Having an English speaker give a promo in fluent Japanese, then having someone else translate it back into English is heel level 1000.

[@ricksuddarth7200]

Years l hear he got a serious neck injury and hoped the kid would return to follow his dream. And when he did return he came back even better going as far as to work on his mat game to a serious level. Fell off my radar for a bit and saw him in AEW. Captivated me as always and now I can say I'm an Osprey fan. He can wrestle any style and cut promos where you believe he's dangerous. He's come along way and I'm proud of his growth.
