6. Open the Dream Gate Championship Match: Jimmy Susumu (29:40 Jumbo no Kachi!gatame) Shingo Takagi
*Takagi fails in his 4th Defense, Susumu becomes the 23rd Champion

The contract signing for the Dream Gate match was held at the open of the show. Susumu vowed to end his 10 year Dream Gate drought and take the title today. As Takagi had previously stated in Fukuoka, 2016 would be the year he exerts full dominance. A win over someone as beat up as Susumu wouldn’t even taste particularly sweet.

Maria wished everyone a Happy Valentines Day. Has everyone given chocolate to their special someone? She has some chocolate ready for a particular guy. She gave it to Mochizuki. She also had a kiss for him, but he only gets that when they win~♡. Mochizuki said that if they lose, they lose. No big deal…

She went to make good on the promise after the match but was attacked by Kotoka. He went as far as to strip her of her bra. It doesn’t matter how many wins she racks up. She has no unit. No titles. No nuts. He challenged her to come after the Brave Gate but warned that it would take a real man to beat him. Maria accepted but noted that you really didn’t need to be very manly to beat someone like Kotoka. Fine, it was decided. But Kotoka added that if he won, Maria would have to fight topless from then on.

Eita expressed his frustration after losing to DK. Within OG Yamamura & Ishida had CIMA, while PT had Gamma. Himself & Lindaman were mentorless. Eita asked DK to teach him his fighting style. DK was taken aback. He admitted he really wasn’t all that interested in Eita or anything. Eita struggled and learned in Mexico. He should show more of the Lucha stylings he learned there. He declined to teach him. Surprsingly, Fujii volunteered to mentor El Lindaman. Lindaman said he greatly greatly respected Mr. Don Fujii, but he had to decline. He wanted to break through on his own. Fujii indicated that he was now all in on the idea and would try again.

T-Hawk told Big R they were now even after Big got the win over him in back in Osaka. Although he initially thought they should be on opposite sides to create an exciting rivalry for the future, he has changed his mind. He invited Big R to MONSTER EXPRESS. Shimizu accepted. Together they would be unstoppable. He was looking forward to talking business with Yoshino & Tozawa. T-Hawk said that now it was time for them to find a target.

That target ended up being DoiYAMA. T-Hawk challenged them to a Twin Gate title match. Doi was floored at the audacity of this guy. DoiYAMA were the greatest Twin Gate champion team of all time. They have 9 defenses. They wouldn’t even consider the challenge from a team that doesn’t even have a win to their name. YAMATO knew that Big R was not a smart man, so he was going to break it down for him into really easy terms that even someone like him could understand. They have defended the Twin Gate 9 times. 9 teams up, 9 teams down. Shimizu & T-Hawk haven’t beaten anyone. That means “No, you can not have a title match”. Get the qualifications and you can have your match. Shimizu still didn’t really understand the particulars but if they needed to beat someone then that is what they would do. T-Hawk agreed.

Takagi was in a rage after losing, lashing out at everyone and everything. What the hell was that? Susumu told him it was something called a “2 count”. Takagi then moved on to blame a misaimed salt attack from YAMATO for it, even though it didn’t happen at the closing moments. Susumu said he was the winner. Period. Did he have anything else to say? Yes, he did. He wanted a rematch. Susumu said that would be fine, but he wasn’t going it to give it to him for free. Takagi would have to put something on the line. Takagi agreed. He said that if he loses, YAMATO would be kicked out of VERSERK. It was his fault that they are in this situation now anyway. Susumu called him out for such a bullshit stipulation. Takagi finally manned up and put his own membership in VERSERK on the line. YAMATO finally spoke up here. Takagi may have started wrestling before him, but he is younger than him. Takagi should be a little more respectful when addressing him. VERSERK left.

Susumu thanked the fans from the bottom of his heart for their support today. There were a lot of kids in the venue today. When he was a kid, all he dreamed of was being a pro wrestler. He is a 38 year old man now. But he is an old man that will, after 10 years, have his name written on the top prize in the company.

I risultati di "THE NEW BEGINNING IN NIIGATA", lo show NJPW all'Aore di Niigata. Da segnalare: 

- Toru Yano, Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe hanno riconquistato i titoli NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team, prendendosi dopo 3 giorni la rivincita su Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Tama Tonga. 

- Kazuchika Okada ha nuovamente proposto l'ingresso nei CHAOS ad Hirooki Goto, ancora una volta senza ottenere una risposta. 

- KUSHIDA ha difeso il titolo IWGP Jr. Heavyweight battendo BUSHI. 

- Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma si sono confermati campioni IWGP Tag Team, superando nuovamente Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows; nel post match Tama Tonga si è fatto avanti come prossimo sfidante insieme ad un tag partner, al momento misterioso. 

- Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows hanno salutato il pubblico con un inchino, proprio come AJ Styles lo scorso 5 gennaio, lasciando intendere che la loro avventura in NJPW è forse finita oggi. 

- Kenny Omega si è laureato nuovo campione IWGP Intercontinental, alle spese di Hiroshi Tanahashi (e grazie alle interferenze dei suoi compagni di stable), mettendo così le mani sul titolo reso vacante da Shinsuke Nakamura. 

- Escludendo Anderson & Gallows, gli altri membri del BULLET CLUB non hanno indossato i colori della stable, altro segnale che porterebbe a pensare alla fine del gruppo in NJPW, almeno dal punto di vista del nome.

devo dire che in questo ultimo match contro Tana l'overbooking c'è stato sì, ma gli ultimi minuti se li sono giocati ad armi pari con Elgin che ha pareggiato le cose. Che poi qui Omega doveva battere Tana, mica poco, spero che le prossime difese possano già essere più pulite.
