In reality there is no way he makes it to the end of the G1 without multiple injuries

We gotta hope he changes his style to very little movement, kicks, slaps, grumpy attitude and safe (as possible) bumping

I hope he's basically gonna be doing Shibata/Kobashi cosplay.

Nah, it's been time for a few years now. He's done a lot of good for the company (definitely one of the 3-5 guys you have to credit for NJPW's resurgence), but we've been mocking his calling cards and repetitive booking for a long time now. It's a good opportunity for NJPW to get a fresh face in that role.

That is, if these reports are actually true.

12 years as head booker is more than enough. He spearheaded the company's resurgence and from 07' to 12' he did an outstanding job establishing a young roster and developing the best heavyweight division in Japan at the time (most people will argue, and have a strong argument, they still have it).

Once he struck gold with Okada is what basically over though. He found he golden cow and used the same formula until today, with fukking awesome results. I don't blame him for being so fukking lazy for so fukking long, but I didn't like it either

I hope his replacement comes in with new ideas. It would be awesome to see New Japan having fresh angles and matchups, specially with their new additions to the roster.

There are other reports saying it's a ridiculous rumor and Gedo didn't and isn't stepping down.

 

[Jmare007]

It's probably the opposite of what Dave is reporting

#GedoGang hope he stays booking.
