As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, Will Ospreay is headed to AEW full-time beginning at the Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event, and Claudio Castagnoli recently spoke with Adrian Hernandez to discuss why he believes Ospreay decided to leave NJPW for AEW. He said,
“I’m sure there was something for Will where it’s like … Tokyo Dome, New Japan. He’s been there for, I believe, it was seven plus years, there’s the same thing of like, ‘Okay I’ve done this, I know I can do this, if I want to challenge myself.”
He continued, “That’s always the scary part. Do you choose comfort or do you want to challenge yourself and take that leap of faith?”
Satoshi Kojima took to Twitter today to send a Valentine’s Day message to his fans. The MLW World Heavyweight Champion wrote the following,
“Today is Valentine’s Day in Japan.
I like chocolate, but I prefer bread.
Yes, it’s okay to eat chocolate bread.
I’m happy to be able to eat both.
But I get fat. But that doesn’t matter, brother!”
