Seriously I had no idea he even wrestled or came back from it. I don’t watch Japan wrestling anymore and haven’t in years but I remember him. He’s a certified badass. Had the most lethal kicks in the business. But if he’s wrestling in America and on free tv I will be following!

Ya he just happened to pop up in my YouTube feed and I thought he’d long retired… I even have not even seen him mentioned in ages and would have forgotten him entirely!

You obviously have not followed in a long time lol

I’ve followed WWE very closely while I lost touch with the whole puro and Indy scenes!

i feel like i only keep up with aew bc i'm not gonna let go of wrestling and bc mjf is awesome.

they really should be doing better.

Jim Ross spoke about Shawn Michaels being a born again Christian. He said wrestling is the one thing you can’t pull out of him. That’s how I am. I’m like HBK. I am the boy toy! I’m just a sexy boy, sexy boyyyyyy. (No homo)

Anyway I srsly like seeing how big names in Japan that I knew before do in the states. Some benefit from traveling the globe like shinske nakamura, Tajiri in the past, and jushin thunder liger . KENTA didn’t work out too well as far as I know I wanted him to succeed in wwe.

I rewatched the match and Shibata has slowed a bit. He was more explosive in his offense when I watched him wrestle. And it’s roh match showcased in AEW. I cannot name a single wrestler currently in roh which wow it still exists huh? The two companies They have a working relationship now I guess.
