It’s a shame how things ended with Kota Ibushi in NJPW. I miss the pairing of ZSJ/Ibushi: they had incredible chemistry and some terrific G1 bouts over the years (27, 28, 29, 31).

1. Definitely one of the best pairings in New Japan for a while. I’d love to see him going against some of the new guys too.

   He did say somewhere that he has been communicating with New Japan and it seems like bridges aren’t burned, him doing a big one off match, maybe putting over a new star would be really cool.

2. Imagine him against the new guys like Gabe Kidd and the 3 musketeers

3. My favourite zack trying to strike then grts destroyed spots are against ibushi.

4. The Golden Ace and Dangerous Tekkers stuff 🙏🙏

5. Who doesn’t have a great pairing with Zack honestly? He is like Ishii in the sense that he can have a 4 star with fucking anyone.

6. What’s Ibushi doing now anyways?

7. Can someone explain the Ibushi thing to me? I haven’t kept up and I’m new to all this. I know things were bad between NJPW & Kota but I’m not sure who was in the wrong or what happened exactly
