10 Wrestlers We're Most Thankful For In 2018

9. PAC

Pac, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan
Dragon Gate Network

Lost in the wilderness for most of the year, the former Neville has been doing big things since returning to Dragon Gate in October, and now looks set to make 2019 his own.

Re-emerging for his old home promotion inside Korakuen Hall (one of Japan's most storied wrestling venues), PAC joined the company's top heel stable, R.E.D., and wrestled a barnstorming multi-man tag on his first night back. He has already worked himself back to a level of prominence, particularly after blowing the ring rust away in a big pay-per-view clash with Flamita. Now, PAC has his sights set on Masato Yoshino's Open the Dream Gate Championship, and with the duo set to contest DG's top prize on 4 December, the former 'King Of The Cruiserweights' will be out to end his comeback year on a high.

After sitting out for the best part of 12 months, it's just great having PAC back. Hook yourselves up with a Dragon Gate Network subscription if you want to see him in his element, though he's already got a boatload of UK dates lined up over the coming months as well, including one for a certain promotion in his Newcastle hometown...
