DGUSA Open The Golden Gate 2013
Samuray Del Sol vs EITA - 6.5/10
EITA brings Perros del Mal banner, I'm already on his side. Good opener with lots of fast paced action, finish was a bit lackluster. Lenny Leonard and Callihan are on commentary, and they put both guys over huuge. EITA has a good career ahead of him if he keeps improving.
Ray Rosas vs Brian Cage = 5/10
"A couple of local athletes" according to Leonard, i guess it is 2013 after all. A good power vs speed story. Can't help by comparing it to other matches from these guys, and this was a bit slower in my opinion, not necessarily bad.
Aftermath, Dallas comes out and talks, and just because of that sweater vest, it feels like i'm watching 2004 ROH.
Jon Davis vs AR Fox vs Chuck Taylor **Points Match** - 7/10
Davis just stood in the ramp for like 5 minutes before he started walking to the ring. Fans started chanting "Hurry UP!" Match starts with Fox and Taylor, Davis just sits in the corner. I knew they were waiting for that spot where he stands up and takes both out, but i wish Fox and Chucky would have just dropkicked the shit out of him while sitting down. First elimination was beautiful. Man, i wish Chucky T was booked like this everywhere else.
The Jimmies (Jimmy Susuro & Ryo Saito) vs Rich Swann & Johnny Gargano - 8/10
This match was soo much slower that you would expect with the four guys out there. Swann played face in peril and the ref let the jimmies double team him for the longest time. Match got soo much better as time progressed though, just the end lacked a bit.
Kevin Divine vs Julian Cash - N/A
Less than a minute and Jon Davis destroys them both. Good cuz i wasn't going to pay attention to this match
The Young Bucks vs The D.U.F. (Sami Callihan & Arik Cannon) - 7.5/10
Great match, bunch of brawling, Young Buck heel awesomeness, goof babyface in peril story, and a good ending.
Tozawa vs John Morrison - 7/10
Not a crazy amount of innovative moves, but Morrison can tell a good story given time, it kinda sucks that he never really followed through with bigger independent matches. Match was technical and got fast paced by the end of the match. Good main event for the star power, but not better than the two tag matches of the night.
Bucks attack Morrison afterwards until AR Fox makes the save and him and Morrison work together to fend them off.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
Good show for DGUSA. With a WWE special attraction, titles had to take the second place, but champions still delivered on their own. I wouldn't say it's a must buy, i guess something worth checking out if you find it for 5 dlls or something.
