so how has he been in AJPW, how has he been performing and used by AJPW??
i was a pretty big fan of his NJPW stuff, recently enjoyed some of his old battlarts matches, and wanted to see his ZERO1 stuff.

He's had ok match ups in Zero 1 including his matches against Hidaka and a good six man in which he teamed up with Hidaka,and Mochizuki to face Masato Tanaka,Minoru Fujita,Takuya Sugawara. I like this stage of Minoru's career as he playing the arrogant heel who feels that he's above to AJPW and Z1 due to his time in New Japan.

Anyways, no idea how Minoru is in Z1, but he is pretty average in AJPW. He had a long junior title match with Kaz, but it honestly sucked. Was just horribly long and boring. His regular stuff is just ok. No idea how the tag team with Toshizo is, but I've been more impressed with Toshizo than Minoru. Minoru has a habit of turning it on then off again rather quickly. I honestly don't blame him so much as I do AJPW as the style they tend to work rarely delivers.

Since I have left AJPW nothing has changed. I see my old haunt and see youngster doing great things with titles I helped make famous and I look back at my summer here with Toshizo and now that he too shall do some great things. I have yet to wear the gold here in AJPW but we all know that is only a matter of time before that changes.
Something else that has not changed is my opponents holding my tights, putting their feet on the ropes, and bribing referees to defeat me. Susuki had an ether soaked rag and don't even get me started on Funaki. Sakuraba called me up right after the Funaki deal and old me how much he hated Funaki trying to socialize with me aftewards. Saku and myself may go to a smackdown taping and beat up Smackdown's number 1 comedy jobber brother just for the hell of it.
AJPW is helpless against ... Minoru's sexy Ikeman VODOO~!
