(DOVE) TOKYO BIG TAKEOVER 2017 (20th May 2017)

"TOKYO BIG TAKE OVER 2017, can you survive?"
Kabuki Kid 

"Dove Pro Wrestling is a public men's school, famous for gathering dangerous people. Lead by a charismatic gang leader, it has a strong sense of companionship. BASARA is a private, free-style international school. There is a faction in the school, and a group of Americans is now dominant. The two schools are in conflict."

Event was held at ShinKiba 1st Ring. GUNSO said something about changing it to the Tokyo Dome depending on the 100 people who wanted to come, then he settled on ShinKiba. Event was broadcast on NicoNico. 

Fans commented on the poster (apparently YO-HEY is making an obscene gesture, although I can't make out what it is), and were touched that despite the fact that Dove are not the most wealthy promotion, they took the time to get the flyers and posters printed on high quality paper. Speaking of paper, only ladies were given the GinGin boy currency today. 

Reserved seats went quickly, and it was noted that ShinKiba was overcrowded today, especially compared to how it was when Dove were last here. 

YO-HEY went fishing before the event, and made jokes about his "rod" becoming 70mm. 

Notable card
Tag championship match: GinGin Boys vs HAYATA & Tadasuke (challengers). By this time HAYATA, YO-HEY & Tadasuke were in Noah and had formed RATELS with Daisuke Harada. Fans wondered if Harada would attend. Harada didn't attend, and the GinGin Boys won, and they celebrated in true style.

Shoichi Uchida vs Black Buffalo 

Main event was GUNSO & Kabuki Kid vs Yuko Miyamoto & Kodaka Isami (Isami and Miyamoto won). 

The event
Aoki still called himself "Sunshine Aoki" - which is kind of ironic. 

"How to enjoy Dove wrestling. First, everyone drinks tequila"
Drinking started even before the event had begun, when Brother YASSHI and Kenshin Chikano came out with two bottles of tequila, and liberally poured drinks for the audience. Then YASSHI got in the ring and cut a promo about manners and morals. 

Tadasuke and HAYATA both sat down in the ring to wait for the GinGin Boys to finish their entry. They went round the arena three times! When they eventually got in the ring, Tadasuke threw bits of streamers at them, ripped up one of their fallen (watermarked) notes, and later spat water. The girls in the crowd however, were intoxicated by whatever spray it is that YO-HEY was using. Speaking of intoxication, Referee Yoshino would not let the two younger guys on the roster, Kinoshita and Aoki, have any tequila. 

Ray Paloma had a disco ball, and Uchida and Chikano were his seconds. The match was done like an old school wrestling match in catch style (although naturally it deviated from this when Paloma decided to take off his clothes), which went three minutes with five rounds each. In the interval the theme music from Shaolin Soccer was played. The match then turned into an MMA match, when Fukiya (an MMA fighter) put on a chokehold. After the match Paloma hugged everyone, who pretended to cry emotionally. 
Left in the ring, with the chairs that somehow Ray had set up and didn't use, and which everyone had just left standing and gone. Referee Yoshino said he was going to have to clear this up.

Main event was typically hardcore involving tables (Kabuki Kid was driven through one by Miyamoto), and Isami carved GUNSO'S forehead up using GUNSO'S own knives. 

Gunso announced that Dove would be returning to ShinKiba in November. After which, there was the usual drinks in the ring, and somehow they got HAYATA to do a shooting star press.
