– Antonio Inoki is making press once more as he stated that he wants to become the oldest living IWGP Heavyweight Champion. An honor that Genichiro Tenryu holds at the age of 49 years old. The 71 years old Inoki has stated that he has seen the Great Kojika, who is the same age as Inoki, once more claim a championship belt. Inoki said that he has enough fighting spirit left in his body to hold the belt in the promotion that he built from the ground up.
– “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero announced that he is heading to New Japan Pro Wrestling to reclaim the rights to the character that “Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada took from him.
– Takashi Iizuka has formally announced his retirement as he stated that it is his intentions to pursue the later half of his adulthood as a professional artist. The best of luck to Iizuka in his future endeavors.
– Prince Devitt stated that he has indeed signed a contract! … BUT with a high-end model agency to become their first living body easel. “Why would I join the WWE or even TNA when my abs are clearly worth more with paint on them?” (…I guess the theme today is centered around paint…)
