(NOAH) "Budokan is nothing better for professional wrestlers", 12th February, Genichiro Tenryu will appear on "Legend Commentary"
ABEMA TIMES
At the Nippon Budokan event, held for the first time in eleven years by Pro Wrestling Noah, in the PPV broadcast legends of wrestling will be in charge of commentary. One of them will be Genichiro Tenryu. For the wrestlers from Noah who were there in the early days, he is a senior from All Japan. Tenryu, who also has a column in which he serializes pro wrestling reviews, said of Noah's Budokan "return", "It's a way-point for now, but it's getting better (as a promotion)"
"For the first time in 11 years, the Budokan has been diligently piled up. I think there is an emotional attachment to this venue. I am proud that Noah's wrestlers are able to advance to The Budokan, and I want them to press hard, instead of being stronger than New Japan."
Regarding the matches at The Budokan, he commented on his own experience from his active career.
"When you see the overcrowded audience seats at the large venue, the feeling of "I can't betray this large crowd" becomes stronger. Looking up from the ring to the audience and seeing the crowd filled up, there is nothing better for professional wrestlers. I want them to experience it".
The match to pay attention to is Go Shiozaki vs Keiji Mutoh for the GHC Heavyweight Championship. It is said to be a fight between "Mutoh's obstinacy" and Shiozaki's "willingness to carry Noah and to rise and meet Mutoh in the main."
At this Budokan event, Yoshinari Ogawa, who served at Tenryu's second during the All Japan era, will fight for the Junior Tag Team championship. Ogawa, 54, is active in the Noah juniors.
"It's amazing that he is wearing a belt at the age of 54, but it is difficult to create conditions while attacking young people. I think it is encouraging him for him to overcome that, and fight for a belt at The Budokan. In the long run being 54 years old in this industry means you will be devoting yourself to taking care of your body."
On the other hand, there are many young wrestlers in Noah, who have never experienced an event at The Budokan. "I want them to do it without being swallowed by the atmosphere of The Budokan. Whatever the outcome, it's a plus for the wrestlers to experience the Budokan event packed with a large crowd. I want them to fully enjoy it."
To both the wrestlers and the staff he said, "I want everyone to enjoy The Budokan". He said for himself, "I want to see good matches, give good commentary, and enjoy The Budokan with the viewers".
