Watching Milano's final televised match in DG. He leaves at the worst possible time. DG is coming off of one of their greatest Korakuen shows ever (1/14/05) and is about to enter a golden age of booking...
His final match is an 8-man, 2/3 falls match, which is the kind of stuff I wish DG would do more of now. It's gimmicky, but fits in with the promotion. Milano has a hot sequence with Shingo in this match. It feels like they could've had a huge program that year...
When the book on Dragongate is written (which is probably our job), the idea of Milano staying is the biggest "what-if?" behind the #stronghearts split. He was a superstar.
Milano was a generational talent and I'm so bummed we never got to see his full story arc in DG. - Case

Weirdly enough Mike wrote about how Milano and T-Hawk had similar vibes a few years ago. You can read that here. https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2017/07/19/the-curious-case-of-t-hawk/
