Gunso
Event took place in a snowy Hiroshima. This would be the last event of Dove in their "turbulent 2017" as BillyKenKid put it. Yasshi said this was a "dangerous way" to spend his Christmas (this is someone who drinks and smokes in the ring, because this is Dove).
Dove sold their own Christmas cards.
No. I'm not kidding. Click on the link.
Kenshin Chikano had two business ventures; a calendar (which he sold ten copies at max of) and a Taco bar. YO-HEY babbled something about Kenshin making Chanko, and mentioned the disaster of the Soy Sauce Chanko he had apparently made a few years ago...anyway, YO-HEY turned up to help Kenshin make Tacos.
In Noah, YO-HEY & HAYATA were the GHC Junior Tag Team Champions at the time, and sadly this was to be their farewell to Dove. Fans prepared special paper tape for them.
There was an aftershow party at Ray Paloma's restaurant, Acapulco.
Notable card
Yuki Aoki vs YO-HEY, in which Aoki was chopped red raw. YO-HEY won with the Face G and afterwards hugged Aoki goodbye.
Kenshin Chikano vs HAYATA (HAYATA was the Dove World Heavyweight champion)
Tadasuke was not on the card.
The event
"No alcohol, no Dove"
Aoki got some GinGin money from a fan, and put it down his pants. Inside the ring, Referee Yoshino was trying to get YO-HEY to hurry up and get in the ring. Naturally his entry took a while as fans wanted to say goodbye to him.
HAYATA defeated Chikano with the Headache and retained the belt, and in an emotional moment he quietly laid the belt in the middle of the ring, bowed to it deeply and then left, which caused YO-HEY to cry. On the ramp the Dove roster were waiting and they gave he and YO-HEY (who had been seconding HAYATA, but also made time for old friend Kenshin) a send off with handshakes and hugs. Fans wept, as did GUNSO with HAYATA.
Afterwards, the rest of the roster got in the ring with Kenshin making a speech in Hiroshima dialect about his loss today.
