Well, there's no doubting that I'd love to see Mil go one-on-one with the Great One in the tournament final... But, based on that enigmatic remark by Gunslinger and the way things are looking now, I've gotta wonder if Jerry Lynn is positioned to win the Tokyo Cup... That would be something else indeed! |

Like a human highlight reel, J-Lynn knocks off three of the biggest names ever to step inside the squared circle to EARN the Tokyo Cup... You did an excellent job of taking those results (which would have made a lot of promoters pull out their hair, I'm sure) and making me care about how this story was being told, my friend... Absolute brilliance!

Absolute brilliance! It's been a long time since I was as excited rolling dice as I was when Jerry Lynn was putting away three Legends in one night. He's a made guy now as far as I'm concerned. |
