Low Ki & Bad Influence Added To DGUSA Weekend Events

Mar 31, 2014

Dragon Gate USA sent out the following today…

It is with deep regret that DGUSA must inform our audience of the unfortunate fact Dragon Gate (Japanese) talent will not be able to perform on WrestleMania weekend shows. We have a prepared a series of replacements. We have already announced the first time ever matchup pitting Masato Tanaka against Chris Hero on the Friday night DGUSA show. As the entire pro wrestling world converges on New Orleans this week, the last thing our audience wants to hear or read about is promotional drama. We know you have practically unlimited choices this coming week, and we are going to make sure all those who chose and choose to support DGUSA are rewarded with the best experience we can possibly provide. Here are our replacements….

Low Ki will make his return to DGUSA and have his first high profile matches in over a year at the Friday and Saturday night events. It will be Low Ki vs. Trent Baretta at DGUSA on Fridayand Low Ki vs. Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano at DGUSA on Saturday.

Bad Influence of Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian will wrestle at the DGUSA event on Saturday. We will have a top tag team for them to face. This will be a special main event for the live ticket holders. This match will not be on iPPV or DVD. Daniels and Kazarian’s opponents will be determined after the results of the Six Man Tag Team Tournament that night. They will be the best possible opponents. This is sure to be a unique experience when these TNA superstars invade
