Next on stage were All Japan Pro Wrestlers Kento Miyahara, Suwama, Yuma Aoyagi, NOAH (Kongo) Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima, and Manabu Soya, who will participate in the AJPW vs NOAH 6-man tag match. What do each player think regarding this card, where fate is intricately intertwined?
[Player comment]
Manabu Soya
“This is Manabu Soya from Pro Wrestling Noah. This time, it will be one of Keiji Mutoh’s retirement matches, but this will be a match between NOAH and All Japan Pro Wrestling, so I want to crush him with all my might. Opponents, all-Japan pro wrestling hodgepodge.It’s not the same team, and one of them is fiddling with his phone.It’s all crazy guys.Especially the red guy, the red guy with the same head as me.Isn’t he a little quiet?Usually If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more violent? Well, it’s changed.
Katsuhiko Nakajima
“Since this is Mr. Mutoh’s retirement match, I decided to make a card. I am surprised myself, but I think it will be the last match that Keiji Mutoh connected me to. A nostalgic opponent. It’s my first opponent.I think it’s going to be a match that looks like something will happen, and among them, we Kongo, yes, we want to deliver the ‘best’ match.”
boxing champion
“Looking at the opponents, the corps, the units, they’re disjointed. But that doesn’t matter, does it matter? Is it a corps of such a small organization? The units are different? It doesn’t matter. This is NOAH vs. All Japan. It’s a showdown!The biggest night in Japan Pro Wrestling history, NOAH vs. All Japan.We’re going to beat All Japan Pro Wrestling and crush all Japan Pro Wrestling that isn’t crazy with little gears.Well, Temera is the top of All Japan. I admit, we have Triple Crown Champions, World Tag Team Champions, and even directors.
Yuma Aoyagi
“Good evening to all Pro Wrestling Noah fans. I’m Yuma Aoyagi, All Japan Pro Wrestling World Tag Team Champion. I’m really looking forward to participating in Keiji Mutoh’s retirement match on February 21st. NOAH fans. Everyone, I would like to convey the charm of All Japan Pro Wrestling to all the All Japan Pro Wrestling fans who have not seen it yet, so please do your best.”
Suwama player
“I’m Suwama from VOODOO MURDERS. Simply put, I’m standing here because I want to enjoy the fight once morest Pro Wrestling Noah. There are a few guys out there, but it would be bad if they did it all of a sudden, so I think we should wait and see.Anyway, what kind of match will it be on the day?
Kento Miyahara
“This is Kento Miyahara from All Japan Pro Wrestling. On February 21st, Kento Miyahara and Katsuhiko Nakajima will meet once more on the ring at Tokyo Dome.
[Q&A below]
——I would like to ask Mr. Miyahara. You didn’t say much, “I will meet Katsuhiko Nakajima once more.
Kento Miyahara
“What are you trying to say? I don’t understand your question.”
——Does it mean that you don’t want to talk too much regarding your feelings for Nakajima?
Kento Miyahara
“… how regarding that?”
——Katsuhiko Nakajima, what kind of impression do you have of the current Miyahara?
Katsuhiko Nakajima
“Well, he’s a champion, and he’s been on the front lines ever since he went to Kensuke’s office in All Japan. I think he’s one of the most reliable players in All Japan. You don’t want to ask me, do you?”
——If I might ask both players…
Katsuhiko Nakajima
“Is that so?”
——Miyahara, do you have any thoughts following hearing Nakajima’s comments?
*No comment from Miyahara
——Kenoh made a provocative comment saying, “If you destroy All Japan, you can pick it up.” How do you feel regarding that?
Kento Miyahara
“I used to be in Pro Wrestling Noah a long time ago, so I think I know this organization well. I see him as a player, so I think he is a player who brings a very new culture to this NOAH.Kenoh gives me that kind of impression.A person who has introduced a new culture to this NOAH, NOAH. I feel like he’s a player who’s trying to liven things up, so what he just said doesn’t really resonate with me.”
——Mr. Miyahara, the triple crown champion, has a defense match coming up.
Kento Miyahara
“For me, in this match, the reunion of Kento Miyahara and Katsuhiko Nakajima, and one more thing. To all the pro wrestling fans who came to see the superstar Keiji Muto, who used to watch pro wrestling, Ken Miyahara. I’m going to show off Doo to my heart’s content and steal it all away.
——What do you think regarding the retirement of Keiji Muto, with whom Suwama has a deep connection, and how do you plan to play the match?
Suwama player
“Hmm, why am I not your opponent in the retirement match? Don’t run away. That’s all I can think regarding. It’s very disappointing. I was thinking of giving him another slap, but the only way to get frustrated is to hit the opponent. hey”
——Soya said that he has become quieter and has changed.
Suwama player
“Well, well… is that okay? Do it all of a sudden. It’s going to be a big deal, isn’t it? If you act violently (pointing to Aoyagi), this kind of junior will laugh and make a fool of you, (pointing to Miyahara) There are people who say I’m stupid, next to me.It can’t be that simple.But if you fight, I’ll do it too.I have that one too.So it’s funny isn’t it? I’m looking for something like, “What do you think following hearing this?”
——I think you have some concerns regarding teamwork, but how do you feel regarding that?
Suwama player
“Frankly speaking, there is no teamwork. When Kento Miyahara entered (into the conference hall), it felt like I had hives, really. I have an opponent named Noah. That’s what I’m looking forward to this time.”
——Kenoh, do you have any thoughts following hearing Suwama’s comments?
boxing champion
“Beyond the boringness, it was really funny. Having him talk for such a long time in an enka tone, beyond the boringness, it’s really funny. This, Tokyo Dome, has no choice but to crush this guy. Suwama, the director. I’ll destroy it, and I’ll destroy All Japan Pro-Wrestling itself… I’ll say it once more, you three, I’ll pick you up at NOAH, just like Jake Lee!”
——Aoyagi, what do you think regarding the part once morest NOAH?
Yuma Aoyagi
“I don’t know how it is. I don’t quite understand the competition in professional wrestling. What do you say? I once saw NOAH’s press conference, and I was competing in front of the desk. I don’t like that kind of pain, do I? I don’t particularly have a sense of rivalry, or rivalry, but isn’t there such a hot thing, a rivalry? It is the impression of
