TITLE MATCH

DREAM ON 2022 FINAL, Ota Ward General Gymnasium, 21st May 2022

Dream on 2022 (Thursday May 5th 2022, Korakuen Hall, Tokyo)

Go Shiozaki, Masato Tanaka, Masa Kitamiya & Daiki Inaba vs The Sugiura Army (Takashi Sugiura & Hideki Suzuki) and Le Mexicana (Rene Dupree and El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Junior)

Sportsmanship prevailed between The Sugiura Army and Les Mexicanas, with a handshake and Rene Dupree started the match. Masa Kitamiya started for the other team. Fans were expecting this, as Kitamiya is in a new tag team, and everyone knew what was coming, especially as his targets were Rene Dupree and El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Junior. The focus of the match was very much on Masa Kitamiya. He targeted El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnrs legs, with so much intensity he had not the strength to support himself, or even lift his opponents. 

Relentless, Kitamiya kept up the attack and wore him down. 

WINNER: Masa Kitamiya with the Prison Lock on El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Junior (20 minutes, 39 seconds)

Masa Kitamiya was joined by his tag partner in the ring afterwards, and speaking in English (with "Cabron" thrown in) Kitamiya challenged the GHC Heavyweight Tag Champions for the belt.

Dream on 2022 (Thursday 19th May, Yokohama Radiant Hall)

Rene Dupree vs Michael Elgin

Very American style match with Rene Dupree doing quick sharp movements, some Japanese style undertones. 

WINNER: Neither. Match was counted out after 6 minutes and 51 seconds as both were counted out.

El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jnr vs Masa Kitamiya

Pre match Hoss fight ahead of the GHC Heavyweight tag. Both are well matched in terms of size and power, and so the advantage in this match went back and forth quickly. For Masa Kitamiya I think this match is more than a title match and more of a pre match. In 1964 his mentor, Masa Saito, competed in Olympics and as this match is so international, it's kind of an echo for him. Kitamiya is not just representing his team or himself, he's also representing Japan and fighting with that spirit, and he's also representing his master. By the time this match finished, it felt like Yokohama Radiant Hall had shifted a few inches. 

WINNER: EL Hijo Del Dr Wagner Junior with the STF Wagner (10 minutes, 41 seconds)

El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Junior had his revenge. He had made Kitamiya tap, which was how the title challenge was made in the first place. Their partners got in the ring, and Les Mexicanas loomed above them with their belts, bumping them together in celebration. Dupree had warned them earlier, they were hammering nails in to their own destruction. 

Dream on 2022 FINAL (Saturday May 21st, Ota Ward General Gymnasium)

The two teams were well matched in terms of size and power, the pre matches had been eventful too with a time out draw and a submission which gave both one win and one loss. It must be said that the challengers made a powerful team. 

WINNER: Masa Kitamiya with the Double Impact Type Powerbomb on El Hijo Del Dr Wagner Jnr (23 minutes, 22 seconds)

Next champions: Michael Elgin & Masa Kitamiya
