Also attached to the announcement was a note from ‘The Wrestler’ Shibata-san himself, who wrote:
Dear Tony Khan
Today, I have signed the contract with AEW under a permission from New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
In the past year, I worked for AEW/ROH and I learned how wonderful the AEW is.
This is the best environment where wrestlers can focus only on fighting in the ring.
And the love for professional wrestling is overflowing from Tony and all the people who work for him.
I want to make AEW’s ring the last end point of The Wrestler’s career.
I dedicate my wrestler life to Tony Khan, and AEW.
Thank you
Katsuyori Shibata
