Chaddes Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) BREAKING: Totoya Munakata Leaves PGHW! In quite shocking news, Totoya Munakata after 8 years in Pride Glory Honor Wrestling has announced his departure from the company to join the promotion's former developmental promotion, Pro Wrestling SAISHO as their new head booker! The former two-time Historical Japan Champion had been featured on a recent tour, challenging Reaver for the International Championship at the December 2019 show Night of WRESTLING, so him leaving has come as quite a shock to both PGHW and the wrestling world alike. Munakata posted a statement on Twitter today. "I would first off like to thank PGHW and Nobuatsu Tatsuko for giving me a home and developing me as a pro wrestler. I'll always be grateful for the opportunities they gave me in the company. The reason I am leaving isn't anything personal between myself or any of the PGHW staff or wrestlers, it's purely for my own happiness." "Over the past several years I have grown more and more disillusioned with Puroresu. I feel like for the last year especially I have been forcing myself to do a style of wrestling that I don't personally align with. After multiple discussions with Tatsuko and Shuji Inukai, we agreed it would be best for me to part ways and chase after MY vision for what this sport should be." "Pro Wrestling SAISHO and Mito Miwa have been generous enough to allow me to showcase what that vision is, and I can't be anymore grateful to one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. I can't wait to get started as the new head booker and give you fans a company you can be proud of." "SHOOT-STYLE SAISHO FOREVER."
