David Finlay Bows To Crowd, Kisses NJPW Logo At New Beginning In Osaka

Finlay appears to bid farewell.

At NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka, there was a singles match between David Finlay and Callum Newman. Newman bested Finlay in the match.

After the bout, an emotional Finlay bowed to the crowd. He then hugged NJPW booker Gedo. As Finlay was on his way out of the camera’s view, he kissed the NJPW logo and said ‘thank you.’

Finlay then went on to post a picture of himself and the War Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney).

“Thank you” @THEdavidfinlay
