So is there anywhere to get a DVD of Dead Or Alive in America? Or at the very least a place to see it?

So is there anywhere to get a DVD of Dead Or Alive in America? Or at the very least a place to see it? It's still up on NicoNico, and won't be taken down for another two days. Besides that, the cage match has been up loaded already on video sites. If that's the only thing you're interested in, you can find it out there.

11th May Korakuen Hall Show resultsMain notes from the show; - The show marked the 15 year anniversary of wrestling for both CIMA and Don Fujii - U-T managed to get the bug off his back and pinned Yamamura in the opening tag, ending his losing streak against the Over Generation rookies. - Tozawa was seconds away from pinning Eita before the 20 minute time limit expired. He was understandably upset at that result. - During the end Yoshino/BOY v Doi/Tanizaki tag match, Doi had Shachihoko BOY pinned off a Bakatare Sliding Kick, but instead of going for the pin motioned towards the back. Brother YASSHI ran out and unmasked BOY, leading to the match being thrown out. He revealed himself as YAMATO's replacement in VerserK, ald told Yoshino the friendship bullshit from MONSTER EXPRESS made him sick. Pics below: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Out with YAMATO. In with YASSHI. - Kagetora made a successful return to Korakuen pinning Punch Tominaga. He was glad to stand in the ring along side his Jimmyz stablemates, and promised great things were to come. -A protein powder attack from Doi and red box attack against YAMATO helped Shingo Takagi beat his former stablemate. Despite sharing the same sentiments as Yoshino and MONSTER EXPRESS, YAMATO promised he would be the one to end VerserK. Updated King of Gate results table below: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}

Pretty cool to see Kaasa get a shot. He was climbing the ladder quickly for Gabe, but that stopped abruptly.

I caught the June 2nd Korakuen show this afternoon. It was fun, and we're seeing some interesting things develop as we turn the corner towards Kobe World. Results via IheartDGAdditional notes: - Peter Kaasa was pretty damn impressive. I've heard his name before, but this was the first time I saw him wrestle. He looks like a guy straight out of the WCW Power Plant, yet wrestles like a combination of Brock Lesnar and Adrian Neville. Some notable moves he pulled off included, a handspring corkscrew tope con hilo, a standing Cancun Tornado, multiple suplex variations, and he finished Horiguchi off with a picture perfect 630 senton. I don't really know where he'd fit in with Dragon Gate at the moment, but he's definitely good enough for a roster spot. - Yasshi looked really good too. He's a great fit for VerserK, and it's awesome to see he can still keep up with the other DG guys. - Eita might be the standout of the few King of Gate matches we've seen this year. Last month he had a really good draw against Tozawa, and this month managed to best Susumu, going to far as to kick out of a Mugen, and reverse the Jumbo No Kachi into his submission finisher for the win. - TRIBE VANGUARD don't have an entrance theme yet. The Hulk/Kzy/Maria trio entered to Hulks theme. - While we're closing on the end of the King of Gate torunament, it's still pretty open as to who will win their blocks. Placings are posted in the spoiler tag below, as well as a breakdown of who still has a shot of winning their block. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Block AStill eligible to qualify: Shingo Takagi, YAMATO, Jimmy Kanda, Kzy Eliminated: Don Fujii, Punch Tominaga What they need to qualify: Shingo Takagi – Beat Tominaga.

I'm glad you liked Kaasa. He definitely has some things to polish, but he has a lot of potential.

I'm glad you liked Kaasa. He definitely has some things to polish, but he has a lot of potential. Yeah, the 6 man tag match he was in was really short and clearly designed to let him get all his shit in and wow the crowd. But it was as good a first impression as anyone could hope for. I'm really interested to see how they use him going forward, because I don't see them sleeping on him now after promoting him so much and giving him such a strong a first impression. ~ In other unrelated King of Gate news: Shingo Takagi and Punch Tominaga were both counted out in their match which qualified in a double loss and thus no points were awarded. As a result Takagi has been eliminated from A block. Jimmy Susumu defeated CIMA which eliminated the latter from B block. Kotoka pinned Kong. No direct changes to Block C Masato Yoshino and El Lindaman reached a time limit draw. Which eliminated Horiguchi. If Shimizu beats Horiguchi he will win D block, if he doesn't Yoshino will win.

El Linderman is the clear favourite, I wonder if flamita is poised to return since he became a freelancer after his split from AAA due to octacon jr debacle. I would like to see UT make some unit move and his gear actually matches the TV theme(camo) but no way would they have him in a trios title shot as the X.

The new TRIBE VANGUARD theme has been added to iTunes. It's called 'Blow'em Away' by John Underdown. I can't say it's anything like I expected. Also here's a translated interview via Jae from IHeartDG from last week with CIMA, Eita and YAMATO.
