The
Fight Network and Dragon Gate USA are pleased to announce a partnership
that will see some of the most action-packed professional wrestling
action coming to North America’s only 24/7 combat sports channel.
The
Fight Network will immediately begin airing a special preview show for
the forthcoming Dragon Gate USA pay-per-view that debuts on Sept. 4,
in addition to other video content courtesy of Dragon Gate USA.
"The
Fight Network has done a tremendous job of gathering a diverse range
of footage in the Combat Sports genre. It is only a natural fit for
Dragon Gate USA to offer these videos. The Fight Network is on the cutting
edge of everything that is fresh and original in the pugilistic arena
and there is nothing that evolves pro wrestling like Dragon Gate USA,”
said Gabe Sapolsky, Vice President of Dragon Gate USA.
Dragon Gate USA made its North American debut this past July with a
show that featured talent such as Naruki Doi, Shingo, Masato Yoshino
and the fast rising duo of The Young Bucks, highlights of which will
be part of the deal along with video recaps of upcoming events.
“Any fan of Japanese pro wrestling needs no introduction to the Dragon
Gate brand and with the debut of the Dragon Gate USA product, it was
a perfect fit to bring this innovative style of professional wrestling
to The Fight Network,” said John Pollock, who serves as a wrestling
analyst, host & producer at The Fight Network.
