Another thread! Previously I made one about Doi Darts which is pretty wholesome.
This time is also a wholesome part of DRAGONGATE too and it's called Gong Kids!

Not sure when did it start but when I started getting into DG, I thought this is very interesting.
So basically, wrestlers would do a regular talking segment and they will pick a kid or two from the audience to ring the bell for the match. https://twitter.com/AHROOMEE/status/1142607019024609280

Usually only the babyfaces would be on duty for this and it's not assigned to the same wrestler so you might have SaiRyo on duty for one show then the next show you have Yoshino, etc. It really depends on who are in the match that's about to start.
The chosen kid would come up to the ring and get asked the usual questions, which are the kid's name, age, & their favorite wrestler in DG.
Kids are honest with their answers so if their fav wrestler happens to be around the ring, WHAT A COINCIDENCE. https://twitter.com/AHROOMEE/status/1281235242624278529

Some kids don't really answer bcs they're shy or maybe they were kids of actual DG fans who brought their kids and these parent(s) end up answering the question for them.
In average, Dragon Kid is a famous answer in this segment. https://twitter.com/AHROOMEE/status/1217776967417647104

Sometimes, maybe not intentionally done, kids answer with wrestlers who are not employed in DG like this one kid who answered with Kenny Omega...then Akira Tozawa who already was in WWE.
Or maybe the kid being picked has...Nooj merch with him hehehe

A lot of times the kids would be told to voice out their support to their favorite wrestler too. Then after that they would be given a gift and they would proceed to ring the bell.
Funny stuff happens too when the kids don't ring the bell correctly bcs lel they're kids.

While I'm not sure the age limit for Gong Kids, there was one (or probably a few times) where they got teens in this.
There was even a Gong Adult in Prime Zone (yes weird name and sounds like something out of porn lol).

When DG had to do empty arena shows, they would do these segments with fellow wrestlers for the jokes.
First was with Gamma, second was with Naomichi Marufuji. Both of their fav DG wrestler is Punch Tominaga. https://twitter.com/AHROOMEE/status/1246409320209645569
