Outlook - Shingo Takagi is the first product of the Dragon Gate Dojo, scouted by CIMA from Animal Hamaguchi's camp. He received more training and was brought in with a big push. Takagi is a very muscular young man and plays the powerhouse role well, although he is definitely a big fish in a small pond. The Blood Generation stable gives him gifted tag partners and the rest of the Dragon Gate members give him good opposition. Shingo's ability is alright, but he's probably one of the worst in the stacked company. He is improving and knows his place, so expect him to continue until things change or he makes some dramatic improvements.
