Though I'm not a fan of Dragon Gate in general, they deserve a huge amount of credit for becoming Japan's #2 promotion.  They've built a fanbase by creating their own style and unique presentation and, as you said, they're turning out some really well-trained talent.  Love they way they do all the stable warfare stuff. 

Yeah, it's not my favorite style either. It's just way too... much. But whenever I do watch it it's an absolute hoot because they're all so incredibly good at it. I really loved all those Toryumon kids from the moment I saw them, and it's amazing how they've kept it going after Ultimo Dragon shucked them all off. Also, CIMA is just about the most perfect wrestler alive.

Really funny to think that they're #2 now, and if they're not, then DDT is. I get a kick out of Sanshiro Takagi, the Stone Cold wannabe who used to take fans on trips to WrestleMania like they were visiting Mecca, being Keiji Muto's boss. That's almost Gedo-running-NJPW weird.

That's a lot of hearts.

CIMA, Dragon Kid, Gamma, all those guys are just so bloody smooth.  Plus, CIMA has that Triple H quality going.  First DG match I ever watched, CIMA and Gamma put on a pro-wrestling clinic.

The success of DDT and DG make me wonder why others just open up generic old-school promotions when that market is over-served already.

In other news, it looks like Rollins suffered a real and serious injury to his reconstructed knee during the Samoa Joe attack.
