Despite this being their tour, their logo even covering the ring mat, GBH were completely beaten on today's house show. They lost all three tag matches, two to the regular army and one to BLACK, their "Hurricane" stalling. After his team won the main event, Nagata declared that as ace and champion, he will pressure the company into changing the match order on the next show by putting his and Iizuka's match against Choshu & Uwano in the main event spot above a GBH vs. BLACK trios match. Tomoaki Honma again found himself beaten in one of the three GBH defeats today, and was thrown down by a furious Tenzan after the match. Honma has still only managed to pin young lions since arriving in New Japan and is having a hard time. Once again, the "gold card" of Kanemoto & Wataru vs. Jado & Gedo was presented today and for the second time running, Aniki and his disciple won. The two are looking at the possibility of challenging IWGP Jr. Tag Champions, Togo & TAKA, but their immediate priority will be on the Best of the Super Jr. tournament that most juniors commented on today on the heels of the participants being announced. Kanemoto also mentioned his near official match with Masaaki Mochizuki on DRAGON GATE's 7/1 Kobe World Hall show and suggested that a fair match would be him vs. every DRAGON GATE wrestler and every DRAGON GATE fan. Former amaresu superstar turned New Japan young lion, Hirasawa, took a big step today by pinning "young lion wall" Takashi Uwano in the opening tag. I believe this is the first time he's managed this, and with some big tag matches on the next tour where he teams with Nakanishi, Hirasawa may be staring a promotion in the face.
