Watching it the first time, the last 4-5 minutes features Yoshino a lot, but after a second viewing, Doi and Dragon Kid are definitely MVPs of this match.

Seriously, you guys remember the super duper hurricanrana from the first DG 6 man? Well...prepare to cream when you see what they have in store with that spot.

That's another thing I like about the yearly DG 6 man. They are always playing off their previous match somehow. I'm sure next year will have another 6 man, but I'd love to see DG use one of their other special tag matches like the 3 team tag match.

A 3 team tag match would quite literally cause the ROH fans that aren't familiar with DG (if that's at all possible anymore) to collectively jizz.

And I like how you never spoiled anything about the super hurricanrana spot, but make it seem awesome as well... your fucking killing me, man lol.

I'm looking forward to this year's 6man more than last's actually, not just because it seems to be getting better respenses, but because it's the same 6 guys as the original and, like you said, they're always playing off of the previous ones, meaning it should have some sweet throwbacks to 2006 (like the super hurricanrana spot you mentioned).

Anyway, just got done with this:

Masato Tanaka & Ikuto Hidaka v Koji Kanemoto & Ryuske Taguchi (Zero-1, 3/2/08)

Another great match involving Masato Tanaka in 2008 - shocker I know. I liked how all 4 guys had their roles established early in this one, with Tanaka being the Zero-1 ace leading the you underdog fighter (Hidaka) into battle against the enemy New Japan guys in Kanemoto and Taguchi. Kanemoto's obviously the captain of team NJ as well, with Taguchi being his understudy in the art of being a prick, yet is also clearly closer to his partner's level than Hidaka is to his.

So then, Kanemoto and Taguchi spend the majority of the match beating Hidaka to shit with kicks and general dickheaded-ness, drawing some geat heat from the very pro Zero-1 crowd in the process (Hidaka gets sympathy from the crowd almost as well as Yuko Miyamoto in this). They also do a fair bit of brawling which establishes that both teams really don't like each other, seeing as how some guy bashing another's head into a brick wall gets that point across pretty effectively.

The Tanaka/Koji exchanges are great as well, bringing the hatered every time, really making me want to see their April match even more. Hidaka just has excellent periods with both NJ guys though, gaining, like I mentioned above, some great crowd support as the underdog fighting for his promotion.

The last 5 minutes or so were red hot with both teams going balls to the wall for a pin, leading to some great near-falls and near-submissions. My favourite of those false finishes was Hidaka's leg lock on Taguchi. Taguchi sold the move flawlessly actually, making it look like he really was about to tap, putting Hidaka's submission over great. Taguchi wouldn't tap of course (thanks to Koji's save), but the fiery Zero-1 underdog had weakened him enough so that the ace could finish him off, naling him with a Sliding D for the 3 count, setting up the big Tanaka/Kanemoto match for the next month. Great stuff. ****

The three team matches are off the hook for sure.

Maybe a new tradition could be a Narniwa (SP?) Elimination style match like at the end of the JAM cup. Maybe mix DG and some US guys, have yourself a crazy match. They could put it at DG challenge or make the weekend a tripleshot like the first DG weekend.

They are cool, but if you just rely on them you would be unhealthy, and the matches would be unwatchable. Technical mat work is fruits and vegetables. We may not like them all, but some of it can be sweet chain wrestling. Last but not least (well maybe) is spots and random indy MoVEz~!, your sugars and fats. You can not just eat chocolate, and thus you need to do more than flips and head drops to get **** and above.

I'm guessing you saw the 3v3v3 match from DG Infinity #65, I think anyway, that happened in June? My DG MOTY for sure and in my top 3 overall for last year.

A Naniwa Style Elimination match would be sweet as well, kinda like what they did at All-Star Extravaganza 3 except, obviously, add eliminations.

Speaking of DG, I re-watched the 1/14 GHC Jr. Tag earlier between Speed Muscle and Shingo/Hulk - fantastic match, if a little overkill city. I've given my thoughts on this alread, as have numerous other members, so I won't go into any more detail, but I will bump my rating up from **** to ****1/4. Top 10 for the year so far in my book. Can't wait to re-watch the 3/20 tag match soon.

Ya I can't wait to get that DVD with the 1/14 match on it. I need to raise $800 still for a philosophy institute I am attending, and then after that I am gonna get all the DG from this year.

Ya, the 3v3v3 was June 30, 2007. That was my #4 last year and my #7 all time favorite match.

Wow, just brutal. While it starts off slow with the mandatory indy mat wrestling, it kicks into high gear and is awesome. They chop the shit out of each other, telling a great story in the process. My second favorite match this year besides Flair/Michaels.

The cut on Stevens head in the match was incredible, looks like the edge of the belt sliced his his head open.
