Susumu blew off CIMA & Gamma after his match, furthering the dissension within W5.

After yet another RH/Gurentai messy DQ, Yoshino & Kid asked for another match. Kid said he would put up his mask. Ryo & MAZADA agreed, with their hair on the line. This lead to the return of the escape rules Hair vs. Mask cage match. Looks like it will be tag format this time. For whatever reason, Dr. Muscle is involved on the RH side, so it is currently 3 on 2. The match will happen at FINAL GATE in Fukuoka next month.

Tanisaki accepted the Super Shisa challenge from this past Korakuen, so he will be the next Brave challenger. Shisa swore he would not be Implanted.

The good Doctor once again showed off Susumu-ish tendencies. He managed to escape a mask assault from Gamma at the end, so his identity remains a mystery.

Mochi and Fujii passed on a rematch, since they are Triangle champions and have the Veteran/Young Generation war to focus on. Instead, CIMA and Gamma will get the next shot. YAMATO called them a comedy duo.

YAMATO also had his SUPER-J CUP 2009 participation confirmed, for 12/22 & 23.

Hulk and Doi shook hands after the main, no new challenger appeared yet. Presumably since the next challenger will be whoever wins King of Gate.

As they were leaving on the ramp, Ryo and Dr. Muscle attacked Hulk, going after his hair. Maybe that cage match isn't going to be 3 on 2 after all.

The attendance figure is identical to the 2008 GATE OF DESTINY. Last year was widely regarded as the best DG show of 2008. The only praised match thus far has been the Twin.
