The "Genius of The Ark" faces the most important fight of his life. At "CyberFestival 2021" (June 6th, Saitama Super Arena), Naomichi Marufuji (41), who will challenge Noah's GHC Heavyweight Champion Keiji Mutoh (58), talked of his unwavering determination.
Following the title matches of DDT and Joshi Pro, the big match will close out the "Triple Main Event". Focusing on the match, Marufuji said "I think it is quite difficult to defeat Keiji Mutoh with just the usual Naomichi Marufuji. Even when you look at his defensive matches, there is no way to be straightforward". Moreover, on finding a chance to win he says, "I am looking forward to what I am going to do. I don't think I am going to think, "Let's do this", in advance".
There is, however, a sense of crisis. Takashi Sugiura (50) is the GHC National Champion, Jun Akiyama (51) is the KO-D Openweight Champion, and led by Mutoh the Japanese wrestling world is conspicuous with the activities of those in their 50s.
Marufuji, who is a generation below, said "I think the current 50s generation is amazing. The young wrestlers are doing their best too, but on the contrary I also say "If you are buried in the middle, you are done." Although he is wary of the current situation of a generation gap, he has no intention of being buried. "I think this will be a turning point in my pro wrestling life. Will I live as I am, or will I create my own era? I don't want to be a symbolic figurine just yet". He swore to take the belt, and stand at the top of the ark.
Will be possible to exceed the generation, and win the "Genius Showdown", will be really be possible to wrap the gold that he has not had for five years around his waist?
