The Man That Gravity Forgot

rovert · 2012-07-11 17:58:03

When news came out PAC got signed I searched AGES for a decent music video. Well this surfaced in a news report today. It is from four years ago and PAC has gotten significantly better working a full time schedule for Dragon Gate in but he was still peerlessly spectacular back then: Bit late but here you go.

It's amazing that he's put on a good bit more muscle since that video was made but he still hasn't lost one bit of his athletic ability.He's some talent.

He makes the best first impression of anyone. On par with 90s Rey Mysterio or early 00's AJ Styles.

Best high flyer on the planet for me at the moment. He took it to an insane level after beoming a regular in Japan. Delighted he got his big break, a very decent fella from what I've seen and heard of him out of the ring.

I think he deserves a thread of his own in fairness.

PAC is someone who I changed my mind ona few times.

First time I saw him live, it was with ROH in Liverpool in 2007 and thought he was excellent, if not a bit flippy.

Next time I saw him was a few months later for IWW and was responsible for one of the greatest botches I have ever seen (best live botch anyway). I was well soured toward him.

Then I went to the DG shows in UK in 2010 and behind Yokosuka, he was MVP of the weekend. He was just incredible.

Interesting to see how he goes? Will he end up being another Evan Bourne, or another RVD?

The man that Gravity Forgot he is like a reverse Andy Carroll so. Seeing as though he is a geordie I hope they don't just have him saying Why Oy as a gimmick.

He's a highly talented high flyer, but how much of that will the WWE let him do??

About as much as they let the likes of Sin Cara or Evan Bourne do presumably.

He has a lot more dangerous moves than the likes of sin cara and Evan Bourne. Those reverse huricanrana and multi flips of the top ropes won't be allowed. I think WWE might of even limited the people who can do these kind of moves and what type they Can do

Yep. He was in the final of that tournament and appeared several times on the 2nd series of Whiplash. Nice guy and amazing talent (and I haven't even seen his DG stuff). Never thought he'd get signed but that's more to do with not having faith in WWE's talent spotting than his ability. Can't wait to see him if/when he gets called up. They'll make him such a better all-around wrestler too, so it'll be exciting to see.

He was going for a "suicide dive" to Bingo Ballance and Bam Katrazz. He did the run up and everything but just as he was about to take off, he slipped/tripped, fell into the ropes, got tangled in them, and kind of meekly rolled to the outside.

To make it even worse, Ballance and Bam sold it I think.

It was actually hilarious.

Pretty sure that was the Waterford show. I also remember a pretty decent superplex botch by Kid Kash at the same show, the ropes were so loose that they just fell off them to the outside. Looked awkward as hell. I have the DVD of it actually, must root it out again.

If you want a nice short match to what PAC can do try this one. He tags with Devitt as part of a once off dream team in Dragon Gate. Both lads do dives to the floor that will leave your heart in your mouth:

WWE should injure Sin Cara again and put Pac in the mask instead!

How come we don't have a Devitt thread?

Yup, the very same.

It was actually a good fun show. About my favourite was Doug Williams Vs Bruiser. Bruiser tried in vain to play the baby face. Williams was getting cheered regardless of what he did. At one stage some fella toward the back stood up and shouted "forget it Doug, we love you, you are never getting booed". Bruiser got the roll-up win and was shat all over. Boos rung out. Felt sorry for the guy. Got the biggest win of his career, and we just would not have it.
