Hiromu:
‘Meaow meaow meaow (Hiromu sits and poses his dolls like cats) meaow! Hissssss! Ahhhhh, I’m happy like a cat with the cream. That's how great a challenger I have. Everyone's excited, right? Thrilled to bits. Like a cat. A cute little cat. A kitty. Oh, I'm an excited kitty! And I only hope I get even more, more! More! MORE!! MORE!!! Excited still.’

* SANADA, BUSHI neglected to comment.


Yoshi Tatsu:
‘Hey, Taguchi, I saw your interview yesterday. The hell you talking about, Negro Casas?’

Taguchi:
‘You're trying to be Negro Casas, right?’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘I am *paying homage* to Hiroshi Mikami (aka Japanese famous actor)’

Taguchi:
‘You what?’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘Any way you cut it, I clearly look like Hiroshi Mikami.’

Taguchi:
‘You don't look a damn bit like Hiroshi Mikami. The TV star Hiroshi Mikami, right?’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘Look, whatever. Point is, we’ve lost two matches in a row now. And it's clearly down to poor coaching.’

Taguchi:
‘What the hell?’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘It's all bad direction. You can’t coach this team. You're leeching off the players’

Taguchi:
‘You're the one with the goofy signals.’

Ricochet:
‘Sorry, it was my fault.’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘No. it wasn't your fault.’

Ricochet:
‘I’ll do better next time.’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘It's the coach. He lays it on too thick. If we lose, it's not the fault of the players. It's on the leadership.’

Taguchi:
‘I should be mad at you here!’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘Hey, you're so good, make me a main eventer!’

Taguchi:
‘That's on me? “Main eventer”?’

Yoshi Tatsu:
‘Just try it. I'm not joking! If you're such an expert leader, I should be a main eventer!’
(Tatsu leaves)

Taguchi:
‘Make *him*…?’

Ricochet:
‘Don't worry, no problem.’

Taguchi:
‘Defending the belts, no problem, absolutely. But making him a main eventer? If that's what I have to do, that's what I have to do.’

--Did you not teach YoshiTatsu the proper hand signals?

Taguchi:
‘I’ll give him the pamphlet.’

--So you didn't understand what he was doing?

Taguchi:
‘Right, no idea. Well, at the end of the day, he isn't going to main event during this tour. But I’ll do what I can. When the boys ask something of their coach, the coach has to step up. The whole team has to beat the LIJ side. It'll be a big deal to get to two defences. The lads, we’re a lightning rod. A rod of inspiration. He's needed a good rod for a long time, lacked guidance from when he was younger. We’ll be the rod he needs. He’ll be a main eventer.’
