Low Ki , representingPro Wrestling NOAH attained a clean, yet controversial victory over "Fallen Angel"Christopher Daniels , who representedPro Wrestling ZERO1-MAX . The match was the latest in the Gaijin Battle series, an original MXW concept which spotlights American combatants who wrestle for different Japanese wrestling organizations in competition against one another. With Low Ki's victory, the series between the two Japanese promotions is now tied at one fall a piece.Their sixth and most recent live event, GOLDEN QUEST, emanated from Wallingford, CT on Friday, August 25, 2006. The event focused on the Primary Stage of the First Round of the MXW Championship Tournament, in which some of the 32 contenders (every member of the MXW Top Twenty, plus 12 at-large bids) competed with an eye on advancing to the Supreme Sixteen, en route towards attaining the honor of becoming the Inaugural MXW Champion. In the Primary Stage Featured Match main event, Low Ki was scheduled to do battle against fellow TNA X Division combatant
Jay Lethal . As the curfew for the evening approached, the semi-main event was still ongoing between "the Future"Frankie Kazarian ,Sonjay Dutt andAzrieal . Lethal ran into the ring, followed soon after by Low Ki, turning the three-way match into an impromptu 5-way encounter, and capping off a night of action that also featuredBilly Kidman and Japanese women's wrestling idol Kaoru Maeda. The company has yet to resolve how Low Ki and Lethal will be brought back into the tournament picture, aside from promising that a match between the two will happen at the next available opportunity.In September 2006, Joel Gertner was hospitalized, leading to the cancellation of two shows that were scheduled to take place in Albany, NY and Springfield, MA.
