Mohammed Yone vs Yuko Miyamoto

MIYAGI: What is your impression of Miyamoto?
YONE: I have been involved many times. I didn't think he would really be in the M'S Alliance! He is a skillful wrestler who has had a career. I think the opening match is important. Some people won't have seen pro wrestling, so it's going to be amazing from the first match. I think I like to get such a role. 
MIYAGI: How will you defeat him? 
YONE: There will be some very conspicuous parts. He reminds me of a fight I had with a delinquent a long time ago (laughs). 

Daisuke Harada, YO-HEY & Kinya Okada vs Haoh, Nioh & Tadasuke

MIYAGI: Tadasuke's betrayal was on the 10th August, and on the 22nd Shinkina he entered Kongoh. 
YONE: I'm looking forward to the match right from the start. Ah! Tadasuke, wow! That will be the highlight from the beginning. 
MIYAGI: There have been many betrayal's around Harada and YO-HEY
YONE: All wrestlers, I think, want to take that step. The image in RATELS was that they were led by Harada, rather than being good friends in the new circumstances they want to stand out, and everyone wants to make it understood that they want to be top. 
MIYAGI: Harada and YO-HEY were angry in Shinkiba
YONE: If Tadasuke changes his whole appearance, it will be like throwing oil on a fire. This is not a bad direction, and I want it to evolve into a good one. But many fans thought that the four of them were good together, and I think you can see them again someday. There is utterly no never in wrestling. But I am never going to hate this, Tadasuke and Harada! It's what I want to see!
MIYAGI: Kinya Okada, who can be said to have grown a lot during the TV match period online, is also included. 
YONE: He often gets compared to Inamura (of the same class), but I dislike that because its the end of the wrestler. To me, it is a battle that I don't care about, and I think "Strong, good". Okada and Inamura are completely different types, and I want them to keep running with this.

Kaito Kiyomiya, Shuhei Taniguchi* & Daiki Inaba vs Hideki Suzuki, NOSAWA Rongai & Kaz Hayashi

MIYAGI: What is your impression of Hideki Suzuki? 
YONE: Very good. He's strong. He doesn't need to brandish the sword, his strength is attractive to pull out anytime. As a wrestler, I think that way of fighting is cool. He is a wrestler that I love very much. 
MIYAGI: From your perspective, what is the method of The Sugiura Army? 
YONE: Inaba, I think it is okay to burst out more, you can't be seen to be holding back. I mean it might be difficult immediately after coming to Noah, but it doesn't make sense to come otherwise. 
MIYAGI: Kaz Hayashi and Inaba will be a fight between former W-1.
YONE: I don't want him to hesitate. I want him to say "I am Inaba, with Noah as my main battlefield."
MIYAGI: I hope it can be made a good combination 
YONE: It would be nice if the two of you** could get together online while drinking and sharing thoughts on wrestling. It is quite difficult to forge a partnership only in the ring, you can't do it unless your tag is a mental one. 

*Noah announced on the 28th that due to a fever (not Corona) Shuhei Taniguchi would be replaced in the match by Seiya Morohashi.
**Inaba and Kaito Kiyomiya


STINGER (HAYATA & Yoshinari Ogawa) vs FULL THROTTLE (Atsushi Kotoge & Hajime Ohara)

MIYAGI: Hajime Ohara, the protagonist of the match, is the image of Kultz in a local title match. 
YONE: It would be nice for Ohara to stand out and win the belt
MIYAGI: How do you like Ogawa and HAYATA? 
YONE: It's pretty intense. Ogawa teaches the young people before the match, but now there is HAYATA too, so if you practice your skills together then the combination during the match will work well, if it is determined it will be a force. 
MIYAGI: FULL THROTTLE is a bright unit
YONE: A bright match suits him (Kotoge), bit whatever he does it's important that he takes responsibility until the end. 
MIYAGI: What is the "Ogawa magic" as seen by Yone? 
YONE: When you have a match against Ogawa, it naturally becomes Ogawa's way. I get tired because it's just at Ogawa's pace. Being at his mercy, that is Ogawa's power and skill. But on the contrary, Ogawa may be at the mercy of a type like Kotoge. It may well be Kotoge who controls Ogawa!


Kotaro Suzuki vs Seiki Yoshioka

MIYAGI: This is also STINGER vs FULL THROTTLE. 
YONE: Kotaro is good. He has had a career, and he moves better than expected. His condition is good. 
MIYAGI: What is your impression of Seiki Yoshioka? 
YONE: I feel he is energetic, and vigor can be seen in both his speech and the match content. His technique is beautiful and accurate. 
MIYAGI: It is Kotaro though who knows all about the Noah juniors
YONE: The different between age and career has to be turned over. I think Yoshioka is on a roll now, so he has to pull out all his strength, so there is no point in doing something tricky here. 
MIYAGI: If Yoshioka wins, he will become champion in his first match 
YONE: I don't know, this could make Kultz a memorable place for him.


The M'S Alliance (Naomichi Marufuji, Masaaki Mochizuki, Great Muta and The Mystery M) vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Manabu Soya, Masa Kitamiya & Yoshiki Inamura)

MIYAGI: Who is this M? 
YONE: Who is that? There are many with the initials, M. (Looks at the YouTube comments) Mil Mascaras? That is a possibility. 
MIYAGI: The hints are the initial M, and someone who does not often perform
YONE (reading YouTube comments): Masakatsu Funaki, MAZADA...Junta Miyawaki's return match?! This is really annoying.
MIYAGI: Mushiking Terry is here! There are many M in the world of wrestling. This will also be the first contact between Kenoh and Mutoh. 
YONE: Kenoh! Yokohama was a great match, and the man is rising. He has been upgraded as a pro wrestler, and is rising to the top of the top. It's amazing, not everyone can be in that area. 
MIYAGI: Will it be a different Kenoh who comes into contact with Mutoh? 
YONE: Kenoh is a team player when he is with Kongoh, but when I saw that match, I thought he was a singles wrestler. That will be interesting as it unfolds. 
MIYAGI: By the way, getting away from the match for now, but the other day Akira Maeda joined The M'S Alliance 
YONE: Has he really joined? It is unique that Marufuji was too scared of Maeda to approach him.


GHC Heavyweight tag title match
AXIZ (Katsuhiko Nakajima & Go Shiozaki) vs The Sugiura Army (Takashi Sugiura & Kazushi Sakuraba)

MIYAGI: Looking at this card makes my chest hurt. 
YONE: I am certain that this will be a fierce match. The kick is so strong, you remember the feeling of being kicked (by Nakajima). 
MIYAGI: There is also the technique called ENDLESS LOVE, where AXIZ give a chop by Shiozaki and a kick by Nakajima. Sakuraba took it the other day. 
YONE: Why did they give it that name? Both the name and the power of the move are far apart. But pro wrestlers have a mututal trust, if there is no love you can't do it, but I think for the two of them there is a feeling of love which is why they could.
MIYAGI: Sakuraba took the submission from Shiozaki with 39 Locks at Korakuen the other day. 
YONE: Of course, Sakuraba is great at ground fighting, but he has the strength to decide the match when standing. Because there is that fear of the joint being turned back in an instant, I think there is a fear of people who do such things. 
MIYAGI: And of course, there is Sugiura too. 
YONE: Interesting that the two of them are tagging, because the characters are fun. Rather than who wins, it's more "Which one will lose?", it's a match like that. It's hard to predict but I can imagine Sakuraba being smashed, then he would suddenly strike back and take the title. I can imagine the feeling of the venue will be erupting. 
MIYAGI: If Shiozaki wins, he will be a double champion. If Sakuraba wins, he will have his first GHC title. Whichever you choose will be dramatic. 
YONE: No matter who you came for, I think it is good that you have come to Kultz. There is still time, so I want you to come and see me! Live!
