(DOVE) 21st February 2014 ~ Dotonbori Arena

"Fusion of club atmosphere and professional wrestling"

Sadly, the Dotonbori Arena shut down in March 2014, it reopened October 2015 but then shut again. I'm not sure of what has become of the premises since.

Card
Tadasuke has a special send off match tonight as he is going to America on expedition, he will be facing HAYATA (HAYATA won with the Headache).

YO-HEY has a knee injury so he isn't competing, however, he said he would be there to drink Sake and watch.

The Event
The Kubota Brothers vs Shoichi Uchida & Kaiki was changed to a hardcore match last moment

Green Ant & Ophidian challenged PaloBilly (Ray Paloma and BillyKenKid) for the tag titles, and yes, there was a dance off between the four of them. However, the Dove team retained the belts.

HAYATA made a sneak attack on Tadasuke before the bell rang

After the main event title match, Tadasuke sat in the ring and made an emotional farewell on the microphone to the fans and the promotion. Afterwards there was the usual toast with Tequila.

Other
~ One of the Kubota brothers mentioned his busy schedule, likening it to a mini band tour, he even mentioned that he would be appearing in Noah on the 27th February.
~ KabukiKid bought homemade food to the venue
~ As there was a long bus drive tomorrow to Tokyo, HAYATA said he was staying up all night.
