Shibata is my favorite wrestler ever, but man, I hope he lays off those sick headbutts this year. I love seeing them, but you can hear the CTE setting in.

So what went down between NJPW and NOAH? The interpromotional stuff I saw on New Japan shows this year ruled, and Shibata posing like an rear end in a top hat on the ropes after putting a beating on them was so loving cool.

Is someone ever going to tell Shibata that this isn't a shoot

Also when is Shibata going to take some time off so that he isn't a mummy wrapped in bandages

I think last year or the year before Ishii's head straight up just fell off his body and he not only took no time off but won at least one belt instead.

I know a lot of you have switched to Japanese commentary, but the English commentary has really stepped up their game as the event goes on.

Maybe so, but for me there is nothing greater than an insanely good match with the added bonus of Japanese dudes just screaming in terror as they watch it all unfold.

Shibata: I asked to see Gedo about my transport and he freaked out and gave me a huge raise before I had a chance to say anything!
Goto: Hey Gedo got a minute to tal-
Gedo: Well we'll be sorry to see you go but follow your heart :geno:

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Goto is 100% sick of Shibata's poo poo.

Pretty sure NOAH sold itself without even giving NJPW a heads up beforehand so NJ pulled all of their wrestlers off future NOAH cards and pretty much cut all ties.
