I'm giving back to New Japan the name Strong Style that I borrowed a year ago. Me and Despe don't need it anymore. I've made new friends, had a lot of fun, and a lot of things happened... I've been to New Japan Pro Wrestling for quite some time, but my professional wrestling life is still in the middle of a journey. In order to become even stronger... on a journey of freedom... let's set sail.

  • Should be noted he wasn't really under contract with NJPW as he's been a long-term freelancer for years. We may end up seeing a lot more of Suzuki in America (as some others have pointed out, he's a much bigger attraction at this point in his career in America than Japan and he can get bigger paydays for fewer bumps which is good at 55yo.

    • Good for him!

      • Definitely. Makes me wonder if TK tries to lock him in or if he just keeps freelancing officially (since he clearly has no issues doing so).
