He would have had an easy gig for life but immediately threw it away because literally all he's ever wanted to do was wrestle Hayabusa's family was also real well off (from the hotel industry iirc), and he passed that up to go into wrestling

Yeah, he buys low salt potato chips, then puts salt on them, then he just kind of sits there and smiles at what he has wrought

To this day I'm still a bit unsure if anybody ever smartened up Ibushi or not, or if somebody did whether he understood what they were trying to tell him.

No no, he knows, he figured it out at a young age. That's why he went into wrestling, because he found out Goku was just a drawing.

No no, all the wrestlers are real, it's anime that is just drawings (but also maybe it is real too?)

He's going to wrestle on his 80th birthday and he's going to shoot a laser out of his hands and we all have to accept that.

i'm only about 20 minutes into the Tanahashi and Ibushi interview on NJPW World but it's already got some incredible Ibushi moments  Ibushi has also revealed that he lives on a 25 hour day instead of the normal 24.

dordreff posted:the classic Ibushi story is the time he had a match against Kenny Omega in one of the biggest and most important venues in Japan, the Nippon Budokan. Supposedly, they were taken aside before the show and told specifically not to do any high risk moves like jumping off the balcony, or they would be banned from the venue. Didn't Kenta Kobashi ask him not to do it too?

Upon leaving New Japan in 2016 Ibushi founded his own promotion, the 'Kota Ibushi Pro Wrestling Research Institute'. And while it never ran any shows and I don't think he ever planned it to the fact still fills me with joy.

the arm wrestling bit is incredible, especially the payoff when Yano finds out they're doing it and rushes over to challenge Ibushi Ringo Roadagain posted:Didn't Kenta Kobashi ask him not to do it too? That's one of the rumours but since Kobashi was still working in Noah at the time it's probably not the case. There's also the rumour that Ibushi did it specifically to prove that it was a dumb rule, which probably makes sense in his mind but for anyone else "don't jump off a high balcony onto a hard concrete floor" is a pretty good rule to live by.

gotta be fair here, ibushi living 25 hour days is a real condition not just his usual weirdness and i got hella respect for the people out there that can manage it, even though hes on the less severe end of it. ive got a 27 hour internal clock and it loving blows trying to fit into conventional society

I love when the host says "is he serious?" And Tana says "yes. He's serious." Like he's seen it all before, and worse, and understands his role with Kota is an adult-child guardianship.

Maybe it's because he is so beautiful, maybe it's because he seems so innocent, maybe even it's out of respect for his phenomenal wrestling skills. But I like how very few people seem to hold weirdo, stupid, insane, (i would assume) high maintenance Kota Ibushi any ill will.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if AEW really wants Kota they just need the Bucks to cut a promo talking about how his neck is invincible and nothing bad will ever happen to it.

Somebody just has to mention to Kota that he can fall on his head every week in front of an audience of almost a million people and he'll mysteriously appear outside Trillionaire Tony's office, contract in hand.
