pokoko said: Shibata is taking a lot of bookings in other countries, now. He probably would have told NJPW to screw themselves. Scandals don't seem to amount to much when even Yoshiko can come back after being fired from Stardom. |
Yeah, I think he's said he wants to stay in Japan and just wrestle a little outside here and there, though. But now that you mention it, I wouldn't be averse to him leaving NJPW if it meant working BJW. I would kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill to see Shibata vs. Hideki Suzuki.
I don't really follow joshi too closely since AJW went under way back when, but I was pretty shocked to see Yoshiko's name floating around not too long ago. That incident seemed like something that could (and maybe should) have been a career ender. She isn't back in Stardom, though, is she? Seems like it was another fed.
Edit: It was Seadlinnnnnnng or whatever the fuck it's called. I guess so many feds have open and closed that they've officially run out of names.
