Middle Mark | September 2020

Hello and welcome to a little reading check in! Every month I do a mid month check in to share what I have finished so far and what I am in the middle of reading. So far, this month is going pretty well, but I entered a bit of a slump, I am hoping it just lasts this week. Fingers crossed! But, on to the books!

Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer My rating: 2 of 5 stars I got very bored halfway…

Dragon Gate The Gate of Passion Night 3 4/6/2022 + Final Burst-Out! K-Ness Forever 4/7/2022: K-Ness Retires After 26 Years, Kobe World 2022 on 7/30 & 7/31/2022; NJPW Hyper Battle ‘22 Night 4 - 4/7/2022

Dragon Gate

Today was the retirement ceremony of K-Ness, also known at various times as Darkness Dragon, MAKOTO, Jimmy K-Ness JKS, and his government name Makoto Saito. Beginning his career in 1996 in Michinoku Pro, he would go around the various indies until falling in with Toryumon in 1999 as MAKOTO as part of Crazy Max, but would be kicked out, returning in 2002 as Darkness Dragon in M2K. He would also be a part of the Final M2K, Real Hazard and World-1 units before falling into the extremely popular Jimmyz unit, who were forced to disband in 2017.

His most consistent partners through the years were either Susumu Mochizuki/Yokosuka/Jimmy Susumu and Masaaki Mochizuki, winning multiple trios and tag team titles between those two partners, and in one Open The Triangle Gate reign, both of them. He also was a former Open The Brave Gate champion, as well as NWA World Welterweight champion during the Toryumon days, in addition to being a 3-time Open The Triangle Gate and 2-time Open The Twin Gate champion, and two Toryumon-era UWA World Trios reigns.

His career ends today, retiring due to lingering neck injuries, nine days shy of his 48th birthday.

DG’s Gate of Passion 2022 tour resumed yesterday, so we’ll look at yesterday and today’s shows. Today’s was shown live on DG Network, however it seems there was a technical snafu on the English feed so that one is not available sadly. Yesterday’s was not shown live, but was also a homecoming show for both Open the Dream Gate champion KAI, and Strong Machine J, the son of NJPW legend Super Strong Machine, Junji Hirata.

K-Ness Retirement Match: Dragon Kid [HIGH-END] & Kzy [Natural Vibes] d. K-Ness & Susumu Yokosuka [Natural Vibes] (Kzy > K-Ness, Running Elbow Smash, 22:56)

K-Ness Retirement Ceremony

Among the guests for the retirement were Yutaka Yoshie & Nanae Takahashi (through Animal Hamaguchi’s gym), Gamma, Masaaki Endo and reps from Wrestle Dream Factory. K-Ness thanked his longtime friend and partner Susumu Yokosuka, and wished to see him become a singles champion once more.

Ultimo Dragon’s 35th anniversary as a wrestler will be on 7/30/2022 at Kobe World Hall; this coincidentally will be Kobe World 2022, which appears will be another two-day event this year, 7/30 and 7/31/2022.

After their match, Gold Class were beset upon by a masked Metal Warrior trio who had a roughed-up Minorita in tow. So we may get an actual feud for Gold Class and the Open The Triangle Gate belts now. Shun Skywalker gets a direct win over Jason Lee, in a match that also had members of Natural Vibes and HIGH-END, the other two units vying for Jason Lee’s services. Shun still says he owns Lee. I dunno, the team of Lee & Ho Ho Lun have been hot, and now Eita is teaming with Strong Machine J, so that could be something too? Who knows.

Genki Horiguchi will guest on DDT’s 4/24/2022 show in Kobe, teaming with Toru Owashi (himself a recent guest in DG) & Kazuki Hirata against Danshoku Dino, Yuki Iino & Antonio Honda.

The 4/25/2022 show from Korakuen will have the Jason Lee Negotiation Rights 3-way Trios match between Natural Vibes, HIGH-END & Z-Brats, as well as a singles match between Minorita and one of the mystery Metal Warriors.

The tour continues all through the weekend, with Friday’s show in Nagoya being a homecoming for both U-T and SB KENTo (seems like they just did that?) and Sunday’s from Kurashiki being Shachihoko Boy’s (I KNOW they just did that one). Saturday’s is from Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu, and I guess nobody is from there. The next streamed show will be on 4/17/2022 from Fukuoka.

Today was the final spot show for NJPW’s Hyper Battle ‘22 mini-tour, which was not streamed.

- 4/7/2022, Saitama Tokorozawa Citizen Gymnasium

Yuji Nagata & Kosei Fujita d. Satoshi Kojima & Ryohei Oiwa (Nagata > Oiwa, Nagata Lock II, 8:59)

Bad Luck Fale, Chase Owens, Gedo, Taiji Ishimori & El Phantasmo [Bullet Club] d. Tama Tonga [GoD], Tanga Loa [GoD], Jado [GoD], Ryusuke Taguchi & Master Wato (Gedo > Jado, pinfall, 9:57)

SHO & Yujiro Takahashi [Bullet Club] d. El Desperado & TAKA Michinoku [SZKG] (SHO > TAKA, Snakebite, 8:50)

Hiromu Takahashi & Tetsuya Naito [Los Ingobernables] d. EVIL & Dick Togo [Bullet Club] (Hiromu > Togo, Nameless Hiromu Roll, 9:18)

Jeff Cobb, Great O-Khan, Will Ospreay & Aaron Henare [United Empire] d. Hirooki Goto [CHAOS], YOSHI-HASHI [CHAOS], Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma (Ospreay > Honma, Stormbreaker, 11:15)

Zack Sabre Jr., Taichi & DOUKI [SZKG] d. Kazuchika Okada, Toru Yano & YOH [CHAOS] (Sabre > YOH, Wakigatame, 13:10)

Sabre once again declared he and Taichi will both be singles winners on Saturday. Hiromu KO’d both EVIL and Togo with the NEVER belt, meaning there is no way Hiromu is beating EVIL on Saturday, boo.

The next show is of course on Saturday, from Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan, with a whopping six title matches happening on this one. This will be streamed live on NJPWWorld. Saturday’s a big day for All Japan as well, with Champion Carnival 2022 kicking off. I was half-tempted for a second to post on Saturday instead, as Tokyo Joshi also has a big show from Korakuen on Saturday. However, Sunday also has the continuation of STARDOM’s Cinderella tournament, as well as a Korakuen DDT with Tetsuya Endo’s 10th Anniversary match, so maybe I will just stick to the schedule. NOAH resumes tomorrow too. Have a good weekend.

- Ti passo a perdere fra poco.

- A perdere?

- Sì, vengo da te e ci perdiamo insieme dove ti pare.

- E se poi ci trovano?

- Ma noi ci perdiamo bene.

- Devo portare qualcosa?

- Si, quella curiosità disordinata e bella che ti rende sfacciatamente vera. La voglia di soffiare via le nuvole dal tuo cielo che da un po’ di tempo è scuro. La forza di far scivolare via la tristezza che ti ostini a tenere per mano. Gli abbracci li porto io per quando avremo freddo.

- Ho paura.

- Ed è per questo che ogni tanto è necessario perdersi, in nuove persone, in altri luoghi, dentro nuovi viaggi. Perchè la vita passi e non ci trovi lì, fermi, ad aspettarla. Per ricominciare bisogna perdere la strada del ritorno. Per diventare persone nuove bisogna rischiare. Rompersi e rinascere. Prendere coraggio e fare quella ‘cosa’ che ci terrorizza, quella cosa che non avremmo fatto mai. Fare il primo passo per capire che siamo noi a doverci spostare da dove non riusciamo più ad essere, senza attendere che qualcosa per miracolo succeda.

- Passa a perdermi, ti aspetto.
