NJPW - News, Results & Sonstiges

[C4rnifex]

Während der PK in Kobe kam es zu einem "ungewollten" Doppelinterview .. die Betreffenden: BUSHI und der eigentlich gewollte Naito.
(Übersetztung durch Chris Charlton / Twitter @reasonjp)

Naito: "Only one chair here? Bushi wants an interview ... Did you not took notes yesterday? Bushi said he wanted to give an interview. I told you that. I never said *I* wanted to give an interview - this is Bushi's Pk. I'm just tagging along. That is what I figured it was."

BUSHI's Gedanken über den IWGP Jr. Titel, die Jr. Division und zukünftige Gegner

BUSHI: "First of all, when I saw the NJPW Twitter .. it said this was a Naito PK. I thought: 'huh, why isn't my name here?'. I took the IWGP Jr. title in the main event of a big card in Ota and you don't get a PK ready for me? A champion expects better treatment. I thought and worked hard to challenge for this belt and won it. It was my second challenge but the first time winning. Of course I'm very happy. This last series, the representatives of main NJ-juniors were Taguchi & KUSHIDA .. that's it. So Kushida might deserves a rematch. Is there nobody else who wants this belt? Maybe nobody wants to fight me .. but if Kushida is the only one to throw his hat in the ring then it leaves me with very few options. I think when Kushida was the champion, he overlooked me as a challenger. So I really want to choose a worthy challenger. There are a lot of people I have in mind, a lot of great juniors. There was a lot of great talent in the "Super-J Cup" just recently. If out of all them, only Kushida steps forward, that is a real shame. Nobody wants to wrestle me. .. There is also no Junior title match at KOPW - I have to think of the stature of the belt. (Bushi fragt nach einem Titelregentschaftslimit - max. ein halbes Jahr .. danach ist er vakant) Before then it's on my say so. I'm not saying I'll wait that long but I'll take as long as I need to think of a good challenger. This belt was a goal of mine, so I want to wear it, for now."

Naito: "Before Kobe happened I knew what the result would be. So I formed a plan. What next, what about next year, what about the dome. But this is Bushi's PK. If you want to hear my thoughts, you have more than enough opportunity. .. We will talk, but for now, it's as I said in the ring."

Und dann offenbarte Naito doch den ein oder anderen Einblick

"I never said I wanted this belt. But when I looked at the list of prior champions .. La Sombra's name leapt out and I thought: 'ah he had this before, huh'. One year ago at Kobe, that was the first time I ever said the word 'pareja' and there was nos LIdJ, just me. Lots can happen in one year. Do you know what it means when we raise our fists, Tokyo Sports? It means we might be separated by promotion or country, but we are united in heart as Los Ingobernables. I see that in the belt, the connection to La Sombra. Gratitude to my teammates."

Seine 'Wunschgegner' - Tokyo Dome Event und Fan Votes?

Naito: "Well there's lots of people out there .. but it reminds me, when I was heavyweight champion, the company never listened to my requests. So we're all the company's toys. They'll just prepare a challenger for us. But there is nobody more in the zone than me right now. So anybody willing to try me, it'll be great. Not that I have any say at all. Anyone! Kanemitsu - he'd be fine. i never wanted the belt, all I said is belts on LIdJ look cool. But it is not like I actively don't want it. It called to me, I took it, that is fine. If EVIL or SANADA said they wanted this, then I'd be delighted to fight them for it. It'd be fresh. I'm not saying I want a LIdJ civil war, but for a sense of pride .. maybe that's not right. But look, Bushi wanted that belt and now he has that sence of accomplishment. But for him. like me, he probably has new goals now. What am I going to do about Tokyo Dome? There's is no card announced for WK yet. So there is no need to go talking about some kind of vote. But there is no rule that says you have to defend your title at the Dome. I don't necessarily have to. Should there be a fan vote or not? Should there even be a title match or not? If there were who would the oppenent be? Speculate, have fun. I will answer you, the time will come. But before then? .. Tranquilo .. Assen na yo!"

- Michael Elgin zog sich während KOPW eine Augenverletzung zu und wurde von der "Power Struggle"-Card gestrichen.
Ursprünglich war das Rematch um den IC-Title gegen Naito geplant, das wurde nun geändert. Jay Lethal ersetzt dabei Elgin.
Lethal konnte bei der ROH Show "All Star Extravaganza VIII" einen Sieg gegen Naito erlangen.

Elgin's Stellungsnahme:

- Für "Power Struggle" stehen schon die ersten Matches fest:

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs SANADA
NEVER Openweight Championship: Katsuyori Shibata © vs EVIL {Shibata wird auch noch ein Match gegen Shiozaki bei NOAH haben, der Titel steht dabei nicht auf dem Spiel}
IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship: BUSHI © vs KUSHIDA {Rematch}
IWGP Tag Team Championship: G.O.D. (Tonga & Loa) © vs CHAOS (YOSHI-HASHI & Ishii)
Finale des NJPW Jr. Tag Turnieres

- Wie 'nikkansports' berichtet, wurde Matt Sydal (ehem. Evan Bourne bei WWE) verhaftet, nachdem man bei ihm Cannabis finden konnte. {Das erklärt nicht nur seine 'Einreiseprobleme', sondern auch den neuen Tag Team Partner von Ricochet - David Finlay}
