-Eita vs. Jon Davis
Match in Five Words or Less: Two (Three?) Impressive Showings
Match Highlights: Davis continues trying to intimidate ring side folk. It doesn’t work. Someone timing his entrance strikes me as both humorous and pretentious at the same time. Davis sits in the corner as the bell rings. No contact made for the first minute. Shove by Davis. Choke and a clubbering blow to the back. Stomp. Series of bodyslams. Leg drop misses. Eita with a diving cross body. La maestral. Small package turned into a stalling vertical suplex by Davis. Back suplex. Clubbering blows. Chop but Eita no sells. Eita with a hard chop of his own. Forearm by Davis. Eita catches himself in the ropes and chops Davis in the back. Dropkick misses once. Doesn’t miss twice. Davis sent outside. Dropkick to the leg. Sliding dropkick. Moonsault to the floor. Double axehandle to the back. Dropkick off the top rope. Davis catches Eita in a powerbomb. German suplex and a short clothesline leads to a Davis victory.
Match Analysis: Davis squashes Eita to prove he’s better than Gargano. Fairly simple story. DG USA is trying, but it’s not translating. Not a great opener, which I guess was the idea, but I really feel like Eita could have been used more productively over the weekend.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: Jon Davis/6:18/**
-The Scene(Scott Reed and Caleb Konley w/Larry Dallas and Trina) vs. Tony Nese and Papadon
Match in Five Words or Less: Upstarts Get The Upset

Reed hides in the ropes from Nese. Armdrags from Nese. He maintains hold on the arm of Reed. Whip by reed. Back elbow by Nese. Moonsault misses. Clothesline by Reed. Superkick from Nese.

Match Analysis: One of the better Scene matches I’ve seen and it doesn’t have much to do with their efforts. Papadon is a bigger guy. This is the first time I’ve seen him but he showed some aptitude and I would not be opposed to seeing him again. Nese has always looked good in his performances for DG USA and Evolve. He certainly deserves bigger and better opportunities, especially considering his opponents.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: Tony Nese and Papadon/9:45/**1/2
-Scene get their heat back by tossing Nese and Papadon out. Then the Scene beat up Marti Belle. Dallas counts Belle down. Well, that’s a great way to pay off this weekend. Marti Belle literally does nothing the whole weekend and then gets beaten up. Productive use of time if I may say so. Sami Callihan and Arik Cannon make the save. So are Cannon and Callihan faces? Heels? I’m so confused.
-Arik Cannon vs. ACH
Match in Five Words or Less: Hopefully Not The Last Time
Match Highlights: Cannon attacks ACH right away. Chop on ACH. I guess Cannon is back to being a heel. Whip across. Boot by ACH. Rana off the middle rope. Shove in the corner. ACH with a double stomp. Back elbow by Cannon. ACH dropkicks Cannon outside. Tope suicida. Split legged moonsault but Cannon ducks. Superkick to the midsection. Clubbering blow. Cannon sent into the side of the ring.

Right hand by Cannon. Superkick. Brainbuster ends ACH’s night.
Match Analysis: This was good for the time given. I assume this was a try-out of sorts for ACH, so I can only assume that’s why he went under. But seriously, ACH should be brought back every single time out. There is no excuse for ACH to not be a focal point of the promotion in 2013. Cannon turned in a solid performance, but I have to question his purpose in DG USA moving forward.

These are two teams DG USA should honestly consider building around moving forward, especially SSB in relation to the Open the United Gate titles.

Match Analysis: It’s tough to take these two guys seriously sometimes, but when they apply themselves, they can still put on really good matches like they did here. Good work all around as they didn’t empty out the kitchen sink. They went appropriately violent without crossing the line or taking any ridiculous bumps. I don’t think blood would have enhanced this match in any conceivable way. I enjoyed this.

Match Analysis: CIMA ‘s strength has never been selling, and this match was no exception. Good action throughout but it didn’t really feel like anything was tangible was on the line. Not that I didn’t like what I saw but some sort of contendership should have been on the line.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: CIMA/15:04/***1/4
-Ricochet comes out to berate CIMA for what he did Friday night. Ricochet tells CIMA to stay out of his business. CIMA calls Ricochet childish… I think.

Match Analysis: I’d argue Del Sol was the MVP of the weekend considering he had three quality matches. Very good action, similar to the previous tag team match. I love Generico and Del Sol and would love it if they could tour Japan together as part of Dragon Gate. I think Del Sol working with Generico every night could do wonders for his career. He’s obviously going to be a focal point of the promotion moving forward, and I’m more convinced every day that he’s the right choice to be that high flying superstar.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: El Generico and Samuray Del Sol/15:16/***1/2

Match Analysis: if not for the effort put by these men throughout the year in the various titles defenses, I cannot imagine what the value of the Open the Freedom Gate would be. This was easily the best match of the weekend. Because no other match was an crazy, this was far more effective. The nearfalls did not come off as ridiculous as one might think. I loved the story being told throughout as Ricochet had to resort to low tactics in order to pin Fox. The Ricochet’s cockiness led to him being pinned. Gargano finally conquered Tozawa with heart and determinination. Outstanding stuff throughout.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: STILL Open the Freedom Gate Champion-Johnny Gargano/30:28/****1/2
-Gargano puts over the fans who braved a hurricane to make out on this night. Gargano talks about how grateful how they are to be able to entertain everyone. He points out how this is the last DG USA show of the year. Gargano says more shows are coming in January. He talks about lasting a full year as the champion. He talks about all the places he’s defended the championship. He vows to give it all he’s got. Gargano says the belt is going nowhere.
The Verdict: The main event makes Freedom Fight 2012 an easy thumbs up and a must watch show. This came off as a great cap off to what was at times a mixed bag of a weekend. After you get past the first couple matches, you run into a series of good to great to outstanding matches. Definitely check this show out.

-Eita vs. Jon Davis
Match in Five Words or Less: Two (Three?) Impressive Showings
Match Highlights: Davis continues trying to intimidate ring side folk. It doesn’t work. Someone timing his entrance strikes me as both humorous and pretentious at the same time.

Match Analysis: Davis squashes Eita to prove he’s better than Gargano. Fairly simple story. DG USA is trying, but it’s not translating. Not a great opener, which I guess was the idea, but I really feel like Eita could have been used more productively over the weekend.

-The Scene(Scott Reed and Caleb Konley w/Larry Dallas and Trina) vs. Tony Nese and Papadon
Match in Five Words or Less: Upstarts Get The Upset
Match Highlights: Papadon is the 2012 Super 8 winner while Nese is a former TNA contracted wrestler. Nese has made sporadic appearances within the WWN universe while this is Papadon’s debut.

Match Analysis: One of the better Scene matches I’ve seen and it doesn’t have much to do with their efforts. Papadon is a bigger guy. This is the first time I’ve seen him but he showed some aptitude and I would not be opposed to seeing him again. Nese has always looked good in his performances for DG USA and Evolve. He certainly deserves bigger and better opportunities, especially considering his opponents.
Winner (s)/Time/Rating: Tony Nese and Papadon/9:45/**1/2
-Scene get their heat back by tossing Nese and Papadon out. Then the Scene beat up Marti Belle. Dallas counts Belle down. Well, that’s a great way to pay off this weekend. Marti Belle literally does nothing the whole weekend and then gets beaten up. Productive use of time if I may say so. Sami Callihan and Arik Cannon make the save. So are Cannon and Callihan faces? Heels? I’m so confused.
-Arik Cannon vs. ACH

Match Highlights: Cannon attacks ACH right away. Chop on ACH. I guess Cannon is back to being a heel. Whip across. Boot by ACH. Rana off the middle rope. Shove in the corner. ACH with a double stomp.

Match Analysis: This was good for the time given. I assume this was a try-out of sorts for ACH, so I can only assume that’s why he went under. But seriously, ACH should be brought back every single time out. There is no excuse for ACH to not be a focal point of the promotion in 2013. Cannon turned in a solid performance, but I have to question his purpose in DG USA moving forward.

I don’t think blood would have enhanced this match in any conceivable way. I enjoyed this.

I love Generico and Del Sol and would love it if they could tour Japan together as part of Dragon Gate. I think Del Sol working with Generico every night could do wonders for his career. He’s obviously going to be a focal point of the promotion moving forward, and I’m more convinced every day that he’s the right choice to be that high flying superstar.

Match Analysis: if not for the effort put by these men throughout the year in the various titles defenses, I cannot imagine what the value of the Open the Freedom Gate would be. This was easily the best match of the weekend. Because no other match was an crazy, this was far more effective. The nearfalls did not come off as ridiculous as one might think. I loved the story being told throughout as Ricochet had to resort to low tactics in order to pin Fox. The Ricochet’s cockiness led to him being pinned. Gargano finally conquered Tozawa with heart and determinination. Outstanding stuff throughout.
