Dragon Gate: USA Open The Untouchable Gate (9/6/2009)- Chicago, IL

DRAGON KID vs. MASATO YOSHINO- 5.5/10 Just a bunch of fast-paced moves. There was a bit of a story with Yoshino kicking out of the thing that got him the win at the last show, but that was it. If CM Punk were on commentary, the name "Flippy McGillicutty" would have been thrown around a lot.

MIKE QUACKENBUSH & JIGSAW vs. GRAN AKUMA & YAMATO- 6.25/10

YOUNG BUCKS PROMO- good.

JIMMY JACOBS & MUSTAFA ALI TRY TO RECRUIT THE YOUNG BUCKS- confusing. I am really confused as to who are the babyfaces and who are the heels. The Young Bucks promo sounded vaguely heelish, but then they don't join up with the clearly heel Jimmy Jacobs and Mustafa Ali. Then Saito & Horiguchi (assumedly babyfaces, as they were the ones the bucks cut their promo on) come out and jump the bucks from behind and say that they aren't putting the titles on the line tonight.

BRYAN DANIELSON vs. NARUKI DOI- 9.5/10. WOW! Just plain art! Amazing storytelling here with each man just picking apart a limb and excellent selling by both men to help telling.

DRAGON PROMO- Dragon puts Davey over, and the fans got to say goodbye to Dragon.

CIMA vs. BRIAN KENDRICK- 6.5/10

DAVEY RICHARDS vs. SHINGO TAKAGI- 9/10. Amazing match.

DAVEY & DRAGON SEGMENT- GREAT!

THE YOUNG BUCKS vs. GENKI HORIGUCHI & RYO SAITO- 8.5/10. Awesome babyfaces vs. heels storytelling here!

BONUS MATCHES:

FRAY!- Hallowicked vs. Arik Cannon vs. Louis Lyndon vs. Shiima Xion vs. Mustafa Ali vs. Johnny Gargano vs. The Great Malaki vs. Flip Kendrick- 6/10. Everyone invlolved looked impressive.

MAGNUM TOKYO, BXB HULK, & MATT SYDAL vs. GAMMA, NAOKI TANISAKI, & JIMMY RAVE (from 7/9/2006 WRESTLEJAM)- 6/10

SHINGO TAKAGI vs. DAVEY RICHARDS (from FIP Impact Of Honor 6/10/2006)- 6.5/10

SHINOG TAKAGI vs. DAVEY RICHARDS (from FIP All Or Nothing 11/10/2006)- 6.25/10
