Dragon Gate NEX

***Dragon Gate NEX***
 **Parent** | GaoraNicoNico

***Dragon Gate NEX***, is a live show produced by Dragon Gate, which exclusively features the promotion's rookie wrestlers and some talent of the Dragon Gate main roster.

## History

In 2006, the NEX project was announced. It would be a series of shows and events that would focus on the recent graduates of the Dragon Gate Dojo, allowing for them to gain experience in ability while also being seen as the main attraction of a show. Virtually all of the shows take place in the Dragon Gate Arena, the main training ring at the Dragon Gate offices in Kobe, Japan.

In addition to the recent graduates, comedy characters, gaijin talent, and any freelance wrestler currently on tour in Japan will also compete on these shows. The occasional main card member of the roster will also compete. This is done to enhance the experience to be gained for the trainees and teach the outsiders in how to compete in the Dragon System of wrestling.

The vast majority of NEX shows are called "Sanctuary" and they are held twice a month. They generally draw an attendance of around 90 fans due to the limited size and space of the venue. There are also special shows called "Premium," which are the equivalent in atmosphere of pay-per-view. These shows involve the main card members of the roster and will draw up to 100 in the attendance. Early in NEX, they ran two anniversary shows at Shin-Kiba 1st RING in Tokyo, Japan, although this has since been discontinued.
Hisashi Shinma

###

Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan

**Hisashi Shinma** (新間寿, *Shinma Hisashi*) (born March 22, 1935) is a Japanese booker and promoter who currently works for Real Japan Pro Wrestling (RJPW) as chairman for the promotion. He's known for his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) where he was the chairman of the promotion and he would also help Satoru Sayama's career with the Tiger Mask gimmick and discovering talents like Akira Maeda whom would both form the UWF promotion after he and Maeda and several others left NJPW. Shinma would remain in UWF until disagreements he had with Sayama over his matches. He also co-founded Universal Lucha Libre with Gran Hamada.

## Career

Shinma was chairman and one of the bookers for New Japan Pro Wrestling at the time and negotiated a talent-sharing arrangement with the World Wrestling Federation within the junior heavyweight division, which ultimately launched Tatsumi Fujinami as an international superstar and an eventual successor to Antonio Inoki.

Shinma’s most famous moment as WWF President occurred on December 6, 1979, after Bob Backlund regained the WWF title from Antonio Inoki at the end of his Japan tour. Shinma overruled the decision due to interference from Tiger Jeet Singh. Inoki refused to accept the belt, but Backlund regained the vacant title after returning to the United States. Backlund's title loss to Inoki is still not officially acknowledged by WWE and was kept hidden from American audiences until Pro Wrestling Illustrated recognized Inoki's reign in the late 1990s.

Shinma's other accomplishments included fitting Satoru Sayama with the Tiger Mask gimmick, discovering Akira Maeda, and forming the UWF in Japan after leaving New Japan. Shinma remained in UWF until disagreements arose with Sayama over the match content.

His son Hisatsune Shinma was also a promoter, and co-founded Universal Lucha Libre with Gran Hamada, one of the original UWF members, but with the promotion focus on the Lucha libre style brought from Mexico.

Dragon Fire ~The Final Challenge~

**Dragon Fire ~The Final Challenge~** was an Ultimo Dragon Productions event. It took place on October 14, 2004 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

## Overview

Dragon Fire was the first event promoted by Ultimo Dragon in Japan without actually using the Toryumon name, though it would use the Toryumon X ring and feature a talent roster made up largely of the Ultimo Dragon Gym 3rd Class graduates. As such, the show is often mistaken as a Toryumon X event.

The first two matches were a unique Loser of the Dragon Way. Three trios teams and Manabu Murakami competed in groups. The first two teams to successfully score a fall no longer had to compete, while the others must then face off in an elimination match. The winner of each fall, again, no longer had to compete, until the sole wrestler to not score a fall is deemed the Loser of the Dragon Way.

The show was most notable for the main event where three of the then four wrestlers to have competed as Tiger Mask teamed together as the character against Ultimo Dragon, Great Sasuke, and Jushin Thunder Liger. The three Tiger Mask wrestlers to compete were Satoru Sayama (Original Tiger Mask), Koji Kanemoto (Tiger Mask III), and Tiger Mask IV.
J-Crown

The **J-Crown** (also known as **J-Crown Octuple Unified Championship**) was formed originally by New Japan Pro Wrestling as a way of unifying eight junior heavyweight and cruiserweight titles from several different organizations. The J-Crown tournament was held in August 1996.

## History

The J-Crown was the unification of eight different championship belts from five different organizations, including ones from both Japan and Mexico. The tournament to crown the first champions was held over four nights, from August 2 to August 5, 1996, the same New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual G1 Climax event took place, promoting two major tournaments on one tour. Jushin Thunder Liger is credited with coming up with the idea for the J-Crown. The inaugural champion was The Great Sasuke.

The J-Crown was defended for just over a year. While Ultimo Drágon was champion, the titles appeared on World Championship Wrestling programming, as Dragon also held the WCW Cruiserweight Championship and the NWA World Middleweight Championship at the time. When Liger was champion, he lost the WAR International Junior Heavyweight Championship to Yuji Yasuraoka on June 6, 1997 in Tokyo, Japan. Liger, however, continued to defend the J-Crown with seven titles instead of eight.

Five months later, as the World Wrestling Federation was getting ready to introduce a new Light Heavyweight title, they became aware that the original Light Heavyweight Championship belt was no longer in their possession. (The physical belt had long since been in use in Mexico for the Universal Wrestling Association and in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling.) WWF demanded that Shinjiro Otani, the current J-Crown Champion at the time, return the belt to them immediately. He did so on November 5, 1997. On the same day, he also vacated all of the remaining titles, except for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, effectively ending the J-Crown.

Global Lua Modules/YearNav

## YearNav

**YearNav** is a module designed to make it easier to traverse year-based pages or categories. It looks for a four-digit year in the page title, then provides links to similarly-named pages for other years. Which years are linked to can be modified, as can the form of the output.

## Use

{{#invoke:YearNav|YearNav|pattern}}

The pattern is where you put which years to link to as well as any special styling to them. It interprets ####+X or ####-X as where to place links to pages for years X away from the current page. If not specified the default pattern is: ####-10 ・・ ####-1 ・ '''####''' ・ ####+1 ・・ ####+10

The pattern is pretty open, but some things will break it--particularly multiple curly brackets or pipe characters. In some cases it may be the better solution to invoke the module on the inside of something. For instance, instead of using the pattern from the immediate previous example, you'd get the same result from doing
