- Press Release
…..
We are ready for the biggest weekend in Dragon Gate USA's short history with the "Enter The Dragon" PPV premiering on Friday night and the live event on Sunday in Chicago at The Congress Theater. Here is the latest from DGUSA.tv:
-5th row is almost sold out for Sunday's Chicago event. You can still reserve tickets online in the DGUSA.tv Store or by calling 267-519-9744 until Friday at midnight. At that point, you will still be able to buy tickets at the door on Sunday. There will definitely be tickets on sale Sunday, but 5th row will probably be sold out by then so we urge you to act by Friday at midnight if you want them.
-If you are attending this Sunday's show or thinking of going we strongly suggest you go to the www.DGUSA.tv Feature Articles section and read the "What You Need To Know" article as it covers ticket availability, entry into the building, merch, autograph signings, fan conduct, security and other details.
-Jim Ross said in his blog yesterday at JRsBarBQ.com that "Jerry Lawler and I will make a rare, personal appearance (for me any way) this Sunday at the much anticipated Dragon Gate (USA) wrestling event in Chicago at the Congress Theater...I look forward to the experience...." This is only the 3rd time that the legendary broadcast duo of JR & "The King" have appeared together for an autograph signing. Go to www.Highspots.com or read the "What You Need To Know" article for details.

-Dragon Gate USA's first PPV, "Enter The Dragon", will premiere this Friday, Sept. 4th, on iN DEMAND, TVN, DISH Network and in Canada on Viewer's Choice and Bell ExpressVU. We sent out some advance screeners to respected critics and journalists and here is what they had to say:
"...from start-to-finish, this is as good a wrestling PPV show as there has been." - Dave Meltzer in September 7th Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He gave the matches an unprecedented ****1/4, ****, ***3/4, ****1/4 and ****1/4.
"In all seriousness folks, everyone loves to clamor for something different and everyone loves to complain that "pro wrestling" doesn't exist the way they want it to...Dragon Gate USA is right there for you to watch and there is no way you can order this show and not be blown away, much less entertained." - Mike Johnson on Sept. 3rd at PWinsider.com
"Overall score (10.0): This is one of the best PPVs I've ever seen from a wrestling standpoint...I think in the future this is going to be a show people look back upon fondly as one of the better PPVs they've ever seen." - Sean Radican in Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter #1105
"The Dragon Gate USA PPV, which debuts September 4th nationwide on cable and satellite, may legitimately be the best wrestling show top to bottom in history" - Bryan Alvarez in August 25th Figure Four Weekly
