Shibata had another surgery May 2. Shibata before:

It is a miracle to live now. I had my skull removed in my last surgery. I have another surgery at 2017.5.2, and I will return. Everyday, using pain stopper 3 to 4 times, I endure the pain. I can hardly see the right eye right now. Currently, the hearing ability of the right ear is not normal and the sound is broken and heard.

Yeah probably meant to say he had his skull opened up once more.

I mean, good he's got a reason to fight back and get to normal once more, but dude needs to never wrestle again.

It's not that kind of test.

It's not uncommon to temporarily remove a chunk of skull to relieve brain swelling. In some people they actually implant it elsewhere in the body to make sure it stays fresh until they put it back in.

Given the rest of his reported symptoms he's lucky to be speaking at this point. But yeah, no more wrestling for that guy please.

:sludgepal:
he knows..
they're not going to push a non-dojo Japanese guy to the top so that limits their options as far as star making. I guess you could argue they did it with Ibushi but they never let him win a single major match as a heavyweight, not even against fuckin Makabe for the NEVER. anyway that leaves... EVIL and YOSHI-HASHI I guess?

I had typed out a bunch of stuff hedging on sanada for that reason but i arrived at the same conclusion that we're left with yoshi-hashi and EVIL as the next guys up and theyre not gonna push yoshi to the top and EVIL's gimmick is too dumb so i deleted it all and put my faith in cold skull

I dunno Sanada seems like he should be next up but the stuff he's doing right now with Milano AT and Taguchi just doesn't interest me. Give Evil the big push, it's no sillier than Muta was

Wrestle Kingdom 16, EVIL comes to the ring dressed entirely in lasers. The lasers also have lasers inside them. It's just lasers everywhere. He loses to Yoshi-Hashi in 13 minutes.

He's fairly old compared to the rest of the young lions. He's 31 so that might make his push faster too.

One, EVIL needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever EVIL's not on screen, all the other wrestlers should be asking "Where's EVIL"?

If you don't like the name Evil for a wrestler. You can gently caress off. It's the most brilliant name of all time. It's peak wrestling.

Echoing calls that Sanada is the one. He reminds me of early Okada - hints of an exceptional worker, but a little robotic and hasn't figured out charisma and the little nuances yet. Give him more time near the top and like Okada I bet he will.

E: Come to think of it, THAT is a good match for Long Beach with Omega because he can job no problem and both guys can have an awesome showcase.

I believe in SANADA and I also believe in EVIL, I hope those two dudes become top guys in NJPW. It's so great that Naito has two excellent dudes like that as his buddies.

I have no objection to Bushi also being in the company :geno:

I need your assistance to make the world blue and change it into a happy and peaceful society.
I briefly met Sanada when I worked a TNA event a few years ago. He is a very attractive human being in person. Based upon these facts, he should be pushed.

Thanks for your time.

I love BUSHI because there's something so unlikable about him without it being that he's terrible like Taichi. He's like the weird annoying kid at school who is inexplicably friends with the cool kids and uses that status to be extra lovely. His theme music is great too.

It's made even better by his finisher also being named Evil. Because, ya know, everything is evil.

I'd be ok with a Yujiro push if they brought back his old music. I spent months enjoying Yujiro after getting back into pro-graps and it was entirely cuz of his old theme.

I don't think I could bring myself to ask for the other four signatures but not his with him sitting there. I'm not saying I'd want his signature, just that I would feel cruel not asking for it.

If you are going to get all the B rate Ingobernable autographs you shouldn't stop short.
