<p>Just a day after our last show it was announced Jeff Cobb was leaving the company and the tag titles were vacated. Then one of the biggest stunners of the year was announced: Tetsuya Naito (and BUSHI) are out of NJPW. After an alleged mutual agreement Dylan rides solo to go through the history of the 3 men, what they meant to NJPW (including a spicy take or two about Naito's usage through the years) and what the future could hold. What's it gonna be? What led to this? Where is it all going? For Cobb, we pretty much know where he's going. Naito...there are a world of infinite possibilities.</p> <p> </p> <p>For more coverage of Japanese wrestling, and wrestling past and present please check out our Patreon for literally 1000s of hours of audio and written content as well: https://www.patreon.com/easternlariat </p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on Twitter/X: </p> <p> </p> <p>https://www.twitter.com/easternlariat </p> <p> </p> <p>https://www.twitter.com/strigga </p> <p> </p> <p>https://www.twitter.com/viva_zero</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on BlueSky:</p> <p>@easternlariat.bsky.social</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on IG:</p> <p>https://www.instagram.com/easternlariat</p>
