More from Dragon Gate USA…
From DGUSA.TV:
The final first round match for the tournament on 11/28 in Philadelphia at The Arena to determine the first Open The Freedom Gate Champion has been signed. The "Generation New" six-way bout will feature Nick Jackson vs. Matt Jackson vs. Jigsaw vs. Gran Akuma vs. Johnny Gargano vs. Lince Dorado. These six have shed the label of "tomorrow's stars" over the first two DGUSA events to prove they are the new generation. Now they will each have a chance to take a place among the elite by becoming the first DGUSA Champion. Here is how they each earned a chance to put their name in the history books:
- Matt & Nick Jackson: You know them as The Young Bucks and they immediately proved to be the foundation of DGUSA by defeating Dragon Gate veterans CIMA & Susumu Yokosuka on the first show.
- Jigsaw: Not only has he stepped up as a leader in the CHIKARA locker room, but he scored the fall in the eight man bout on the first DGUSA event.
- Lince Dorado: This high-flyer won the first ever FRAY! on 7/25/09.
- Johnny Gargano: This crafty ring general was the victor in FRAY! on 9/6/09.
- Gran Akuma: The hard-hitter proves that crime does pay as he has made an impact by siding with YAMATO.
