Open The Dream Gate Title Match: CIMA (c) vs Masaaki Mochizuki - Dragon Gate The Gate Of Legend 2004 - 16/12/2004
Great match with an incredible ending with a hot crowd that went nuts for the result. Unlike the Susumu title defence (which is really good), the grappling was much better this time around with Mochizuki staying focused on the chest, also using it for kick practice as the match progressed. This was a respect filled match as neither tried to cheat in the match. This was a straight match with them telegraphing what each other was going to do, like CIMA stopping the Sankakugeri by Mochi very quickly and Mochi blocking the Schwein from CIMA before lighting CIMA up with the flurry of kicks for the finish. The match was full of neat counters like that and it added to the story greatly. This was a truly fantastic match with great wrestling and drama. ****1/2
