Dragon Gate Expands into the United States


Japan's Dragon Gate promotion announced its expansion into the US market last night at its Korakuen Hall event in Tokyo. The promotion has named Satoshi Oji as the President of Dragon Gate USA, with former ROH booker Gabe Sapolsky announced as the promotion's Vice President. The promotion has moved fast to add legitimacy to the announcement with the launch of its Dragon Gate USA website at www.DGUSA.tv last night along with a rather bold mission statement as well as details on their first US date which is scheduled for the 25th of July at the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia.

The following is from DGUSA.tv:

"Welcome to www.DGUSA.tv, the official website of Dragon Gate USA. You have discovered the haven for pro wrestling fans. Our goal is to be the premium brand in the United States. We invite you to explore the site and sample DGUSA's unique style.

Dragon Gate's roots started in Mexico in 1997. It became a Japanese-based promotion in 1999, before adopting the Dragon Gate name in 2004. Dragon Gate has rapidly grown and holds over 250 shows per year in Japan with crowds as big as 10,000 people. Now in 2009 Dragon Gate is branching out to the United States with Dragon Gate USA.

Dragon Gate USA will give the fans first class treatment while presenting a cutting-edge style. DGUSA puts an emphasis on athletic skill and competitive match-ups. DGUSA features charismatic stars in intriguing situations. We will operate under the motto of "Evolve, Progress, Appreciation." This was influenced by Dragon Gate's principles."
