I'm giving back to New Japan the name Strong Style that I borrowed a year ago. Me and Despe don't need it anymore. I've made new friends, had a lot of fun, and a lot of things happened... I've been to New Japan Pro Wrestling for quite some time, but my professional wrestling life is still in the middle of a journey. In order to become even stronger... on a journey of freedom... let's set sail.

Should be noted he wasn't really under contract with NJPW as he's been a long-term freelancer for years. We may end up seeing a lot more of Suzuki in America (as some others have pointed out, he's a much bigger attraction at this point in his career in America than Japan and he can get bigger paydays for fewer bumps which is good at 55yo.

Good for him!

Definitely. Makes me wonder if TK tries to lock him in or if he just keeps freelancing officially (since he clearly has no issues doing so).
