cobystag Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I thought the announcement was due on the 27th? I know it's only a week but still just checking. Â For anyone on the fence about the Ultimo Dragon seminar, I encourage you to check it out. Not only had he had a stellar wrestling career in Japan, America and Mexico including high profile stints in WAR, NJPW and WCW he's also one of only five people to hold the J Crown, 8 junior heavyweight wrestling title's at the same time. But what should make you pay good hard money to train with him is due to the amount of wrestlers he's had a hand in producing. Â He created Toryumon in 1997 and 14 out of the 33 active Dragon Gate wrestlers on the wiki roster (not including gaijins) were trained by Ultimo Dragon and 6 out of the current 7 Dragon Gate Champions (CIMA as Dream, Kid as Brave, all 3 of Horiguchi, Saito & Dolphin as Triangle and Fuji as Twin with Mochizuki). NJPW's latest star and former IWGP Heavyweight Champion who has been linked with WWE, Kazuchika Okada began his career as a Toryumon graduate. Shuji Kondo who holds both All Japan and NOAH's main cruiserweight belts came from Toryumon. Taiji Ishimori who was on both of NOAH's UK tours and is set to challenge Kondo in a few days came from Toryumon. Â So there would be no Dragon Gate without Ultimo, this generations star of NJPW began his career as Ultimo's disciple, Shuji Kondo is the most dominant junior heavyweight in Japan right now and Ishimori is NOAH's last hope in their junior division. Â Yeah, I'd say Ultimo is/was doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are chasing many talents for this event and our Swindon event 19th October, 2 huge events coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4FWpromoter Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Confirmed this evening, if youy have not seen him on his previous tours then you've missed out, plenty more to come. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamond_dust Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 John Walters, Ultimo Dragon and if the other Japanese name is who I think it is this could easily be the best night of my wrestling year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4FWpromoter Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 1 of the names that was set to appear on this event was Kenny Omega, the other star that was set to appear will now also be appearing in March, we have however confirmed a former WWE Superstar for 24th and 25th May, 4FW will be announcing this evening or first thing tomorrow, so far we have this announced. Â Wrestling Legend: Ultimo Dragon Former WWE Superstar: ???? Former RoH Pure Wrestling Champion and current Lucha Libre USA Champion: RJ Brewer/John Walters ????? ????? Â Any guesses to who the former WWE Superstar is? he has yet to come over here outside of WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted February 4, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 As a recent release, I'll take a punt on someone like Trent Baretta, purely as he's a good wrestler but wouldn't really overshadow Dragon but could still pull in random punters off the ex-WWE tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4FWpromoter Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 I will say, the name is really high profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_dezeeuw06 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 This show really is shaping up to be great but it's the same day as Southside Speed Kings! Â I so wish big wrestling events like these didn't clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
