This PPV is headlined by a UWA Trios title match between a temporarily re-united Shin M2K (Masaaki Mochizuki, Kenichiro Arai and Dragon Kid) and Hagure Gundam (Yasshi, Dotti Shuji and Touru Owashi). The card is also notable for featuring the return of Henry II Sugawara to the full time Japan roster. I’m quite a fan of Sugawara’s, so it’s a most welcome return. The semi-main event of SUWA/TARU vs. Magnum TOKYO/Susumu Yokosuka provides an opportunity for Magu/SUWA to face each other in the run up to SUWA’s challenge for the UDG title…

These are dream matches chosen by the fans that take place on two different cards, one for singles bouts and one for tags. Due to the huge number of matches, most are cut down to the bare minimum, some of them to the point of being shown in “finish only” form. However, there are also some matches from mid-January TV tapings on this episode of VamoAmi that are shown at greater length…
This show is the last X show of 2003, from December, and focuses on the finals of the 2003 Young Dragons Cup. The YDC is the rookie equivalent of El Numero Uno, and the idea is that the winner goes onto bigger things after taking this title…
This show is headlined by Magnum TOKYO’s V3 defence of the Ultimo Dragon Gym championship (after successful defences against Don Fuji and Kenichiro Arai) against Milano Collection AT. The two had teamed together in the Rey de Parejas tag tournament in Autumn 2003, but they had a volatile break up when Milano got the impression that Magnum was using their alliance to duck his UDG title challenge…
