Naito: (Enter the press area, but kicks over the chair and speaks by standing up)
‘Michael Elgin is definite to say that he is a very strong wrestler. But, sadly it has proven that more powerful wrestler is me! He has lost four times against me in a singles match. I’m very excited to see what kind of face he brings to me the next time I face him in a ring. And, matches are hosted in Tokyo, Okinawa, and many other places but the season of “New Japan Cup” is finally here. I am the champion from last year, so you will definitely see me make an entry to the “New Japan Cup.” If they want to liven up the event, who else to choose but for me! I’m gonna announce it right here as a candidate for the “New Japan Cup” But, no matter what I say, New Japan Pro-Wrestling won’t hear me out. But this is my time to speak, and I can say whatever I want. I will say again, right here right now, that I candidate myself to the entry of “New Japan Cup.” We had many problems last year, so I think some form of changes should take place in “New Japan Cup.” So again, I propose a brand new system. What kind of proposal? I will explain it at the right time and the right place. For now, tranquilo!. I fought every battle in the series. I haven’t taken a holiday. I’m cansado, ocupado So I’m heading home. Please let me have a moment to speak out, and I’ll propose something interesting. So, Hasta luego, Adios!’

Elgin:
‘I don’t care what he said, I’m not interested. What I wanna say is that I came out tonight to teach him about respect. For that, I had to crash him down with everything about him. Also, I was planning to leave Osaka as an Intercontinental champion. Naito-! The luck was on your side tonight. When you broke my eye bone, you robbed my chance of becoming the champion. Last October, I was in a lost place. What you did has ruined my plan. I had to wait so long to get recovered. During those time, so many people have said so many things to me. Only a fact about you crushing me was left on the table. I came to the ring bring the war to you with all the painful memory. The next time, I will tear you apart! And teach you the real meaning of the word, respect. Prepare yourself for greater war!'
