(Noah) Naomichi Marufuji on BattleMen (May 18th 2018)
About half an hour or so into the show, Naomichi Marufuji is introduced. He remarks that it has been a long time since he was on Battlemen ("long time no see")
Its easier if I summarize things in bullet points:
- Marufuji's theme starts to play in the background as his shortened bio appears onscreen.
- They serve exotic meat at Muscle Grill (kangaroo), and yes, the famous Shiranui Curry is also available
- Kaito Kiyomiya makes his brief speech at Power Hall (Marufuji couldn't be there)
- TAKAYAMANIA also discussed, Marufuji basically says he is honored to do it.
- Champions Carnival was fun
- Takao Omori mentioned (nothing much is really said about him though, especially not the fact that Misawa kicked him out of Noah).
- Jumbo Tsuruta memorial match, they talk briefly about him. Marufuji mentions the dojo, and his training there, and says he has much to thank him for.
- Marufuji can be heard muttering something after the cameras cut back to the studio after a segment, to which the presenter hurriedly talks loudly over afterwards.
- Notice, Marufuji's whirly watch, the face spins around each time he moves his arm
- They discuss the participants in Power Hall (and others)
- Marufuji says that Kai was a match "he felt", Yoshi was the hardest.
- Akiyama is coming to "Flight"
- Moment of reflection after talking about the fist bump that ended the bitterness between All Japan and Noah
- Seems emotional when seeing the All Japan footage*
- About All Japan, Marufuji says something like "it was somewhere I was as a wrestler"
NOTE: Anyone who watches puro a lot may have noticed the word "Senshu" being used after an athletes name (i.e. here Marufuji is addressed as "Marufuji-senshu" rather than "Marufuji-san".) "Senshu" is a honorific, and as its Marufuji's occupation (athlete), it is used after his name.
