Rumor former NJPW wrestler Karl Fredericks was seen at the WWE performance center. I was think about him the other day as a guy who could fit WWE. Seems like NJPW were high on him but COVID arriving after his excursion started and miscommunication really hurt him. And, as stated before, him not really evolving after graduating from young lion did him no favors either. Connors, Kidd (even with his problems) and Coughlin clearly had him surpassed by the time he left. Still, he can be a good hand and if he can bite into a good gimmick I think he could be a reliable guy in the WWE for years. But, again, it really depends on how he evolves in that environment.

Good luck to Karl. NJPW seems like it can be a great place to be, but it's not for everybody.

Fredericks looked the best aesthetically in the beginning, but years later he didn’t get much better in the ring. Coughlin, Connors and Kidd all surpassed him, and I think Knight was not far behind. Sometimes it felt like he was copying The Rock of all people in a New Japan ring, which was weird.
Wish all the best for him if he ends up in WWE or elsewhere, but I tend to trust NJPW’s process on talent development.

Antonio Inoki, the founder of New Japan Pro Wrestling has passed away at the age of 79.
I expect there to be a tribute to Inoki tomorrow and at Declaration of Power

Stunning to hear about Inoki's passing, what with the life he had.

Tomorrow's Stardom show will reveal the competitors for The IWGP Women's As usual they didn’t announce it lol. Giulia won the 5 star so I would guess (my wrong speculation purely) if we are going by the card already announced for the show Mayu, AZM, Himeka, Saki is my guess. Super telegraphed KAIRI vs Mayu final.
