>>9537660>Shibata is ashamed of all of them. He considers the Dojo a failure. He offered to retire in humiliation but NJPW/Bushiroad want him around.What the fuck is this complete headcanon? kek
Shibata's in the doghouse with NJPW for his Wrestle Kingdom match, that's why he hasn't been booked in NJPW. But he wants to wrestle, so he's taking indie bookings and having to put guys over.
Shibata himself has made his own feelings clear about it.
He feels that he must wrestle or he might as well be dead. He's The Wrestler after all, it's who he is.
