"Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa Bosou 10 Match Series

**The "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa Bosou 10 Match Series** is a ten-match trial series "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa undertook in Dragon Gate from March 2007 through July 2009. It is a follow-up to the original Stalker Ichikawa Bosou 10 Match Series from Toryumon Japan.

## Overview

After Stalker Ichikawa "retired" in November 12, 2006, he returned a week later as Stalker Ichikawa Z. He also immediately announced his intentions to start a new Bosou 10 Match Series. The new series would follow the same premise as the first, where he, widely regarded as the weakest wrestler in the world, would take one some of the most famous opponents in the business. This time around, he promised fans that the names he competed against would be even bigger than his prior undertaking.

Following the first match in the new series, Ichikawa embarked on his first United States trip in May 2007. Upon returning, he changed his name to "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa, which has since become permanent. He did wrestle once in the series in cosplay fashion, becoming ICHIKAWA, a parody of the heel persona of his opponent Great Sasuke. ICHIKAWA would actually end up winning the match, as a result of Sasuke nearly killing himself, as usual. This would be the only victory gained during the new series, but it was still nonetheless far more successful than his earlier effort.

DGUSA Freedom Fight

**Freedom Fight / Open The Freedom Gate** is a series of professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) events produced by Dragon Gate USA.

## Background

Freedom Fight will feature an undetermined number of professional wrestling matches that will involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers will be portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that build tension and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.

The main emphasis on this show is to inaugurate the company's title, the Open The Freedom Gate Championship. There will be a 14-man tournament featuring four qualifying matches before leading to a final, which will be contested as a four-way elimination match between the winners. The first qualifier announced was a three-way match between Mike Quackenbush, Super Crazy, and CIMA in a match billed as a "salute" to the trainer of all three men, Jorge Rivera. It was later announced Rivera was added to the match, making it a four-way. Proceeding this was the announcement of two singles matches being entitled, "Next Level" and "Redemption". The former will be pitting Davey Richards against one-half of the Open the Twin Gate Champions YAMATO. The other singles match was announced on November 3 to be Brian Kendrick versus BxB Hulk. There was also a six-way match announced with the first two competitors for the match being named as Nick and Matt Jackson. The final four participants were announced on November 3, giving the match a theme, "Generation New", as it highlights younger wrestlers. The names announced were: Jigsaw, Johnny Gargano, Lince Dorado, and Gran Akuma.

Following their previous two encounters at Enter the Dragon and Untouchable, Dragon Kid and Masato Yoshino have developed a rivalry to determine who is the better competitor. With Dragon Kid winning both times, a frustrated Yoshino confronted his rival at the latter show, which also drew Yoshino's tag team partner Naruki Doi (the two together are known as Speed Muscle) into the conflict, as well as Shingo Takagi coming to the aid of Dragon Kid. This prompted the company to sign a tag team match featuring both parties at this show.
