You aren't wrong lol Ibushi is a nut, but NOAH isn't out of the blame game. Any and every pro wrestling promotion (especially one of NOAH's size) is supposed to have a medical team clearing people to wrestle just like anywhere else. The fact that they either don't, do and didn't check him out properly, or do and didn't give enough of a shit cause Ibushi went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is a big fuck up. Legit went into the ring with a broken ankle.

Oh I agree that NOAH aren't blameless, but it was probably a case of Ibushi being like "I can do this, I'm like 90% healthy!" and them thinking that the 10% is like bruised ribs or ring rust or something, and not a broken fucking ankle.

He was on an AEW show in November, was he as banged up then? I only really remember him doing that ridiculous bicycle spot, cycling really slowly around the ring with a pipe in his hand.

Technically yeah? I mean his shoulder injury still isn't really healed as far as I know, since hes refused surgery for it and most (all?) of the matches hes worked lately have been multiman I think. Whether he had his other problems them, no idea.
