(NOAH) Post match promos, 22nd May 2018 - Nagaoka

Hi69

Q: How do you look back on the match?

Hi69: Even though I won, I couldn't fight Tadasuke as much as I wanted. Well, it was a "Masao Inour Match". Aside from the belt defense of course, I have found another goal in Noah, to become a wrestler who surpasses Masao Inoue. Even if I teamed with him, it is my match, not his, and that was my goal.

Q: Although you have not taken the Junior Heavyweight, have you been thinking about it?

Hi69: Yes, thats right. The single is not totally hopeless, and I will try again many times. Minoru and I will have matches like champions, crush and defend.

Q: XX's costume?

Hi69: It will be changed soon...I know this is something I have said, but I have not thought about it much (laughs). I feel calm now, but it's certainly the case...its a difficult story. Costume (laughs) if someone will pay for it (laughs). That's about it.

Q: Your former partner is doing well with another promotion?

Hi69: Its wonderful as you all know, but I am planning to do more. I want to keep at it, but I do have feelings of regret. I feel it when I look back...

Q: Do you want to create another XX with Minoru?

HI69: That's right! It would be rude to everyone, and rude to Noah otherwise.

GO-KAI

Q: Although you were overwhelmed in the first match, you have won two consecutive victories?

SHIOZAKI: We won, but don't you think there is more? There is a part of me, the anxiety factor, that has not gone. However, we will stick to winning from here, and we will stand up no matter what. Kaito Kiyomiya's heart is filled with it, and he will rise up, even if it is finished. He is showing what our team is.

Q: In World Pavillion Kiyomiya won, today the match was decided by Shiozaki?

SHIOZAKI: I don't want to lose to them, and neither does Kaito Kiyomiya. (The next part doesn't translate well, but basically Shiozaki doesn't want to appear like an old senior to Kiyomiya).

Q: Kiyomiya, how do you feel about the victory today?

KIYOMIYA: We endured...we won. It is like returning to the tag league match, we can ride the wave.

Q: Noah has a theme of a generation change, the match at Korakuen Hall on the 29th May os "Sugiura vs Marufuji" for the GHC Heavyweight Championship?

SHIOZAKI: The belt does not depend on Sugiura vs Marufuji; I will always aim to have the best match of the day. I think that Sugiura vs Marufuji will be a great match, and I don't want to lose anything in the content of it. I will also defend the tag belt, and will be in that ring fighting.

KIYOMIYA: I don't want to lose either!
