Winners: CIMA & Ricochet to become the new Open the United Gate Champions

Star rating: (****1/2) – What a phenomenal match. Wow! They built up the match with long heat segments. I loved the heel work of CIMA and Ricochet as they worked over PAC for the bulk of the match. The last ten minutes of the match were pure electricity with great nearfalls. The entire building simply came to their feet and erupted for each nearfall for each time while being firmly behind Yoshino & PAC. The crowd was great at the finish booing the heck out of CIMA & Ricochet. This match is worth the price of admission on its own.

CIMA & Ricochet pretended to urinate like dogs on the Open the United Gate titles before flipping off the crowd. The crowd booed Ricochet so loudly once he got on the mic that it was impossible to hear what he said. Each time Ricochet tried to talk the crowd got all over him and drowned him out.

CIMA got on the mic and laughed manically. He told the fans to shut up and they booed louder. CIMA then flipped off the crowd with the rest of the Blood Warriors.

Overall score (n/a): - I can’t give this a score because of the technical problems that hampered some of the matches during the course of the show. What I can tell you is that the beginning of the show was red hot with several good matches.

The show finished with a fantastic match between Gargano and Doi. This was a star making win for Gargano, who challenged YAMATO to an Open the Freedom Gate Championship match after beating Doi.

The main event was simply amazing. The crowd heat was off the charts for the finish and both teams told a good story leading into an insane finishing sequence that had the entire crowd on their feet. The loud boos for Ricochet & CIMA winning the United Gate titles tells me DGUSA is headed in the right direction. I see so many good matches on the independents where heels win and the crowd celebrates and chants “that was awesome” after the match. Tonight the crowd booed the heck out of CIMA & Ricochet while they celebrated with the Blood Warriors.

DGUSA has really set themselves up for a hot string of shows in November. This is a very good show and they did a good job of fixing the lighting for the second half of the show. Unfortunately the stream wasn’t working at times, but those issues should be addressed when this goes up as a VOD on WWNLive in the near future. This show is well-worth going out of your way to see once the production issues are cleaned up, which shouldn’t take long.
