Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

He got offered a deal, though, regardless. On 205 Live, he would have been in a tag team with Jack Gallgher. As it stands, he's headlining shows in Japan and the UK

Also - the way they're presenting Kota, he should be closing PPV's as IGWP champ at some point in the future if they don't Gedo it up.. I don't think Vince is giving Ali the equivalent of that look.

My comment was more about them not being pigeon holed as smaller guys who get their match left off the DVD release.

My point is, Ali is not better than Ibushi and is smaller. Ibushi would've gotten a big push eventually IF he didn't go full fukkery, which is a big if with him

He was a free agent. Pretty much always refuses any exclusive contract they throw at him.

But he had a 2 year contract before this one expired though

Meltzer said last year he wasn't under contract, iirc

I think Dave mentioned Kota had signed a while back (not that I'm one to defend Dave ) But he's signed on for more dates on this tour, maybe to replace Tana. The way he's talking about this being his home and never leaving etc, I'm forced to think that there is a lover's rift between Omega and Ibushi I kinda always liked how he was free from contracts but eh, he's getting older

They should absolutely go all the way with him soon (NOW) though

So he wasn't under contract but only wrestled for New Japan and their partners?

I honestly don't trust Dave with puro news unless it's about the Young Bucks and Kenny and even then you gotta take into account he just says whatever they tell him without confirming shyt

Ibushi said he gonna surpass Naka and Tana could he finally get serious about this shyt at the tender age of 36 or will he drop the ic title to a panda on the 36th floor of marcy projects

He gotta be the favorite to win the G-1 at this point.

He gotta be the favorite to win the G-1 at this point.

Just like Naito is the favorite to win the IWGP Championship

Why not both

The reaction Memphis Bleek is going to get as the surprise guest referee

"We gon give Ibushi his trees while he can smoke them and his fireworks while he can explode them..."

Ibushi doing an apartment complex match in the PJs though the possibilities are endless. Kota Ibushi walking around Soundview in his trunks, not being able to speak a lick of English while people watch him like is money.

Walking in on a dice game in Apt. 4B, and then a match starts because his opponent is ass betting

The plug sees one of his matches and sends him on a delivery run as the muscle. Ibushi has to take on a room full of cats with heaters with just his feet, fists and a Roman candle.

don't you jinx it

I'm normally right on New Japan booking, don't worry breh
