Taichi owns actually. He's a great heel.

Just watch his stupid long-rear end entrance: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3jxf23

It's not that kind of test.

I completely forgot Taichi existed, he's been over in NOAH, right?

I did not miss Taichi and was hoping for a quick roll-up win from the other guy to compensate for his painfully long entrance.

Add me to the pro-Tomato list as well.

An extremely boring Jr heavyweight whose whole gimmick is that he only cheats, but not in a funny way like YTR, but in a long drawn out boring way. I don't think the dude does dives or anything like that either. The only time I liked his dirty wrestling style was when he was on crutches and had a knee brace that he used as a high knee for a finisher.

Would you be my new best friends?

Was it Taichi himself or one of his opponents once who pretended to be a guy in the crowd reading a newspaper so he could then jump his opponent from behind during their entrance?

I have never really followed Dragon Gate, so could someone tell me why Eita's catchphrase is "No Molestar"?? Judging from what I have read about other weird DG names I expect it to be an entertaining explanation.

i don't know the explanation (beyond the fact that his old Millenials stable was highly themed around their joint Mexican excursion background) but keep in mind that it actually means "Don't bother Eita" and not "Don't Molest Eita".

Haha, yeah I didn't think he was asking folks not to molest him but I was thinking of it like "DO NOT DISTURB" which still struck me as an oddball catchphrase in its own right.
I didn't expect him to lose to Liger, pretty disappointed it's only NOAH and NJPW guys now.

Eita's using it more in a fashion of "don't mess with Eita." Him and Maria are the only ones of the Millenials that has stuck with any of the Mexican trappings. Since Eita won the Brave Gate last week, I dunno if DG is going to let him be on the Night Two card since there is a TV taping that day in Sapporo.

yeah. i just woke up so I'm not gonna get too deep into bracketology but switch liger and taichi's matches and let eita go over would've been one easy way. no reason eita couldn't' have beaten taichi.

Old news by now but the full card's out and that's the next big NJPW show only a week away. The actual tournament bracket itself is underwhelming but I like a lot of the special guest talent booked for the show.
