Dragon Gate USA!

[Kashdinero]

TBH, I haven't enjoyed ANY 'cide match since he came back from TNA... except maybe his match against Claudio on HDNet, but that was just average.

BxB vs. Tozawa from this show is also getting some positive press and MOTYC votes.... if the tag matches are anything like the NYC and Philly shows, this could turn out to be one of the best events of the year so far!

But yeah, DGUSA really need to sort some shit out in regards to advertising their shows. I literally only came across those iPPVs by chance, and completely forgot about this show until it turned up on PWTorrents today.

Off-topic, but the next few months is gonna be absolutely SHITHOT for indy events yo, with some big tournaments heading our way too :
Two ROH iPPVs on wrestlemania weekend
More ROH DVDS (Socal Showdown II and Manhattan Mayhem IV look like great cards)
Best of the Best X- it's BACK
16 Carat Gold 2011
King of Trios 2011
Kurt Russellreuinion DVD, DDT4 etc

Tournaments!!!!!!

Nothing better than seeing the cream of the indies going at it in multiple matches. BOTB is the one I'm looking forward to the most, as last year I really missed it! In fact, I never saw much CZW last year (about 3 shows) as following multiple Indy Feds show by show is hard fucking work!!! I'm hoping to see A.R Fox in this years BOTB as he kinda impressed me with his high flying at the great card that was KOD XI. But it looks like they're gonna be pushing for an Akuma win/final.

PWG
Chikara
RoH
ICW
CZW
DGUSA
EVOLVE
IWA-MS (haven't followed since it restarted)

(any more?)

Edit: JAPW anniversary shows are always a hoot!

(plus)

NJPW
NOAH
Dragon Gate
AJPW (minimal)

(following Puro is almost as hard as following Indy)

(and of course)
Raw
SD
TNA

(the reasons I have Sky)

That is a he'll of a lot of Feds to follow, so I tend to just pick out the best looking shows from each of them. Otherwise, I'd never get anything done. Although, I will try to follow them all as much as possible.

Upcoming Indy iPPV schedule for y'all (mostly just posting this for my own benefit though.... memory like a seive)

May 20th - EVOLVE 8

EVOLVE will hold the first annual Style Battle tournament on May 20th. The concept is simple. EVOLVE will take eight wrestlers, each representing a different style, and pit them against each other in a one night single elimination tournament. This will be a special event focused on determining the best style of wrestling and will not effect each wrestler's Record. The only win that matters is the man left standing at the end of the night. He will go down in history as the first Style Battle winner.

The participants:
AR Fox (High-Flying)
Austin Aries (Hybrid)
Bobby Fish (Puroresu Jr. Heavyweight)
Brodie Lee (Super Heavyweight)
Jon Davis (Power)
Rich Swann (Rich Swann Style)

[Bodom]

Didn't want to make a new thread and I hear that AAW has a working relationship with DGUSA.

AAW is holding a FREE iPPV tonight. Order here

AAW Pro Wrestling presents Path Of Redemption.

AAW Tag Team Championship Match

Zero Gravity, Brett Gakiya & CJ Esparaza
VS
Juice Robinson & Kyle O'Reiley

AAW Heritage Championship Match

Shane Hollister
VS
Davey Richards

AAW Heavyweight Championship Match

Silas Young
VS
Raven

[Necroyeti]

MsChif vs. fucking SCREECH? WHAT!?

Anyway, this looks worth watching, I'll prob give it a shot. Zero Gravity and Irish Airbourne are great tag teams, Jimmy Jacobs and Davey Richards are awesome, and Juice Robinson is an underrated indy worker.

[Necroyeti]

Oh, Bods, that event is "On Demand" for free, not live.

1. Zero Gravity vs. Juice & O'Reilly was pretty mediocre, mostly because Juice seemed totally out of place and sluggish compared to O'Reilly and Zero Gravity. You'd probably be best to skip this one, unless you've never seen a match by any of these guys before and want to check 'em out. (3/10)

2. Davey Richards vs. Shane Hollister. (starts at the 16 minute mark)
Shane is still very green, but Davey carries him to a great match - because he's in control for like 80% of it. It's not really as super stiff or as reckless as most Davey matches are, (a good thing) but the gratituous FIGHTINGU~ SPIRITU~ no-selling is still there, from both guys. (bad thing)
Last five minutes or so contains some excellent sequences though - It's definitely worth watching if you're into DR. (6/10)

3. Silas Young vs. Raven starts at around 36 minutes into the video. I didn't watch it because it doesn't interest me, but it looks like it takes place in a steel cage.

[Bodom]

Ahh. Didn't read that part

[Rated_R(ob)KO]

Just watched the 5-5-2011 "Dead Or Alive" 2011 show from Dragon Gate.... my god... 3+ hours of amazing, AMAZING performances.

I noticed this on PWT today, card looks ridiculously good. (PAC vs. Doi!!!!) Need to make space on my hard drive for it.

I definitely suggest it. It's a slow D/L though. (I got it from PWT as well.) Apparently the members there don't like a lot of Japanese stuff or Mexican stuff as well... WWE/WCW/ECW shit has a ton of people on its dick. (I got the "Monday Night Wars" DVDRip in less than 20 mins. --- 6 hours for DG: DOA 2011)

And like what was said earlier in the thread... 90% of people out there have no freaking clue what this company is or for that matter how damn good it is either. Its a shame. =(
