For those who don't know. I present the man that gravity forgot
Pac:
There is a point to this thread as well. I first met him 4 years ago, he was an unknown guy who just came along for a ride from Newcastle to one of our CSF shows, the promoter found some space for him on the card and we were all amazed, we tried to book him as much as possible from there, but it was hard as everyone wanted him. Within the last 2 years he went stateside and started with Chikara and then PWG He's now tearing it up in Japan and is about to become Darkside Hyabusa at FIESTA DEL HAYABUSA ~ PHOENIX on the 24th of Jan. Quite simply, he's one of the greatest things to come out of the UK and IMO one of the best independant talents in the world right now. He's one of the most down to earth guys I've met considering his quick rise. I don't claim to be his mate or anything, I've only met him a handful fo times, but I want to spread the word about this guy, if he's not signed by WWE or TNA it would be a travesty THE OPTIMISTS!

I think you know exactly what TNA would do with him.

Putting him under a hood is probably smart since afarik he still has zero personality

What's best for him, is to stay wrestling independent and Japan, that's the only place that you as a wrestler are going to get to be you. Maybe he could have a run in ROH, but we'll see.

The springboard cutter was sick and so was the standing corkscrew moonsault. I would love to see him in a match with Evan Boune.

Hmmm another indy spot worker, WWE's already got one. But if that one crumbles, they can always bring in another off the street.

He's an amazing flipper, but can he work a match? If he can, post a video. I'm interested in seeing how he manages to use these crazy ass moves in matches.

High Flyers are gay. This is wrestling, not gymnastics. I appreacate a good high flying move, but not a match that is nothing but.

I won't lie that occasionally that stuff is interesting to watch, in an impressive viral video type of way. Like BDC, I do appreciate a wrester who can occasionally do those thing AND wrestle.
Performing cirque de soleil in a ring with no "wrestling" or psychology doesn't do it for me. Still cool looking, but I agree with BDC |

Does he do loads of spots? Yes.
BUT He does them in the right places in matches and not just for the hell of it. I'll find some full matches |

I didn't come out and say he was a spot monkey or that he sucked. I can't pass judgement because I haven't seen him. I was just giving my opinion on spots like that and wrestlers who do them as their bread and butter.

I've seen a lot of people comparing PAC to Jack Evans, and talking about how the guy is nothing but a spot monkey, but that's not the case. I've always seen him as someone closer to Paul London. Both guys can fly, but they know how to work a proper match, too. They are just good wrestlers who can bust out the high flying move when they want to.
Just because a guy can do a Shooting Star Leg Drop doesn't make him devoid of any sort of mat-based talent. |

Yeah, this guy can do a corkscrew standing shooting star press, can't he? I could see him doing some shit like that in the WWE and not really stepping on Evan Bourne's toes.

He puts so much momentum into his flips and jumps, it's impressive even if you've seen a thousand spot monkeys before.
