(NOAH) POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: SUNNY VOYAGE 2022 - Sunday July 10th, Fujisan Messe, Shizuoka


ANTHONY GREENE
"Today was my Japan debut. The most important thing is that I won my first victory in Noah, and it doesn't stop there. Next will be the ten person tag at the Nippon Budokan, North America vs Team Japan. This is a unique opportunity for me."

STALLION ROGERS
"Pro Wrestling Noah debut. I came to Japan to make my dream come true. I lost to Greene today, but I will prove myself to be the best wrestler in the world. The next match is at the Nippon Budokan, five on five with Japanese wrestlers. Please come to the venue"

GO SHIOZAKI
"This is it until the Nippon Budokan, right? I lost the GHC Heavyweight belt, but it is the N-1 next. Nakajima. Funaki. I will show you I am NOAH at the Budokan. I AM NOAH."

THE NOAH JUNIOR REGULARS
(Daisuke Harada & YO-HEY)

YO-HEY: First! There were a lot of things that I wasn't able to show Kongoh at all last time, but today! We won. Well, no matter what, rather than winning, we are back. Our boss! Daisuke Harada! From now on, we are the Regular Army Juniors, and no matter what is said we will rise steadily with our brightness and teamwork at full power. Please say something strongly. 
HARADA: I came back to the ring after a long time, and there are various things. Haoh is gone, which it figures is disappointing. Personally, I was more frustrated with myself because I could only watch the matches against Tadasuke, who banished Haoh, but the most disappointing thing is that Haoh can no longer wrestle in Noah. We will take over Haoh's part, and with his thoughts, we will fight with our pro wrestling more and more in the Noah Juniors. Next Saturday is the Nippon Budokan. Again, fight with Kongoh, and fight with Shuji Kondo. Today, is Shizuoka, the hometown of Shuji Kondo. Why isn't he here? Does he only emerge for big matches? 
YO-HEY: True
HARADA: We will use ourselves to ignite the Nippon Budokan from the first match, let's keep enlivening!
YO-HEY: Let's go!
HARADA: OK, I'm back
YO-HEY: Welcome back

AKITOSHI SAITO
"The Director* is headed to heaven, and I'm telling you it's after a lifetime of active duty. I think it's my first match since he has gone to heaven today. Even at the ceremony I could see everyone's face from the entrance, and I was very pleased with everyone's support. On behalf of The Director, thank you very much. I think we fought the match together today, and so don't forget Masashi Aoyagi! Thank you from us both."

*Masashi Aoyagi, Akitoshi Saito's teacher, who died this past week. He was part of Noah for the first fifteen years before retiring due to a motorcycle accident. Thereafter he wrestled sporadically, and returned to Noah one final time in 2020. He was known as "The Director" or "Director Aoyagi" as he ran a karate school.


KAITO KIYOMIYA

KIYOMIYA: Oh, I feel somehow out of my mind. This is really the last time, so I will bleed Mutoh dry. I want you to see it at the Nippon Budokan, how I can devour and go forward with Mutoh's love!
Q: Can you enjoy it without thinking of anything extra?
KIYOMIYA: I wonder what? I was able to bring out everything in my body and in my head, so I think I was able to spit it out rather than think about it. It feels really refreshing right now. 
Q: What was the reaction to the Shining Wizard?
KIYOMIYA: Oh, it's a great technique. I think it's a really great technique when I tried it. Thank you!


KOTARO SUZUKI
(He is covered in powder thanks to Yoshinari Ogawa)
"What can I say? Comedy?*"

*Kotaro's original line was "Chikki Show". The Chikki Show is a slapstick comedy starring a man with plastered white make up (like an elderly Geisha), dressed in a Kimono and with a Maiko wig. There is no equivalent in English. 


HIDEKI SUZUKI & TIMOTHY THATCHER

Q: Are you ahead of the game in the pre matches?
SUZUKI: My throat hurts. I had a lariat on centrifugal force. Well, I'm glad I have a partner who I think is so strong.
THATCHER: Let's talk about wrestling skills. We have many ways to beat you, pinfall, submission...our hands were raised today. The same will be true for The Budokan. We will be the GHC Heavyweight Tag Champions.


SEIKI YOSHIOKA
"How many times? 4th KO. Isn't this habit of jumping (and running off) progressing? But, that doesn't matter to me, no matter how you look at it, I'm aiming."


SATOSHI KOJIMA & KENOH

KOJIMA: The final pre match finished today. Kenoh said that Noah has no future, and even if I win, Noah has no future and with Satoshi Kojima as the champion, Noah's future will completely vanish. What does he base this future on? What? Age? Who decides? Answer that. If you can't see the future just by age, what you are saying is really crazy and it really doesn't make sense. Shouldn't you see that a 51 year old pro wrestler has a dream? I am watching it closely. I want to show a future for the people of my generation, the people who are working hard in all kinds of places. By showing Noah's future, I want to show a future to all people. Furthermore, doing squats, push ups, all kinds of things, I really understand physical strength. For pro wrestlers, physical strength is very important, and various weapons are important in battle. Both the power and the inside work, I have all the techniques, I don't think you can understand that I have overcome many things. To put it bluntly, even in the match with Shiozaki, we had a karaoke showdown at the end. Kenoh, if you have a sense of entertainment as a pro wrestler, you can use karaoke. Can you sing? You? Seriously, can you sing? Kenoh, you asshole, answer me.

KENOH appears

KENOH: HEY! Karaoke!? WHAT are you talking about?
KOJIMA: Hey, shut up! It's entertainment.
KENOH: Don't be stupid, pro wrestling is a fight! Can you get the belt by singing? 

KENOH attacks Kojima with an elbow and then some low kicks, knocking Kojima down.

KENOH: HEY! Can the belt be captured by singing? Can I become the GHC Heavyweight Champion if I sing about it? Don't fuck with me!

KOJIMA fights back

KOJIMA: Yeah, calm down! It's just a song! I said a song is important! If you are saying that pro wrestling is entertainment, then practice a song as much! If you can do anything, you must be a pro wrestler! I told you that you didn't have this enough, you stupid bastard!

KOJIMA leaves

KENOH: Don't fuck with me. I can see it in the Lion push-ups, but how is singing related to pro wrestling fights? Hey! Stop fucking around! Don't dirty the GHC! What is this? You're an old man who suddenly comes up to a group of relatives and says something strange. Who cares what the song is! Wait a minute, I feel sorry for the GHC Heavyweight with that kind of bad guy. Today is the end of the pre matches. Okay. That guy showed me Lion push ups, but singing, I definitely can't do. I will never sing a song, and I don't have to sing. The GHC Heavyweight Championship is approaching in another week. I can't stop. I am going to put my life on the line to take the GHC belt. I am going to take it back. New Japan! I am going to take Satoshi Kojima's GHC Heavyweight belt like I said in the ring just now. I climbed Mount Fuji last year. Mount Fuji, the view from the highest place in Japan, the view from the summit was so beautiful. Isn't it the same in pro wrestling? The view from the highest point in Japan should be insanely beautiful. Hey, Noah hasn't seen that view yet. I will lead Noah and show you that view. The view of the highest place in Japan in the pro wrestling world. I will put my life on the line to show you that view. First of all, on July 16th, at the Nippon Budokan, I will take New Japan Satoshi Kojima's belt. Hey, all you assholes watching this, Kenoh will become the GHC Heavyweight Champion, from now on, follow me!
