Earlier this month, Kota Ibushi competed against Naomichi Marufuji at NOAH The New Year 2024. Ibushi suffered injuries to both ankles during the bout. However, he defeated Marufuji after wrestling for 33 minutes. After the match, Kota Ibushi was transported to the hospital due to severe pain. He
“The report was delayed. It appears that the ligament had been completely torn (there were already fewer ligaments in other places), so I was completely immobilized in a cast that came down to just below my knee.
Next, I will decide what to do with the left side, and the right one will be coming back every two weeks.
My shoulder isn’t in perfect condition either, so I’m planning to fix everything this time.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
I would like to think about various things later.”

    I hope this inspires him to take better care of himself, if not for his own health, than to at least spare himself anymore embarrassing performances.

      Yeah we need fewer DX v Taker/Kane @ Saudi’s, not more. If he can’t give his 100% I’d rather see him hang it up than give us 37%.
