I didn’t prepare myself for how funny it’d be now with Shun’s schtick being covered by aggregators

Took some time off and made a match pack out of PAC's record-breaking reign as the 20th Open The Brave Gate champion (2010-2011). Only 1 match is missing (V1 against K-ness) since AFAIK there's no full footage of it available. A true legend. archive.org/details/dg-2... #DRAGONGATE 🤼

Screenshot of PAC celebrating with WORLD-1 after defeating Susumu Yokosuka and being crowned new Open The Brave Champion at the final of the Open The Brave Gate title tournament that took place in Hakata Starlanes in Fukuoka, Japan (venue doesn't exist anymore).

utterly hate to do look at me posts but was really proud of this solo show I did a few months back looking at the B Sides of his career. If anything comes of this, I hope more people discover that his greatness was absolute and started a lot earlier than people used to acknowledge

THIS WEEK - I'm solo and with his Brave Gate record being tied this month, I want to celebrate the Dragongate career of not "The Bastard" PAC, but "The Man Who Gravity Forgot" with a mini-mix tape!

I thought I'd try and pull together all the official videos from YouTube and the Network featuring PAC. awesomedg.guide/projects/pac. My thoughts are with his family and friends right now.

These two were a pair. One of my favourite wrestling photos ever. PAC mid-shooting star to the floor.

a better photo of it. the side caption says "Rather than being number two in the industry, Dragongate is one of a kind." From Champ Gate weekend in 2019 before the Shun defense. it hangs right next to my desk in my office next to the Tozawa farewell cover.

was managing this morning until I saw the photo of pac with junior in the mochizuki house. Junior had to be at most twelve. Stopped me in my tracks. Ascribe as little or as much meaning to this but this one cuts so deep because he was “ours.”

This is one of my favourite Dragongate moments of all time. Shingo Takagi, about to leave the promotion, teams with his forever frienemy BxB Hulk. RED’s Eita has a mysterious X as his partner. Lights out. It’s PAC, who hadn’t wrestled for a year post-WWE and decided to come home.

I can’t get a good photo of it tonight but he had my absolute favorite of the DG Weekly Pro covers.

pac stood up for dragongate at a time where 99.9999% of the industry would have folded for the better opportunity. He was the best of this industry.

Well I was right about how short this brave gate run was going to be and how every piece of dg content needs to include the person declaring Ryo Saito needs fired from now on. What a fascinatingly bad company right now

Even with Shun there now to fill Shingo’s usual spotlight, it is always smart to keep a exDGer in a highlighted match when you visit kinen hall.

it's been another few days so it's been yet another kotoka thing, and i've reached a point of wondering what his goal is. he phrases everything very very carefully and politely. some of it has been fascinating (will talk about it on voice gate) but some is like "why now?"

as *sigh* the gleater of record, t-hawk vs vent vert jack from this week's monstar show was sickingly good and yet again t-hawk has finally gotten the assignment well over a decade after it was required of him.

item 6 on my "win powerball, buy dragongate" theoretical plan is to mandate at least a rookie with iphone at homecoming shows. Doi's homecoming is going to get lost in the All In deluge but god what a fun little number with a molten Nara crowd there for their hero.

It's very funny to me that there's a portion of people tweeting like a political opponent of theirs died. “Well you know we didn't see eye to eye on every issue but you had to respect his passion for wrestling.”
