K-Ness's Retirement Match:
Very few occasions are able to consistently draw the emotions out of its audience and the wrestlers involved. Dragon Gate retirements are among them. I never thought that highly of K-ness, only watching the twilight of his career but the raw emotion and sincerity of those in the match drew me in. In addition to being a highly emotional affair, this was an excellent bout in terms of wrestling as three of the four are still absolutely ready to go and K-ness was good despite him being on his last steps to retirement. Dragon Kid and Susumu were able to shine together with their chemistry. Susumu nailed Kzy and DK with violent lariats and was able to pull off an amazing death valley driver reversal to DK off Kzy's shoulders. Kzy and K-ness had their own "sorry, I love you" moment and despite it being easy to make fun of Shawn Michaels, the closing stretch was genuinely touching and deep. Kzy slowly beat down K-ness with elbows and upper cuts until K-ness could no longer kick out. The crowd broke the no-loud noise rule several times and deservedly so. The send off after the match was as touching as always. ****1/4
