But I also would have to add that Uno and Kid were definitely the faces of HERO and kind of make this have a more HERO feel. All we need is a random Lithuanian and Hideo Tokoro. Shibata vs. Minowa would be too much energy for 1 place to handle but I'd love to see it. I also think that the Matchmaking in DREAM has improved. Sasahara is definitely doing a better job in his 1 year than Maeda did his whole career. Great Post and Keep the Peace.. Yeah, I agree with your assessment.

Ishida looked very poor against Uno, as did Nagata against Aoki, J.Z. is hurt, and you don't want Luiz Buscape getting a chance at being your champion. Gil put on a very competitive fight against Kawajiri, and he also represents the (mostly) unrepresented HERO's brand. Plus, Gil likes to fight, and you put that style with Hansen...awwww snap. I'd dig seeing Shibata and Minowa fight each other. Both coming from a pro-wrasslin' background, that'd hype up the home crowd mega. Then maybe put Kiyoshi Tamura with Akiyama? Either way, I hope Minowa and Shibata aren't split up for Kang and Akiyama. Mark Hunt vs. Jerome LeBanner is a decent fight, but I'd much rather see Hunt versus any other K-1 heavyweight in an MMA match. Also, let's not forget that Kharitonov has to be showing up in DREAM eventually. Hopefully that'll be sooner, rather than later. Any way you slice it, DREAM.5 should be a baller ass show.
