Brock Lesnar in Japan: Inoki-ism, and the Dark Days of New Japan Pro Wrestling | Kim Justice

If you hate Brock's part time status and being on top even though he rarely shows up, etc. WWE isn't the first promotion he's done this in. Here you go and watch this..

In a time long before Okada, Naito and Omega, New Japan Pro Wrestling were deep in the red, producing an awful wrestling product and being compared to the last days of WCW. Their founder Antonio Inoki throws a Hail Mary and brings ex-WWE main eventer, NFL washout and soon to be MMA star Brock Lesnar over to carry the company and be their champion...needless to say, things do not go according to plan.

Davey Boy Smith Jr. Discusses Why He Left NJPW

Back in mid-June, Davey Boy Smith Jr. (Harry Smith) announced that he was leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling. Smith's career with the company began as early as 2005, and resurfaced in 2012, where he would be with NJPW on and off for seven years.
Smith spoke with The Hannibal TV and said that there were many factors that led to his decision to leave. Smith cited the workload decrease, not much that could be done for him and his tag partner Lance Archer (who worked together for a long time as the Killer Elite Squad), and the lack of communication between him and management as factors for his departure.
"I was in a situation where I couldn't win," Smith said regarding receiving fewer dates. "New Japan towards the end were only giving me four tours a year. What they had told me or expressed to me was that there was no way they could increase the workload of KES, Lance Archer and myself as a tag team."
Smith also said that there was a lot he wanted to cover, but he felt that the most important thing he wanted his fans and others to know was that for awhile now he felt that his back was up against the wall. Smith said that this was the smartest thing he could do for his career.
"It was a business decision that I had to make for my future," Smith stated. " I felt that the tag team with Lance Archer and myself had expired, and we did all that we could in Japan and in the USA, because we are just not that very well known over here or Canada as a tag team."
Smith also discussed the disputes he had with NJPW booker Gedo had and how that played a vital part in his decision to leave.
"I guess this will all date back to when Lance Archer injured his back on a New Japan tour. I believe it was March of 2017. When Archer and myself returned to New Japan after a two year stint in (Pro Wrestling) NOAH, I myself was very fired up, pumped up, ready to come back and take New Japan by storm. I had done a really crazy diet during that time… and unfortunately as luck has it, Lance Archer got injured and that finally was the straw that broke the camels back. He had to get emergency back surgery over in New Japan.
"I was told that I was going to be on the rest of the remainder of that tour, and I was told by the new person in the office named Saito that I was going to be on the next tour. That was a little over four weeks. He gave me a schedule and I wasn't on the Super Juniors tour. I think I was on something in June. So, when I went home, they had owed me merchandise money from that tour, and they said 'okay you're coming back next month?' I said yeah I'll be back there. I went home and was waiting for my flight and no one gave me any flight information. I sent the office lady and email and said where's my flight, and she said well did you talk to Kedo? You're not on the tour. I said well, that's news to me."
What surfaced next was a lot of name blaming among those in the New Japan office. Smith stated what led to that was when he sent a Facebook message to Gedo and how he "never read or responded to his message." Nor did anyone know if he was or wasn't suppose to be on the current tour.
"I just would've appreciated them being honest with me, and when I was going home they said listen Lance is going to be out for however long. We don't have anything for you because you guys are a tag team. We're sorry, please get booked by yourself, I would've said OK. But when there is that lack of communication, what am I to do?

It's Softball Season So Of Course Sid Wasn't Gonna Show Up. News On Why Sid Vicious Wasn't At WWE RAW Reunion

Most people know the saga of "Softball Sid" anyway, Summer times comes, he starts no showing bookings.. It's been that way for years and years.

As previously reported, former two-time WWE Champion "Psycho" Sid Vicious, f.k.a. Sycho Sid, was the only legend advertised for WWE RAW Reunion that did not appear. While no specifics were given, Sid reportedly pulled out of the show several days ago, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
WWE apparently knew that Sid would not be appearing before they created the graphic for the "RAW Reunion" shirt below, which was released last week. Sid was also not featured in updated promotional material before the show.
Since leaving WWE in 1997, Sid has only appeared on a pair of RAWs in 2012 as part of RAW 1000. Sid defeated Heath Slater on an episode of RAW leading up to the special, and also appeared on RAW 1000 itself as part of a segment where several legends beat up Slater.

And if you think I'm full of shit about the "Softball Sid" deal. Bruce Prichard mentions it... Here.
