PAC's extended unbeaten record after storming out of WWE in 2017 may no longer be in tact, but he's become the expert of protecting himself and his offerings since taking control of his career in the shadow of a collapsing Cruiserweight Division.
Along with not looking at the lights for an extended period, he also insisted upon the heel variant of his old finisher always offering that very consequence to its victims. The Black Arrow offers little more than its older Red brother, other than a bout of bastardry from the chiseled sh*thouse delivering it.
In fact, maybe that is the secret - the 'Man That Gravity Forgot' has sharper abs than ever before. Perhaps the feeling of him falling on top of you after multiple rotations mirrors the sensation of a thumbtack covered skateboard being ollied onto your back? Instead of death by a thousand cuts, it simply inflicts a potentially career-killing count of three.
Brilliantly, his AEW false start was rectified in his All Out showcase against Kenny Omega. He has plenty of damage left to do.
