I thought Edwards vs. Daniels was pretty good, that's it. 3 and a half snowflakes.

Daisuke Sekimoto vs. Ikuto Hidaka ***3/4

This was awesome athletically but Sekimoto's selling was ridiculously inconsistent. The leg work didn't mean much when he was sprinting across the ropes, throwing picture perfect dropkicks or moving around flawlessly. Consequently, Hidaka's final leg submissions weren't as impactful. Ultimately, I never felt like Hidaka was wearing Sekimoto down as he never sold anything. As far as big man vs. little guy matches go, this was good but a major step down from something like Davey/Hero from PWG's "Seven".

CIMA & Dragon Kid vs Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano - DGUSA 29/01/2011If this took place last year I'm pretty sure I'd have it in the top 5 vacinity and I'm quite sure it'll stay that high this year. I dont know if I've had a complete change of heart on Dragon Gate this week or if I've just been watching them at their best but fuck I've enjoyed the DG stuff I've been watching this week a lot. CIMA/Kid are such a great team, even better when Ricochet gets involved in trios matches. Really dig the double teams they pull off every match and some of the stuff is unique, unique in a good way too. There's one spot they've been doing lately where one guys hanging through the ropes with his ass sticking out and then they stick his partner with his face up the other guys butt and they dropkick him. It's goofy and everything but it's really fun to watch. At least for now. The story here with CIMA and Kid having zero respect for these two Indy guys is great and it plays nicely into that spot too with CIMA just slapping a defenseless Taylor on the ass just mocking him. CIMA does a really good job of getting him and Kid over as heels which is quite a feat. The night before they just totally failed but the second night really did a good job of getting the superfaction over as heels. Thankfully this isn't a spotfest and it doesn't have the massive Indy finishing strecth where they go through their arsenals and kick out of everything. Also glad they didn't do the usual Gabe tag formula where everyone tags in and out doing moves with no substance. There was a clear heel control segment over the babyface here and it helped so much. Finish was about as good as it could be in not hurting the match and getting Ronin over huge with Gargano not only pinning CIMA but making him tap. Super enjoyable match and helped a lot by the significance of the match for both teams characters. Got Ronin over as credible guys and not just all talk goofs and got the superfaction over as heels with the beatdown afterwards. Speaking of more goofiness Taylor and Gargano do this awesome sequence where they do whatever move it is and then do the most goofiest, awesomeist white boy dancin ever before just going back to kicking the shit out of their opponent. One of the best matches DGUSA have done for many reasons.

****1/2

Seabs, i agree with everything you said about CIMA/Kid v. Ronin. Just an unbelievable match and my current MOTY ****1/2

[AmWolves10]

Either of the two big DGUSA tag matches(Cima & Dragon Kid vs Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano or Yoshino/Pac vs Doi/Ricochet)

I dont know if I've had a complete change of heart on Dragon Gate this week or if I've just been watching them at their best but fuck I've enjoyed the DG stuff I've been watching this week a lot.

Man, I'm with you. My ratings are right inline with yours and I really have been enjoying it more overall.

[Seabs]

It's definitely helped a lot that they seem to have dropped down on the huge Indyriffic finishing stretches where they kick out of everything. Even Yoshino/Doi from the last DG PPV didn't have it and the main events for the Dream Gate title are normally consistantly terrible for that.

Dragon Gate has always kept me enetertained, even if there are some not so great matches, they still entertained me.
