Tokyo Sports article about Ohbari being pissed about the Karl Anderson double booking


The following is a google translation of the article:

“I’m angry. New Japan Pro Wrestling November 5: Never indiscriminate champion Carl Anderson (42), who had been decided to play V2 against Hikreo (31) at the Osaka tournament on November 5, passed on the responsibility of double booking with WWE to New Japan and missed the Osaka tournament. I announced it in a way.

Anderson’s title match was announced on the 4th. However, Anderson returned to WWE with his partner Luke Gallose. It was decided to participate in the “Crown Jewel” (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) on the same day (6th Japan time) with the New Japan Osaka decisive battle.
Anderson, who became a double-booking by Motoya Izumi, made a statement in the video with Gallows. Gallose said, “It’s a double-booking because New Japan didn’t talk to me. We won’t go to Japan until our timing is right,” he insisted that it was incomplete on the New Japan side. While expressing his gratitude for his years of cooperation with New Japan, Anderson said, “I am the best NEVER indiscriminate champion ever. We are not going to Osaka on November 5. “Machine gun” will tell you again when the defense will be,” he refused to come to Japan again.

There have been troubles by foreign players, including the block Lesnar’s do-cancellation incident in July 2006, but the blatant behavior of being listed as a player in the same day of other organizations is unprecedented. Takami Obari, the president of New Japan, answered only one word “angry” to the interview of this paper, and avoided making clear words about the point. But the most angry person must be a fan who is buying tickets for the Osaka tournament where the championship game was organized.”

  1. I wouldn’t doubt that theres some harsh feelings but njpw probably just said lets go with it anyways and make something out of it.

  2. Wrestling promoters putting belts on guys either leaving or not under contract, and then being stunned when the talent does what’s best for them is a take as old as wrestling. They never learn.

  3. It being in Tokyo sports makes me think it’s a work. It’s too much effort for a bald plonker though. Just strip him of the title

  4. I know that it’s near impossible, but imagine OC and AJ win the match in Saudi and are battered as shit and NJPW logo appears on the screens and a bunch of Japanese guys walk out and wreck hell on the OC or something (sorry I don’t watch NJPW and don’t know the names of their stars)

  5. What would the thoughts be if the title appears on wwe tv? Genuinely interested in peoples thoughts. Sorry not like a Stan for anything I just love wrestling. First memory of my life is the star scene at the beginning of wrestlemania ultimate challenge.
