Only thing that ever mattered to me was if you can work. You be you, I’ll be me, and if you can work we’re good. ?

PAC Challenges Dragon Kid

In a tweet challenge, the former Neville has challenged Dragon Kid to a match at Dragon Gate’s Dead Or Alive event.

So GIVE HIM TO ME, or maybe I won’t come back to Japan… and YOU’LL NEVER SEE YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN.

FAO @dragongate_pro

I have chosen my opponent for DEAD OR ALIVE, May 6th in Nagoya. An easy match, with someone I can abuse…

Dragon Kid.

So GIVE HIM TO ME, or maybe I won’t come back to Japan… and YOU’LL NEVER SEE YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN.
