Voices of Wrestling : "Everyone hates Tajiri".

The following is an excerpt from the latest "BREAKING NEWS UPDATE" posted by Joe Lanza of the Voices of Wrestling Flagship podcast on the VoW patreon.

This week, Naoya Nomura and Koji Iwamoto announced their departures from All Japan Pro Wrestling. Nomura publicly announced that he would like to wrestle one more AJPW match before moving on. Iwamoto has stated he wishes to take some time off from wrestling altogether.

In regards to Iwamoto. I have been told that he has been at odds with the AJPW office, in particular Tajiri, for some time, a situation that has heated up over the last six months. Seeing openings at the top of the card, in particular among young talent, Iwamoto had been pushing for a move to heavyweight. It was announced a few months back that he would be competing as an "openweight" wrestler, which he initially took as a positive. However, when it became apparent that the extent of the elevation was a mid-card tag team with Ryuki Honda, Iwamoto saw that as a dead end position and asked to move back to junior, with the mindset that at least as a junior he was being pushed. Iwamoto's thought process is that now that he's in his 30's, with no feeling that AJPW has any interest in giving him a serious push as a heavyweight, that it was time to leave the company altogether.

GLEAT made an offer to Iwamoto as recently as August, for when his current AJPW deal expires. There are some inside the locker room who believe Iwamoto's public statement, where [he claims he wants to take a year long sabbatical from pro wrestling] (which is also what he told the office), is a smokescreen, with the idea that Iwamoto wants out of his deal now so he can jump to GLEAT immediately. I was unable to confirm when Iwamoto's current contract with AJPW expires, but the obvious speculation is January 2023, which would line up with Iwamoto's claim that he wants to take a full year off from pro wrestling.

One source indicated that most of the departures can be traced to Jun Akiyama's exit from the company, and the old crew struggling with the new Tajiri led office. This lines up with Yusuke Okada's 2020 departure, which we reported at the time on The Flagship as loyalty to Akiyama and disagreements with the new booking office.
