Kota IGOATshi speak on Harassment from NJPW, Yakuza involvement and mother’s suicide attempt

[drifter]

It's probably too hot to touch him without potentially exposing that world to the rest of the world rn, I'd imagine the only thing he needs to be concerned about rn is finding steady work outside Japan

After things die down though...

 

[NoMorePie]

So the Yakuza has been mentioned

 

[Jmare007]

Of all the shyt Kota has been exposing in the last couple of days, being sexually harrased is not one of them. Thread title should be changed.

Him talking about Yakuza could be massive though, stay safe Kota

So the Yakuza has been mentioned

Yakuza had always been involved in pro wrestling in Japan but it's a kept secret that every time it gets exposed, bad shyt happens. Pride FC went under as soon as it was exposed they were compromised. Pro Wrestling NOAH became a glorified indy for close to a decade after it was exposed management had a business deal with them.

I’ll change the title but he did mention it


He quotes Ibushi who wrote, "I'll expose all about the former cheaters-gun (already returned) and the sexually harassing bosses, from the company president's lies to his unreasonable power harassments this time. Get prepared for this. ToSpo and TV Asahi too."

Other translators (that are actually japanese) have explained that it was more about New Japan forcing him to comeback to the ring when he wasn't phsysically ready. It seems translating Kota's tweets are a pain in the ass because he doesn't give a lot of context and that makes it hard to translate.




And here is a good summary of all the fukkery.



The "sexual harrasment" could be him talking about the group of people that have been caught cheating on their wifes (a big no-no in Japan) or sleazy shyt that happens in pro wrestling. But it doesn't seem it involves Ibushi personally.

Idea of Gedo putting his greasy fat fingers on IGOATshi’s chiseled chest

 

[MightyHealthy]

He's basically calling out NJPW brass who forced him back, even announcing him returning at the New Japan Cup when he wasn't even halfway healthy.

The hard part to infer is that it seems like, in lieu of a New Japan Cup, he was impressed upon to make an appearance at a Just Tap Out show.

With these a$$holes bullying him into making money, he decided to go public, considering the corrupt people telling him he did something wrong.

I don't think this really burns bridges with AEW as much as it highlights the sleazy elements in NJPW.

They weren't letting him heal, forced him to do an appearance, and advertised him for a tourney when he was still hurt.

I think it greatly reduces the chances of a Golden Lovers reunion in AEW if anything else…

Either way this man may never see another day

This nerd ain’t kicking nobody’s face, let alone Kota.

Love the marks online being like

“Everybody knows the yakuza works with NJPW”

Lmaooo…all this is a major story

Somebody said if Bayley were making these accusations about Vince

Wrestling Observer Live’s Bryan Alvarez heard from multiple well-connected people in Japan that Kota Ibushi has “burned his bridges” not only with NJPW, but also with the entire pro wrestling industry in Japan
