BREAKING: Jay White to quit; Ibushi, SANADA go face to face after WRESTLE KINGDOM 15 

Jay is criminally underrated. He went through all 5 stages of grief in what might just be the best promo I've ever seen.

"You're not getting Switchblade Jay White, you're getting Jamie." Line of the year....my goodness

Bro, this is Hollywood level acting. Respect Mr White.

Ibushi: wins double gold Jay White: hold my beer while I cut this god tier promo

2021 Oscars nominee: Jay White

Jay White's promo is one of the greatest promos in pro wrestling.

You can barely count those who can match Jay's mic skills. What a professional.

Damn, that was quite a tragic villain esque type of promo by Jay White! Now I get his character, why he does things the way he does. It's for recognition and approval. He has done all of this stuff, like winning all of the major single belts, and having a winning record against the big NJPW stars, he was never respected. Gave everything and proved that he is among the best in the world. Got swallowed by the abyss and suffered on his own greatness because he didn't get the love in return. He is the pretty much what Ibushi would look like if he was corrupted, that's why he is the perfect rival for Ibushi. If he is really leaving (which I don't think he will), he is so getting mauled by the Bullet club

Jay White is the complete package. He main evented the Tokyo Dome and MSG, no one can take that away from him. Couple of years back when he made his debut against Tanahashi at WK, we were all skeptical of his early push, and rightfully so. But incredible work from him to go from that green, to arguably the most well-rounded wrestler in the world. Gedo got it right here.

First time seeing Jay White truly effected by a loss really adds to the character. Really curious about his character direction going forward!

i never thought i would ever in a million years feel bad for Jay White, but damn that promo did the trick

Jay white is gold that promo was literally raw emotion.

"I know it, in here... in here. And it's not enough?" gasping for air, body in pure agony at every hair, about to vomit with overwork and for what? Empty handed. I felt every ounce of his feeling in this promo like it was my own

Jay White is so good wtf

What a promo by White.

This is probably the best promo work I have ever seen. Kudos to Jay White! This guy is destined for greatness.

I'm seeing a redemption arc building somewhere for Jay.

Shakespearean Switchblade. That promo had turmoil, reflection, accusation, comedy and a smidgen of self-doubt balled into one. I kept thinking, don’t cry, don’t cry…and that was to him! Epic. ‘Jamie’ spoke from the heart when he touched on his family, the hard work he put in the last 7 years. With the pandemic going on, he simply misses his girlfriend, family, pets, Florida…it’s a lonely time even for ‘Switchblade’. Maybe he’ll go down the route like his closet buddy Finlay, and settle down a bit. NJPW has treated him very well, rewarding his career quicker than any other dojo wrestler it seems. And deservedly so. Whatever the hell he masterminds next, we’ll be watching. In the meantime, give the guy an Oscar.

Jay is amazing. He genuinely looks desperate here. Awesome promo after that match for the ages. Kudos to the switchblade and the golden star

Jay snaps, blames society and turns into The Jayker.

Probably the greatest promo I've ever seen, White is such a great talent

Jay White just gave the greatest backstage interview of his career. Wow.

it´s been only 5 days into 2021 and we already have the promo of the year

Ibushi's only mission is More Pro Wrestling for the People, for the whole world. He truly is the new Tanahashi.

Jay White with the promo for the ages there. Love the passion. Breathe with the Switchblade.

11:28 Jay white is now BROKEN

ジェイには辞めないでほしい… 見てる人は見てるし、沢山の人がジェイの2冠姿を見たいと思ってる。 もうとっくにnew eraは来てるよ。

Goosebumps through that whole promo. Wether it be in New Japan or elsewhere, I will continue to follow his career. I stopped watching NJPW since the Elite left but I watched wrestle kingdom last night and damn I’ve been missing out on Jay White

If he's not leaving for real, then he should take a break and come back stronger and make 2021 truly the Year of the Switchblade.

Poor jay, the only one who cares for him now is the chair lady

One of the best PPVs I’ve seen in sometime both days were awesome

First things first,, I WANT TO THANK NJPW & ALL THE WRESTLERS WHO WERE PART OF 2 NIGHTS OF THIS EXTRAVAGANZA WITH ALL OF MY HEART!!!! we got 5 to 6 MOTY CONTENDERS.. what a shows,, what an awesome,, absolutely awesome main events!! Kota ,, deserved it!!! Switchblade is great, great!!! I hope he won't end up in wwe,, ...already waiting for next year's jan 4 & January 5...

Jay don't give up you're an amazing wrestler and you are wanted in new Japan! Take some time and come back stronger fighting!!

This is why I enjoy NJPW over any other wrestling fed. Great match and excellent promos. They did the company proud.

That Jay promo is so realistic, you can feel the sympathy toward him. He looks broken as hell and I bet he will return better than ever

not hating, but jay talking triggers more emotions than most of wwe´s whole shows these guys are on another level

Jay White is a fucking star! An absolute diamond of a wrestler who gave possibly the promo of the year already with the best acting blended with legit emotion and thoughts I have seen in a long time, the fact he just left the mic laying down, the frantic speaking, the way he plays with his wrist tape, absolutely stunning performance that genuinely reminded me of Heath Ledger's Joker, standing ovation for this man, ladies and gentlemen. Looks like lucky number 13 is going to belong to Mr Jay White on January 31st, the Switchblade is going to slice through all his competition to his next title

He just looks like he's on the verge of a psychotic break all the time and I love it

What a fantastic performance from Jay, that interview felt so believable but chilling and unsettling. Great work!

Jay is a gift to us all and im so glad people are now realizing

Shit during that promo . . . Jay was the realest guy in the room

If you watched this entire video, saw Jay pour out every fucking emotion known to man, woman and child and NOT just to see Ibushi after the win, the wrestling world as you know it is profoundly changed. Via Jay's post-match, Ibushi's win is nearly a byproduct. It is extreme, heartfelt, truthful, beautiful, pure, overwhelming, incredulous, inspiring and brings tears to the eyes of the receiver. For me, it was amplified because he's my favorite. I watched as he not only chose to articulate as SwirchBlade Jay White then express as Jamie the person behind the most gifted wrestler on this vibrant planet. His promos always compel me, however this one truly sold me. If he leaves NJPW he's taking me along metaphorically. I don't think he is, but what the word is has been provacative. No-one is as skilled or magnetic as Jay White is at bringing forth exceptional talent to the business of professional wrestling. No-one. Added proof is in the latest match and post-match. My estimation: Curtain to bell, bell to curtain. Talk about dominant and electrifying. What happens next is anyone's guess, yet no matter what is placed before him, it's guaranteed to take him and us to levels we've not known existed. Thank you Jay.

That was...incredible. The range he's showing right is putting him at a whole new level. I was always a fan of old-school tactics but this promo is just something else.

2.5 years and still in tears after watching this. poor Jay,, he is the perfect heel, yet the biggest babyface ever

Chair Lady: Let's go to the Empire, Jay.

ジェイまだまだこれからだろもっと新日本を掻き乱してくれ！頑張れ💪

Jay white is definitely someone you don’t want to let go of ,his promo,s are something else any manager any given day would jump on the opportunity to lead him down the ramp .

This is the promo of the year

"I'm not gonna do this anymore" quote of 2021...

This better be a work 😭 Jay is one of the pillars now.

We need this now

Ibushi did it. The madlad did it. Congratulations. The Ryu of NJPW has achieved victory.

Jay white with the fire promo !!

Look, I'm gonna say it. Jay White was never and still isn't simply a replacement for Kenny Omega. In my opinion, Jay is leagues above Kenny in promos and his ability to actually make me cheer for and against him. This promo was borderline difficult to watch, we have all been there. Where you wonder what the point of it all is, what all the hard work is actually for. It makes the heart break a little.

Shout out to chair girl helping a friend in need you a real one chair girl ✊✊

I love the desperation and sincerity of Jay White.

WOW.. Jay White.. has anyone grown into themselves and their character as he has... In and out of the Ring.. this guy is Money.. along with Will Osprey.. New Japan will be a must-watch for me for years to come...

That Jay White promo is FIRE. That may be impossible to top in 2021.

Kota deserves that title. Congratulations 🎉

Thank you for subtitles on this! Jay is amazing but I'm glad Ibushi is our champion. I can't wait for some nice big title defences (fingers crossed).

I'm pretty sure Kenny omega is happy for his lover being iwgp champ. I also feel bad Jay white didn't get the Win. Jay bust his ass throughout February 2019 thru the 2020 pemdmeic. Maybe next time.

Absolutely fantastic promo by Jay. That was some of the best heel work I have seen in a very, very long time. It's going to be so interesting to see what's going to follow up after this.

"If I can't do it for myself, then it's not worth doing anymore"

Man, Kota Ibushi is ripped, he's for sure come a long way

Jeeeesus............Jay White's promo was absolutely masterful. I was hooked from start to finish and I felt Jay's emotion and desperation. Like I have been watching wrestling since I was kid (born in 92) and Jay White's promo is one of the greatest promos of all time.....hands down. The sheer wealth of emotion, the body language, his motives/reasoning for everything he does......Gedo needs to go down as the greatest booker of all time and Jay needs a round of applause, dude is the best heel in the business and added another dimension of his character, a sympathetic edge but still retained his villainous edge. Kota Ibushi is how babyfaces should be booked, by having great determination and ambition, but not losing their sense of morals and integrity in order to achieve a higher level. A true hero is supposed to get even stronger, even when the whole world comes against the hero figure and the odds are stacked but never losing what makes him who he is and willing to go out on the shield, a lot like Captain America facing down Thanos and his legion in Avengers Endgame or Goku in DragonBall Z. The fact they kept Ibushi's character consistent is incredible. He never needed a group or to "go heel", all he needed was to be himself and push his limits to a new level. I swear NJPW is in its own league and universe when it comes to wrestling action, storylines, character development, etc. Everything matters, even tbe small stuff you wouldn't notice in NJPW. Dave Meltzer was right, watching any other promotion after watching NJPW makes you makes you feel sick to your stomach and the other promotions pale in comparison, its not even close.

Reading the captions at 21:29 made my eyes widen. That's an exciting statement

What an awesome beautiful stage that is,, nice colour combination!!!!!! I hope next year it be FULLY CROWDED....

This was absolutely fantastic.

God, Jay White is amazing. What a promo, incredible.

The Jay White promo "Absolute Brilliance". Best promo I've seen in years. Wonder if he rehearsed it or if it was complete improve.

While I will always Breathe With The Switchblade, Kota deserved this. He has been working hard to be something in NJPW. Jay will have his time again. He is a rarity. Both a great wrestler and excellent on the mic. I don't see him leaving. I see BC breaking apart and Jay going his own way or forming his own stable. Either way, this match and commentary after are why I watch NJPW.

Those are some SEXY Belts!

Within 5 days we not only had match of the year White vs Kota World and IC Title Moment of the Year Kota finally winning the World Title But also Promo of The Year Jay White Post Match Interview WK 15 Night 2 Well Done and Thank You New Japan Pro Wrestling

That was probably the best promo I have ever seen

Jay's acting felt so real, he's really talented. Btw i love seeing Mima Shimoda

One of the best promos I’ve ever seen. Jay White is the best

We currently live in an era where Kota Ibushi is the best in the East & Kenny Omega is the best in the West... What a time to be alive.

Unbelievable heart and performance from the wrestler of this decade Jay white

This was the greatest promo I ever seen.

This Jay White quitting thing is definitely a big angle for future. No way NJPW will lose a non Japanese star like him again, they already lost Omega.

最高の試合をしたよ

What an incredible promo by Jay White !! I felt that, hell, it made me want to root for him. I can't wait to see what he does next.

Imagine what he've been thru. White has went to CHAOS, nobody appreciates him. Even in BC, nobody appreciated him despite winning the championships... :(

this is one of the greatests promos i have ever seen jay is a master at pulling his emotions out this is on the level of the cane dewey promo

That moment when he said won't you help me, at the end, could be him also asking the fans. It's a cry for help. Bold prediction but I'm seeing his redemption arc come full circle and beating naito and ibushi at wrestle kingdom 17 for the undisputed iwgp heavyweight championship

Who said in NJPW there are no good promos? This man is freaking awesome :D

飯伏選手IWGP２冠戦防衛おめでとうございます！本当にカッコよかったです！次の試合も頑張ってください！応援します！

Jay attempting to hold on to the belts after the loss and having them ripped away by Red Shoes is one of the most powerful images in modern wrestling. The Fall Of King Switch. The once arrogant proud villain now demoralized, broken and having to depend on the same woman he berated for months in order to be helped to the back. Jay White is the Vegeta of wrestling. A proud prince defeated by the so called low class warrior. If there was a song to fit this situation, it would be Way To Fall from Metal Gear Solid 3.

Jay “Godkiller” White

Cant wait to see that SANADA match. Dude is fantastic in the ring

I can’t wait to see that match.

I'm going into work tomorrow, I'm cutting this promo, and I'm quitting my job! ✌️

That Jay white promo was amazing!!! I will always breathe with the Switchblade The kids a ⭐ and will be Champ again very soon

Ibushi deserves it! So glad he didn't sign with WWE as a cruiserweight! I was emotional with his win! Truly the new face of NJPW!

Amazing, incredible, mind blowing: words that are massive understatements to describe Jay's promo.

Nah nah Jay can’t leave.tomorrow he better say sike I’m not leaving

Holy shit, after YEARS of hating Jay; I just fell in love with him. WHAT A PROMO!!!!

Absolutely brilliant promo. They were right to strap a rocket to this guy. Best heel in the game flips the entire game on its head entirely. This is gonna be a fantastic story.

Im excited for this

Jay White is giving me ECW Cactus Jack vibes. (I assume that this is a storyline 😅)
