November 9, 2009

The Heyman Hustle has posted an exclusive article written by Dragon Gate USA head booker Gabe Sapolsky. In the article, Sapolsky breaks down the 10 things fans should know about Dragon Gate’s big event which is coming to The Arena in Philadelphia on November 28th. Below are excerpts from the article, and you can read it in its entirety by visiting The Heyman Hustle.

"1) The show is built around a unique tournament to crown the first Open The Freedom Gate Champion. This belt will be the focal point of the promotion moving forward. There is only one chance to see the first champion crowned and that’s November 28th in Philly.

2) Brian Kendrick is pissed at his showing on the "Untouchable" PPV and can’t wait to get in the ring against BxB Hulk. Kendrick has shaken off the "sports entertainment" ring rust and is ready to perform at top form as he competes to become the first Open The Freedom Gate Champion.

7) Super Crazy sees this as a homecoming when he returns to The Arena, the building in which he first made a reputation in the United States, for the first time in years. Super Crazy is eager to erase images of the "Mexicools" to the American fans and show why that he still has it. Keep an eye on Super Crazy and Jorge Rivera in the four-way first round bout that also includes Dragon Gate icon CIMA and CHIKARA founder Mike Quackenbush. We’ll have an article looking at the interesting dynamics in this match soon at DGUSA.tv."
