It's loving insane how good this man is. I'm mad that he's not main eventing every tour all year long. There's literally no excuse except that he's short and doesn't look like he can be in a boy band. Put the loving belt on him Gedo. NTH

This makes it official. Every single one of Ishii's single matches in the B-Block this year were rated a MOTYC by this subforum. That's.... insane.
