Top Japanese Star "Interested" In Signing For WWE
Wrestling fans could see this former New Japan standout on WWE TV very soon.
Former New Japan star Kota Ibushi had admitted that he's "interested" in talking to WWE chiefs and finding out if they have something for him full-time.
Ibushi's NJPW contract expired on 1 February, and he's available to work immediately. The celebrated worker told 'Dark Puroresu Flowsion' that he's "good at producing players" and has "created stars" in the past - Kota believes WWE would like that, and doesn't think company booking could hold him down.
On that, Ibushi added: "So, I don’t think there’s anyone who can control me even in that frame". Then, he said: "I live so freely".
This 'come and get me' plea to Triple H might've piqued WWE's interest. If they don't go for Ibushi, then Tony Khan will surely come calling and see if he can thrash out terms with the former IWGP World Champion. Kota won't be short of suitors, that's for sure.
Ibushi is as healthy as he's been for years now, and isn't shy about touting his wares for promoters worldwide to see. He's currently scheduled to wrestle Mike Bailey on 30 March in LA, but is already looking beyond that to bigger opportunities.
