NOAH... TWO!

Yeah, they may freelance or get signed elsewhere. Jake Lee is a great talent and can honestly go anywhere he wants. As for the others, until I see the names I have no clue on.

I'm not in to AJPW much, is there any reason behind that (management, booking etc)?

I would say management and booking honestly. Jake Lee won the belt finally from his arch rival only to lose it within a month

Suwama: Tajiri is the reason Jake Lee left AJPW

He claimed that Tajiri "brainwashed" Jake into departing from AJPW (since they were in Total Eclipse unit), and that he's not the only person who fell for that. Francesco Akira also named here as someone who was influenced by Tajiri into leaving AJPW for NJPW. It is also stated that Lee and Tajiri's relationship with Suwama worsened recently as they were critical of him and his decisions.
Also, Suwama said that door to AJPW is closed for Lee and he won't be welcomed back anymore.

══════════════
WTF? Why would any one think, that closing door for potential return is good idea?

 

[Chris]

I'm not versed in any of this but I feel Akira made the right move if this is true. Sounds like Suwama is paranoid tho

 

[Alexa]

Bruh...I could go into about this, but man that is crazy
