GUNSO took Kabuki Kid and YO-HEY on promotion to hand out flyers and posters for the event, which was the first round of their tag league. The GinGin Boys were the tag champions in Dove. At this time YO-HEY, HAYATA & Tadasuke were freelancing in Noah by September of that year they would sign with the promotion and make an emotional farewell in December.
YO-HEY, HAYATA & Tadasuke all on the card
Tadasuke and HAYATA teaming together for the tag tournament, as were Naoki Tanizaki and Brother Yasshi. Tanizaki saying he was going to declare war on the GinGin Boys.
Ring was set up for a hardcore match as soon as the fans entered with a ladder set up in the ring in one corner, with a table in another with a pile of steel chairs underneath it, while the split curtain that the wrestlers enter\exit through was hung high up on the wall.
Usual fan chaos, some travelling a long distance there and a long distance back, work on very little sleep, and a group came into the venue and three of them lost their phones, with one getting a cracked screen.
Notable card
HAYATA & Tadasuke vs Naoki Tanizaki & Brother Yasshi vs Black Buffalo & Tsubasa (HAYATA & Tadasuke won). Fans called their team "Hayatada" (YO-HEY called them "Tadahaya").
The event
First match was naturally hardcore with Kubota Brothers vs SAGAT & Isami Kodaka vs Gunso & Jun Kasai. Someone commented, "I thought this was meant to be a tag division..." but the matches were all done as block battles with the two winners facing each other. Every item in the venue could be used as weapon. During the match Isami looked under the ring for weapons, but found nothing.

The GinGin Boys made a long entry, so long suffering and much put upon referee, Yoshino, sat and waited for them. He turned round to see their second Tanizaki had arrived at ringside with a can of beer.
YO-HEY had flashing glasses reading either "I ❤ you" or "YO-HEY" (he later gave them to a young fan at ringside).
Aoki was teaming with them as "Sunshine Aoki" (the irony considering 2019). The GinGin Boys won, and Aoki posed with them. Referee Yoshino was exhausted by the end of the event, and said he could hardly stand. He was even feeling dead the next day, although excited about "the future of experimental Aoki." During the match Ray Paloma got his nether regions mauled by The GinGin Boys, who left him upside down.
The league came down to 90% RATELS face off, Tadasuke & HAYATA vs The GinGin Boys (YO-HEY & Kenshin Chikano). By this time Dove were able to run shows in Tokyo, and YO-HEY (who accepted their challenge with a can of beer in hand) set the defense for ShinKiba.
