Puroresu Wednesday – Open The GAMMA Gate

GAMMA is great man.

He’s not the best worker, or the hardest worker in the world, but he is an awesome, awesome heel.

His current angle in Dragon Gate is that he has won the “Open The Brave Gate” championship. His first act was to break off the name plate (an eight piece plate representing the participants of the first tournament to determine the champion) and replace it with his own, renaming it “Open The GAMMA Gate”.

The angle then steps up a notch when the concept of GAMMA Gate commissioner Yoshito Sugamoto is introduced. The commissioner has so far over-ruled two theoretical losses of the belt. Firstly declaring that a pin by Super Shenlong in GAMMA’s second defence didn’t count. Then in GAMMA’s third defence declaring that the title could not be lost on ring outs after GAMMA got counted out.

Yoshito Sugamoto happens to be the real name of GAMMA, but surely that’s just a coincidence.

Not sure where this is going as we’re only 4 defences in, but with Shingo Takagi likely to take the role of top heel in the new Real Hazard group (the remains of Muscle Outlawz and New Hazard after they turned on SpeedMuscle and BxB Hulk), this looks like a great way for Real Hazard to garner even more heat across the bill.
