Toryumon is Ultimo Dragon's promotion and it is pronounced tor-ryu-mon.

T2P is kind of a spinoff promotion and they are involved in an interpromotional war at the moment.

There are 3 stables; The Toryumon Army(face), M2K(heel) and Crazy Max can be either.

It is good entertainment but there is a lack of psychology and a lot of matches can be simply spotfests, which is ok but it can be frustrating.

Dragon Kid is a highflyer who just rolls off spot after spot which he is accomplished in, but I don't think he's that great of a wrestler.

It is good entertainment though, and has a few good wrestlers.

I'll probarly get a video or two, any recommendations?

Toryumon comes to Japan is a good intro to the wrestlers, but it is a couple of years old. Also, I enjoyed Crazy Max vs. M2K, lot of interviews though. I haven't seen any of their stuff more recent than the end of last year, so I haven't seen the spin-offs yet.

I would recommend picking up T2P's Japanese debut show if you're into classic elaborate Lucha matwork. I think it's great stuff.

Technically, it's written as "Touryuumon" in Japanese.
The first ideogram means Battle and the last two mean pavillion.
Well, actually I'm not sure about the meaning of 'ryuumon' in Japanese but as to how the two ideograms where 'ryuu' means "Dragon" and "mon" means gate and if combined and read in Chinese, then the given meaning is "pavillion".

And to pronounce Toryumon, it's like "toe-ree (Rhymes with "ew" like you're saying something is gross or something
) -mon (Think of how in the Carribean, instead of ,man that it's mon)" .
Hope this helps....
