    Update:

    Don't ask me to explain the parties, as is common outside of US politics, the names don't mean the same shit as they do here necessarily. If you're outside the US, you know that already. LDP for example are a conservative party.

     

    Five major political parties have jointly submitted a motion to punish opposition lawmaker Antonio Inoki for his recent unauthorized visit to North Korea.

    Inoki, a House of Councillors lawmaker from Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party), visited North Korea from Saturday through Thursday, despite his failure to gain approval from the upper house.

    The motion was submitted Friday to the upper house by the Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner New Komeito, as well as the Democratic Party of Japan, Your Party and the Japanese Communist Party. The House of Councillors Discipline Committee is expected to decide on a penalty for Inoki as early as Nov. 15.

    SURPRISING WWE NXT RELEASE
    By Mike Johnson on 2013-11-09 00:07:43
    WWE released NXT star Kassius Ohno, aka Chris Hero, who has worked in main event level positions for Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling NOAH, CHIKARA, IWA Mid-South and CZW, among other promotions all over the world, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

    According to multiple sources, Ohno was released by WWE officials while waiting to begin training Friday morning at the Performance Center.

    Ohno had just returned to WWE NXT after being held off of TV for some time. What will turn out to be his final appearance, a loss to The Wyatt Family's Luke Harper, aired this past Wednesday on NXT. He had been signed to WWE developmental in 2012.

    Ohno, a Dayton, Ohio native, broke into the business in 1998 and was trained by a slew of excellent trainers, including Les Thatcher and Dory Funk Jr.

    Similar to the career path that Daniel Bryan took, he traveled the world, most notable Germany, England and Australia, learning all sorts of different styles and adding them to his in-ring repertoire. I've always likened him to a young Barry Windham because of his tall frame and working ability.

    Like a lot of other independent stars of the early 2000s, Hero made his name with a lot of travel, not just internationally but all over the United States, driving with a crew that included Antonio Cesaro (then Claudio Castagnoli) and the late Larry Sweeney, among others, and worked pretty much everywhere. He clicked in just about every major independent promotion of the era.

    Hero originally built his name in Ian Rotten's IWA Mid-South, where he ended up having a great feud with CM Punk (as recounted on Punk's Best in the World DVD documentary) as well as a long run in CHIKARA, where he was a top name there as well as one half of the Kings of Wrestling tag team with Cesaro.

    He soon made his way to CZW, where he worked as a top heel there and began working regularly for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla in California as well.

    The one promotion Hero wasn't getting booked for was Ring of Honor, which was considered the top independent promotion in the landscape, so when he showed up as a mystery opponent representing CZW against then-ROH champion Bryan Danielson (aka Daniel Bryan), it was a huge, legitimate shock for that audience and helped kick off a CZW vs. ROH feud that drew great numbers for ROH as well as an audience that was as legitimately split down the middle as a New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys game.

    Hero morphed into a regular member of the ROH roster, capturing their Tag belts with Cesaro, who he held a number of other tag straps with. He began training and wrestling for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and did well there, including having the mate Mitsuharu Misawa "gift him" the roaring elbow, which Hero used even in WWE as a finish.

    When Hero was signed in 2012, it seemed like just a matter of time before he joined Punk, Bryan and others on the main roster, but for some reason - whether it be politics or mistakes made, he never made it to the main roster. I don't even believe he was sent on the road for dark matches, which boggled my mind. His work in the ring was good. He had obviously, based on his last TV appearances, worked on his physique. He had a decent speaking ability and his charisma always sort of reminded me a quiet version of a young Mick Foley. As a heel, he portrayed a great d***. He knew all sorts of different styles and honestly, should have been training the talents he was instead training with in the Performance Center. All the elements were there, except, apparently, WWE didn't see it, so he begins a new chapter in his career, returning to the independents.

    Note from Mike: This release will go down, to me, as one of those moments in history where you wonder what the hell went wrong, and how WWE couldn't see the potential in someone just about every independent promotion in the world will be scrambling to book once they read this. This is absolutely going to be a case where this, long term, will be WWE's loss.

    Inoki is such a dumbass. Visits N. Korea without permission, may lose his job at the worst.

    The steering committee also said it will submit a resolution to the full Upper House to seek punishment for member Antonio Inoki for visiting North Korea without the chamber’s permission.

    If the resolution is passed in a plenary session next week as expected, the chamber’s Political Ethics Committee will decide the specific punishment.

    It has been 61 years since a resolution seeking punishment has been passed in the Upper House.

    The ethics committee can slap four types of punitive measures on a member: admonition, demand a public apology, prohibition of attending Diet sessions for a certain period, and expulsion.

    Inoki, a former pro wrestling star elected to the Upper House in July on the opposition Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party) ticket, visited North Korea and met with top officials. He returned to Tokyo via Beijing on Thursday.

    During his stay in the North, Inoki opened an office in Pyongyang that he says will promote sports-related cultural exchanges between the two countries.

    Inoki’s transgression is that he went there after the Upper House Steering Committee declined to approve the visit.

    He has faced criticism from within his own party. On Thursday, Nippon Ishin co-leader and Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto expressed concern that Pyongyang could use Inoki for its own propaganda purposes.
