa a spot on his self-produced show on May 31 at Osaka’s Azalea Taisho Hall. Hayabusa accepted: “Of course I’ll do it. No—please let me.”

>In a post-match interview, Nakajima added: “He was beyond what I expected. I felt a similar ‘scent’ to myself. While learning the history of Hayabusa, I think he’ll create a new Hayabusa.” He also expressed interest in continuing to appear for Zero1: “As a freelancer, it’s great stimulation. If I get another offer, I want to come back.”

Streets are saying that my GOAT finally had a good match this year
>>
>>20107544
Did he? I skipped out on watching it live
>>
Just finished the 3/20 AJPW show. My only particular complaint is the show felt a little long. The actual matches were good though for the most part. The Talos match against Jun Saito was better than his match against Kento Miyahara. Atsuki & Rising Hayato was a bit too safe a choice to win the tournament but it's fine. Kuma did okay in the main event but it wasn't one of Kento's strongest defenses but I still had fun with it. Having all of the Wrestle-1 guys come out to support Kuma was a nice touch. I'm really interested in Omori's comments he made after the show though about how he's the one training the young boys in the dojo now and we'll be seeing them in the ring next month. I'm happy to hear that because AJPW has been painfully slow with cranking out talent from the dojo so if AJPW finally has that fixed that's a huge plus.
>>
>>20103011
The New Year show was a big increase compared to last year, I know that for sure. Don't know about the other shows.
>>
>>20107838
So I guess that's why Omori isn't in the Carnival? He's busy getting the rookies ready? Still doesn't explain Ashino.

I don't completely understand what's going on with the Carnival storywise. Omori is claiming he's annoyed he wasn't put in it and plans to run an unofficial "C Block" and called out Ashino and Yuma Aoyagi as people he wants to face in the block. My gut says Honda will win the Carnival and get the Triple Crown off Kento then the winner of "C Block" will be the one to challenge Honda but I could be wrong.

Yes. I don't remember the exact dates but should be around that time if im not wrong. I hink the more suspicious one is Ueno

really fun show, the goat delivers again as always
not super into the idea of ueno seemingly going through the strange love gauntlet but it’ll be fine if it ends up in a mao singles rematch
really curious why ueno isn’t in kod, little bastard does deserve a vacation though

it's a wild guess. the year mao won koddt ueno was champion and competed in the tournament so can't think anything else.
but the fact that this year suzuki minoru is competing, along with kasei and junta, is interesting

Just finished the 3/21 AJPW show. Filler show so little to comment on except I'm a little surprised AJPW is protecting Yuma Aoyagi this much since his return. He's having to wrestle a bit more toned down and be more respectful to the crowd but he isn't eating pins so far. He wrestled Hideki Suzuki to time limit in his dark match. Omori ate the pin on the 20th and in this Aoyagi pins Kofuji. Hideki Suzuki did ban him from Baka No Jidai but that doesn't seem to mean much beyond Aoyagi can't expect the faction to back him up on anything. I think AJPW is wanting Yuma to evolve as a character from the incident but I'm not sure what that final transformation will be. Also it was killing me to know what the Baka No Jidai music is and I finally found it.

He actually did. Didn’t blow any spots. Hit the rope walk DDT and the Destino perfectly. He was also bumping all over the place. Bushi mentioned Naito being down ten pounds in the backstage interview so that probably helped.

at worst he'll retire, the injury he sustained years ago is a bitch. but if he doesn't doesn't leave ddt but becomes a instructor, part of the staff (like saki akai) that would be good.
there is possibility of him announcing a comeback after undergoing another surgery (like shunma)
But he was there at yesterday show, and looked fine. He could announce a momentarily leave because his wife is pregnant/just had a child

>Announcement: Kazusada Higuchi to Retire from Professional Wrestling

>Kazusada Higuchi will retire from professional wrestling following the April 5 Tokyo Korakuen Hall event.

>During a routine health checkup regularly conducted by the organization, a subluxation of the first and second cervical vertebrae was confirmed, and the doctor diagnosed that "continuing contact sports is dangerous." In response, we have carefully reviewed and discussed the possibility of continuing his active career with Higuchi himself, the doctor, and the organization, but regrettably, we have reached the conclusion of retirement.

>Note that Higuchi will not hold a retirement match, and a retirement ceremony will be held within the same event.

>We sincerely thank all the fans who have supported Higuchi up to this point. We kindly ask for your warm cheers until the very end.

Also at the end of the conference was announced that Ueno will undergo a laser surgery to treat a retinal tear, he'll be out for a week

>Signs of a retinal tear have been observed in Yuki Ueno, so he will undergo laser surgery. Following the surgery, under the doctor's guidance, he will need to refrain from intense exercise for approximately one week, and therefore, he will be unable to participate in the March 28 Tama Minami-Osawa tournament.

>To wrestler Kazusada Higuchi: Even though it was just a few months in 2017, I cherish the time we shared in DDT's DNA. And then, your participation in GLEAT afterward—all those memories remain vivid, and you've given me wonderful experiences and recollections. I imagine retirement is a bitter decision, but everything comes down to being alive. I pray that your life after retirement will be filled with many fortunate days. Thank you.

>>20118469
Go check out his matches with Takeshita and Shuji Ishikawa. Really any of them
>>
>>20118497
Oh to be clear on this, There was no tear or anything lik that. Ueno added this surgery is happening not because of a trauma he sustained during the last match but it's just genetic stuff. Fortunately they doing regular checkups and found out that beforehand
>>
>>20118424
Really unfortunate news. Higuchi was one of my favorites when I was more active in watching DDT.

>>20118573
The fan reaction to having Aoyagi back has been really positive even if the wider puro world haven't been so thrilled. The match was apparently also aired on tv so I'm guessing AJPW just decided to let people see it and call it a day. I think Hideki Suzuki put it best in that in situations like this there isn't really one right answer so you just have to do something. He also hinted all of this will be playing part in Aoyagi potentially changing his gimmick so we'll see where that leads.

For me it's Kazusada Higuchi vs. Shuji Ishikawa (9/25/16), Go Shiozaki vs. Kazusada Higuchi (11/8/18), and Kazusada Higuchi vs. Yukio Sakaguchi (10/23/22).

I see some good match potential in this year's Carnival though I'm not super thrilled about some of the people in it. Odyssey at least does a lot of AJPW shows so I get why they gave him a slot but Cyrus is only a part timer at best. If they didn't want to use Ashino or Omori for story reasons they could have at least borrowed another Dragon Gate guy or something.

>[NOAH] OZAWA gives Tetsuya Naito an “end-of-life planning” notice — senses decline on first contact: “He’s already hit his ‘limit.’”

>NOAH’s OZAWA (29) has issued what he calls an “end-of-life planning” recommendation to Los Ingobernables de Japon (LTJ)’s Tetsuya Naito (43). With a GHC Tag Team title challenge against champions Naito & BUSHI (April 12, Nagoya) looming—OZAWA teaming with Jun Masaoka—OZAWA had his first-ever encounter with the “Ungovernable Man” at the Shinagawa show on the 25th. He says what he felt, trading blows up close, was the charisma star’s “decline.”

>On the day, OZAWA wrestled in a trio with the villain unit TEAM 2000X’s Masa Kitamiya and Takashi Sugiura against LTJ’s Naito, BUSHI, and RYUSEI. The match ended with Kitamiya pinning RYUSEI with a diving senton, bringing victory to their side.

>After his first match against Naito, OZAWA told reporters: “No matter how you look at it, he’s not in shape. You can tell just by how he runs, even before you get to the moves. Tetsuya’s already hit his ‘limit.’” He likened Naito’s wrestling life to music and cut him down: “The song called ‘Tetsuya Naito’ is already nearing its end. He might think he’s still in the ‘chorus,’ but he needs to be moving toward the finale. That’s exactly why there’s a gap between his ideal self and who he is now…”—a blunt dismissal that also presumed to analyze Naito’s mindset.
>>
>>20135392
>OZAWA then laid out his own theory: that Naito should make this an “Naito Final Season” by adopting a completely different style and moveset. “I’m still totally in the chorus myself, so it’s hard for me to give advice,” he said, before sending an overbearing suggestion anyway: “But guys like those ‘Dragons’ who kept wrestling past 70, or—can’t remember the name—‘Take-something’ whose knees were always bad… I think in their later years they dropped down a gear, two gears, three gears. So maybe he should just copy the predecessors.”

>He kept provoking ahead of the title match as well: “I just don’t want him to self-destruct. Like his knee starts hurting in the middle of the match and he can’t move, or the ropes start looking like five or six and he can’t move. I sincerely want him to at least make the match happen.” Which side will the goddess of victory smile on?
