Toryumon

From Freepedia

Toryumon was the name of Ultimo Dragon's professional wrestling school and the associated professional wrestling promotion. The school had dojos both in Mexico and Japan. The school also ran professional wrestling events under the banners of it's graduating groups.

The groups were:

  • Toryumon Japan - It's members use a style almost identical to their teacher.
  • Toryumon 2000 Project (T2P) - This group used a six sided ring compared to the first group which used four sided rings. It's members used a primarily submission based style called Llave.
  • Toryumon X - More lucha libre based compared to the others. This is the only group that is still active under it's original name.

When Ultimo Dragon returned from retirement Takashi Okamura took over as the company head. A day after the fift anniversary of Toryumon's first event Ultimo Dragon left the company, taking the name and trademarks with him. Toryumon Japan changed it's name to Dragon Gate because of this. Dragon Gate returned all the titles it had promoted as Toryumon Japan to the people that held the belts last before they started promoting them.
