To anyone who frequently watches Dragon Gate. Why is the YAMATO vs. BxB Hulk match a no ropes match?

 

[Manu_Styles]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I have no clue why, is the first DGUSA match of Hulk since lost the Open The Freedom Gate title, maybe a Grudge Match i think WillTheBloody can explain you better than me.

I think this may be the Gargano chance of become Champion they are build this match in the previous shows.

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I'd understand BxB Hulk & Shingo having a no ropes match.....

Wait, a no ropes match? What the hell?

To anyone who frequently watches Dragon Gate. Why is the YAMATO vs. BxB Hulk match a no ropes match?

YAMATO defeated Blood WARRIORS captain CIMA to retain the Freedom Gate on September 10th in Chicago. Afterwards, CIMA said that former champion BxB Hulk would be making his DGUSA return in November and that he wanted revenge against YAMA for taking his belt. Back when he was champion, Hulk was a cheery guy who loved fans and even danced upon entering. He has since turned heel and joined the Blood WARRIORS, transforming into an arrogant, wine-swigging maniac. On behalf of Hulk, CIMA challenged YAMA to a No Ropes, No DQ Match. YAMATO agreed but would not put the title on the line.

That's the DGUSA storyline reason. Here's a bit more to explain why that match in particular is important:

Hulk and YAMATO have a longstanding hatred of one another stemming from their days in New Hazard. Fed up with Hulk and his perceived weakness, YAMATO, Shingo Takagi and Cyber Kong all turned on their stablemate, ejecting him from the group to form Real Hazard with the remnants of the Muscle Outlawz. While Hulk vs. Shingo is a rivalry of former friends and tag partners, YAMATO vs. Hulk is one built on them NEVER really seeing eye to eye. Now, YAMATO is also known for his prowess in No Ropes matches, having defeated Shingo Takagi and Takuya Sugawara in such contests. Only two days ago, YAMATO suffered his first ever No Ropes loss: to Akira Tozawa in the Korakuen Hall. Now Tozawa's favorite new tag partner Hulk, the first ever Freedom Gate champion, will try and add another loss to YAMA's record.

Like Taylor, but I think Gargano's going to win the Freedom Gate in NYC to end the year. Wonder what that will do to Ronin with Taylor's potential jealousy and Swann's dual faction membership.

That doesn't really explain why you would bother to have a No Ropes Match.

It's a specialty match of YAMATO's. At the time of the challenge, he'd never lost one. Hulk wants to gain revenge from his title loss by beating YAMA at his own game. It's really that simple.

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

New matches and notes:

- DGUSA is very proud of our homegrown talent roster. That roster will be put to the test on November 12th in Philadelphia. The theme of that night will be DGUSA homegrown talent vs. Dragon Gate veterans. This is already proven in the main event when Chuck Taylor challenges for the Freedom Gate against YAMATO. Now another title bout has been added using this theme: Sami Callihan & Arik Cannon of D.U.F. will challenge CIMA & Ricochet for the Open The United Gate Titles on 11/12 in Philly. Callihan & Cannon have an impressive resume in DGUSA with victories over Dark City Fight Club, Masaaki Mochizuki & Susumu Yokosuka and YAMATO & AR Fox. They are the rightful #1 contenders and they will get their shot in Philly. Ricochet insisted in being included on the Dragon Gate veteran side instead of being called a DGUSA homegrown talent since he has risen as a main event level star in Japan and has already won two Dragon Gate titles.

- The November 13th event in Manhattan will be the final DGUSA show of the year. We can't think of a better time to do the blow-off matches for DGUSA's biggest rivalries and feuds of 2011. PAC vs. Ricochet has been an issue all year. Their three match series earlier this month provided inhuman, athletic, awe-inspiring bouts, but nothing was settled. Now it will be on November 13th. New York City will get PAC vs. Ricochet in one last singles match. This isn't about being the best high-flyer anymore, it is about being the best wrestler and the better man.

- Akira Tozawa has been officially confirmed for the weekend as well!

Good that Tozawa is going to be there for the weekend. I know I will really be rooting for Chuck Taylor, I would love it if he won the match and they made the NYC show a triple threat for the title. Can't say I'm too excited about the tag match.

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

Looking forward to seeing the Revere show, never seen a no ropes match from DG but it should be interesting none the less. The Philly show sounds promising even though I doubt sexy Chuky T will get an upset.

 

[KingCrash]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

Hopefully this PAC/Ricochet match will be better then the last, and while I'm not excited for DUF/Spike Mohicans I'm sure Ricochet and CIMA will drag Sami to a decent match.

Anyone catch Gargano getting squashed by Brodus Clay on Superstars this week?

 

[Boom Baby]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

Tozawa! Tozawa!

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

FINALLY got around to updating this thread. Honestly, I really like all three cards...and all three are on iPPV! Each show offers something a little different, which is awesome because my biggest gripe with the company has been how their cards seem to all run together.

 

[Matt_Yoda]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I'm" ordering REVOLT! without question, that looks to be card I'm' drawn to the most. I may order the NY show as well as that Triple Main Event looks very tempting, however I'm" on the edge about the Philly show, nothing really jumps out at me although Fox/Yoshino looks like it could be fun. I've never really saw the Chucky P hype so I'm" kind of indifferent towards him.

 

[Meteora2004]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I really like the card for Philly so far, and apparently the rest of the matches are being announced this week.

 

[KingCrash]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I like the NYC card the most with Gargano/YAMATO on top and if I order one next weekend it'll be that for a doubleheader with High Noon.

 

[seabs]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

All 3 look like good cards but there's nothing on them that makes me want to make time to see them. Yoshino vs Tozawa and CIMA are the stand out matches for me.

 

[Matt_Yoda]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

Speaking of which, I hope we get Shingo, BxB Hulk and Mochizuki involved more shows in the promotion next year although its highly unlikely. Maybe even bring Kong, Yokosuka and Gamma in for a weekend. More than anyone I just want to see Shingo back over here lol.

 

[FITZ]

Re: DGUSA's Year-Ending Weekend: 11/11 in Revere, 11/12 in Philly & 11/13 in Manhatta

I like the Philly card a lot, looks like a very fun card top to bottom.

11/12 and 11/13 should be an awesome weekend of wrestling in Philly with Chikara, DGUSA, and CZW all running shows in those 2 days. I'll be at all 3 and I can't wait.

Chucky T/Yamato has the most riding on it for me because it will decide if I have to drink my sorrows away before CZW or get drunk celebrating Chucky T's title win before CZW. And yes, I fully plan on getting really drunk and sitting front row at a CZW show.
