Thank you for the motivation.
Thank you for carrying the junior division so long.
But most of all thank you for so many learning experiences.
Feel like a huge part of my life has gone but I’m very happy for you.

New Japan will need Junior Heavyweights.
I could name 5 lads in the UK alone that would be a great addition.
Time to step up lads https://t.co/d3iumwRBVt
