Hashimoto leaves Zero One

[Guest Black Tiger]

Hashimoto has officially left Zero One, and with the Hoshikawa injury, they're in big trouble. They haven't made anyone into really big names other than Sato and Ohtani, and odds are Sato and Yokoi are going to wind up following Hashimoto back to New Japan.

 

I don't see them lasting too much longer, but hopefully Ohtani does a better job than Hashimoto did as the leader.

I like Ohtani, and am a huge fan of his, but he's not someone who can carry a company. I would say that Ogawa could have been someone to try and build around, but that seems highly unlikely, what with his PRIDE stuff and the other baggage that comes with Ogawa.

 

Is Hashimoto definitely going back to New Japan ? Might he visit All Japan again first ?

[Guest Black Tiger]

Nothing is definite other than Hashimoto no longer being part of Zero One. There has been talk of Hashimoto going to New Japan though, and having his 20th Anniversary match.

 

If/When they do go under. I'd bet that Sato and Yokoi will wind up in New Japan, while most of the Z1 wrestlers will probably go to All Japan.

I never followed Zero-One really, but why did Ohtani leave New Japan in the first place?

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Is this really something to really worry about? I mean, isn't there a chance that Hash may never wrestle again with his last injury? Then again, I know he'a a dumbass who will wrestle with an injury to the point where his arm would probably fall off before he rested his injured shoulder.

Well, Z1 is officially fucked.

I never followed Zero-One really, but why did Ohtani leave New Japan in the first place?

I believe he had a falling out with management over the way he was being pushed. He wasn't happy with what they were doing with him, so he walked. There was talk of him returning in the past, but because whoever it was he wasn't happy with was still there, I presume that to be Inoki, he never did.

Please excuse me for the stupid question but i've only been out of the loop for a year and a half: Isn't Hash the founder of Z-1?, if so how the hell can he leave his own company?

[Guest Black Tiger]

Hashimoto didn't really OWN it, its a corporation with multiple owners and he was forced out.

 

Much like Rob Feinstein was forced out of RoH, even though he started it.
