- He hasn't wrestled since a life-threatening experience caused by a subdural hematoma discovered after he collapsed following a match with Kazuchika Okada last year, but as he revealed talking to the media at his new job as head coach for New Japan in Los Angeles, Shibata is still giving back to pro wrestling - and keeping his dream of returning to the ring alive.

That a good one
Surprised he didn't headbutt that interviewer...
That's all well and good but does Shibata know how many lawsuits would get filed against NJPW in LA if they replicated the same practices as an old school Japanese Dojo.
Look at Bill DeMott, he stiffs a few of these snowflakes and gets fired and treated like a monster.
KatchouroBlade according to a lot of them though, he was a total asshole. That may have flown under the radar and may have been perceived as acceptable back in the day but it isn't anymore and I'm glad things changed.
How can you not love Shibata. One of the unsung all time greats!
As I began watching New Japan at the end of 2017, I don’t know so much about him as he doesn’t wrestle anymore. I watched his match with Okada and Sakura Genesis and I liked it. I hope to watch other matches of his overtime.
ATA v AzZaZiN he still does wrestle he’s just out of action cause of an injury
Holy Shibata! Agreed, especially one of the greatest in the last 20 years or so. He brought back the original tradition of pro wrestling. He made it feel like a sport again.
Only God knows how much i miss this guy
Seeing him happy, healthy and smiling legit brings a tear to my eye. There's just always been something about him, he's menacing but also endearing.
he has his own unique style of wrestling, he reminds me of a warrior whose fight is too big for his own safety, only a life threatening injury can stop him, seeing him wrestle gives me such hope and tranquility
he's just happy to be alive.
Same
Shibata's No. 1 Rule:
If you disobey your sensei, *expect headbutt thereafter.*
Vaas Montenegro if he do it, he maybe paralyze for good.
I would not risk it though.
I love you, Shibata.
Imagine an american born and bred wrestler doing Shibata-style in the future as a western star for NJPW. What a great prospect!
I imagine a lot of headbutts.
Иван Пичугин daniel bryan
That would be Timothy Thatcher.
great to see shibata again
the translator is soo good. the fact she can start translating right after they start talking is amazing
Its nice seeing Shibata again and him being the head leader of the dojo, young boys are gonna be more rough in the future lol
Shibata my all time favorite wrestler. I miss him so much, wish he would return soon.
Shibata is like the Jiren of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Hopefully he'll get his Dbry moment someday
Shibata is a legend.
I would kill to be trained at the New Japan dojo (either USA or Tokyo). Willing to learn from the bottom with hard discipline and devotion to the sport. Being trained by Katsuyori Shibata...that in itself is an honorable privilege that no upstarter should take for granted..
My dream is for Shibata to teach me his wrestling style, like Okada Gedo is always with him. He best wrestler hard hitting ever my opinion I hope he returns back to ring I hope so miss him so much his wrestling style sooo much
Are you two training?
You gotta love Shibata. Suffered a potentially career ending injury, only just miraculously recovered, and still refuses to admit defeat to it. The man is the epitome of Strong Style bushido spirit.
Awesome news, cant wait for his return match
It’ll be a miracle if he does return as a wrestler m.
Ah man i dunno why i cried with happiness when i see Shibata smile, and happy with his job as a trainer in LA dojo hope you the best Shibata
It's awesome that he wants to put in the work for the betterment and the awareness raising of physical and mental safety of wrestlers.
great to see him this healthy !!
I hope Shibata returns. Other than Minoru, no one hits hard like him. He was a great never weight champ
Taylar Tupou yes,indeed he was a good NOweight but we can only wait now
Did you just tomohiro ishii damn
He's itching so bad to return to the ring. I feel you bro.
Minoru Suzuki should be a teacher here to. Make these guys really learn what it means to get in the ring in Japan.
This made me sad.. Damn he should have won the title and kept it forever.
But he'll get stripped of the title straight away)):
He was the toughest guy in wrestling bar none
Saurabh Tripathi yea,maybe in another universe
Cant wait for a return. Eventhough it will be half assed so he doesnt get hurt, its still something i NEED to see
Shibata is such a cool guy to talk to. He's so humble.
Asked him if he would still use his headbutt as part of his moveset, and he said that he isn't sure if he would be allowed to.....then joked that he might do it on some of the trainees.
Shibata always keeps his promises.
Ok who wants to form a stable and head to La. Shibata will teach us the way.
This man is so awesome,he could make tons of money training actors for tv series or movies.
柴田さんの目があの時のようにギラギラしてる！
必ず戻って来てくれると。それがレスラーの姿だと信じています
Its good to see shibata recovered well,not yeat to come back to the ring (he might have to be a daniel bryan 2.0 on returning to the ring,but hopefully he will be an very good trainer for stiff wrestlers
I wonder if the the American dojo will have the same feel as the fabled japanese ones
Where you have to do all of the work from cleaning to laundry and then train for most of the day 7 days a week
Seriously recommend guys to not go in expecting an open environment like the performance centre
no one cares I hope they do that.
Yes, run like the one in Tokyo
Deluxe Division western students are snowflakes, on japanese dojos, getting the shit kicked out of you is a huge part of the learning process, that stuff won't last in the US with students who get offended over everything
The level of strictness will go down in the US
no one cares perfomance center is a piece of trash compared to the njpw dojo,where you really start from the bottom until you becone something
Apparently they're weeklong training sessions, so they don't have the exact same format as the Japanese one, but I'd imagine the wrestling training itself is very similar.
The storyline would be so perfect if Okada wins back the IWGP Championship, hopefully in another feud w/ Naito, and then, at the G1, they leave a "mystery" spot for a competitor. In comes Shibata, wins the G1, goes on to face Okada at the Tokyo Some, they work a match where the roles are almost reverse, turning Okada as heel as possible. Then they set up the same spot, as corny as that sounds, people will hold on for their dead lives. Shibata looks at Okada, pulls him up by the hand, and Rainmakers the shit out of him, and goes on to win.
"Having a border or... boundary... that kind of age is over. I think we are boundary-less. The colour of eyes, skins - nothing matters."
I'm thinking of starting a petition to get Shibata to forearm the fake tan off Trump's face.
You can see that Shibata treats this interview with respect with him using the watashi pronoun. I hope that a lot of western wrestlers would learn the NJPW style of wrestling under his watch.
I’ll give him two years until he returns in ring and beats the current champ for the belt
He's become even more handsome.
Hope he can atleast have some few matches left in him without it being harmful to him
頑張れ柴田！
The kenshiro of NJPW.
Well it’s good if he can come back,but guys give him a break,his probably aware that headbut may have cost him career,we should wait and see regarding his teaching method.
My Dream Match
Shibata Vs Bryan Danielson
F####### 100000000000000⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ match
🐐 vs 🐐
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😏👍
Man it’s weird to see shibata without his hair-do. Also I wanna learn shibata style wrestling style, but only shibata could make it work obviously, this guy had a death wish or something, but you can’t tell people how they can live their life, if shibata wanted to go out daily and kill wrestlers in the ring for a living, along with himself, I still respect that, how can you not, he did it his way and he’s happy.
Tanahashi is worried
Uncle Dave with the deppresive question
Yep Buzz Killington
柴田、完璧に治るまで慎重に慎重に。
Why didn't you guys interview Naito? He's the MVP for crying out loud.
Asad Khan Naito isn't running the dojo
The MVP is Okada and he's getting guest spots on ESPN as well as other media.
Really? Then, how come Naito won the MVP award from Tokyo Sports?
Asad Khan they're interviewing Shibata cause he's running the LA DOJO
But they also interviewed Tanahashi, Okada, Jay White and Hangman Page
Katsuyori Shibata vs Daniel Bryan
the new daniel bryan
It this mean we can be Katsuyori Shibata student?
Angel S Book man I think it takes a certain type of person to be his student lol, I wouldn’t last in his dojo probably.
Yes, but only the US or foreign ones
"Teach everyone Shibata-style wrestling"
Hopefully not to headbutt a guy as hard as possible and end your career in the process
But his career isn't over 🤔🤔🤔
one of his style is a cinematography tho. all his latest match might be a total mma like minoru suzuki or sakuraba, but, he have that magic to make his matches looks beautiful on new japan camera.
TacoDudeBro he almost died I don't think he should be teaching that move regardless lol
Death is scared of Shibata.
If Daniel Bryan can come back so can Shibata
Kamen Rider Mars
Concussion and some neck issues is different from subdural hematoma.
People can dream
I hope........
柴田English
通訳の女性ほんとカワイイし優秀ですね～
English subtitles on UA-cam suck. Just to throw it out there. Might get a good laugh out of it?
Shibata style? i afraid people might run away. no headbutt pls.
Maybe if he gets treatments like Daniel Bryan
通訳が素晴らしい。。。
簡単な単語で充分なんだなと思った。
あっ！柴田がんばれw
:'(
Why the hell would he want to teach them American style wrestling? This is New Japan Pro-Wrestling lol.
I feel sorry for the students of the there as this guy might be the stiffest and the dumbest wrestler to have as a coach!
I'm gonna be honest, here. I like Shibata's matches, but, and this is an unpopular opinion, he is a first-class idiot for playing Russian Roulette with his career with no regard for his safety or that of his opponents. Only an idiot would do that to himself and now I have to feel sorry for him? Save the sadness and the tears for this guy because it's his own fault that he's brought his career to a possible halt. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's healthy now, but ask someone like Bret Hart on his opinion of wrestlers like Shibata, that shit wouldn't fly in his environment.
Katchouroblade+ Bret is never happy it a three way tie between him, ole Anderson and Jim cornette for being the miserable and bitter bastard in wrestling history
Corney has a very narrow view of what type of wrestling he likes, Ole's a nihilist who screwed himself out of a Hall of Fame payday and Bret's a mark for himself.
They're three guys living in the past that don't realise it's OK to look back every now and again, but if you stare too long you just come across as a bitter old curmudgeon up your own ass.
SuperAttitudeera you’re right about watching out for your opponent, but blaming him for his own health? He chose this, it’s not a cake walk. And he doesn’t need any sympathy from anybody. It’s not his fault that he gives it his all, just like Daniel Bryan, instead of bashing the likes of him, learn to respect their hearts, that’s the only way they know how to wrestle, if they give it their all, 100% through a match, does that mean short careers, maybe. But they do it their own way, you can’t tell them how to live their lives, they only know one thing, to be the best in that ring.
SuperAttitudeera That may be true but putting his life on the line was sadly entertaining for all of us
