As El Phantasmo prepares for his title bout at Dominion on June 4, he reflects on his recent expulsion from BULLET CLUB and his subsequent attack on David Finlay after watching his victory over Tama Tonga at Dontaku on May 3. In a recent interview, the NEVER Openweight challenger discussed his cathartic celebration with fans and hinted at where his allegiances may lie in the future. Fans can catch the action live in English on NJPW World. Phantasmo recently spoke about his experience during the pandemic and how it affected his wrestling style. Despite the challenges faced during the pandemic, Phantasmo expressed how special it was to have a moment of triumph, especially after enduring a turbulent time. He also spoke about how the emotions of the last few years culminated in a memorable event at Dontaku, where he made his debut four years ago. The event held extra meaning as it marked a new beginning for him, which coincidentally took place at the same location where he started his wrestling career. The event also coincided with the 10th anniversary of BULLET CLUB. Phantasmo shared that he didn’t initially notice a significant difference between David Finlay’s BULLET CLUB and Jay White’s BULLET CLUB, except for the obvious camaraderie between him, Jay, Juice, and Ishimori. However, after Finlay kicked Jay out in California, things started to change. Finlay began to boss people around, which didn’t sit well with Phantasmo and other members. He mentioned that it left a sour taste in their mouths and emphasized that one should not just walk into BULLET CLUB and start bossing their seniors around. Phantasmo recently opened up about his conflicting feelings regarding the reunion of Juice Robinson and Jay White in AEW as BULLET CLUB Gold. While on one hand, he wants to move away from BULLET CLUB and start fresh, on the other hand, he has a connection with his fellow wrestlers in AEW. However, his focus remains on what’s happening in Japan with Finlay, Ishimori, and KENTA. Phantasmo acknowledges that it’s currently Forbidden Door season, and anything can happen in the world of professional wrestling. Phantasmo is reflecting on his recent removal from BULLET CLUB by Ishimori and KENTA, joining David Finlay in kicking him out at Sakura Genesis. He acknowledges the irony of the situation, as he was once a part of a group decision to kick out Tama Tonga. However, he explains that at the time, it was what Jay thought was best and what the group agreed upon. A year later, Phantasmo thought it was best to bring Finlay down a couple of rungs on the ladder. The future of the situation is uncertain, and Phantasmo believes that something is bound to happen. Phantasmo recently opened up about his departure from Bullet Club, stating that it was a group decision that he was no longer needed. He expressed disappointment, as he had a strong bond with fellow member Ishimori and believed they could have accomplished great things with the addition of KENTA. When asked about his relationship with Bullet Club member Gedo, who has been nicknamed “Bloody Hands” since Finlay joined the group, Phantasmo called him a leech who latches onto talent. While acknowledging Gedo’s success in the business, he expressed disagreement with many of his actions and referred to him as a “little snake.” Despite their history, Phantasmo expressed regret that he never got to see a one-on-one match between Gedo and Jado. The pro-wrestling world is abuzz with excitement at the thought of Gedo and Jado going one-on-one in a New Japan ring. Fans have been clamoring for this match for some time, and it seems that it may finally happen. However, at the recent Dontaku event, El Phantasmo pointed to the Lion Mark on his shorts, leaving fans wondering if he is now a part of Hontai. Phantasmo admits that he hasn’t really thought about it, still dealing with being booted out of BULLET CLUB. However, he makes it clear that his dream was always to be a part of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, not BULLET CLUB Pro-Wrestling. As the anticipation builds, fans can’t wait to see what happens next in the world of pro-wrestling.
