Yoshi Tatsu appears to be wrestling for All Japan now Huh. I mean, it makes sense since he felt out of place compared to the rest of the roster there but still slightly unexpected. Says on Wikipedia he's been there since the end of September.

Yuki Kanzaki who started wrestling on the Japanese indies last year and recently joined the AJPW dojo has suffered the same injury as Shibata and will likely retire. He was in tears when he told Akiyama that the doctor said his career is over but Jun said his life is more important than wrestling and that there is always a space for him on the All Japan staff in some other form.

Ricochet had a special match against Eita at the Dragon Gate show today, looking like he was bidding farewell to the promotion that helped him grow. I guess he's having a farewell tour before he signs with WWE

The injury that made Yuji Okabayashi drop out of the Global League was worse than first thought. He’ll be out for at least a year.

Not sure if posted or if it's relevant to this thread. but i just found this interview of Toshiaki Kawada. he says here that he lost his passion after Misawa's passing and is running a ramen shop these days.
Such a sad thing in my opinion, he deserved a grand finale to his career.
