Over Generation is a professional wrestling stable in the Japanese promotion Dragon Gate. It was formed on October 8, 2015 by Cima, Eita, Gamma, El Lindaman, Punch Tominaga, and rookies Kaito Ishida and Takehiro Yamamura. On April 7, the group invited Dragon Kid to join the stable, and Kid joined, forming a team with Eita.
History
On June 14, Cima, Don Fujii, and Gamma defeated the Jimmyz (Genki Horiguchi, H.A.Gee.Mee!!, Jimmy Susumu, and Ryo "Jimmy" Saito) to win the Open the Triangle Gate Championship. On September 23, Eita was kicked out of VerserK. On October 4, Punch Tominaga turned on Shingo Takagi. On October 8, during the Open Triangle Gate match, all members of VerserK tried to help Kotoka and Cyber Kong, and Takagi, but Punch Tominaga helped Cima and Gamma, allowing them to win. After the match, they attacked them, but Eita made the save. He then joined forces with his former Milleninals stablemate, El Lindaman, and the two rookies, Kaito Ishida and Takehiro Yamamura, to form a new stable to defeat VerserK. However, Fujii refused to join them. On November 1, the stable was named Over Generation. The name combines elements of the old and young generations, and Cima's previous stable, Blood Generation. On the same day, Cima, Gamma, and Don Fujii defended the Open the Triangle Gate Championship against the Jimmyz (Jimmy Susumu, Jimmy K-Ness, and Ryo "Jimmy" Saito), and vacated the title afterward. On December 3, Gamma unsuccessfully challenged Shingo Takagi for the Open the Dream Gate Championship, due to massive interference by VerserK. The match was declared a no contest. Following the match, CIMA challenged Takagi for the Open The Dream Gate Championship. After Cima, Don Fujii, and Gamma vacated the Open the Triangle Gate Championship, a tournament was held to determine the new champions. Cima, Ishida, and Yamamura participated, but were eliminated in the semifinals by VerserK (Naruki Doi, Shingo Takagi, and YAMATO). On December 27, Eita failed to capture the Open the Brave Gate Championship from Kotoka, and Gamma and Tominaga unsuccessfully challenged Naruki Doi and Yamato for the Open the Twin Gate Championship. On December 28, Cima unsuccessfully challenged Shingo Takagi for the Open the Dream Gate Championship.
On April 7, the group invited Dragon Kid to join the stable. Kid joined, forming a team with Eita, and also challenged Big R Shimizu and T-Hawk for the Open the Twin Gate Championship. On April 10, Cima defeated "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa to win the Open the Owarai Gate Championship, but after the match, Cima did not want the title, and Ichikawa was awarded the championship. On May 5, Kid and Eita failed to capture the Open The Twin Gate Championship, losing to Big R Shimizu and T-Hawk. On May 8 to June 12, Eita, Cima, Gamma, Lindaman, and Tominaga participated in the 2016 King of Gate tournament. Tominaga finished block A with 2 points, Cima with 6 points, and Eita with 7 points. Eita had a playoff match against Akira Tozawa to reach the semifinals, but lost. Lindaman finished block D with 1 point, and Gamma with 1 point. At the end of the King of Gate, CIMA, Gamma, and Peter Kaasa challenged Akira Tozawa, T-Hawk, and Masato Yoshino for the Open the Triangle Gate Championship, with Yoshino accepting. It was announced that Eita would participate in the NJPW's Super J-Cup as a reward. On July 20, Eita was eliminated from the Super J-Cup in the first round by Jushin Thunder Liger.[1] On July 24, Eita defeated Yosuke Santa Maria to win the Open the Brave Gate Championship. Later that night, Peter Kaasa, Kid, and CIMA unsuccessfully challenged Masato Yoshino, Akira Tozawa, and T-Hawk for the Open the Triangle Gate Championship. On August 6, during the Summer Adventure Tag League, Lindaman left the stable due to problems with Eita, potentially due to Lindaman's alignment with Yosuke Santa Maria, and a lack of contact from other members. At the end of the Summer Adventure Tag League, Yamamura and Ishida finished block A with only 2 points, and CIMA, Gamma, and Kid, Eita passed their block with 8 points and CIMA, Gamma with 7 points, advancing to the semifinals. In the semifinals, Kid and Eita defeated the Jimmyz (Jimmy Kagetora and Jimmy Susumu) to advance to the finals, while Cima and Gamma failed to advance, losing to Naruki Doi and "brother" YASSHI. In the finals, Kid and Eita defeated Doi and YASSHI to win the Summer Adventure Tag League. On September 22, Eita successfully defended the Open the Brave Gate Championship against "brother" YASSHI. After the match, Lindaman attacked Eita. The two were involved in a discussion where Punch Tominaga intervened. They agreed that the winner of their match would face Eita for the Open the Brave Gate Championship. On October 12, Eita successfully defended the Open the Brave Gate Championship against El Lindaman. After the match, Eita nominated Flamita as his next challenger for the title. On November 3, Eita successfully defended the Open the Brave Gate Championship against Flamita. Later that night, Kid and Cima defeated Jimmy Kagetora and Jimmy Susumu to win the Open The Twin Gate Championship.
