Kota Ibushi, the former AEW star who recently admitted to turning 44 and expressing doubt about his return to the ring, has set a new course for his career by choosing to build a professional wrestling venue in Tokyo after sustaining injuries. Despite his injury, Ibushi plans to take up another role in the industry, emphasizing that the wrestling world is facing a significant shift due to the closure of Shinjuku FACE. He believes the disappearance of such venues signals a broader cultural crisis, and he is determined to contribute through his own efforts. Ibushi's decision to focus on creating a pro space even without the ability to wrestle highlights the growing demand for independent promotions, which he views as essential for the industry's future. His approach suggests that rebuilding the industry may require both innovation and adaptability, leaving room for new possibilities while addressing long-standing issues.
