WRESTLER COMMENT

Hiromu:
‘What I have to do, my destiny, what's going to happen next… I saw it all. I remembered! You helped me remember. This pain. HAHAHAHAHA!!! I remember what I have to do now.’

EVIL:
‘I'll say it again. I have plenty, plenty more ways to take down the superhero Kazuchika Okada. I showed in Osaka that I am stronger than him, and every night until Ryogoku I will show I'm a level beyond. And then there's the NEVER 6 man tag team championships. We have made those titles prestigious, we have given them value. And tonight was just a taste of what we’ll do in that title match. Remember! This is EVIL! EVERYTHING is EVIL! All of it- EVIL.’

Naito:
‘You know, I was really looking forward to finding out what Ishii had to say after our match in Nagoya the other day, but it was pretty disappointing in the end. He hasn't listened to what I said? “I didn't bother to listen to what the G1 Climax winner said at his press conference”. That was the level of electrifying promo he delivered. Look, I'm only defending this contract once. If I keep defending this thing, the value of the G1 Climax gets weaker every time. To be honest, I don't think there's any point in defending it at all. But if I have to do it, I'll do it once. And I named you, Ishii. I. Chose. You! But if you don't really want the contract, then I don't see the point in defending against you. You don't want it, then it can't be helped y’know? You beat me twice in a row, in the G1 and in LA, but whatever, I'll go into the main event of Wrestle Kingdom with those Ls on my record. Because nothing can challenge the fact that I won the G1. You don't wanna go, then fine, don't bother. Because the point is whether you really want that contract or not. I want to ask Ishii that, because if he doesn't want to bother, I'm not going to make him go through the effort. What's the point in that? But if he wants to do it, then I'll gladly take him on. Oh, and, is there no-one other than Ishii? Nobody’s putting their hands up? It's all good like this? Status quo, the way to go? Only, I did say, I'll only defend this once. I haven't heard of anyone stepping up. If there's something you want to say and you keep it under your hat, nobody will hear you. Well, I hope from the bottom of my heart that Ishii listens to what I had to say today. I really do. Hasta luego! See you Saturday. Adios!’


Okada:
‘EVIL, you’re looking good. This is going to be fun. More fun than the G1 in Osaka for sure. And the NEVER 6 man tag belts. EVIL, SANADA, BUSHI, you LIJ guys look like you're having fun. But when I was in Mexico, trips matches were my bread and butter. I'll teach you how to wrestle 6 man tag matches.’

Ishii:
‘I'm not bothered? Ishii isn't bothered? Just like always, you make me laugh. My name's been the one constantly coming out your mouth. This is the match you wanted. If it's not decided, leave it that way, say you don't have anything to say about me. But you run your mouth, you get this match made, and now this mess. Typical. You talk about nobody else wanting to step up and face you, two days into this tour? You wanna know why? It's because all your crap, all your speeches, your song and dance, the things you do to make the fans pretend to like you, it doesn't get through to us wrestlers. Just like when he won the G1! Nobody in the back really cared.  Anyway, no point going on about it. It's settled. I accept your challenge! But know this- your road to the Tokyo Dome main event ran right of a cliff the moment you mentioned my name.’
