The recent incident brought another big change to All Japan.

Legenday referee Kyohei Wada, who had been refereeing for the promotion since 1974, held a press conference on 2011/06/21 to announce his departure from the company he worked for almost 40 years.

In fact, he was already released as a company executive back in 2009/4, and since 2010/4, he had been working for All Japan as a freelancer.

He answers to the interview by Tokyo Sports regarding the incident, and the promotion didn't like it.

He received a phone call from All Japan president Keiji Mutoh on 6/6, who asked him, "Kyohei-san, you know what this whole thing means, right?"

Wada responded, "You can make a public apology. That should be it."

Mutoh then said, "that's not the point! I will resign tomorrow, so please leave after (6/19 card at) Ryogoku!"

Wada's press conference to announce his departure was held at a hotel (but not at All Japan office). There hasn't been any announced made by the promotion as of now.
