Looks like they found their new Evan Bourne. Can he talk? He's not a great talker and he's also got a really thick accent which can make him a little hard to understand. It's the one big thing I see holding him back.

Well, we finally found a replacement (and improvement!) for Evan Bourne!

He moves great, but I have a feeling about 85% of his moves will be reduced due to the "WWE style" and safety concerns

Awesome on PAC. He's always been on the cusp of breaking through, and his involvement with DGUSA was his coming out party.

It's more of a matter as to how much he'll have to "dumb down" his stuff so everyone else can keep up.

I have never heard of him but "Man that Gravity Forgot" is one hell of a nickname. Same here. I'm interested.

Newz: Vince decrees no one under 6'2" will be signed (DAMNIT!).
WWE responds by signing is a guy who is inches away from 6 foot and one of the best lightweights going. Sometimes I think they do it just out of spite. ;D. Huge signing never the less. Even if they dumb down his set I still think PAC translates. He's just so smooth with everything he does.

Yeah, it is an awesome nickname. It's a shame he probably had to sign it over to them as a condition of being signed.
Or, at worst, this is like that fat dude with the Last Outlaw named trademarked, and they wanted the trademark for like, Rey Mysterio.
Hope not, from what little I saw, this guy seems very exciting.

Great signing, I've been a fan of PAC ever since I saw him in PWG years ago. His Dragon Gate stuff is other worldly. The good thing about him is that he isn't all flash, he's very capable of mat wrestling.

The good thing about him is that he isn't all flash, he's very capable of mat wrestling. Indeed. Just because he IS a spectacular high flyer, doesn't mean he can't do the inverse. He's equally as comfortable on the mat as he is in the air.

I saw his early stuff, and he was a lot like Flip Cassanova, in he was all style and no substance. But from what I understand, he improved greatly as anyone would and is definitely a great signing. I like this idea of signing top indy and international stars, and the man gravity forgot is definitely one of them.

It's a shame there's no mid-card anymore, that would have been a great four way feud. Four guys, trying to prove who's the best high flyer, with PAC and Kidd as heels, and Bourne and Cara as babyfaces.

There's one question that remains though, that would decide whether he can or cannot hang with Sin Cara. ...Can he point?

I can not stress enough how great of a signing this is. Granted PAC is a dumb name, but "The Man That Gravity Forgot" is an amazing nickname and will sound great on WWE TV
