Farewell Jimmyz Gate was a series of six events in Japan, produced by the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate (DG), which took place between September 21 and October 1, 2017. The tour was first held in Hyogo, while it had previously been held in the other four cities; Hyogo, Saitama, Nagano and Okayama whilst it's was also held in Hakata and Tokyo in the Korakuen Hall.
The tour saw the last time that Jimmyz were together as a unit before separate each other and following their own paths. The first show featured six matches with the main event being a six-man tag team match, whilst the other five events featured five matches each with the final event will feature six matches with one of them being a match between CIMA, Don Fujii and Masaaki Mochizuki against the team of Michinoku Pro Wrestling (Jinsei Shinzaki and The Great Sasuke) and Kaientai Dojo's Taka Michinoku and Jimmyz's final match where all the former members were against VerserK (Shingo Takagi, T-Hawk, El Lindaman, Takashi Yoshida, Punch Tominaga and "brother" YASSHI), this would mark YASSHI's return after five months.
Background[]
The Farewell Jimmyz Gate aired in Japan through Dragon Gate's internet streaming site, Niconico, with Japanese language commentaries. The Japanese commentary will be provided by Katsuya Ichikawa. The event also aired on tape delay on Japanese TV Gaora Sports to be launched in Dragon Gate's ~ Infinity ~ Series.
After the 2017 Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival the 5 Units Survival Race started, where all units faced each other in various matches. Thus led on September 16 after both Jimmyz and VerserK lost their respective matches, it was announced that both units would face each other in the Losing Disbands match. This situation happened in the past during the Generation Warfare period in Dragon Gate.
On September 18, at Dangerous Gate, VerserK (Shingo Takagi, T-Hawk, El Lindaman, Takashi Yoshida and Punch Tominaga) would defeat Jimmyz (Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy Kanda, Jimmy K-ness J.K.S. and Genki Horiguchi H.A.Gee.Mee!!) in a Ten-Man Elimination No Disqualification Loser Disbands Match, thus forcing Jimmyz to disband. After the match, the former Jimmyz members talked about how they started 6 years ago and then they announced that they would team up until the next Korakuen Hall on October 5 in a tour, in which was later announced as Farewell Jimmyz Gate.
Also, on September 18, Masaaki Mochizuki defeated YAMATO to win the Open the Dream Gate Championship for his third time. After the match, Mochizuki talked about his trip to Europe and that in the next Korakuen Hall he would team up with CIMA and Don Fujii to face the team of Michinoku Pro Wrestling Jinsei Shinzaki, The Great Sasuke and Kaientai Dojo's Taka Michinoku, in which was on October 5 at the final date of the tour.
