Today at New Japan's show, Minoru Suzuki announced the disbandment and dissolving of The Suzukigun Faction.
He announced that the group would be breaking up by the end of 2022 and the group members going their separate ways. The faction had been a staple of New Japan Pro Wrestling since 2011.
I wonder if this means if Suzuki is getting ready to retire from wrestling.

Hopefully it means he'll be doing even more freelancing rather than retiring.
Love seeing him pop up in aew, DDT, gcw, chocopro etc.

I assume someone’s gonna jump him on his way out and take the reigns. It’s the way. |

It’s a sad day. A very sad day. They’re the one heel faction in the world who seem to actually like each other.

Wasn't infighting or losers disband that caused them to break up, Suzuki just announced that they were ending by the last day of the year.

What god would allow CHAOS to still exist and take SZKG from us?
I’ll miss this group, and I hope most stay together with New Japan under a new name/banner. I’ve heard concerns that some might join Suzuki in freelance work, but ideally having them just become Jake Lee’s army at New Year Dash would be good.

One of the best factions comprised of some of the best wrestlers out there. If this is really it for them, I do like how they're going out amicably. It's on theme for them.

I would not be shocked if Sabre or Taichi took control, but they also will probably just let the group end because they already have Bullet Club/House of Torture and United Empire, so there just isn't really a strong need for another heel faction.
Could maybe see one of the teams staying together, though, along the same lines as Great Bash Heel doing that.

As the end approaches in one week, I wanted to share my favorite moment in the history of the group: the end of TAKATaichiMania 3 from this past January.
It starts with Taichi giving DOUKI's background and decade of struggles after their very underrated match. Suzuki also mentioned these at the Tag League Finals, and the moment here is made sweeter when Zack comes down and consoles an emotional DOUKI. Then Suzuki, Despy and Nobu enter the ring to celebrate Miho Abe's birthday. The highlight here is Suzuki's genuine apologetic tone when he mentions that the cake was accidentally dropped.
Such a fun, wholesome moment for the group paired against their history as brutal antagonists. These people are family, and I firmly believe they will continue to be so after next week, even if we never get to see it again.
