[Chris]

Really a shame his WWE run was tarnished by injuries bc when he wasn't hurt he was on fire and they really looked to be behind him twice that injuries cut short.

Regardless, his 2018 205 Live run before he got released is absolutely amazing.

 

[GARBAGE]

Will never be huuuuge on him but his matches with SUWA and Takayama are underrated for being some of the best matches of the 2000s. In the former especially, it sort of felt like he was wrestling a big match Rey Mysterio main event.

KENTA performs a falcon arrow from the apron to the floor to Davey Richards. Richards described this spot as "if his skeleton moved"
