Shingo is just a beast, throwing around and beating the crap out of Horiguchi. Good stuff.

Jimmy Jacobs came to the ring for his three way dance with Tommy Dreamer and Jon Moxley, but instead Teddy Hart made his way to the ring and took the mic. Hart said that he's never been hurt in his career, but he was last night. I was told he ripped up the ligaments in his shoulder and will likely be out awhile. Hart praised Paul London and Brian Kendrick and went on and on about being hurt and not being able to wrestle. It was your typical Tedd Hart, i.e. it was intense but all over the place and hard to follow. Hart began praising Jimmy Jacobs and said he could fill Hart's shoes tonight., I guess in the scheduled tag match. Jacobs agreed. Hart went on and on and on and on. Brian Kendrick finally came out and said this is all a lot of nothing, which was a total shoot, because it was. Kendrick and Jacobs challenged each other where the loser of the fall leaves DGUSA. They were setting up a tag but it was confusing in that they never out and out explained what the hell was going on. Kendrick and Hart went back and forth. Paul London was out there too. He and Kendrick said they were sorry that they injured Teddy and that it wasn't intentional. Hart put them over and hugged them as he left, they jumped him. Jack Evans hit the scene, so....

London went to help but Evans hit a springboard dropkick. Kendrick finally tapped.

Your winners, Jack Evans and Jimmy Jacobs!

Brian Kendrick must leave DGUSA. London attacked Evans but Hart lowblowed him and nailed a piledriver. If he's as hurt as they were claiming, that was just stupid to do.

Weird stuff. The entire segment seemed all over the place to start and in my mind, never recovered. It was all very contrived in terms of the set up, as if it could have been done simpler. The match was very similar in that it was insanely spectacular at points and at others, it was just there, sort of like a Sabu match that didn't hit on all cylinders. I give them all a hell of a lot of credit for the effort, though.

Tommy Dreamer vs. Jon Moxley

Dreamer got a huge ECW chant before he even got to the ring. Dreamer took the mic and thanked the fans for his reception. Dreamer said this is a very important weekend for a lot of wrestling fans. He said that as someone who was at the first Wrestlemania with his father, he thanked everyone for supporting the business. He said there are a lot of people who work in the business who don't wrestle for WWE and thanked everyone for supporting them. He said since his match was changed, he asked for an old school Tommy Dreamer violent no rules match. The place chanted "Thank you Tommy." Moxley had Christina Von Eerie with him.

Fun hardcore match. Fans didn't seem to buy Moxley going over, but that's what Dreamer is all about.

YAMATO vs. Susumu Yokosuka.

Yokosuka rode YAMATO to the mat early. He controlled the match early. YAMATO caught him in a choke. YAMATO nailed him with a backbreaker. YAMATO defeats Yokosuka with a Gallaria (inverted facelock into a sit out slam piledriver). I actually fell ill during the bout and headed back to my hotel (I've just gotten over a bad sinus infection and was pushing it pretty hard this weekend and my body finally forced me to tap, so when I get a screener for the PPV, I'll write my thoughts from the rest of the show. ) BxB Hulk, Naruki Doi, and Masato Yoshino defeat CIMA, Gamma, and Dragon Kid when Yoshino made Gamma tap to Sol Naciente.

sounds like a pretty lackluster weekend. I'll maybe check out the Dragon Gate shows.

Hell yeah! When I saw him on Young Lions Cup I shat bricks, lol.
