Yuto-Ice interviewed; selects 3 wrestlers of NJPW that had that essential “fighting spirit” to him.

1st person that Yuto selected and talked about was Hiromu Takahashi:

“Since last year, when we formed a joint fighting relationship, he has spent a lot of time in my personal life. An existence like an older brother in this industry. He's a hot person and doesn't lie. I can trust him because he tells me what's wrong.”

2nd person Yuto selected was the legendary Shinya Hashimoto:

" When he was one of the Fighting Spirit Three Musketeers, I really liked him. He conveys the most emotion. He wanted to hit everyone, kick everyone, and fight only with his feelings. He's a wrestler who made you high just by fighting," he said, "I've been told by many people, 'You look like Hashimoto." When I was a trainee, I was also told that by Liger. What if you live in the same era (Gifu Prefecture)? I think it's either really bad or fucking good.

Third wrestler that Yuto selected was Takashi Iizuka:

“The retirement match in February 2019, which was quick and could not even have a ceremony, but he’s a legend. I've never seen such a fucking dope retirement match, and only professional wrestling can work with such an unrealistic guy. He don't say anything, but his body is amazing, and he also bites... If you say it well, the crazy guy who only thinks about attacking people... The moment the old memories seemed to come back in the retirement match, it became a fucking professional wrestling high. Special beings can only be money," he said.

Prepared My Uchiwas for BOSJ 33 — Can’t Wait for Korakuen Hall!

Getting ready for my very first trip to Japan flying next week and just finished making my uchiwas for BOSJ 33 Day 11 & 12 at Korakuen Hall June 2nd and 3rd! It’ll also be my very first live wrestling event ever, so I’m beyond excited.

Can’t wait to experience the atmosphere and finally see NJPW live in person!

Will Ospreay on X: Robbie X is legitimately has been the best jr heavyweight for the last 4 years. Seeing him get his flowers and rocking korakuen hall is a different level of special to see!!

Robbie X totally rules

I admit to not really knowing who tf Robbie X was before BOSJ last year but ever since his first match in that tournament I've been head over heels for him and he keeps proving me more and more right in being so high on him with every match.

The way the Japanese crowds have been reacting to him, I hope the office is listening and I hope they're realizing what a valuable asset they've potentially got to work with, especially seeing as hes only 31 years old.

If President Ace and Gedo had the stones they'd be penciling in a future Robbie X junior title win by AT LEAST next year if not by late this year because the guy has absolutely got it.

Met Suzuki san today

Got no idea if it's allowed or seen as a low effort post but I met Suzuki san he sometimes isn't at piledriver Harajuku but I was in the area buying clothes so figured I'll go see if he's there. He was checking a customer out so I let him then because it was just me we talked for a bit I told him Suzuki gun was one of my favourite factions that I enjoyed his match with Okada in 2017 and that was my first exposure to him as well as talking pancrase and conversing using my limited Japanese skills he's a lovely guy everybody loves murder grandpa.
