Dragon Gate Tag
I've always loved tag wrestling, and Dragon Gate's always managed to do it better than most. I agree with Bidoof that this match does seem to have been unfortunately forgotten, and a lot of that probably has to do with the talent on the challenger side. The thing about this match is that it was really a big step in the coming out parties of T-Hawk and Eita, but, well... T-Hawk just never really caught on despite the considerable effort put into him - he had to leave DG to become awesome - and Eita, depending on who you ask, has only recently found his legs with RED or still hasn't at all.

They were damn good here, though. The Millenials era, for my money, has been the best run for either guy in the company.

I never really got why DG was so laser-focused on T-Hawk. I always felt he was a good tag guy (and a good Naoki Tanisaki for those who remember that), but his singles matches were always such a drag. Like, if this guy was really the big ace of the company, then two guys as talented as Masato Yoshino and YAMATO should have been able to get so much more out of their matches with him. I don't even know what's been the big change between then and now where in a pre-COVID world he was really getting some attention.

As for Eita, I think the company's focus on T-Hawk and somewhat Kotoka had him coming up short. He had that really bizarre couple of weeks where he joined VerserK and then got kicked out. Then in Over Generation, what I saw in him with The Millennials just kind of vanished. He also has the unfortunate blemish of ANTIAS to him but I think everything has been coming together for him in R.E.D.

Oh, and if there's concern over shitty commentary then maybe I should hold off on some PWG recommendations. <_<
