Tomohiro Ishii is, quite honestly, my favorite wrestler on the planet.

From a purely wrestling perspective, he may not be the same technical marvel or high spot flying death defying magician that other workers are, but there's no wrestler who has created more enjoyment in a match than Ishii. Tomohiro Ishii is an awe-inspiring professional wrestler. No, he wont wow you with amazing aerial moves, mind melting athleticism or classy technical displays. But he will brawl with you. He will invite and take each and every shot you have, and dish out blows just as hard. Might even pick up guys twice his size for a slam or suplex. Or counter a bomb with uncanny craftiness, using hurricanranas or stunners with a grace you would never think he could pull off. If you drop him in his head, he may rise up immediately. If you pin him, he may kick out at one, just to prove a point. His fighting spirit makes him do things no one could ever believe he would be able to, in a staggeringly consistent manner.

Stone Pitbull is one of the most perfect monikers in all of wrestling, because it encapsulates most of Ishiis personality in just two words. Imagine a Pitbull, okay? Not a lot of expressions, usually. Yet, when its angry, it will come at you ferociously and persistently. Now, and picture this really hard: it is made out of actual stone. Oh fuck, how do you get rid of this thing? Do I have to break it? Can I even break it? But heres the thing: even with the intimidating figure, it is still a dog, so its inherently likable. Sometimes you cant help but be in awe. And thats how Ishii is.

And, as a final tidbit, there's no better shoot comment than Ishii believing that when he came to ROH, they handed him the top belt in the promotion when it was just the TV Title.
