Matt D :

Incredible comedy worker and foil to Rusher Kimura. Able to change up his act from match to match while still playing the hits. Has a long career in other roles as well but I find him to be one of the best comedy workers of all time when it comes to timing, crowd interaction, avoiding and then getting comeuppance. Has a trademark "spit spot" which had Japanese fans acting like they were at a Gallagher show.

One of the stronger characters in regards to playing the "washed up uncle who comes down to the ring to harass old work colleagues and blackmailing promoters for the Yakuza" role, and he does that fairly well I'd say. The Marufuji match is one of the few I've actually enjoyed that involved the latter in them, for instance, which is high praise. Don't think his career has the high-spots needed for a top 100 though.
