WWE has signed English star PAC, who had been working for Dragon Gate in Japan and DGUSA in the U.S. PAC is billed as the “Man that Gravity Forgot” and is said to be a big high flyer.

hell yeah! a great move by the WWE! In addition to DGUSA, PAC has also wrestled for my favorite fed PWG (9 of those 10 moves in that You Tube video posted by J in the post above actually took place in a PWG ring.)

I imagine this is for their cruiserweight project. Between WWE's cruiserweight project and TNA trying to revitalize their X-Division I imagine we will see alot of signings here soon.

Well, to be fair... several of those moves featured the same opponent (El Generico), in what I'm guessing may have also been the same match. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose... now with PAC signed and Johnny Gargano rumored... seems like Daniel Bryan really has opened doors for a lot of the smaller indie guys. Some people have been saying that Davey Richards sees the writing on the wall for ROH and has been looking to get a "real" job as a fireman - I would not be opposed to seeing him in a WWE ring either.

Davey Richards has been talking retirement for quite some time.

It seems from the internet reaction to this I am in the minority in not really getting a kick out of this dudes work. Granted, I do remember thinking the same thing about Matt Sydal/Evan Bourne. Perhaps Pac is just so much more crisp than other fliers he will really get over.
As an aside, wrestlers really need to stop wearing mouthguards.

PAC is billed as the “Man that Gravity Forgot” a funny story I wanted to share about the quote "the man who gravity forgot" earlier this year, Wrestle Reunion 6 concluded with PWG's Kurt Russellreunion III. The main event was PWG World Champion El Generico, PAC, and Masato Yoshino vs PWG World Tag Team Champions Appetite for Destruction (Kevin Steen and Super Dragon) and Akira Tozawa (who in 2011 in PWG teamed with Steen as the Nightmare Violence Connection.) very early in that match (you can't see what actually happens by watching the DVD which I own and have watched multiple times- but I originally saw it live) PAC gets knocked off of the apron by Super Dragon but on the DVD at that point early in that match you can hear Steen (who has had a history with PAC in PWG) say "It looks like gravity just remembered you buddy." ;D

Well, to be fair... several of those moves featured the same opponent (El Generico), in what I'm guessing may have also been the same match. not all of those moves in PWG vs El Generico were in the same match for example, you can see that some of the moves (such as the Standing Corkscrew Shooting Star Press) against El Generico were performed in PWG's Legion Hall while other moves (such as the Dragon Rama) in that same video against El Generico were performed in a PWG match from a different venue

It looks like gravity just remembered you buddy." ;D Thats awesome. Good for PAC, and also good for a lot of other Cruiserweight sized wrestlers, who are going to be able to work for WWE now.
