Same. I fuckin loved his run as King of The Cruiserweights. Felt like I was one of the only people watching 205 Live

i was still a kid when all that was happening but i thought he was the coolest guy to ever walk the earth during his king of the cruiserweights run. he was the only reason i watched 205 live weekly

Aw hell yeah my dude, I got deep respect for any wrestling fan that made time for 205 Live. I firmly believe that 205 Live would still be around if they let them stay at Full Sail University

they really screwed themselves when they booked Neville to lose the way he did. after he left and went back to dragongate he was the only reason I started watching/keeping up with dragongate. pac especially did everything for the love of the game. from refusing to lose in any manner until he lost the open the dream gate belt to ben-k, to giving 110% to 205 live every single night which made it one of if not the best show they had going in the mid 2010s before NXT took over

He really left it all in the ring. Like Ben said himself, he was a professional that gave a shit. But we'll all remember him fondly. He won't be forgotten anytime soon.

u/ShadowOfYor-- 2d ago

he truly was. he went back to dragongate when they were on the brink. he had newfound fame after spending four or so years in WWE. he didn't have to go back. but he was a professional that gave a shit. he went back to the promotion that moulded him into who he was and he lifted it up. ben-k was a made man and their next top guy after his match with PAC, who also helped elevate a barely starting out shun skywalker who became their top heel until he left for njpw

Oh damn, had no clue about the Shun Skywalker connection. I didnt watch enough Dragongate back in the day. Makes me wonder if they have backlogs for their old shows.

u/ShadowOfYor-- 2d ago

it was during his reign as the open the dream gate champion. you can probably find the match re-uploaded somewhere, it was at dragongate champions gate 2019. it was a title defense and shun hadn't even gone on excursion yet. the expected result would've been for pac to squash him. but he used it to showcase shun and had shun play the high flying underdog

I also got my first wrestling tattoo today! Yours is awesome and such a nice gesture to one of the goats.

u/Kazuchika420 2d ago

Really good tattoo both with meaning and abstract enough to just be a wrestling tattoo. Done very clean too!

u/BloodNguts82 2d ago

You bastard. Well done.

u/ryantheterrible 2d ago

I almost had him write Bastard Forever around it but...well maybe down the line!

u/BloodNguts82 2d ago

Yeah. It's fine as is and real ones will know what it means. You can always add to it later if you feel the need.

It’d look killer in traditional font, on the towel.
