THIS WEEKEND: MY FIRST DGUSA EXPERIENCE - WINDSOR & TORONTO

I feel like I need to start doing push-ups and pulling cars in the snow to properly brace myself for this weekend. I literally lose my breath just watching Dragon Gate on PPV, so I'm almost certain I'll have some sort of fatal asthma attack seeing it live. This is supposed to be a testament to how intense DGUSA is, not to how much of a pile of crap I am.

I'll be hitting up both Windsor (driving the four hours or whatever it is from Toronto) and Toronto (obvs) and then I fly to Europe on Sunday for two weeks, so I am being a complete douchebag to my girlfriend. But this is just the kind of behaviour you would expect from a wrestling nerd when Dragon Gate comes to Canada for the first time.

Looking over the cards for both nights makes me realize how fun this will be. I'm getting to see a TON of guys I normally would never see (not just DGUSA guys, but CHIKARA guys that appear in both like Quack, Jigsaw, etc.), plus PAC is making his debut with the company this weekend.

Not only that, but FIP World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley (a dude I've mentioned before) is on both cards, so it'll be fun to see him. I think he's badass, at least from what little I've seen.

Here's the full lineup for this weekend. I'll have some sort of review for the shows eventually as well:
