DGUSA Nov 16-17 weekend discussion thread

[Stopspot]

Full card is out for DGUSA's show on November 16th. Looks pretty nifty if I'm being honest. Lots of Title matches.

Open The Freedom Gate Title Match
Johnny Gargano defends vs. Jimmy Susumu

Open The United Gate Title Match
The Young Bucks defend vs. The Bravado Brothers

Open The Brave Gate Title Match
Genki Horiguchi defends vs. Rich Swann

Four Way Freestyle - If AR Fox Is Pinned Or Submits He Loses The Title
EVOLVE Champion AR Fox vs. Shane Strickland vs. Andrew Everett vs. Fire Ant

Masaaki Mochizuki vs.Anthony Nese with Mr. A & Su Yung

Trent Baretta vs. Chuck Taylor

Ricochet vs. Biff Busick

Caleb Konley vs. Mr. Touchdown

Jon Davis vs. Steven Walters

This looks on paper like one of the best shows DGUSA has planned ever. Great talent from the states, great talent flown in from Japan, and interesting match ups. Only match I am iffy on is Davis vs Walters because I don't know anything about Walters. Plus with DGUSA using New York as their homebase (running most of their shows there now) they are starting to develop a steady crowd and fanbase which can only be good for attendance and the show feel. Looking forward to catching this (in 2016 if I know Gabe Sapolsky and DVDs)

I don't even think the EVOLVE 23 and 24 DVD's are out.....
Nevertheless, really good looking card.

They are finishing of Evolve 18, so they ain't that far behind on Evolve. But they just released the Freedom Fight 2012 DVD for DGUSA, which means they are one year behind on DGUSA.

JESUS.

JESUS.

Gabe is an idiot and thinks that IPPV is the way of the future. Despite time and time again proving that the slightest mistake can ruin the entire show if you air it as an IPPV.

Are there any Bravado brothers matches worth checking out from recently?

I haven't seen them since GBH 12

Their DGUSA/Evolve and RIP runs have been solid. Also they went on an extended leave to NOAH so that's something.

I knew they had been in Japan, I'm assuming they've improved a ton? Always enjoyed their matches, plus it's with the Bucks, so I'll probably be watching.

Didn't see it in the OP, but isn't this the one Chris Hero has a match in? Looks to be a phenomenal card all in all. Maybe one day I can eventually watch it.

(ETA: Never mind, that's Freedom Fight on the 17th. Wasn't looking at the calendar and got Saturday's and Sunday's dates mixed up. Still a solid lineup.)

Hero is on the night after.

Yeah, just edited to add that after I checked the dates. Thanks!
Didn't see a thread for Freedom Fight, just this one for Fearless, and got my dates mixed up.

Feel free to post the card for Freedom Fight and I'll make this into a super thread.

Thanks, Stop!

Wouldn't mind seeing both these events, but don't do the iPPVs and don't know how to watch them afterward. Should be a pretty good weekend though.

Fox and Mochizuki is the oddest couple I have seen in a long time.
@GrammarNazi82 they do online video on demand after the ppvs are done. Basically you rent it online for a set period of time. They also have a deal so that you automatically get the dvd once it is released.
