One of the only times this site talks about WWE is developing news just coming out: Amidst a firestorm of talent cuts yesterday after a new TV deal for their SmackDown program was announced (I will be attending next week’s show in Sacramento, CA), most notably near-20 year stalwart Dolph Ziggler, today comes word that Japanese wrestler Ikemen Jiro is gone. Jiro, who previously was Jiro Kuroshio (not his real name) in Japan in WRESTLE-1, competed mainly in the NXT label and mostly on programs seen only on streaming although he had a brief tag team run when New Japan’s KUSHIDA was in WWE prior to his current run in Impact Wrestling. Otherwise he mainly was a comedy wrestler. No word yet on his future plans
