Juice Robinson established himself as one of the best promos in pro wrestling when he counted all the bones in his broken hand during a programme with Jay White that saw the 'Switchblade' aim for the current US Champion's biggest weapon.
The former NXT star didn't enter NJPW with a reputation as a killer striker, but his mastery of the work of the work has ensured that prior history doesn't particularly matter. Robinson wrapped his G1 Climax story in the sad tale of his stifled southpaw, until he unleashed it with all the power of Dale Cooper's evil doppelgänger in Twin Peaks. A red flag to the B Block bulls, the taped fist was the body part to target until Juice flipped the script and used it himself to pop faces and pop the boys.
