“Dove is the kind of pro wrestling where fans buy 7 inch vinyl because “this is the only place you can buy them”. It’s like a rural country restaurant that doesn’t have a chain, everyone says it’s good, but it’s only known to those in the know”
Gunso
There is a kind of sad story behind “BREAK ON THROUGH���. Gunso wanted to enter J-CUP (along with Ray) and he went to see Jushin Liger, who was drinking locally about it, but Liger turned him down! So Gunso did his own event, and named it after a song by The Doors.
In the early days of Dove, a metalworking shop put together the ring. They put it in a park and painted it to prevent rust. Eventually, the police put up a sign asking them to take it home right away! But they couldn’t. So they buried it! Then dug it up, painted it, and buried it
“This is my art, my work, and being completely free means being independent. We’re not forced to follow one set of values, and we don’t waver under the influence of others”
Gunso about the very unique Dove
“He thinks of a pro wrestler as someone who paints on-site in construction, I’m the kind of person who designs and buildings things from the materials themselves”
