Top Star Says He’s ‘Done’ With NJPW

A top star in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) has said that he’s “done” with the promotion following the conclusion of Wrestle Kingdom 15.

Speaking with the NJPW press for a YouTube video on the promotion’s channel, Jay White seemingly quit after losing the huge championship main event to Kota Ibushi.

White said:

“I go through all of that for what? You don’t even have the tiniest bit of respect, the tiniest bit of empathy to where you would think to help somebody in need. I will never be appreciated like I should be. I see it… I see it now.

“I am out here in Japan wasting my life away for what? During a global pandemic. I’m not going to do this anymore. If this is all it’s for, I’m not going to do it. If they wanna make me show up tomorrow… I’ll show up tomorrow if you want me to. But after that… that’s it. I’m done.”

Next up for New Japan is New Year’s Dash, which by the sound of his comments, White may well be appearing on. But after that, he’ll seemingly be gone.
