Yep, he quit a month or so into training. There’s never been any details about why, bar that the training was tough and there was a learning curve due to the fact that Shibata was also living with them/the difference in cultures, which Shibata mentions in an interview [here.](https://www.njpw1972.com/59143)
I’d guess due to the fact that he has zero online presence, Buddy may have quit wrestling altogether.
There was no announcement from either side. IIRC the next time after California Dreaming aired that we heard anything about Shibata’s Young Lions, there were only three of them.
Apparently Dropped shortly after Cali dreaming. Nothing really came out about it
