Hello?!? He wasn't up to the job in the first place!! If you ask me, Japan dodged a bullet by getting rid of this guy.
A friend in Japan suspects that Nakagawa's people allowed him go on stage like that, perhaps because they got sick of constantly cleaning up his messes. If you ask me, Japan dodged a bullet in getting rid of this guy.
I HOPE he goes to AA and gets off the sauce.
