For those who didn't watch the AEW/NJPW show (or more specifically the press conference afterwards), Jon Moxley insists that he wants to be one of Muta's final matches while also pushing for Eddie to get a match with Jun Akiyama. He did this live sitting next to Tony Khan, who pointed out those are NOAH wrestlers (Well, Muta is, Uncle Jun is DDT, baby) and Mox basically said he doesn't give a poo poo and wants the matches anyway :hellyeah:

Kawada was notoriously anti-gaijin, so that would absolutely not be his return match. Also, the fact that he didn't even bother with a retirement show and hasn't wrestled in 12 years says he's just done.

SatoshiMiwa

I think of all the Pillars Kawada took Misawa's death the hardest and probably saw that he could end up the same if he kept going. He still wrestled till 2010 but the fact he just stopped than and didn't have a retirement show or ceremony and didn't even get back in the ring for Taue's retirement show means he's not getting back in the ring ever again.

The rumor I always heard floated around was that Kawada’s body is just destroyed and he can barely walk

Doesn't Kawada still run his ramen restaurant? I saw some photos of him and his physique has gotten back to that of a normal person. I did hear that he's in chronic pain though regardless.

The sad thing with Kobashi is he changed his style up in the 2000's cause he was so banged up...and that new style ended up ruining his body in a completely different way :(

Yeah...

quote:

The author’s description makes clear that, even if he might have been the most “functional” of the Pillars in the ring at the twilight of his career, this is a broken-down man even by the standards of professional wrestling. What struck me most is that Kawada’s neck is so stiffened that he must look up to swallow the soup he is eating, in order to keep it out of his windpipe.

Jun's the only that seems to have gotten out okay and that's mostly cause he was younger and also took injuries way more seriously after Misawa died

It's a week! With wrestling in Japan! NOAH have their last 2 shows before their Budokan return on the 16th. DDT crown a new KO-D Openweight champ at the King of DDT Finals. Stardom do another New Blood show that has Suzu Suzuki vs MIRAI. New Japan tread water at Korakuen while waiting for the G1 to start. ZERO1 do a bunch of Fire Festival shows that probably won't even make tape. Not a particularly big week, all things considered.

Would you be my new best friends?

I'm assuming it'll be Ueno in the final for the KO-D, but given he just recently failed in his own title shot against Endo, I don't know if him winning will really come across all that well. Uncle Jun owns of course, but it would feel a little backward to go back to an old man wrestler as the champion, especially with all the bullshit going on in NOAH.

So I guess... go Higuchi!
