I was dreading listening to him actually, didn't think Mike Tyson and commentary sounded like things that went together but I was completely taken aback by how knowledgeable and passionate he was 🤣 fair play to him, hope AEW keep using him because he clearly loves being there, actually wish he'd called the entire show.

For the ones who don't know who Katsuyori Shibata is, he came along alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura. Went to MMA, came back to NJPW, solidified himself as an upper-midcarder/main eventer (his NEVER Openweight Championship reign was the best in the belt's history, in my opinion), and he suffered a subdural hematoma in a match against Okada. If you thought Bryan Danielson's return was unlikely, Shibata's was deemed impossible.
