– Bear Bronson responded back to a fan on social media, Bronson feels he’s paying the price for the crime of another.
Trying my best.
I’m forgotten & ignored, just being honest. Almost feels like I’m paying for someone else’s crimes.
But whatever, I’m doing everything I can. My wife, family, fans, wrestlers & many others have been there for me lifting me up & pushing me to succeed on my own. https://t.co/t2068m9UwO

Tetsuya Naito has accomplished everything there is in NJPW. I think he’ll take time off to heal his injuries and start back up as a freelancer, wrestling various promotions, from big major promotions to small independent promotions. That way, it’ll freshen up his character and give him brand new opportunities.
