Thought he would've been a lifer

be quite

All I saw was the bushi thing and thought “ha that’s random” then I look above my post and peep naito is gone

this might be one of those tna signings ?

ngl... i feel like a nooj exodus is happening

naito to nxt

Naito a free agent?????

Naito's body is too broken down at this point in his career
Unless, he gets some stem cells

Bushi too???

I feel like they might go to NOAH or AJPW rather than come to the states tbh but that’s just my guess

naito either starts a new promotion and bushi follows along or he just retires

Apparently Naito has been working without a contract since January

Naito's body is so cooked mane, he's not wrestling in Wednesdays.

He will turn 43 in June. With both knees in tatters and suffering from paralysis of the superior oblique muscle in his right eye in recent years, he has been giving his all in the New Japan ring despite being completely injured. "I haven't decided what I'll do if I quit, but when I was younger I thought, 'Maybe I'll retire at around 40,' and it's true that I can't do things now that I was able to do a few years ago because of my physical decline. I really feel that the time I have left is limited, and rather than continuing with some weird dissatisfaction, I feel like it might be better to just do things the way I want to," he said, appearing to be considering all options.

Mans losing his vision and can barely walk and people are fantasy booking him to the United States

did people not watch that match at FD last year or something holy s***

Said that he signed a contract, found Naito wasn't renewing and asked for his release and got it granted

Weird

It's a slow audience

One thing that might really hurt njpw is naito is a real draw for them

oh he was def the biggest draw

those ticket sales are def going down

you gotta emergency push yuya or tsuji at this point (or just give EVIL the belt soon lmao)

My nigga Naito got pinned by Callum Newman dawg … idc how washed he is. That’s crazy

Don't blame him for not renewing after that

Especially when it was for no damn reason

They probably knew he was gone by that point
