In 2007, the man that I consider to be the greatest professional wrestler, Ultimo Dragon, gave me what many would consider to be a great gift. To honour that gift, I spent time correcting my mistakes in wrestling.
For some people things come easy, but for me, things come only through hard work. I have learned, however, that nothing worth doing ever comes easy.
So after 18 years in wrestling, with the final 9 of those years training under Ultimo Dragon’s guidance, my final Dragon Gate ‘Toryumon’ exam came in two parts. The first part was to create a promotion that represented the first generation of Dragon Gate ‘Toryumon’. I had to build this promotion on my own, only accepting help when I absolutely needed it.
The promotion had to be created from nothing and would aim to reach the world outside of professional wrestling.
I called this promotion Abaddon.
