when wrestlers get vaccinated do they sell the needle like a submission or a strike

they do that thing when they're in a sleeper hold where they act like they're fading and then they start shaking one arm and raising it up in the air and clench their fist

It's the stuff about rules and power that made me worry about that, and Kota does give off the vibe of the 'book dumb athlete who doesn't believe in vaccines'

this thread seems to explain things a little better in context. Mostly seems to be about them pushing him to return before he was ready and then them being upset that he made a guest appearance on someone else's show

Having read it, it's more specifically appearing on TAKA's show without clearing it with the office first, and then blowing off being rapped on the knuckles for it that seems to be that part of it.

it's kind of weird to see his tweets complaining about stuff like sexual harassment from bosses and see people speculate that why he's actually upset is that he's antivaxx

Joe Lanza is saying it's the other way round and Ibushi was pushing to come back before he was cleared

lanza's report doesn't contradict this at all and he's obviously well-sourced in njpw lol

:darksouls:
there's a few separate things here:

* when ibushi got pneumonia, he did want to wrestle through it, but the office (specifically one guy he has heat with per lanza's report, this kikuchi fellow) vetoed it

* when ibushi had his shoulder issue, the office wanted him to be back for wrestle kingdom, but ibushi, somehow, was smart enough to recognize this as a bad idea, and told them hell no

* however, he did feel ready for the new japan cup, but then this kikuchi fellow apparently heard a doctor make a hm noise and went "nope no youre not cleared!!" and ibushi was pissed about that (his tweet about his shoulder only being at 65% was apparently a work to cover for o-khan challenging him in a promo and not wanting it to seem weird that he wouldn't do it)

lanza's report goes into a lot more details, some of which do get weird (kota has heat with taka/taichi/kikuchi as a crew, but did show up for JTO?), so i imagine more will get ironed out, but so far the injury stuff isn't contradictory afaik

just going back to this because it randomly popped into my head but Ibushi is definitely vaccinated because when he got aspirating pneumonia it was originally diagnosed as vaccine side effects

Kota Ibushi turned down a very lucrative contract several years ago to go do that weird street wrestling thing instead. He's probably set for life and he's in high demand, but he's also kind of a weirdo loner so he's going to do whatever the hell he wants. If a company's rules don't mesh with his personal ones, he knows he can work just about anywhere else and most other places would bend over backwards to have him.

Kenny and Ibushi burying their home promotions at the same time. Maybe they're planning to make the Ibushi Pro Wrestling Research Institute a real thing and not just some warehouse that Ibushi rents out and sometimes invites Shuji Ishikawa too.
