Unless DDT themselves have it up with just Japanese titles and thus hard to search for, it won't be on YouTube since the music playing got me an immediate copyright strike.

Also don't know which show this is from other than that it happened at least 8 years ago.

Edit: Finally found the show:

Minoru Suzuki Produce Suzuki Minoru 20x2 Birthday Party from 2008

No clue where the hell you could even find that show legally.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Mox's promos are probably more inspired by Piper than by Austin, in fairness. And they have some similarity in their personal history.

So we're mistaking consistent in-ring mediocrity (to be generous) and being a compliant media asset for greatness now? I have...so many problems with this.

I just recently subbed to him and binged almost his whole channel in the background at work. He seemed cool from them. I always worry about every loving channel I sub to being a secret CHUD now.

Perhaps it would be healthier to just assume people are non-chudly until they prove otherwise?

In almost every other aspect of my life this is what I do. But I've been burned with YouTube creators 3 different times. I'd rather take ten minutes to look them up, see who they follow on social media, etc. before giving them any ad revenue.
