Vendetta Pro / Dragon Gate USA - January 2013 Reflexion 2013 and Open The Golden Gate 2013 were professional wrestling events held jointly by Vendetta Pro Wrestling and Dragon Gate USA , both taking place on January 25 , 2013 at the Lakeview Jr . High School Gymnasium in Santa Maria , California . Vendetta Pro ' s Reflexion 2013 event served as a " pre - show " for Dragon Gate USA ' s Open The Golden Gate event . This was the first of three events held that weekend by Dragon Gate USA , with the others taking place in Huntington Park , California . The event was recorded and is available for On Demand viewing by members at WWNLive . com . The Vendetta Pro portion is included , and was also recorded for eventual television broadcast on " Vendetta Pro Wrestling TV " . Event Notes . Reflexion 2013 and Open The Golden Gate 2013 featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre - existing scripted feuds , plots , and storylines that played out both on Vendetta Pro Wrestling ' s and Dragon Gate USA ' s previous events . Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension , and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches . The opener for the evening would be a rematch from the show - stealing match at Terror Rising 2012 , as Lil Cholo would take on SoCal Crazy and titleholder El Scorpio del Combate for the Vendetta Pro Wrestling Tri - Force Championship . The Creepshow and Parental Discretion factions had been battling back - and - forth for over a year . The Vendetta Pro Main Event would feature a No - Holds - Barred Santa Maria Street Fight , which was intended to be a decisive match in this conflict . Parental Discretion signed " The Psycho Shooter " Drake Younger into their faction prior to this match . J . D . Horror of Creepshow had recently battled Younger in a Ballistic Barbed Wire Massacre at September 2 Remember 2012 , and had viewed Younger as a role model . Horror saw this as a betrayal of sorts , but Younger stated that he told Horror he was " only a phone call away " , but the call never came from Horror and when it did , it was Mario Banks of Parental Discretion on the other end . Banks was once the protege of Creepshow ' s Brawlin ' Bo Cooper , but had turned on Cooper back at Reflexion 2012 . Another long running feud was between The Ballard Brothers and SU / KA . Sunami had defeated Shannon Ballard for the Vendetta Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship back at Reflexion 2012 , but then was defeated to lose the title back to Shannon at Shamrock Slam . In fact , the man who made the pin was not Shannon , but his identical twin brother Shane Ballard . Kadin Anthony had returned that night to try to help his partner and " brother " Sunami , so in - return , Sunami would trade in his rematch for the Heavyweight title for a shot at another set of long - time rivals , Dos Perfectos . SU / KA would defeated Dos Perfectos and win the Unified Tag - Team Championships at Melee 2012 , but would eventually lose those titles to The Ballard Brothers at Terror Rising 2012 . At All Pro Wrestling ' s Gym Wars event in November 2012 , SU / KA would lose to The Suburban Commandos , making the Commandos the number - one contenders for the Unified Tag - Team titles . However , Vendetta Pro Commissioner Joseph Duncan would convince APW Commissioner Larry Blackwell to allow SU / KA to also challenge for the titles at APW ' s Kristmas Kaos in December 2012 . The Suburban Commandos would win the Unified titles in a Triangle Tag - Team Match against both SU / KA and The Ballards , pinning Kadin Anthony to take the titles away from the Ballards . Shane and Shannon were upset and blamed SU / KA for the Commandos winning , and so , this match was made in hopes of establishing which Vendetta Pro team would be the top contenders for the titles . As for Dragon Gate USA , this would be the first of three events in their tour of California . Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano would be in action , but the title would not be on the line ( he would make title defenses on both the second and third nights of the tour ) . Open The United Gate Champion AR Fox would also be in action , but his Tag partner and Co - titleholder CIMA would be unable to make the tour due to commitments in Japan . Instead , Fox would take on Chuck Taylor and Jon Davis in an EVOLVE match . The Main Event of the evening would feature John Morrison ' s Dragon Gate USA debut , as he would take on Akira Tozawa . This would be the only night of the tour in which Morrison would be in action . Due to school restrictions , the event would be the only one of the tour not featured on Live iPPV . However , the event was recorded and is now available , along with the other two nights of the tour , for On - Demand viewing for members . Other on - screen talent .
