| Dragon Gate Live in L.A. Took place: Sept 05, 2008 Attendance: Estimated 500 people by Daniel Short of F4W online Event Location: John Anson Ford Park in Bell Gardens
The DVD starts out with your newly reunited commentators well known for their PWG antics of Excalibur and Disco Machine.
There was a pre match show that we are not going to be seeing so let me quote the description from Daniel Shorts description,“
The show opened roughly ten minutes before 8pm with an exhibition triple-threat match courtesy of WPW. 0. Dragon Gate Invitation Match Amazing Junior vs. Infernal vs. Lil' Cholo The idea is that the winner could earn a future tour in Dragon Gate. Nice little lucha-style match that had all three get some time to showcase their stuff. Most of the fans were more familiar with Cholo than the others and were clearly behind him, though some of the aerials Junior did earned him some cheers. One scary moment saw Cholo attempt a dive on the others on the floor, but did a bad rotation which nearly caused him to get clotheslined by the neck on the top rope. The match itself was still fun nonetheless with Cholo getting the finish after nailing Junior with an interesting lucha driver that's kind of hard to describe. Winner: Lil' Cholo “
This however is not on the DVD so I wanted to throw it in there for those who read this. The DVD however starts with
Real Hazards Genki Horiguchi vs. “The Foreign student exchange” El Generico
Genki is seconded by the entire Real Hazard group of YAMTA, Yasushi Kanda, and Gamma. Those who remember Genki as only a baby face performer from his ROH showings should be somewhat surprised though I do remember that Genki did do one show with ROH as this new heel character with his dyed red pony tail and his evil eyes.
This is a great opener as it not only showcases the lucha influence of this promotions style but also shows that the referees are not going to stop the factions from getting involved and that disqualifications are not going to occur when the real goal is to have a clear cut winner. Great high flying stuff from El Generico as you would expect, but also a the great ground game shown by Genki. Some mistimed interference from Real Hazard proves to be the undoing for Genki as he gets hit by a final brain buster from El Generico and is pinned. Could this foreshadow some actions done later on when the remaining members of Real Hazard take on World 1 for the Triangle Gate belts?
Your winner is El Generico though he certainly isn’t feeling much like one after a group beat down post match. Luckily he is saved by World 1 members BxB Hulk, Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino all very well known by the IWC. A war of the words ensues and dammit I wish I knew Japanese. I do feel that some subtitle and it would have been nice as this was for a largely English speaking fan base and it would have been nice to know what they were saying.
I will give credit to Naruki Doi for speaking English to the crowd and really getting them into the product as well as makes me feel as a viewer that they are going to great lengths to get us into their promotion.
“Hollywood” Stalker Ichikawa vs. Necro Butcher
Ichikawa talks some trash as on commentary we are told as to why Stalker is going against all comers as part of his Best of 10 challenge to move up from junior to Heavyweight. Necro comes out and merely punches him out for the three count. As Necro is leaving Stalker comes back to life and challenges for a second chance. Necro gives him his wish and is twice attacked by the dangerous koncho (a double finger to the rear end) and then the almost always fatal diving koncho and yet Necro seems impervious to the pain. Outside the ring Stalker is berated with chairs thrown wildly from Necro Butcher. Not looking like a wise decision on the part of Stalker Ichikawa. Anyone who has seen Ichikawas stuff from early PWG dvds will no doubt be entertained by this blend of hardcore wrestling from Necro and pure comedic genius from Stalker as some of his expressions are just gold. After the tiger driver on multiple chairs delivered by Necro onto Stalker, Necro Butcher gets his second win of the night.
Great little match and very entertaining. Keeps the crowd into the action but also gives a nice little popcorn feel before the seriousness of the title matches coming up later on the DVD.
Open the Dream Gate Championship Match: Shingo (champion) vs. (World 1) PAC
Great show of respect as both men shake hands in the middle of the ring to start this dream match off. Shingo’s style in this match is very reminiscent to me of Samoa Joe 2005, especially with the firemans carry into a rydeen bomb for a cover only to turn it into a STF after the kick out by PAC. I have seen PACs stuff in PWG and ROH and really this match is the first one to really impress me. I have always enjoyed his style but really didn’t get much from him in terms of his ability to pull me into the match with psychology. But I will say that this match, and I’m sure praise must be given to Shingo as traditionally the match is called by the champion, has shown me that he can put on a match where he does seem to be thinking out a strategy and not just hitting high flying, high impact moves hoping for something to stick.
Awesome series of reversals from both the power wrestler and the “Man that Gravity Forgot” with a flurry of huricanranas and PACs British Airways finishing move. Shingo hit’s a huge top rope superplex and holds on seeming to hit him with another high impact move but PAC reverses into a huricanrana pin followed by another British Airways and O’Connor roll to almost win the title. Shingo manages to survive all of it and in the middle of PAC trying another high flying move from the corner, Shingo dead lifts him on the middle rope and hit’s a Death Valley Driver….1...2.…kick out by PAC!! Pick up by Shingo into his Blood Fall finishing move and a lariat…1...2...kick out again by PAC.. But Shingo quickly lifts him up and hits his Made in Japan move, a Michinoku Driver 2 variation and finally the 1,2,3 as Shingo retains his Dream Gate Title.

| DO you ever get that feeling when you're with someone that you aren't really as important to them unless you are the only person around? That there are times when you can bend over backwards for someone but they really don't pay any attention to you unless you are the ONLY thing that they have to think about? I'll probably continue this thought process later. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| Oh well. What can I say. Some days are just obviously better than others. Some weeks are obviously better than others. And then there are times when nothing in the world seems to matter but your problems that you create in your head. That time for was was the last three weeks that have come and gone by and damn am I happy that it has happened. I don't know what I would do if not for my inability to really feel what I feel. To really grasp what it is that I'm thinking. Most of the time I know that there are things I feel terrible about and then there are things that I really don't care too much about at the time but then sneak up on me and make me feel so upset. Damn those days just don't pay to wake up to. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Well after years and years of talking and hoping and wanting. This year as my 23rd on this earth finally marks the time when I get my infamous jaw surgery. Yes the talk is over and it was done last Monday. Albeit with complications along the way as always which usually makes my life oh so awesome. It was orignially slated to be done in May but the very Thursday before my sugergy while they were testing my blood for any allergies to medications they discoverd something very interesting. My blood sugar was 400. Yes 400. Death level, Diabetic shock level... pretty bad stuff if you ask me. After asking me to fast and come back in the next day they found that it wasn't a fluke.. my blood level went down to a whopping 350...whoopie. So it came to pass that I had to get some more tests which led me to much better news though. My anitbody count in my kidneys was good and healthy mostly meaning that hopefully I was not going to be a full diabetic and have to worry about this shit the rest of my life. The second was that I had a normal level of protein in my urine which also leads to the same conclusion as stated earlier. All of this made me feel better despite being put on medications that were the sizes of freakin horse pills.
Overall though after all that the surgery finally was given the green light and it happened. I am currently only about 25 % as swollen as I was the day after surgery though three days after surgery I was already home and walking about normally with my wonderful girlfriend Tammy at my side. Yes she came down from Sacramento to come visiti with me for a lil under a week and she helped me tremendously as with the liquid floating inside and around my head it was very hard for me to walk around without feeling that motion sickness.
Currently though I am in Sacramento visiting with my sister who has since finished her residency and is a full fledged dentist now despite not having a job :p She is caring for me as Tammy is immersed in her bar tending school and I have to say I am very impressed with how dedicated she has become to the schooling. I will be starting schooling too at American River College in Sacramento at the end of the month so I don't get off scott free for too much longer.
Oh well. I can't help but feel that the new Offspring album is just pure greatness as I blast it through my ears to help me feel better. What a good feeling... | comments: Leave a comment  |

Sadly enough it is the guy from "The Invisible" playing Goku. At least Spike from Buffy series is playing Piccolo. | comments: Leave a comment  |
| First off FUCK YOU Alrite now that I got that out of the way and out of my mind I decided that for some reason I wanted to get something off my mind that has been sitting there a while and for some reason can't seem to get across to others. Guys... in general will probably not see nor have any emotional feelings about certain topics. At the same time society in general decides to stereotype guys as pretty much the same category as well. We are supposed to be non-caring, stoic to the world, pretty much bad ass mutherf*ckers. And trust me there are those out there. From personal experience, yeah I'd say that I have done my fair share of adding to this stereotype and from the standpoint of several ex-girlfriends I am the last person who will tell my girlfriend anytime something is wrong in a relationship. I have found to my surprise that apparently this is very true to form and of course this always has been my MO and why the hell should I try to change that right? I mean girls do the same thing to a certain degree. They tend to have something wrong with a relationship and will probably either try to address the issue off hand of course dooming any type of resolve from the get go or they will get in the face of the boyfriend and in doing so exacerbate the issue thus making it harder to communicate with them. All of this comes from several accounts of individual experience so I can surmise that hey we are all different and of course handle things differently, but as the saying goes the more things change, the more they stay the same. The girl wants to be right no matter what and most of the time, the guy just wants his point of view heard without the girl trying to basically cry her way into his heart and basically come back with the whole, " you're not listening to me" bull shit line that of course will break down the guy's defenses of course giving the girl the upper hand. Dammit I cannot stand it when that happens because for the most part, what if the guy has a legitimate point of view and the god damn girl only wants him to see it from her point of view, is she not being just as narrow-minded as most girls claim guys are? Damn right she is. I'm not stating this about any particular girl or with anyone particular in mind. It just happens as a day to day concern of mine that for some reason I don't really feel like trying to understand why I bother to take so much time to listen to women, so much time trying to decide what is better, right from wrong, trying to entertain and yet for some reason still in the end feel like I just got mud stomped through hell and back just because I did something that someone didn't like. All I have to say for right now as I am pretty damn tired and pretty damn feeling used is that... once again FUCK YOU | comments: Leave a comment  |
| Man oh man has it been a while since I even decided to update this thing. Not to mention all the time that has passed since the last time I even wanted to put words out there on a blog where mostly nothing means very much anyways. Oh well. There are lots of little things about behavior taht always makes others want to either understand or know more about something. There is always something more to others than what they are telling you or what they want you to know about them. I can't say that I am not one of those types who really keeps to themselves but I do tend to do that from time to time. I have come to the realization that I am a very secretive person and by that very nature don't always pursue the most trustworthy relationships and I probably put more spin on them than there needs be but of course that is not without help. It takes two to tango as they say and I believe that the metaphor fits in my life right now. Little things are those things you notice about someone where they act or behave very differently when they are around and yet entirely different when other circumstances arise. I have to say that I am not without this habit, though for the most part I do believe that I don't really change that much from group to group or person to person because I am by my very nature usually in the same temperment. I can't help but wonder about others though. Do they reallys how what they honestly think is themselves or do they not know that there are those of us that notice these little changes in behavior. I for one do notice how people change from climate to climate and while I do applaud those who can learn to adapt to given circumstances, when someone shows aberational behavior only when the "stalwart" figure is around, it tends to lead towards very unfavorable feelings. I really wish I could explain that more.. maybe I will. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment  |
| I've been watching some very interesting movies lately. I believe that my taste in movies has risen. And perhaps at times I don't know everything that has happened. From what I know of the truth, it can set me free. Free to do what. Free to prove what to the world. Prove that I am who I say I am. Proof is in the eye of the beholder. At any given time a man must chose who he has to be and who he represents. I will always consider myself to be very lucky and to be very in tune with what the truth may hold for me. But can everynoe say such things. Can everyone be proud to walk around everyday and to be proud of what they do and who they help. I am. As for the revelation of who or what I am, like Project 161 is to RoH, I will come out soon. | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |
| can any one succeed in that field without proper training?
Well I'm sitting here on my computer and I'm watching a Seinfeld DVD on PowerDVD player and I just realized that I paid for that John Beck real estate program. basically it is a $58 program that allows you to see estates that are being sold off from the government for what is called, "pennies on the dollar."
From what I understand I can probably purchase an estate and live on it and rent out other ones. It would seem that it could be a great idea to start purchasing real estate now. At the same time it would allow me to pick up some extra money on the side. My sister is also applying for her real estate liscence. This could all really work out well for everyone. I don't know, hopefully this all works out.
This episode of Seinfeld is one of the better episodes. It's the airplane one where the guy gets sick and Jerry gets the responsibility of taking care of the guys dog. While the side story is George and Elaine are trying to understand how they would get along without Jerry in the picture. It's quite interesting and it makes me think about how people react when I'm not around and they really don't know eachother.
By the by though things should be going rather well at Blcokbuster. We have a new store manager named David. It's kinda odd while at the same time being refreshing at the same time. It's kinda odd how I reacte to jobs. I believe that react differently than most. | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment  |
| Well tonight after getting off of work, Farrik aand I went to Marina where we have our built alter and we succesfully lit a fire within it. it is a hole in the ground we dug. About 3 feet deep. 5 feet across. We layed two layers of stones around it and we didn't think that we would be abel to get the fire that we got tonight. It was absolutely great. Along with some Goldschlager just made a fun way to end the night. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
| Today is one of those days. Just one of those days where it seems that things could and should go right but for some reason aren't always on the level that you expected them to be. Lofty goals have been flying around in my head lately. I finally found a way to get rid of some bad credit but purchasing a card where when I pay it gets directly recorded and reported to the three berueas so that is good I guess. At the same time it will save the cash flow I have right now so that I can have more money saved up for school and other projects I have going on. It's pretty safe to say that I have been really neglecting my schooling and even though it took the back burner, I never stopped knowing that I will go back. I guess I was just really burnt out from school. Not so much school or the people, but the lack of knowing what it was I wanted to do. I have goals to attend law school with a degree in physics and/or chemistry which is almost impossible but I am managing my way there. It has been pretty damn hard though to get those two to even comingle. Chemists and Physicists like eachother as much as fat likes stacker 2... wait..scratch that. Anyway it just doesn't seem to know when to stop and realize that I need both for the long term. I need to get my head in gear and get something done other than this pathetic little time off I've given myself. Not that it hasn't been fun, cause it hasn't. | comments: Leave a comment  |
