KAGE! KAGE! KAGE! KAGE!
An OCW legend for sure. I remember just watching you and VS try to win the tag titles. I remember you going for the NA title for the first time. I remember your epic battles with Sideshow, RD, Nate, Guy, etc. I remember you forming the Untouchables with Geomon and masking as 2 presidents. I remember you being fake Nate. I remember the Rev Inc. vs. ToP faction frenzy. I remember you finally turning on Rev Inc. to achieve higher status.
Year after year this man is bar-none the GREATEST heel in OCW history. The benchmark of what OCW is all about.
For the match it was great. A straight up match sure would be ok...but it wouldn't set it apart from the other 2. This was a career vs. career match dammit. When Smythe ran in you would think "Smythes gonna help Kage win!". Then when Fausto ran in you would think he would make Nate win. Then you have VS who you thought would be the final decision factor and end Kage's career, but instead wrecks shit up, and leaves. Kage not tapping out was so symbolic beyond belief. Even though Kage, a heel, his career in OCW is worth more then his own well being.
Bravo Kage.......bravo!
