Dragon Gate

[Comrade Khan]

The dojo drama basically is that the trainers there are dicks to some of the rookies if they don't like them, they give special treatment to certain ones whether they like them or are a legacy like Ryoto Mochizuki or ISHIIN. Stuff like that really

usual dojo or locker room shit then, gotcha

Pretty much, but this was also like a year or so ago so everything could of changed.

Will say if Takuma Fujiwara contuines his training elsewhere, he is a star in the making

 

[Alexa]

Kind of agree. Give me Takuma Fujiwara in IMPACT

Open The Voice Gate: More details on SB KENTo and Takuma Fujiwara leaving DragonGate​

-OTVG heard about this in early May.
-Reason for SBK and Takuma leaving was "behaviour issues/misconduct." OTVG knows what the issues are, but they won't say it due to situations delicate situation thanks to Japanese culture.
-From both Mexico and Japan side the message is same. The pair won't continue wrestling in DragonGate.
-Mid May SBK stops following the DG president Kido on social media.
-Late May DG alumni tweets about the pair being part of DG, alumni gets a call from the DG office to not associate the pair with DG and the tweet was deleted.
-Technically both are still part of DG as they are on the roster page, but the relationship is over.
-There is apparently no real bad blood between the pair and the promotion.
-SBK and Takuma are now staying in Mexico and are trying to find bookings there. Apparently Konnan/AAA are interested in these two. SBK has US work visa, but Takuma doesn't.

The podcast starts with the SBK/Takuma talk and goes into how DG has survived similar departures before. All in all it is an easy listen and especially the talk about DGs talent pipeline and how they are doing now regarding that is really good one. If you don't know much about DragonGate, it is definitely worth listening till the show reviews portion.



On the latest VOW Flagship Podcast Joe and Rich told basically the same thing, they won't say what the issues are, but it is easy to connect the dots. They made it even easier by saying that for wrestlers in US the "behaviour issues/misconduct" are a commonplace and you would never get into trouble for it and it is very easily available in Mexico. They continued that SBK/Takuma seem to be fine with staying in Mexico and finding work there.


sounds like they smoke weed @Sasha

I'd love for Japan to join us in the modern world on certain issues one day

Yeah, listen to podcast the other day, and yeah sounds like that is what they did. I also figured they left given that Dragon gate really has been gettinga good rep as of late so, and yeah if they did as long as it wa son their time and not like before a match then that is fine by me.

Yeah, Japan is a bit weird they both forward and backward at the same time

Yeah, like I said it is weird. Like even with the LGBTQ thing, they may not like it, but you arent going get some dipshit in your face saying "Fuck you, I hope you die: like in America

 

[Comrade Khan]

yeah its more family shame and like...societal shame if you are in a gay relationship from what I hear. I think it will change though, they have a super old aging population. once all the old fucks die out they are prime for change

Pretty much and their idea f converstatism is quite the same as the states so, but yeah I think once a younger generation takes over then more things will chnage for the better hopefully

Diamante has been unmasked, and these are some the following things people have said about him. His name is Luis Meza owing to his and his father's former ring names of Cinico Meza for the father, and Chamaco Meza for the recently unmasked. He was born on February 14th 1992 in Monclova, Coahuila, trained by his father, Astuto and Satánico and a few others (there wasn't any names given), and may be related to either the Casas dynasty (married one of Negro Casas' daughters) or the Moro dynasty (married one of Brillante's daughters, i.e., one of Andrade El Ídolo's sisters), but there are conflicting results, he debuted on November 19th 2007, and his most known name was Principe Diamante, when he was a part of CMLL.

Madoka Kikuta will end up winning the King of Gate tournament, which I don't have a problem with that given how they have named him one of their new six aces.
