Gabe Kidd believes that we are living in the best era of NJPW.
The promotion has changed quite a bit in recent years, with big stars like Will Ospreay, Jay White, and Kazuchika Okada all leaving to go wrestle in AEW. Meanwhile, other performers like Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have also left the company to sign with WWE.
While speaking to Adrian Hernandez for a new interview, Gabe Kidd stated that New Japan was americanized before the War Dogs took over.
“I feel like the best era of New Japan is right now because I’m at the forefront. Me and the War Dogs are at the forefront. New Japan before, it was a joke, it was Americanized. You want to watch American wrestling? Go watch WWE or AEW, I don’t care about none of that shit. You want the real stuff, come and watch New Japan Pro-Wrestling. That’s my team, that’s the one that I rep, and that is where the best are. Everyone talks about where the best wrestle. If the best wrestle there, why am I not there every single time? Because I am the best, I slap the shit out of these idiots."
