* After the main event of the show on the 16th, Blood Warriors leader Akira Tozawa called out five of the Junction Three remnants and challenged them to a match. Mochizuki, Dragon Kid, Shingo, YAMATO and shockingly CIMA answered the call. The former Blood Warriors now has a common enemy with the former JIII members. It was Mochizuki who brought CIMA out, to which YAMATO and Shingo were wary, but Dragon Kid was okay with it.

The ten man tag match will take place in Aichi on February the 26th, and the Blood Warriors team will consist of Tozawa, BxB Hulk, Cyber Kong, Naruki Doi and Yasushi Kanda. 

(Thanks to http://IheartDG.com for that information too)

Thoughts: Blood Warriors surprisingly haven’t faired too well in the main events this past week, winning one and losing three six man tags. Hopefully they will get it together and defeat the former JIII/CIMA team on the 26th. 

I’m surprised to see Tominaga got to go ten minutes with Mochi (on the 18th), that’s pretty cool. This could be a great year for the most recent graduate of the Dragon Gate dojo.
