Outlook - An interesting product of JAPW, Jay Lethal looks like one of those generic skinny indy guys. His idolization of Chris Benoit and training by puro-influenced Homicide has made Lethal one of the most underrated workers in the saturated Northeast. He works a nice cross of puro junior and American highspot artist that should set him apart from his peers. While JAPW has a lot of confidence in him, ROH stuck him with Special K. Though his ability has allowed him to move up fast in the constantly growing stable, Hydro is far from a strong spot in ROH. Hopefully he continues to progress and get opportunities and get his chance to shine brightly.
