Takagi had some words after that:

I feel ashamed that I was unable to do anything after witnessing the horrific scene in broad daylight, where former Ironman Heavy Metalweight Champion Unagi Kabayaki was ripped apart by Unagi Sayaka in front of a large YouTube audience and several members of the media. For more details on what happened, check out the official DDT YouTube channel.

I can't forgive Unagi Sayaka. Defend your Ironman title until the 4/26 Higashin Arena event. I'll definitely get it back.

User Banned (3 Days): Body-Shaming
I am just going to say it but if your shorter than most of the people in the audience you shouldnt be doing a spooky no sell gimmick. His walking around menacing as the announcers try to act like this is some serious situation and his absolutely dwarfed by the people his walking by.

Lio Rush could have been a top star but he just doesnt have the ability to last in a major promotion, the guy lasted 6 months in AEW. His wikipedia article on his run in AEW is amazing

HAYATA: Yes.

Q: You are the 11th competitor to hold the GHC National Title. How do you feel you rank amongst the 10 previous GHC National Champions?

HAYATA: I deserve to be the number 1 champion ever.

Q: How do you respond to Jack Morris saying you cheated to win?

HAYATA: I don't know what you're talking about.

Q: Jack Morris has demanded a rematch, will you grant Jack Morris an opportunity to regain the title?

HAYATA: No.

Q: How are you preparing for the NJPW Best of Super Jr tournament?

HAYATA: It does.

Q: What are your plans for the rest of 2024?

I can't say I'm not surprised. This is Jimmy Savile levels of abuse in the entertainment industry. The boy band/idol industry in Japan is scummy.

TK has noted NJPW has to sign off on IWGP matches in AEW.

unfortunately i haven't really felt too confident in the belt overall even though Naito's great (prayer circle for knees is over.) best thing mox can do for the belt is dip from AEW for a bit, lose it to a young'un.

Moxley will lose it back to Naito in the summer, otherwise I don't know what NJPW is thinking…
