[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Taiji Ishimori has left Pro Wrestling NOAH, claiming that if he didn't take the big step now, he would regret it forever

[chrom]

That's a blow for NOAH

[chrom]

So where will he end up now? NXT bound perhaps

[Malibu Albino]

NJPW sounds more likely than NXT.

Ogawa and Minoru have relinquished the GHC Jr tag titles today. Over protest of Ishimori resigning and leaving NOAH.

You guys couldn't wait a week and drop them to some team?
