Naito:
‘I said it in the ring, but it happened just like everybody predicted, right? Sorry to all the other guys, but everyone knew it'd pan out this way. Everyone is here to win. Tonight was Ryogoku but it's no different to any other league match. It was against Tanahashi? Who cares? It was another win. That's all. You could tell, just by watching the crowd, they were just waiting for me to win. Waiting to yell along with me. And on the 13th, in the final, they'll be yelling the loudest they have all summer- no, since Los Ingobernables de Japon was formed! Anyway, tomorrow I have a match. And Kenny, Okada, whoever, doesn't matter. See you right here tomorrow. Hasta manana- adios!’


Tanahashi:
‘I said it last year, but the end is just a beginning. Time to start over again.. every time you repeat something though, you get that bit sharper, that bit more polished. My daughter’s been studying English in junior high and learned a cool phrase: “Over and over again”.’
