Shinsuke Nakamura Suggests Kota Ibushi For Global Cruiserweight Series

– Shinsuke Nakamura has reportedly recommended Kota Ibushi for the WWE Network Global Cruiserweight Series. Japanese Audio Wrestling reporter Chris Charlton took to Twitter to report on a feature on Ibushi for Tokyo Sports, conducted after Ibushi said that he was going “freelance” and wouldn’t re-sign exclusive deals with New Japan or DDT:

Triple H has said that the series, which premieres later this year, would be recruiting from around the world and that he would be open to any talent not under exclusive contract. While he is going freelance, Ibushi has said that he is interested in continuing to work with Kenny Omega, who is under exclusive contract to NJPW.
