#It's already causing issues with his very brief DDT appearances IMO | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

I haven't watched any of Wrestle Dynasty at all, but I woke up to the news that Takeshita has apparently signed a contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling? But the most surprising part is that he is also still under contract with both DDT Pro and with AEW?

This news really shocked me. I don't think I've ever heard of a wrestler simultaneously having contracts with three different companies, let alone three different companies on two different continents.

I personally have mixed feelings about it - Takeshita's an amazing wrestler, but I'm not a fan of the constant promotional crossover thing, and I'd rather see him build up a story in one place than have him doing short appearances at three different promotions. But he sure wrestled a lot more in NJPW than DDT in 2024, and while I don't follow AEW I think the same might be true of AEW, so I suppose it makes a certain kind of sense.

#NJPW could sure use a guy like Takeshita right now so I definitely get why they would be very eager to sign him in any way possible #I just cannot express how done I am with constant AEW involvement in things #I'm leery of how being signed with AEW will affect how NJPW has to book him #It's already causing issues with his very brief DDT appearances IMO #also I would love to just watch wrestling without having to think about AEW for a while #I am also strongly of the opinion that once a wrestler signs with another promotion they should just leave the old one #especially if their new promotion refuses to let their old promotion book them to lose #The wrestler who left coming back every so often to beat younger wrestlers and then just leave again is bad actually
