I've only seen him sparingly, one or two matches, but have heard a lot about him. So what's the deal?

He's an Italian supermodel who loves to walk his invisible dog to ringside, and then proceed to put on amazing matches in the ring. Dude is a brilliant lucharesu(combo of lucha libre and puroesu, thank you Alex Shelley) wrestler who can have a good match with just about anyone.

I'm pretty sure Funaki convinced him to come to the US, where he trained with Texas Wrestling Academy to learn American style/psychology. He's got a huge move set and a good understanding of putting a match together. Goofy gimmick, but whatever.

  What's there not to understand? Plus, he's a former ICW/ICWA Texarkana Television Title holder. So he's tasted the sweet cherry on top of the mountain. He also won New Japan's Best of the Super Juniors in 2007. Kind of a big deal. He's also Italian and fancies himself if the fashionable stores of Milan. |

He's a japanese man who's gimmick is that of an italian supermodel. He comes out with hot babes, invisible dogs, and bitching clothes. He's currently in NJPW teaming with Chono as his prodigy, which will hopefully lead to a match of Chono & Milano vs TenKoji. He's also very submission heavy in his wrestling with a lot of strikes and spinny moves, he's alright
'He IS alright!'

Actually, Milano is part of the RISE faction with Minoru (his tag-team partner, as the Italy Brothers), Prince Devitt and the 2 big stars in New Japan at the moment (besides Tanahashi): Hirooki Goto and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Chono brought him in to New Japan last year as a part of BLACK, but he was more time in Liger's CTU then in BLACK. Also, I can see him with the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight title before the end of the year.

Consider this: in his brief run with ROH, he had a fantastic match with Jimmy Rave. If one can manage that Herculean feat, they're worth noticing

If you get the chance, watch his BOSJ match with Wataru Inoue. It's fan-f'n-tastic man, it's easily in my top ten matches from Japan in 07.
