(NOAH) POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: STAR NAVIGATION 2022 (Korakuen Hall Night 2, Wednesday 8th June)

HIDEKI SUZUKI & KAZUYUKI FUJITA

SUZUKI (to FUJITA): Even though it's the first match, I'm going to make a comment. 

FUJITA: Eh? You have comments? I don't know. Step by step. Thank you. Ask him. 

FUJITA leaves. 

Q: It's been a long time since you tagged? 

SUZUKI: Like that in the first match, only he uses a contemporary to come out. I don't feel like restarting. Even now he doesn't thank me for it. I think I did not only my best (in accepting the opponents), and I want to say what it is. 

Q: What about Inamura and Okada, who you fought? 

SUZUKI: I told them in the ring, that neither I or Fujita know Fujita, and he has already started matches once in Japan. I don't really like the fact that he looks like a young man who is trying his hardest to do a good job. Everyone. The costumes have changed, for example Inamura and Okada have changed, and Inamura has changed his entry theme. More. I want to say, do more. 

Q: Did the feeling of the young people change during the match?

SUZUKI: I think Okada has changed a little, but I don't need that, it's not limited to them. Like I said before, we don't even try to dominate by age or career. Right now, at this moment, I think this is a ring where strong guys will win, and I am fighting here. Because they are strong. There may be a big match for them next, but if you feel that you are a young person who is doing his best, then we will fight again. 

PERROS DEL MAL DE JAPON

(NOSAWA Rongai, Eita & Kotaro Suzuki)

NOSAWA: It's not enough.

EITA: It took a little too long. 

NOSAWA: At least yesterday's kick is still working. But (Eita) it's your belt? It's not relevant to me. Do it your own way with Noah's guys. 

HAJIME OHARA

"It's exactly like I said in the ring, HAYATA, the next challenger is me. Let me go next. And HAYATA, I will beat you and wrap my belt. That's all."

HAYATA

"Anyone who wants this belt, come. Like I said, I will accept. Ohara, easy victory. No losing factor. Recruitment of the next next challenger" 

TIMOTHY THATCHER

"I won with The Fujiwara Armbar for two days in a row. Wrestling is like life for me. Life has it's difficulties, sometimes you may want to give up, but don't let it happen. I made the opponent give up in wrestling, I had to drive him to the point where he couldn't help but tap. I have been successful for two days in a row, and I think Taniguchi showed good fighting spirit, but it wasn't enough. So I was able to make him tap". 

KENOH

"HEY! Daisuke Sasaki! What? You didn't come today? It figures, asshole is a member of the school fete wrestlers? Take a look. The one with the long black hair didn't come, but the bald one did? Why didn't you asshole turn up? I am dying for electricity and voltage, but I didn't get it. Will you do it? Give me voltage, electricity and current? Was it your plan to cause confusion? It didn't work. Besides, you didn't come today, so it's messed up. You're such a slippery wrestler, and so I will fight you on June 12th and crush you and all those DDT assholes. AND, SANSHIRO TAKAGI! Like I said in some net news last year, "I am aiming to be number one in the industry"...Do you think New Japan is no longer an enemy? What's that comment? STOP saying that before The CyberFight Festival. Our morale is dropping! You asshole might not be aiming for number one in the industry, but I am aiming and Noah is aiming! Is that okay? The morale of Cyber Fight Festival, and all you fuckers, and our morale is completely different! Okay! Win or lose, you can already see it. We will win everything, and grab the place of number one of the industry! And DDT is already dissolved."

JUN AKIYAMA

AKIYAMA: I came to Noah for the first time in a long time, but everyone has changed. Everything has changed. I'm thinking that I think I'm taking a new step.

Q: You had a verbal battle with Kenoh and Nakajima, but what did you feel?

AKIYAMA: Well, the Director of The Public Relations Department, is still as as to talk as ever. Sasaki hasn't come today, so he doesn't matter, but don't talk about him. You understand, Katsuhiko, that's why I came today. Also, I am worried about Kotoge. That's all. But, he's okay because is is always having title matches. On the 12th, it won't just be me, both Endo and Higuchi will fight in the ring with what was missing today. That's okay, isn it? 

Q: Did you get frustrated on the microphone? 

AKIYAMA: That's right. Well, it can be the enemies den and of course the customers are Noah fans. But, all we have to do is spit out all that frustration in the ring. 

TETSUYA ENDO, KAZUSADA HIGUCHI, YUYA TAKASHIKA & TOUI KOJIMA 

*Akiyama instigates them to speak

ENDO: Hey, Noah's rude wrestler! The KO-D champion himself came to greet you. Katsuhiko Nakajima, our aim if your neck, you are just a substitute for Naomichi Marufuji!

HIGUCHI: Well, it figures I was frowning. We will defeat Noah as DDT. Make no mistake, I am looking forward to the 12th. 

TAKASHIKA: Myself and Kojima will compete against Noah's youngsters at CyberFight, and we will prove that the techniques taught by Akiyama, Endo and Okada are the right ones and amazing ones. 

KOJIMA: There have been various joint practices, but we will just win at the CyberFight Festival, and Takashika and I will win the first match. 

ENDO: He said that DDT was a school fete. I'm sorry, what? That asshole is a pro wrestler, right? Didn't the orange seats stand out? Hey, if you are a professional, then try filling ALL the seats

Q: How did you feel when you actually went up to the ring?

ENDO: How did I feel? No matter what we felt, we just came to do promotional activities. Isn't that Kenoh? Because he can't be relied on, the KO-D Indiscriminate Champion himself went to do promotional activities. I didn't feel anything. It was only bragging. It figures, it's an old method, terror politics. It's all about glaring at each other. 

Q: Endo, you were called "a suckerfish"

ENDO: "Suckerfish" is such a worn out example. As a professional, I didn't really want him to use it. I wanted him to compare me to my favorite stag beetle. Lack of research. 

Q: Higuchi, you were called a "washed up sumo wrestler"?

HIGUCHI: Well, that is troublesome. I have been told that a lot, but it doesn't matter. On the 12th we will get the results in the ring. 

ENDO: Alright, pleasantries are over. I'm going home. 

THE NOAH JUNIOR REGULARS

(Daisuke Harada, Atsushi Kotoge & YO-HEY)

HARADA: Caught it on one shot. We got the Open The TriangleGate belt. And so with this belt, we are steadily increasing the hype both inside and outside of the Noah Juniors, more and more YO-with our pro wrestling...

YO-HEY: Being ourselves!

HARADA: Being ourselves! Let's go!

KOTOGE: I am glad that the three of us won it. The belt captured by the team and by our strength is the best.

HARADA: Above all, it's YO-HEY. Tell! 

YO-HEY: No way! No way I belong to Noah and this is DragonGate's Open The Triangle Gate belt. I never thought that the day when I could actually wear this belt would come. I'm really happy. Of course, I am happy and thankful for a Noah belt, but this is different. This is a belt with a special feeling. Truly, there is no shame in this DragonGate Open The Triangle Gate belt. I want to raise it strongly like us. Thank you. No sweat, no sweat, I look forward to working with you. 

HARADA: Next is Perros. It's been a long time since we crossed paths. No matter who we are against or if Perros are the opponents, we will fight a great fight and increase the value of this belt. The Noah Juniors will be made by us. Let's go!

SEIKI YOSHIOKA

"What the hell! I can't do this with STINGER anymore. I'll go it alone!"

YUYA SUSUMU

"What did he say? He's going to go it alone? Is that his answer? What about the tag with me? Are you leaving STINGER?! If you do it, I won't forgive you!"

PERROS DEL MAL DE JAPON

(NOSAWA Rongai, Eita & Kotaro Suzuki)

NOSAWA: It's going to be easier to take it back. Well (Eita), this belt is yours isn't it DragonGate's. It is an important belt for me.

KOTARO: Oh!

EITA: You've changed.

NOSAWA: That's all. 

EITA: I'm changing my mind. Is that okay? I'm not going to do it. That's our line. The Regular Army are not suitable. 

SATOSHI KOJIMA

"Shiozaki, what are you going to do? Today is the last pre match before the championship. So, do you know what it means to win? Do you know what it means to be pinned directly? Did you cut corners even a little, or did you come at me with all your might and still lose to me today? Anything is fine. But if you came at all your might, I'm stronger. Nothing more. What will you do, Shiozaki? Checkmate? One step away from victory? I am sure to be the GHC Champion. Grand slam? That not the case, I am doing this for Satoshi Kojima. New Japan? Third Generation? I can be cocky about various things, but as Satoshi Kojima, I bear this name with me."

GO SHIOZAKI

(Holds up the belt as he wanders around)

"I will never give this..."
