(NOAH) "Kotoge just said it", Yoshinari Ogawa refuses the 30th May Junior Tag Defense ~ Mini Interview.
Pro Wrestling DX
GHC Junior Tag Team Champion Yoshinari Ogawa, has made it clear that he is ready to "refuse" the next title defense (May 30th, Ota Ward), against Daisuke Harada & Hajime Ohara.
At the 3rd May Korakuen event, Yuya Susumu (also of STINGER), challenged Atsushi Kotoge for the GHC Junior Championship, but Kotoge made the condition that "Harada and Ohara challenge for the Junior Tag Championship". As it is, the GHC Junior Championship match of Kotoge vs Susumu, and the GHC Junior Tag Championship match of Ogawa & HAYATA vs Harada & Ohara, will take place on the same day.
Ogawa was uncomfortable, saying "It doesn't matter" on the spot, but even now the card has been officially arranged, his attitude of "refusal" is clear.
INTERVIEW WITH YOSHINARI OGAWA
Q: The condition said by Kotoge has passed through, and the junior tag match with Harada and Ohara as your opponents has been arranged?
OGAWA: Well you know, this a tag title match, hasn't it been arranged by Kotoge? Even I was told it was "fixed", I didn't do anything OK, and Harada and Ohara didn't say anything. "Oh, it's fixed because of this"
Q: Don't you agree at all?
OGAWA: I can't agree with how this has been arranged. Well, I've had this kind of thing several times before, but this time it's outrageous. Even though this is a tag title match, Kotoge has arranged it...
Q: Do the champion team intend to accept it as a title defense?
OGAWA: Uh, I'm not convinced, so HAYATA and I are not going to put the belts on the line. It was just announced by the company without permission, and we never said "We will do it". If Harada and Ohara had said it, except Kotoge said it without asking, and he doesn't have that authority, right?
Q: Kotoge is the the singles champion, but...
OGAWA: It doesn't matter, this is a tag title match, right?
Q: However, if you don't agree to the conditions, there is a risk that Susumu's single challenge will be rejected?
OGAWA: That is nothing to do with us either if Susumu can still challenge or not, and if he can't challenge then Susumu will wait until the time comes (rough)
Q: As STINGER, Seiki Yoshioka has joined and you have increased to four people?
OGAWA: Since everyone other than me where originally at the same place (Wrestle Gate), they have a strong relationship, and it was always going to be like this. Now that Yoshioka has entered, will it be the four of us, or will it go on as just HAYATA and myself? I am not sure what is going to happen after this.
Q: What about Harada and Ohara?
OGAWA: First of all, I don't know what they think themselves as they haven't said anything. Hmmm...even if they say they are "a team", have the two of them ever teamed up before until now?
Q: It's true that Harada and Ohara have almost always been in conflict.
OGAWA: Well, I don't know what kind of team their team will be, and I admit I do acknowledge them individually as wrestlers, and so I am not unhappy that the two of them are working together at this time. Anyway, it's a matter of the "decision". The tag title match and why it can't be decided by Kotoge. We didn't agree, so we are not going to put the belts on the line.
