**************
What is the Hercules Cutter?
Didn't Yosh get into the G1 in Murakami's place?

[edgehead1984]

Not officially so far as I know...

[Luds]

That would be good, Yoshie's popularity is growing.

[edgehead1984]

Actually he is in the G1, he's taken Yasuda's place...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

And Heat got kidnapped by the CTU. And they STILL never revealed who their big name was.

[edgehead1984]

The Hercules Cutter is a double team manouver with Nakanishi putting a guy into the Rack and Ultimo brings the guy down somehow...

[Luds]

CTU's next member might be Fujinami returning as a Junior.

[edgehead1984]

That would be cool.

[naterob2003]

I believe they are going to play a kind of brain washing gimmick for this where heat does what liger and fujinami say. I would imagine that tiger mask now will try and get a faction of young up and comers to help him out and try to get heat to "snap out of it"... just my thoughts.

[Haiku Warrior]

A great opportunity for Wataru Inoue to shine... I've always like this hungry young lion.

Editnaterob you need an avatar... you seem like The Patriot to me... anybody has a suggestion for our man here?

[Luds]

I always liked Inoue better than Shibata as a young lion.

Shibata took off and returned as a heavyweight, and is looking awesome right now. Inoue hasn't grown much since his injury. But it sure is his chance to shine.

[edgehead1984]

It's time for him to shine...but it won't be him who defeats Heat...

[Haiku Warrior]

Its been too long since Liger has had the title...

[naterob2003]

trying to get an avatar right now haiku... trying to make a decision. I don't know whether to thank you for the reference about the patriot or to hate you... just kidding.

sorry but i can't figure it out. I searched the faq for avatar and it gave me a list of the avatars but didnt say how to use them.

Heat would be perfect in CTU. Heat & Liger would be a good Jr. Tag Team...
