Was that last main event for the Open the Triangle Gate titles?

Nope. Susumu does not have a share of the titles. The title holders are H.A.Gee.Mee, Saito, and Kanda. Susumu holds Twin Gate with Kagetora.

Mochizuki vs Hulk at Korakuen was awesome. I had no idea what the crowd were getting so excited about at the end until I read Jae's report. Funny stuff. The crowd looked at least half female, so it wasn't just a crowd of men enthusiastic about the prospect of Doi wearing a thong.

Since the three hour Infinity tapings will apparently be based mostly around all Sambo Hall shows, today's show became super major.

4/19/2012 Hyogo, Kobe Sambo Hall 1. Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk. Cyber Kong{W} (12:22 Cyber Combination) Masato Yoshino, Eita Kobayashi{L}, Ricochet 2. Naruki Doi (6:53 V9 Clutch) Jimmy Kanda 3.

CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki{W}, Dragon Kid (12:22 Reverse Twister) Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee, Jimmy Kagetora{L}
KING OF CHOP!! 2012 -A Block 1st Round: Jimmy Kagetora def. CIMA -A Block 1st Round: Don Fujii def. Rich Swann -A Block 1st Round: Eita Kobayashi def via towel throw. Mondai Ryu -A Block 1st Round: Cyber Kong def. Naruki Doi -B Block 1st Round: YAMATO def. Kotoka -B Block 1st Round: Tomahawk T.T def. Super Shisa -B Block 1st Round: Masato Yoshino def. Akira Tozawa -B Block 1st Round: Masaaki Mochizuki def. Shingo Takagi -A Block 2nd Round: Don Fujii def. Jimmy Kagetora -A Block 2nd Round: Eita Kobayashi def.

Don Fujii -B Block Semi-Final: Tomahawk T.T def. Masaaki Mochizuki -Finals: Eita Kobayashi def. Tomahawk T.T
Naoki Tanisaki had to cancel his appearance for unknown reasons. Tomahawk T.T appeared for the first time since January to take his place....
YAMATO congratulated Tominaga on the win, and said last month it was Tommy inviting them. This month, they were inviting him to fight alongside them. Tommy happily accepted. He also admitted the newly won Platinum Trap Alpha probably did not suit him. However, he knew someone who it would suit. He called out....Super Shenlong! The 3rd iteration of the character came out. YAMATO wondered if he was a certain ugly wrestler that had also been fighting with them. he got as far as "Wa-" before Shenlong cut him off. he new Shenlong was also invited to the group. YAMATO deferred to Takagi for the unit name, since he was better at it. The new unit is named "Akatsuki" (暁), which means Dawn, or Daybreak.
By winning KING OF CHOP, Kobayashi earned the right to ask for anything he wanted. His wish was to enter KING OF GATE. It was decided he would replace CIMA in the tournament. CIMA will not participate. He also said he hoped to one day accompany CIMA to Mexico for training. CIMA said if he could memorize 100 words of Spanish by the next Sambo Hall show, he would let him come. He warned him that he would be tested in the ring next month. Kobayashi gave the customary closing speech.

So much going on, it's crazy. But as seen, one of the bigger news of note from this show is certainly the formation of Akatsuki. I have a feeling that's going to be an awesome unit that I hope lands in DGUSA.

Kobayashi winning King Of Chop is a shocker. It's crazy to see four people breaking out of NEX at the same time.

Kobayashi winning King Of Chop is a shocker. It's crazy to see four people breaking out of NEX at the same time. Because I'm an idiot, I forgot that King Of Chop was a tournament based on chops. Kobayashi winning is no surprise, his chops were put over very strongly on the most recent Infinity. Yoshino still bore a wound from his chop later in the show.

I posted a pic around here of YAMMY's chest after a recent encounter with Kobayashi's chops.
Just imagine if Kobayashi and Roderick Strong had a chopping match.

4/22/2012 Fukuoka, Hakata Star Lanes - 2000 Attendance 1. BxB Hulk{W}, Naoki Tanisaki (8:26 First Flash) Don Fujii, Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa{L} 2. YAMATO (6:17 Gallaria) Mondai Ryu 3. Jimmy Susumu (12:21 Mugen) Eita Kobayashi 4. Shingo Takagi, Chihiro Tominaga{W}, Super Shenlong III (10:32 Moonsault Press) Super Shisa, Jimmy Kagetora, Kotoka{L} 5. 4 Way 6 Man Tag: CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Dragon Kid vs. Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!! vs. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Ricochet vs. Akira Tozawa, Cyber Kong, Kzy -Saito (28:28 Dragon Suplex Hold) Kid -Horiguchi (32:06 Backslide from Heaven) Tozawa -Yoshino (37:47 Sol Naciente) Saito
The Veteran Army debuted new attire for interview segments - bathrobes.
There was a big talk battle between the main event units after the opener. Tozawa promised to crush everyone. Ricochet said DK was tiny & Horiguchi was bald. Horiguchi said the Jimmys whirlwind would continue.
YAMATO talked about Akatsuki. He said they were off to a late start compared to the units in the main event. They didn't have a logo yet. None of their costumes matched. But, they had the power of youth on their side so they would figure it all out soon.
Doi said the win today made W1i the #1 contenders to the Triangle Gate, and they wanted their title match in Aichi. Horiguchi agreed, but since Rico already had a title match booked for that day, there would be no Triangle match. Doi asked him if he bothered to read the official DG site at all. If he did, he would know that PAC would be back to Japan in time to fill that spot. Horiguchi said he didn't really care if he brought PAC, PEC, or POC. They were accepting the challenge.
The show ended with the official announcement of the next CHAMPION GATE series, taking place in Hakata on 6/16 & 17. Each unit took turns promising to hold all the titles by then.

In case you didn't see, there was update information from today's show.
Also, here is the full lineup for the DEAD OR ALIVE PPV.
5/6/2012 Aichi, Aichi Prefectural Gym ~ DEAD or ALIVE 2012 1. Super Shisa, Kotoka vs. Rich Swann, Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa 2. KING OF CHOP Finals Return Match: Eita Kobayashi vs. Nakoi Tanisaki 3. Akatsuki vs. MAD BLANKEY Loser Revives One Hit Comeback Elimination Match: Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk, Kzy, Mondai Ryu vs. YAMATO, Shingo Takagi, Chihiro Tominaga, Super Shenlong III 4. Open the Twin Gate: Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kagetora vs. Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii 5. Open the Brave Gate: Ricochet vs. Dragon Kid 6. Open the Triangle Gate: Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Kanda, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!! vs. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, PAC 7. Open the Dream Gate: CIMA vs. Cyber Kong
With the new unit battleground heating up, the Loser Revives elimination match returns. For those that don't remember, the rules are:
When a member of your team is eliminated, they can be brought back into the match by eliminating someone from the other team. Using this match as an example; If Tominaga is eliminated, he will be able to return to the match when someone from MB is eliminated. If a team is down two or more and get an elimination they get to pick who revives back to the match. The extra One Hit Comeback stipulation on this match adds captains to the mix. One person on each side will be designated as captain, and the match can be won straight away by eliminating them. Last year in the same venue, Takagi was down 4 against 1 vs. BW but still won the match by getting a pin on DK.
