(DOVE) Notes from the 28th April 2012 show

This small event was held at Kure University, Hiroshima. Crowd were said to be very different from the normal Dove crowd, which ruined it for the Dove faithful as they were a lot quieter, and sat and watched politely. The atmosphere was also offputting, as it didn't seem to gel with what the promotion is and what the promotion does. There was no HAYATA, YO-HEY or Tadasuke tonight, and seemingly only a handful of wrestlers. I think there must have been about four matches in total on the card, including the curry eating competition. 

The only wrestlers on the card included Gunso, Shoichi Uchida, Magnitude Kishiwada, Kabuki Kid, Souther, Ray Paloma, SUSUMU and a couple of others who were not Dove regulars.    

The event was streamed live on USTREAM, but as if to add more woe to the already unfamiliar surroundings, the stream managed to go down. Fans were happy with the quality, but not the commentators, especially as they seemed to know nothing about Dove and did not understand some of the wrestlers names either, and at times even remember who was who. 

During the break (a 30 minute one which seemed like a filler as there was hardly anyone on the card) Kabuki Kid won a curry eating competition. His opponents were SUSUMU, Souther and the general public who got into the ring to compete.
