Well up for seeing Pac in the super juniors, will hopefully be the making of him big time.

The KENTA/Fuji GHC title Match is one of my favorite matches of all time. Maybe it's because i love them both, but.. I haven't seen any better junior singles match past 2000 match than this, I think. The first 15 minutes are perfect. the botched moonsault of the toprope looks sick, but it fits perfectly into this and puts it one level higher. At the end they go and do it all but like Seabs said they never made it over the top. Have seen this over and over again and it makes fun everytime i've watched this. ****3/4 for me.

I know he's been doing it for a while now, but I never got round to asking. But what exactly is Shinsuke Nakamura's gimmick at the moment; he comes across as Drunken Master.

Not sure if he has a gimmick other than being a rockstar, rebel, cocky dick lol. It seems like they've stopped his mega push he was on at the end of last year which is really sad because he's awesome, especially with his new persona. I wanted him to dethrone Tanahashi.

Super rookie -> sekigun shoot cred worker -> Chono's BLACK prodigy -> sekigun ace -> sekigun failure, actively shitty wrestler at the top... All hope lost when -> In 2009 he and Yano boot Makabe and Honma out of GBH, forming CHAOS and he's a bland heel. He gets the Boma Ye and knee based offense going and gets "cool". He gets the belt and turns into a top notch worker toward the end of his reign, with confidence and worldclass work. Latter half of 2010 and into 2011 we see round one of Swagsuke. He was just a bad ass wobbly charisma bucket and pretty much the best drunk seller ever but come NJ Cup it gets a bit over the top. Easily my favourite of his 43 personas that was. The random smiles and antics were just magnificent. Goes to Mexico, refuckulates his self into a stoic version of this sort of rockstar gimmick. Wins the cup but loses again and starts to bend and stretch again into his cocky, amazing current self. Since the CHAOS formation his move set and character have constantly evolved. No gimmick, just greatness.

Isn't Shinsuke Nakamura's gimmick something with bringing Strong Style back or something along those lines?

But anyways, in Super junior news (since I don't remember hearing about them here)

Brian Kendrick has replaced Davey Richards in the tournament, and Hiromu Takahashi has replaced Black Tiger 7(NOSAWA Rongai) in the tournament.
