​

Some familiar names and some not so familiar names for me.

Aries in the mainevent makes sense since he is the biggest draw there plus the guy can wrestle. I have heard of YAMATO but I haven't seen his work.

I didn't realise that Pac was working outside of the UK on a regular basis. I remember a couple of years ago he was the big newcomer in the UK wrestling scene and it is good to see that he has made it around the world.

A few other notable names and then some that I don't have a clue about.

Any DGUSA fans out there that can inform me about some of these japanese wrestlers? What do you think of the card?​

It is a strong looking card, names that are big on the indie scene which may not have appeared on Dragongate shows in the past, and top international and up and coming talent. It is just a shame this is the same weekend as the ROH and Wrestlemania other wise I would order this.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Yeah Gabe has a great product but the ROH cards are a little bet than this. DGUSA is my favorite product out there and some of these could be really good. The four matches below look really solid.

Not a big fan of Pac mind you, I think this guy sums up for me what the term spot monkey means, and there is no build up to it, he has no sense of pacing, about a minute into a match he is doing the flip-floping around the ring thing. IMO he is one of the most overrated talents on the Indie scene.
