Katsuyori Shibata Reportedly Training Antonio Inoki’s Grandson

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that AEW wrestler Katsuyori Shibata is said to be training Naoto Inoki, the grandson of legend Antonio Inoki. There were rumors this was the case back in November, when a photo circulated of the two sitting on a wrestling ring.

Shibata has worked as the trainer for NJPW’s Los Angeles dojo in the past.
