It was just on the border above HM for me, but I did really like it so I'll give it the rub. I'd only seen Thatcher a couple times before this and I was impressed, I'd definitely be excited to see him in PWG after that match.

MOTYC: BXB Hulk v Jimmy Susumu - Dragon Gate, 02/05/2015

What a loving war. It has a slow build, with a lot of limb work (Susumu going for Hulk's leg and midsection and Hulk wanting to negate Susumu's lariats). The second phase is incredible and the final minutes are brutal as gently caress. Korakuen is as loud as I've heard it for both wrestlers and another excellent match in Hulk's reign. He's really grown into a hell of a champion and Susumu remains one of the most underrated wrestlers in the world.

I don't know a lot about DDT. I was always under the impression Kota Ibushi was their top guy because I hear the most about him and he does the most outside bookings but he's never booked like a top guy and HARASHIMA basically always has the top title. What's the deal the DDT

Kota Ibushi, Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi vs. HARASHIMA, Konosuke Takeshita & Tetsuya Endo - 01/25 DDT SWEET DREAMS 2015

This was fun stuff. BIG ESTABLISHED STARS vs. The KO-D Openweight & KO-D Tag Champs. Knew of HARASHIMA but practically knew nothing about the guys on the champions side.

Champs seem completely over-matched going in. Strong BJ completely overpower Endo (23 yo) & Takeshita (19 yo?!).

3rd'd

RIP the rookies, very good match

i would also like to nominate Kota Ibushi and HARASHIMA for post-match handshake of the year

the thing keeping this from MOTY for me is Neville's really bad heat spots at the beginning. He should not be doing restholds they don't suit him in the least

Let's get in early on the March matches!

Dragon Gate had a loving amazing show tonight/this morning/whatever. Everyone should watch it. If NJPW and NXT can get every match on the card nominated despite underwhelming shows, why not give Dragon Gate that honor for a fantastic show?

All matches from Championship Gate Day 2, 3/1/15

HM: Eight Man Tag Team Match: Dia.HEARTS (Masaaki Mochizuki, Dragon Kid, Kzy & Big R Shimizu) vs. Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Kanda, Jimmy Kagetora & Mr. Quu Quu Tanizaki Naoki Toyonaka Dolphin)

Great super fun opener in the classic Dragon Gate tradition. Top-tier spot-festing, missed out on MOTY due to lake of any real storyline giving the match weight.

HM: Akira Tozawa & Shingo Takagi vs. Yosuke Santa Maria & El Lindaman

Started as a really good comedy match that morphed into an awesome DG tag match. Lindaman's going to be a star in a couple years.

HM: Open the Twin Gate Championship Match - Mad Blankey (YAMATO & Cyber Kong) (c) vs. Monster Express (Masato Yoshino & Shachihoko BOY)

This match could have been MOTY quality but there was too much Mad Blankey interference, as blatant and hilarious as it was, for me. But the final stretch and Shachi's babyface fire kept the match on rails.

MOTY: Eight Man Tag Team Match: MAD BLANKEY (CIMA, Gamma, Don Fujii & Punch Tominaga) vs. Millenials (T-Hawk, U-T, Kotoka & Flamita)

Zombie Veterans vs. Millenials is the hottest feud in DG right now, and this match was classic Dragon Gate multi-man greatness.

MOTY: Open the Dream Gate Championship Match - BxB Hulk vs Uhaa Nation

Hulk continues his reign of amazing matches, and Uhaa looked loving amazing. Fantastic match, fantastic post match, fantastic show.

his two or three hope spots were very very good and resulted in an awesome nearfall. They really didn't have enough time for more with that finish. If he was going to win the match presumably he would have performed more moves. As it stands, seth is smart and champ, brock is still unbeatable, and roman reigns looks very tough and firey
