Dragon Gate is one of the largest independent Professional Wrestling federations in Japan - large enough that some wouldn't even call it an indy fed. It has broken the 10,000 attendance mark, and it has a weekly televised show.The promotion was created in 2004 when the Japanese branch of Último Dragón's Toryumon dissociated itself from him. As Dragón took the Torymon trademark with him, the company renamed to Dragon Gatenote Toryumon roughly translates to "climbing up dragon gate". It continued to produce young wrestlers from a dojo who would form a significant part of the roster (and in many cases, push the older Toryumon guys to the background), but it ended the isolationism. Dragon Gate has since become a visiting ground for many American wrestlers in Japan.In 2006, Dragon Gate sent six of their wrestlers - CIMA, Masato Yoshino, Naruki Doi, Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid, and Genki Horiguchi - to Ring of Honor. The match, a six-man tag team battle pitting the first three named against the last three, obtained the coveted Five Star Match rating and exposed Dragon Gate to an American audience.The federation expanded fully into the American market with Dragon Gate USA. Initially, it featured about 2/3rds of the regular DG roster and many big-name indy wrestlers from America. There has been significant interpromotion with CHIKARA. Although the promotion became Dragon Gate In Name Only when the last of the Dragon Gate wrestlers had been fazed out by 2014 and eventually came to the point of being entirely absorbed by EVOLVE before the USA titles, Open The Freedom Gate and Open The United Gate, were retired.2019 was a specially notable year for the promotion, as it changed its legendary red and black logo to a pink and white one and, in a move that had appeared impossible for fifteen years, Último Dragón reconciled with his students and joined the Dragon Gate roster.Dragon Gate recognizes and books the following titles. | |
