Here is your DGUSA.tv Weekly Update with all the latest happenings from Dragon Gate USA. Go towards the end for a preview of this Friday’s PPV:
-DGUSA "Mercury Rising" premieres on pay-per-view THIS FRIDAY on iN DEMAND, TVN, Bell and Viewer’s Choice. Dave Meltzer reviewed a screener in this week’s Observer and gave the main event an incredible ****3/4. Here’s what Meltzer had to say about this must see match: "…right up there with Michaels vs. Undertaker and will likely be one of the two best bouts of the year on U.S. PPV. So I’d go ****3/4, and really a must see when it comes to match of the year, if only because it’s totally unlike any other top match that will likely air on a U.S. PPV show this year."
-We have a look at Friday’s PPV lineup below, but click this link for a 2 minute video showing some incredible highlights from the main event Meltzer mentions above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
