Don Callis became a part of New Japan in 2017 and helped build the brand in America helping in ways that many people don’t realize. Perhaps it’s the reason he’s known as “The Invisible Hand.”
Now these days, it seems like Callis is more focused on his duties with IMPACT Wrestling in addition to his new role as the on-air manager/advisor for Kenny Omega on both Impact and All Elite Wrestling. His long time relationship with Omega is now playing out on television and it’s managed to become one of the most intriguing angles on television right now, and it seems to be one of the reasons Callis seems to be done with New Japan right now. Callis was recently a guest on Sitting Ringside with David Penzer and the two talked about his current relationship with NJPW, where he said there’s nothing left for him to do there.
“I see my business with New Japan as being done. When I went into New Japan in 2017, they were on one level. When I booked Jericho vs. Omega at the Tokyo Dome, their entire business model changed. Their revenue went up exponentially.” “They’ve been riding the Don Callis effect ever since. There is nothing left for me to do in New Japan. Anything I could do in New Japan now would pale in comparison to the game-changing nature that I did three years ago. I have zero interest.”
Callis has used the storyline to say his only reason for working with New Japan was to work with Kenny Omega. And while many people continue to remained tuned in and thinking they know what’s coming next, Don Callis may have plenty of things in motion to surprise us all.
