HM: CHAOS (Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI, and Yuya Uemura) vs. CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, YTR, SHO, and Gabriel Kidd) New Japan Road 09.09

I'll second that, they teased a strong potential G1 match-up, some inner-faction issues, and the postmatch segment was particularly good too.

Dragon Gate's Storm Gate 2020 at Korakeun Hall, 9/9

HM: Ultimo Dragon, Don Fujii & Shuji Kondo vs. Kento Kobune, Taketo Kamei, & Madoka Kikuta

An admirable little addition to the "Old Men Beat Up Young Boys" genre of Puro. The hope spots for the youngsters here was fantastic as was Kondo's complete disdain for them in the finishing stretch.

HM: Naruki Doi, Dragon Kid, Susumu Yokosuka, & Kagetora vs. Kzy, Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, & U-T

The fun kind of spot-fest sprint that no company can do like Dragon Gate. I've been too busy to keep up with DG since the last Korakuen, so this was like coming home after a long day at work. Also during this match I had this horrible vision of an alternate universe where Jason Lee signed with WWE after the CWC and wasted away and stagnated on 205 Live and was now stuck in the US after getting fired in the middle of a pandemic.

HM: Ben-K & Dragon Dia vs. Kaito Ishida & KAZMA SAKAMOTO

Started slow but picked up real nice towards the end. That plus the post-match, setting up an Ishida/Maria Brave Gate match at Dangerous Gate and teasing Okuda as the Green Demon, pushed it up to HM for me. Kaito Ishida has been extremely good as the Brave Gate champ but he's almost too good to be the mid-card champ at this point.

MOTYC: ROAD to DANGEROUS GATE -Number change 6-man Tag Match- Big R Shimizu, Eita, & YAMATO vs. KAI, BxB Hulk, & Masato Yoshino

Not a workrate classic, but extremely fun character and story stuff. Match is part of the set up for the six way cage match at Dangerous Gate. Person who scores the pinfall can change their order of entry with anyone else or force two others to change their numbers if they're fine with what they've got. Tons of fun cross-faction, cross-team shenanigans, and the finish was amazing Technical wrestling master: Big R Shimizu

HM
6th September
Pro Wrestling NOAH The Spirit
Kongo (Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima and Yoshiki Inamura) vs Go Shiozaki, Kaito Kiyomiya and Shuhei Taniguchi

Available to watch on Wrestle Universe, this was a fun little match which worked as a warm up to the N1, built on the recent split of AXIZ, the long term rivalry between Kiyomiya and Kenoh and the recent MOTY between Kenoh and Go. When Kenoh and Nakajima did the old AXIZ spot of Endless Love but with them both kicking, oh my god I popped so loud.

N1 is going to be real good, cannot wait
