(DOVE) VAPER wrestler Naoki Tanizaki's Handle with Care Battle News! ~ Dove's fight

17th February 2021

Battle News.com 

This is Naoki Tanizaki from Dove Wrestling. The second round of the rivalry between Dove Wrestling and STRONGHEARTS has begun. 

On the 14th, the form became a box office on the part of STRONGHEARTS, with each match being heated to the highest level. It was said to be like Style Wars, where unyielding pride collided. This was something that was said to be relentlessly transmitted by both the local group and on TwitCast. As expected, the fight burned. Even as a second, I feel like fighting. 

Don't misunderstand me, I didn't really care about the outcome of the day. When the Dove tune hits in the middle of the main event in the enemy's home, I felt the heat of the venue rise and accelerate in a moment, and become Dove style. I wondered if it wasn't only the customers, but also the opponents T-HAWK and El Lindaman also, that were all crazy and with a happy expression. 

They also got into the Dove style. With the raising of the tension of the customers, when the tension of the opponent explodes, and the anger comes out, I thought this was Dove, and a Dove style win regardless of victory or defeat. 

As it happens, El Lindaman and CIMA will challenge Yasshi and TiiDa for the tag belts on the 28th February. I believe that they will be sure to defend. 

(The rest of the article goes on to talk about Colega Studio, a venue, and doesn't mention Dove, so I have omitted it).

(DOVE) EVENT RECAP: THE GYM WARS #54 ~ RAY PALOMA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

As ever with these dojo shows, I don't have a card or many results, but today there was a special celebration held at the Tiger Gym dojo, as Ray Paloma celebrated his 46th birthday on February 20th (no, he's not 460 as Naoki Tanizaki seems to think, although this could have been a drunken typo), and Dove held a birthday party for him on the 21st. Ray was suffering a gout attack at the time of the party, but vowed to "celebrate even if I have to crawl". I think there must have been a tag with Shoichi Uchida and Ray, as Naoki Tanazaki said they were "in love" with each other. 

The roster paid tribute to Ray in their own different ways. 

~ BROTHER Yasshi turned up (cigarette in mouth, smoke blowing in the breeze) with a present in hand. 

~ Naoki Tanizaki spoke of a legend that when Ray walks through Hiroshima, people gaze at him in affection (this means Ray is a God, who cannot walk the streets without being mobbed).

~  "The dojo was full of love. It was Ray Paloma love" (Kyohei Kinoshita)

~ Shoichi Uchida said that since Ray was "descending on Osaka", he was taking the chance to increase his stamina. 

Tetsuya Goto (who we saw earlier at GymWars 53) was excited to be back in Dove, although he was pinned by Kabuki Kid in a singles match. He says he is frustrated to lose to a technique he currently uses. The referee of the event was Kenichi Yoshida (the other one had fled far far away to FREEDOMS, probably out of long experience of being at these types of events, especially when Ray and Uchida team together.)

At the end of the event, the Dove roster posed in the ring with Ray for a commemorative picture (Gunso was not in it, so perhaps he took the picture, as he was definitely on the card). Ray was given gifts by the fans (wine, what looked like a candle, flowers etc) and from the roster he received a cake. The last words on the event should go to Ray, who said that despite his gout and at the age of 46, he was still "bouncing and dancing in the ring". 

Lets leave the talk of his thong out of it.

The event can be viewed through TwitCasting, and will cost you 460 yen. You will get unlimited viewing until the event expires on Sunday March 7th 2021 at 23:59 JST.

(DOVE) Event recap: The Gym Wars #53

13th February 2021

Tigre Gym, Osaka

"I was terrified of the technique I saw for the first time! A big smile while screaming and giggling, ran round the opponent Gunso in circles who had sat down, and then unsteadily spun round in circles"

...lets just say Dove had a very special little guest visit.

I don't really have too much information on today's show apart from a few bits of information. There wasn't any continuation of the earlier storyline, probably because Ultimate Spider Junior was not in attendance. Due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic, attendance was limited to twenty people only (and they all turned up with beer). The event was streamed through TwitCasting (350 yen). You can view this until Saturday, February 27th 23:59 JST.

I'm not really too sure of the card, but Yuto Kikuchi was excited to be back in Dove, and Shoichi Uchida won the tag match he was in with "BROTHER" Yasshi (I am unsure as to who the other person was, but they fought against Tetsuya Goto. 

Kabuki Kid was also a referee during the event.
