10/27/2012 Okayama, Kurashiki Sanyou Heights 0. Jimmy Susumu (6:07 Mugen) Mondai Ryu 1. Masato Yoshino{W}, Johnny Gargano (12:23 Lightning Spiral) Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!{L} 2. Naruki Doi (9:15 Bakatare Sliding Kick) Jimmy Kagetora 3.

Open the Brave Gate Championship Match: Dragon Kid (13:27 Bible) Shachihoko BOY *5th Defense for DK
Shachihoko BOY opened the show by calling out both CIMA & DK. He asked for a title match with either one of them. CIMA was annoyed that Shachi thought he could just call him out and get a title match just like that. He would have to win a CIMA Royale first. Plus CIMA had a long day of travel after receiving medical treatment so it was just out of the question. That left DK, who was more than happy to accept. So the card was shuffled around a bit, making the main event into a Brave Gate title match.
BOY had W1 as his seconds for the main. After the match, Yoshino took off his unit t-shirt and presented it to him. He asked him to fight alongside WORLD-1 International from now on. BOY accepted, and promised to fight hard.

10/28/2012 Hyogo, Kobe Sambo Hall - 950 Attendance 0. Kotoka, Shachihoko BOY{W} (6:19 Moonsault Press) Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin, Chihiro Tominaga{L} 1. Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kanda{W} (8:44 La Magistral Cutback) Don Fujii{L}, AR Fox 2. 3 Way Match: Jimmy Kagetora (8:43 Ikkitousen) Mondai Ryu{L}; Dragon Kid 3. Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk, Naoki Tanisaki{W} (11:23 Night Ride) YAMATO, Shingo Takagi, Super Shenlong III{L} 4. CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki{W} (14:34 Sankakugeri to the Face) Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!{L} 5. Open the Triangle Gate Championship Match: Gamma{W}, HUB, Magnitude Kishiwada (20:20 Gammasuke Clutch) Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Johnny Gargano{L} *1st Defense for the Shin-Imamiya Festival Gate Trio
WORLD-1 announced the membership of Shachihoko BOY to the Kobe fans. BOY promised to do his best as a part of the unit. W1 promise to win the Triangle Gate, in the title match they have been owed ever since PAC left.
Kagetora was upset that BOY could get a Brave Gate shot so easily, while he has been continually overlooked by DK. He swore he would get his attention and get a title match from him.
The first show of 2012 was announced after intermission. It will be the 2013 MEMORIAL GATE in Wakayama event, taking place on 2/11.
Mochizuki said that the Veteran Army would settle the dispute with the Jimmys before the end of the year. He had a little wager for them. If the Jimmys fail to take a title off of them by the end of the year, they will have to disband. Horiguchi agreed, and added that they were aiming to take all of them.
Yoshino was quick to make another Triangle Gate challenge. He asked for a rematch, with Shachi in place of Gargano. Gamma said he wanted to refuse, but he was deeply moved by the Shachi vs. DK match yesterday. It made him want to defend the title against Shachi, so he would accept the challenge. He said the match could take place at the November 17th BODYMAKER #2 event. He wanted it there as an anniversary of sorts for the time he challenged for the Triangle with BOY & Tominaga last November in the same venue. Horiguchi suddenly interrupted. The Jimmys were also demanding a title match. Gamma also accepted their challenge, making it into a 3 way title match.

Scott Reed has landed in Japan.
11/8/2012 Tokyo, Korakuen Hall - 1800 Attendance 0. Shachihoko BOY{W}, Super Shisa (5:29 Moonsault Press) K-ness, Chihiro Tominaga{L} 1. Naoki Tanisaki{W}, Mondai Ryu (7:04 Night Ride) Kenichiro Arai, Kotoka{L} 2. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino{W} (7:59 Speed Star) Cyber Kong{L}, Scott Reed 3.

MAD BLANKEY vs. -akatsuki- 3 Singles Match Series #3: Shingo Takagi (15:13 Pumping Bomber) Akira Tozawa 6. Team Veteran Returns vs. Jimmys All Out War Elimination Match: CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii, Dragon Kid, HUB, Gamma vs. Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Jimmy Susumu, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Kagetora, Jimmy Kanda, Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin -Susumu (27:20 Jumbo no Kachi!) Gamme -CIMA (28:17 Over the Top Rope) Dolphin -Kagetora (Kagenui) HUB -DK (32:20 Ultra Hurricanrana) Susumu -DK (33:13 Bible) Kagetora -Saito (34:38 Messenger) DK -(38:00 Over the Top Rope) Kanda & Fujii -Mochizuki (39:29 Shin Saikyou High Kick) Saito -Horiguchi (42:00 Backslide from Heaven) Mochizuki -Horiguchi (46:23 Backslide Times) CIMA
Team Veteran opened up the show. CIMA thanked the fans for coming out in the midst of working & studying hard. He also talked at length about his new incredibly fashionable camouflage pants that he purchased while in New York. They also showed off all their title belts, and told Korakuen about the wager with the Jimmys over them. This brought the Jimmys out. They traded the usual banter over the main event. Horiguchi promised that the Jimmys would not be dismantled.
Mondai Ryu of all people got on Cybers' case for his recent string of saltiness. Kong called him out on that. He enjoyed tagging with Reed today, and went for a handshake. Reed knocked his hand away. Tanisaki warned both of them that if they continued to be terrible they would find themselves out of MAD BLANKEY.
MB did everything in their power to prevent a Takagi win. YAMATO finally gave in and interfered himself, leading directly to the win for Takagi. Naturally, Tozawa chastised him for ruining the match and wondered if that was how -akatsuki- did their fighting. Both sides continued to trade words until Takagi gave Kzy a lariat for no reason, leading to more confused fighting. Tozawa promised to destroy them, and MB left. Takagi said that one of the units would probably be destroyed, but in the end the -akatsuki- sun would be the one that rises.
After the main, Horiguchi brought up CIMAs' speech from GATE OF DESTINY. CIMA had heavily praised the new generation, but didn't mention a single Jimmy. Saito said the way to chang that would be for them to take out DoiYoshi. This brought out WORLD-1. After some talk, they set up a 4 vs. 4 match for the next Korakuen. CIMA will team with DoiYoshi for the first time since Blood Generation. Their 4th member is currently listed as X. He will be brought in by W1. It was implied that it would be Ricochet, but it wasn't explicitly said. The Jimmys team will be Saito, Horiguchi, Susumu, & Dolphin.
Shachi also had something he wanted to do. He challenged Kagetora to a singles match. The winner gets the next Brave Gate shot.
At this point Kanda & Fujii began to brawl. They were joined for some reason by YAMATO. GM Yagi decided that the 3 of them would fight in a falls count anywhere 3 way match next month.
The victorious Jimmys closed the show with the usual WE ARE JIMMYS speech & song.

11/11/2012 Tsu City - Wing Messe Mie - 1100 Attendance 0. Scott Reed (4:50 Lyger Bomb) Kotoka 1. Don Fujii (5:53 Pinned after Blocked Ina Bauer German) Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa 2. YAMATO, Shingo Takagi{W} (10:47 MADE IN JAPAN) Masato Yoshino, Shachihoko BOY{L} 3. Gamma (8:57 Pinned after Cradle Exchange) Naruki Doi 4. Akira Tozawa, BxB Hulk{W} (12:58 First Flash) Jimmy Kagetora, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!{L} 5. CIMA, Dragon Kid{W}, HUB (16:17 Bible) Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kanda, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito{L} 6. Open the Twin Gate Title Match: Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii{W} (14:53 Top Rope Choke Slam) Mondai Ryu{L}, Cyber Kong *2nd Defense for MochiFuji
MAD BLANKEY came out after the opener. Mondai Ryu got on Fujii for wrestling a 5 minute opener in his home town. He challenged him to put the Twin Gate on the line tonight. Mochizuki was already facing Kong, so they should just make it a tag match. All sides agreed, so the match was set. Fujii said he would be competing in a 5 minute main event as well.
More Cyber friendly fire lead to the finish. Mondai Ryu blamed the loss on late match Team Veteran interference (which only happened to counter interference from MB). He called Fujii a dirty cheater, and promised revenge next time they come to Mie. Mochizuki said he wasn't worried at all because the next time they come to Mie Mondai Ryu probably wouldn't even be on the show.
In other news for Mochizuki today, he will be competing for New Japan in their World Tag League. He is teaming with Yuji Nagata in a team called Misters Anti Aging E&W. They will be in the A Block. The league runs from 11/20 through 12/2. The important shows Mocchy could miss are 11/23 in Saga, 12/1 in Kyoto, & 12/2 in Nagoya.

After nearly a week off, the gang is back on the road. In a BIG way!
11/17/2012 Osaka, BODYMAKER COLOSSEUM - 1100 Attendance 1. Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii{W} (12:17 Top Rope Choke Slam) BxB Hulk, Kzy{L} 2. Mondai Ryu (3:50 Inside Cradle after Low Blow) Kotoka 3. Jimmy Kanda (9:03 Gekokujoh Elbow) Super Shisa 4. Akira Tozawa, Scott Reed, Cyber Kong{W} (16:12 Cyber Bomb) YAMATO, Shingo Takagi, Super Shenlong III{L} 5. CIMA, Dragon Kid{W} (17:30 Ultra Hurricanrana) Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kagetora 6. Open the Triangle Gate Championship 3 Way Match: Gamma, HUB, Magnitude Kishiwada vs. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Shachihoko BOY vs. Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin -Gamma (22:35 Gammasuke Clutch) Horiguchi -Shachi (28:28 Orion) Gamma *The Shin-Imamiya Festival Trio fail in the 2nd defense, WORLD-1 International become the 38th Champion team
The Jimmys came out first for the opening MC. They talked about the title vs. disbands deal with Team Veteran, & their victory over them in Korakuen. They now also have WORLD-1 to deal with, but DoiYoshi aren't their enemies. This brought W1 out. After their trash talk in Korakuen, they couldn't backtrack on that now. Only one team was waking out with the titles tonight, and that was WORLD-1 International. This brought out the champion team. They mocked the Jimmys & their glasses. All sides argued a bit more, before leaving.
Mondai Ryu challenged MochiFujii to another Twin Gate match. He even let them pick his partner. Anyone except Kong. They picked Kzy. He didn't like that, and decided on Tanisaki. They decided to accept the challenge anyway, and it will take place during the upcoming swing through Kyushu.
Kong was pretty proud of himself for beating Shenlong. He told Mondai Ryu he better get up to speed or he would be left behind. He again went for a handshake with Reed, whose grip was too overpowering for him. MB left Kong behind.
Gamma was outraged after the main. He attacked Shachi, giving him the Gamma Special & stripping his mask. He eventually calmed down and helped Shachi put on his newly won title belt to make amends. The Jimmys challenged the new champions. It was accepted, but they didn't immediately announce which trio of Jimmys.
Shachi gave a short speech. He said up until today, he wasn't the type of wrestler that won titles. Last year he decided to improve his physical conditioning. Now he has found the best team mates he could ask for. By not giving up hope and perseverance, he opened a new path for himself. Doi said that frankly he didn't think Shachi would even make it to his debut match. Back then he was constantly surpassed by new trainees. But, as Shachi said, via endless hard work and perseverance he achieved his dream. His best amigo Yoshino was deeply moved to tears.

Congrats to BOY!

11/23/2012 Saga, Morodomi Heartful 1. CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii{W} (14:10 Top Rope Choke Slam) Naoki Tanisaki, Scott Reed, Cyber Kong{L} 2. Gamma (8:23 Pinned with One Foot after Gamma Special) Mondai Ryu 3. Dragon Kid (17:34 Ultra Hurricanrana) Jimmy Susumu 4. Open the Triangle Gate Title Match: Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin{W} (24:59 Arm Lock) Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Shachihoko BOY{L} *WORLD-1 fail in their 1st Defense, the Jimmys become the 39th Champion Team 5. YAMATO{W}, Shingo Takagi (31:58 Frankensteiner) BxB Hulk, Akira Tozawa{L}
Mondai Ryu blasted Kong for being such a loser. He was so far beneath the Mighty Mondai Ryu he should be hurry up and vanish from MB. Gamma hit him from behind with his Singapore Cane. He briefly mocked his terrible promo ability before kicking off their match. It looks like Mondai Ryu & Kong will be fighting in a singles match soon.
Kagetora challenged DK for the Brave Gate again. DK said he was a fighting champion, and as a fighting Brave Gate champion he would accept any and all challengers. Except Kagetora. He would not accept his challenge because he won't shut up about it and keeps challenging him. Kagetora was undeterred and said for the sake of the Jimmys he would get his challenge one day.
Horiguchi thanked the fans for supporting them. By winning today, they fulfilled their obligations to Team Veteran. The Jimmys won't have to split up. He turned to Shachi, who suffered an arm injury during the match that forced him to tap out. He asked him if W1 wanted a rematch. Yoshino said that injuries were part of being a pro wrestler. WORLD-1 wanted a rematch, but replacing Shachi will be the International X that will be teaming with DoiYoshi & CIMA in Korakuen. Saito demanded to know who it was. Yoshino said he wouldn't have to wait until 12/6. He brought out Ricochet! Ricochet greeted the fans and called Horiguchi bald. Saito accepted them as a challenger team, saying it would be fun to fight with Rico again. This brought out MAD BLANKEY. Tanisaki was upset over the Triangle Gate becoming a belt that only W1 & the Jimmys fight over. MB wanted a shot as well. Dolphin refused, especially since the team would have Mondai Ryu & Kong. No one wants to see that. Horiguchi did eventually relent and accept a MB challenge after the W1 rematch.
DoiYoshi ended this segment by telling the Saga locals that Ricochet would also be competing at FINAL GATE in Fukuoka.
YAMATO taunted Tozawa. He went on to say that the same result would happen if they faced off in a singles match. Tozawa was quick to accept, saying that YAMATO better have more than a flash pin ready. GM Yagi made the match for FINAL GATE.
Takagi had the same challenge ready for Hulk. They bickered back and forth for awhile, before I LIKE COLA began playing. CIMA talked for awhile about the various challenges from the new generation this year. Takagi & Hulk were the only ones left for CIMA to knock down. Instead of going the predictable route of making them fight to decide the next challenger, the next CIMA Royale be a 3 way title match. CIMA vs. Takagi vs. Hulk. He asked Yagi to make it official. They took turns promising victory. CIMA said he was the best and strongest champion. He would be in peak physical condition. FINAL GATE would end the same way it ended last year, with him as champion. Because he is CIMA.

12/2/2012 Aichi, Nagoya Congress Center - 1100 Attendance
1. Don Fujii{W}, Gamma (9:06 Thesz Press) Jimmy Kanda{L}, Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin
CIMA & Horiguchi bickered after the opener. CIMA promised victory for Team Veteran. Horiguchi noted that Mochizuki wasn't even in the building yet. CIMA said not to worry about Mocchy, as he would arrive after he was done with his match in New Japan. Horiguchi then inquired about the identity of the X in the main event. CIMA simply said he was X of Team Veteran Returns and they would have to wait for the match to find out more. Horiguchi told him it didn't really matter who he was because the Jimmys were going to win.
2. Cyber Kong (7:58 Cyber Bomb) Mondai Ryu 3. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Ricochet{W} (14:41 Shooting Star Press) Akira Tozawa, Scott Reed, Kzy{L} 4. BxB Hulk, Naoki Tanisaki{W} (18:41 Night Ride) YAMATO{L}, Shingo Takagi
The low ranks of -akatsuki- really came back on TakaYAMA today. They were left totally helpless in the face of the constant MAD BLANKEY interference. Tozawa blasted YAMATO with the yellow box to set up the finishing stretch. They were further doused with salt afterwards.
X was none other than Yuji Nagata. He shared the cab ride with Mocchy from Aichi Prefectural Gym to repay his debt from the NJPW tag league.
5. Team Veteran Returns vs. Jimmys 3 Elimination Match Series Round 3: CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki, Dragon Kid, Yuji Nagata (4-3) Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kagetora, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!! -Nagata (Backdrop Hold) Saito -Horiguchi (Backslide from Heaven) Mochizuki -(Both over the Top Rope) Nagata & Kagetora -Susumu (Over the Top Rope) CIMA -DK (23:32 Ultra Hurricanrana) Susumu
Nagata participated in the usual rubber band assault on Horiguchi, and all of Team Veteran adopted his demonic armbar.
CIMA celebrated the big victory in the final DG trip through Nagoya for 2012. He thanked Nagata for coming out after already wrestling once in his home promotion. Nagata was happy to help. However he took exception to being lumped in with Team Veteran because he surely was not of veteran age yet. In fact, none of them were. Team Veteran closed out the show with a rousing cheer.

CIMA{W}, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Ricochet (23:17 Meteora) Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!{L}, Jimmy Susumu, Ryo "Jimmy" Saito, Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin
Kikutaro challenged AraKen for the Owarai Gate. He accepted for 12/20 Korakuen. This will be fought under different rules than normal Owarai Gate matches. The Singing Battle rules from the last Korakuen of 2011 will return for this. After the match, regardless of who wins, both competitors will sing. The best singer will win the overall contest and the title.
DK & The Jimmys Jersey clad Dr. Muscle came out after the 2nd match. He was wearing Kagetoras jersey but was clearly Saito. He told DK he could have his title belt back if he gave Kagetora the Brave Gate shot he has been asking for. He agreed, & the match was set for FINAL GATE.
A Cyber Kong yellow box attack lead directly to the finishing stretch on Mochizuki. He then cut a terrible promo on him, promising to take the Twin Gate.
As promised, CIMA wore the WORLD-1 colours for the main event. Takagi & Hulk came out afterwards to argue with CIMA.
Doi announced that like last year the 12/20 Korakuen show will be the Fan Appreciation show. He then brought out...Doi Darts Christmas Special! It would b e used to set up a special 10 man tag for the show. Tozawa refused to have anything to do with it, and furthermore Santa Claus would not be coming this year. GM Yagi took great exception to that comment and told Tozawa that if he continued to shatter the dreams of young children or refuse to participate he would be fired for poor behaviour. The usual run of children, fans, and Kikuzawas were brought to the ring to throw the darts.
Chosen for the Red Corner were: CIMA, Yoshino, Hulk, Cyber, & Dr. Muscle Chosen for the Blue Corner were: Kanda, Reed, Tominaga, Horiguchi, & K-ness

Open the Owarai Gate Singing Duel: Kenichiro Arai (3:36 Inside Cradle) Kikutaro *Kikutaro becomes the 18th Champion via fan judgement in the singing portion of the contest 3. Shachihoko BOY (7:37 Moonsault Press) Super Shenlong III 4. Naruki Doi, Ricochet{W} (13:47 Shooting Star Press) Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin, Super Shisa{L} 5. Christmas Special Cake to the Face Crash Match: Masaaki Mochizuki (6:37 Twister) Mondai Ryu 6. YAMATO{W}, Shingo Takagi (14:56 Sleeper Hold) Akira Tozawa, Naoki Tanisaki{L} 7.

As expected, Karaoke machine made a surprise appearance after the wrestling portion of the Owarai Gate match to sing Yumeshibai. He was promptly attacked by Kanda, who unmasked him. This lead to the shocking revelation that Karaoke Machine is Don Fujii. They brawled to the back, preventing him from receiving any fan support for his song. Arai dressed as soul singer Akiko Wada, but sang Casablanca Dandy by Julie Kenji Sawada (while drinking several Lemon Sour drinks). Kikutaro sang Jackie's Song from Project A, the theme song for the Buyuden shows. He won the fan judgement, and once again is Owarai Gate champion.
Mochizuki & CIMA agreed that the one who got to smash Mondai Ryu with the cake should be Infinity TV show announcer Katsuya Ichikawa. He has been the victim of constant bullying from Kimata & MAD BLANKEY for most of this year. (They had taken over the announcing position in the balcony during the pre-show today). He came down to the ring, but was attacked and taken out with a salt attack. CIMA & Mocchy did little to help, and decided to pick someone else. Controversial researcher Hisashi Moriguchi happened to be in attendance, so he was brought in to a mixed reaction. He also had the cake snatched from him. Kimata ended up smashing the cake into Cyber Kongs' face. Kong yelled and screamed as if he was hit by acid. The whole ordeal was running exceedingly long for a live broadcast so CIMA & Mocchy sent the show off to intermission.
Dr. Muscle attacked Kanda right at the bell. After some brawling, he was unmasked to reveal....Don Fujii again. He continued in the match as Dr. Fujii, but had limited involvement due to a leg injury suffered a few days ago.
The show closed out with the entire roster (sans MB) giving short speeches thanking fans for their support in 2012 and their expected activity for 2013. Yoshino talked Doi into pulling his ass out, to the joy of all in attendance.
With that, the 2012 Korakuen Hall series came to a close.

Mondai Ryu blamed the Twin Gate loss entirely on Kong. Therefore, Kong was banished from MB for good. Kong left without any resistance whatsoever. Mondai Ryu went on to say that while they couldn't win the Twin because of how terrible Kong is, Hulk would capture the Dream Gate in the main event. Mochizuki said all this stuff related to Kong was pointless and irrelevant and there was no way Hulk could beat CIMA. There was also no way MB could take the Twin from them so don't bother challenging them. They wouldn't accept.
CIMA called all of his past challengers up to the ring. PAC obviously did not fly in just for this. He exchanged praise and handshakes with all of them. All had varying things to say but most of them assured CIMA that they would be coming for his head again at some point. Except for Cyber, all he did was thank CIMA profusely for the handshake. It was beginning to snow outside in Fukuoka so the closing speech would be brief. They would be back in Kokusai Center & Hakata Star Lanes many times next year so a simple "Thank You" would suffice.
Outside, in the snow, CIMA spoke to the fans via megaphone. He once again praised his opponents tonight. He asked the fans what the best wrestling organization in the world was. Naturally they replied "DRAGON GATE".

Turns out there was one more show in 2012 for Dragon Gate.
12/28/2012 Hyogo, Kobe Sambo Hall ~ THE LAST OF GATE 2012 1. Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kanda{W}, Jimmy Kagetora (11:41 Tornado de Acapulco) BxB Hulk, Akira Tozawa, Naoki Tanisaki{L} 2. 2012 Weakest Match #1: Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa (3:53 Ina Bauer German Suplex Hold) Kotoka 3. 2012 Weakest Match #2: Chihiro Tominaga (4:48 Triangle Choke) Cyber Kong 4. Dragon Kid, Gamma{W} (11:47 Gamma Special) Kzy, Mondai Ryu{L} 5. End of the Year Special Match: HUB (10:30 Moudoku Habu Kuubaku) Super Shisa 6. Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, Shachihoko BOY{W} (16:54 Moonsault Press) YAMATO, Shingo Takagi, Super Shenlong III{L} 7. Open the Triangle Gate: Ryo "Jimmy" Saito{W}, Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Mr. Quu Quu Toyonaka Dolphin (19:49 Premium Bridge) CIMA, Masaaki Mochizuki{L}, Don Fujii *3rd Defense
The Jimmys celebrated their win, which saved their very existence as a unit. Now that the focus on protection was over, it was time to advance. They wanted all the titles they didn't already hold.
First up was today's' loser, Mochizuki. Horiguchi & kanda want a Twin Gate shot. It was set up for 1/27 in Sambo Hall.
CIMA interrupted. He talked about defending the title 9 times in less than a year. He also talked about the retirement of professional baseball player Hideki Matsui. That got him thinking about the eventual time that he would be making the same decision. However, that time was certainly not now. In fact, his goal for 2013 was 12 defense. One in every month. He didn't have a first challenger yet, but Saito was quick to volunteer. CIMA asked him if he was even watching the end of FINAL GATE. Saito assured them that he was, and while CIMA has beaten some great wrestlers, he hasn't beaten him. The match was set for 1/20 in Osaka.
The crowd was reacting strangely at this point, so CIMA called on Doi & Yoshino to rally things. They decided that having Doi show off his ass would be the best course of action. In the midst of all this, Cyber Kong wandered into the ring. He thanked the fans for their warm reception to him earlier while he was officially confirmed as the worst wrestler in the company. While he couldn't approach the major titles, he wanted to help DG get back one that was held by an outsider. Therefore, in Sambo Hall next month he was challenging Owarai Gate champion Kikutaro of Akiba Pro Wrestling!
The show was closed out with the roster throwing autographed balls to the crowd.
They also quietly announced the King of Chop Grand Championship for the 1/27 Sambo. No word on whether Eita will return home for it.

Shisa delivered a message to -akatsuki- from K-ness & Arai. They were planning on giving them a special New Year gift. Defeat.
MB attacked after the 4th match. Tanisaki told CIMA to abandon his defense against someone as 3rd rate as Saito and give him a title shot instead. That way he could stop this whole ridiculous 12 defense idea right away. This lead to some arguing with QQ. He wanted his name back...again. Tanisaki was willing to put the ringname up again, but if he beats him again, QQ is gone from Dragon Gate forever. Yagi set the match for 1/27 in Sambo Hall.
Kong apologized for losing, and thanked DoiYoshi for the chance to team with them. He said he could see himself as a W1 member but he still had a few units to team with so he wasn't going to join just yet. He energetically walked away. Doi & Yoshino were confused by the whole ordeal, and told the fans to continue supporting WORLD-1 International efforts in 2013.
