Before they opened [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]the [COLOR=blue !important]doors[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], Gabe Sapolsky came out and explained to everyone that their ring wouldn't be arriving as scheduled as the owner of the ring they had rented had been assaulted the night before outside a club and couldn't make it. He told everyone they were working on getting another ring and if they couldn't, the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]wrestlers[/COLOR][/COLOR] would still put on a show but without the ring. Eventually, a ring was found so the show started but was delayed a bit.

Bonus Match for Golden Ringside Ticketholders:

-Aeroform defeated Zero Gravity. Flip Kendrick got the pin with a twisting moonsault.

Official Card:

-CIMA pinned Chuck Taylor with double knees from the top. A fun [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]comedy[/COLOR][/COLOR] match with some good action. Johnny Gargano came out and begged for a spot in Warriors One. Drake Younger attacked Gargano, which kicked off their match...

-Johnny Gargano pinned Drake Younger after nailing his finisher twice in a good brawl.

-Brodie Lee won a Six Way, defeating Mike Quackenbush, Rich Swann, Jimmy Jacobs, Kyle O'Reily and Silas Young after he killed Swann with a boot to the face. Crazy action!

-Dragon Kid pinned Arik Cannon with a Crucifix Bomb. OK. A decent match with Cannon holding his own.

-Ricochet pinned Gran Akuma with a 680 splash, Good but not a smooth match.

-Bryan Danielson forced Jon Moxley to tap out with the LeBell Lock after head stomps. Great match! Dragon offers Moxley his hand after but Moxley and [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Akuma[/COLOR][/COLOR] attack him. Jimmy Jacobs made the save. Danielson cut a promo after putting over Jacobs and Dragon Gate USA. No United States championship belt. Danielson bled during the match and joked during his promo afterward that he "might get fired" for it.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

I'll be at the NJ show on 10/30. Small chance for the show on 10/29.

 

[Montana]

These cards are shaping up nicely....The 29th will be a big PPV. It will be cool to see Aries in DGUSA.

[GardenStateSaint]

CIMA vs. Shingo should be nuts. Some big shows have taken place their lately but this show on 10/30 should be extra sweet.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

I wish they had more announced for 10/30, it may hurt the house draw.

 

[Montana]

What did you think of the Show? Did you go to the PPV?

 

[GardenStateSaint]

I did the NJ show and I was less than thrilled, to be polite about it.

 

[Montana]

Really?? I heard the PPV set up a handful of matches for NJ. That stinks.

I just looked over the results, and i see a few of teh matches were short. Sucks Aries was in a 6 man. I bet Cima vs. Shingo was good though.

I went to Northern Navigation and like only 150 people were there and DG still put on a pretty good show. I'm not super big on Dragon Gate. I like the wrestling, it's just i'm not big on how it's set up and the lack of storylines. I'd go see them again for sure, i just don't follow the product all that close.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

Jacobs vs. Cannon was the opener. I like Jacobs and have nothing against Cannon but as an opener I don't know why that went on first. If it opened Evolve then I totally get it but DG USA is a product that should always hit the ground running with an explosive hot opener.

Brodie Lee vs. Akebono was more or less a throwaway match. I like the "Big Rig" and stuff like this never does him justice.

Chucky T, Rich Swann & Johnny Gargano vs. Aries, Ricochet & Genki was a damn fine match and to be honest the first one I really got into but sadly it was the second to last match. I said it right after the match.....it maybe should have gone on first.

Yoshino vs. YAMATO was a fine match and I have no gripes but it didn't have that big match feel to it. But I do like what they've done with YAMATO.

Moxley & Tozawa vs. Homicide & BxB Hulk was fun but at no point did I feel it really jelled into a heated match which is tough to say when a match involves Homicide. I love BxB Hulk, Tozawa was been nothing but fun in the dozen or so matches I've seen of his, Homicide always delivers but to me Moxley is still a question mark. In a few weeks at Evolve 6 its Moxley vs. Homicide. I'll report back.

CIMA vs. Shingo was another match that was good but it would have been way more heated had this event taken place in Philly. A prime example of a match that probably would have gone over way more if it had a good crowd to draw from.

I'll still do DG USA shows but this wasn't the show I had expected or hoped for.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

BxB Hulk vs. YAMATO, Moxley & Tozawa over the course of the January triple shot is gonna be awesome. Definetly doing the NYC and NJ shows.

 

[Montana]

I think Gabe needs to figure out if Dragon Gate USA or Evolve will be the primary promotion. I'm sure this triple shot will be stacked, but at the same Evolve is slowly fading away again.

I hope DGUSA debuts in the Detroit area this year. Chikara is returning, so who knows.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

DG USA is for sure Gabe's primary focus, no doubt.

 

[GardenStateSaint]

Week away from the huge triple shot for Dragon Gate USA!

 

[Montana]

Still going to NYC and NJ? Who's your favorite in GDUSA?

These look like 3 supercards. It's kind of interesting how Gabe is booking GDUSA. He's building up BXB Hulk as a top babyface superchamp it seems, and Moxley, as a bad ass. Along with the faction wars. Every show seems like a supershow though, rather than building to own WM show. I guess it's still early in their existence.
