I'm" curious to see how Gargano vs. Taylor will play out DragonGate weekend in July. The build has been great, using a very simple story but both guys playing their roles well. However the feud has to end there because while the build has been great, this is another instance where Chucky T is exposed. I'm" curious to see who Gabe will line up as Gargano's next challengers; the talent is there (Ricochet, Fox, Jigsaw, Del Sol, Ki, Davis, Finlay & Generico) with Uhaa Nation down the line potentially. Lots of fresh matchups for JG.

Speaking of DGUSA/EVOLVE...

Some Dragon Gate USA/EVOLVE news…

- Tony Nese, who was just released from his TNA contract, will be back working dates for Dragon Gate USA. Nese worked for the company prior to signing with TNA.

- EVOLVE and Dragon Gate USA have announced that Sami Callihan has been suspended, and will not work the company's July dates. This is a storyline.

- Johnny Gargano vs. Chuck Taylor for the Open the Freedom Gate Championship is set for the next set of shows.

- WSA/NYWC worker Marti Belle will be working dates with the company. Belle worked the Cinco Del Mayo EVOLVE show, getting good reviews.

- WWNLive.com will broadcast the Vince Russo Youshoot Live iPPV on Friday 6/1. The iPPV costs $14.99 and can be ordered here.

Great to see Nese back.

Nese sucks. Hopefully Sami is unavailable for those dates, hence the angle. If not then that's pretty stupid for the EVOLVE date. They need all the stars they can get and like it or not Sami's a big deal to a promotion like EVOLVE.

I can't even remember what Nese looks like let alone his match(es) in EVOLVE.

Aerial Assault
Uhaa Nation vs. Lucky tHURTeen vs. Latin Dragon vs. Niles Young vs. Samuray Del Sol vs. Shane Strickland vs. Ryan McBride vs. Rory Mondo - **1/2


Pretty just there show besides a good Cole/MASADA match and Callihan/Younger trying to save the second half of the show. The tag title match seemed like every match they’ve had with each other and maybe the world title scene will get better once they bring in guys who aren’t stale.



CZW - Proving Grounds

No Rope Barbed Wire
Danny Havoc vs. Drew Gulak - **3/4


Besides a surprisingly good match out of Sabian and a decent main event the latest ippv from CZW wasn’t even worth the money. Two of the title matches were just filler for storyline advancement (and not really good at that) and the world title match was definitely not the way you’d want to start a reign after the lull it’s been in.

Nese is the idiot with the huge mohican right?

What did you think of the Yim/Excellent TLC match btw? Heard loads of people saying it was really good.

No hes the fairly built guy who does Flips and is from like New York or something. He was in TNA for a bit as well.

Nese coming back is cool, TNA wasn't using him anyways. Also nice to see Marti Belle coming into the promotion seems like Gabe is using a lot of NYWC talent these days, glad to see workers of that promotion getting some spotlight.

For the upcoming DGUSA weekend, I would like to see Gargano go with 2 or 3 successful title defenses, for my money I'd go with something like...

Day 1: Johnny Gargano defends vs. Chuck Taylor

The one we know will happen. If this is anything like their EVOLVE 9 Match it'll be hot. These two have great chemistry so it wouldn't surprise me to see them top that match now that they have a backstory and a face/heel dynamic to play off of.

Day 2: Johnny Gargano defends vs. El Generico

I've said it a billion times, this match must happen two of the most consistent performers in the US. These two could easily have a MOTYC with their eyes closed.

Day 3: Johnny Gargano defends vs. YAMATO in the rematch

Another match I'd love to see, if my memories serves me YAMATO never got his rematch for the strap. Their match in New York last year was absolutely awesome so I wouldn't be angry if Gabe went this route for their 4th Anniversary Show.

Nevermind, I got him mixed up with Jesse Neal.

[JoeRulz]

Tony Nese is a fairly good wrestler.
