New York, December 17 - Pro wrestling sensation Kota Ibushi, known for his resilience and high-flying prowess, recently shared candid insights into a challenging period in his career, where a shoulder injury led him to contemplate retirement. The Japanese star discussed his journey, recent appearances in AEW, and addressed questions about his future in a conversation with Pro Wrestling NOAH’s website.## Ibushi's shoulder injury, sustained during the NJPW G1 Finals in October 2021, forced him out of action until his return at Bloodsport 9 in March 2023. Since then, he has made notable appearances in AEW and is gearing up for a significant match at NOAH The New Year on January 2, where he will face Naomichi Marufuji.## In the interview, Ibushi reflected on his potential retirement, emphasizing his uncertainty about when his wrestling journey will conclude. He expressed a desire to continue wrestling for as long as there is demand but acknowledged that if the demand diminishes, he would willingly step away.## "I’m not the type to set my own time frame, so I want to do as much as I can. But…well…if I can’t do it anymore, if there is no more demand, I think it’s the end. If there is no more demand, I ask them to cut me off immediately. I’m the type of person who says that if I find out, I’ll quit immediately."## Discussing his upcoming match with Marufuji, Ibushi highlighted his admiration for Marufuji's decision-making approach and expressed a hope to contribute to Marufuji's remaining years in wrestling. ##
