(NOAH) "I want to give you everything" Naomichi Marufuji, "Provide the best" Takashi Sugiura. Match signing for the Sendai GHC battle.


Monday 5th July 2021
Pro Wrestling DX

Q: What is your enthusiasm for the Sendai event? 
SUGIURA: Naomichi Marufuji, who is next to me and myself, Takashi Sugiura are the GHC and in the situation of fighting over the belt is important, and so I will take care when fighting this match, and I hope we can provide the best to everyone who comes to Sendai, and in the end I will win.
MARUFUJI: As Noah is changing now, I think it makes a lot of sense for me, who has accumulated a career for years and a pro wrestler named Takashi Sugiura to have a match. Perhaps the composition of "Marufuji-Sugiura" is not fresh", but as the great seniors have shown in succession, I think such a battle can only be seen with Takashi Sugiura and myself. I think it can be fully shown now, and so I would like people who can come to the venue and people who watch ABEMA to see our match. And although he is a really difficult opponent I want to give you everything to defeat Takashi Sugiura, wrap the belt tightly around my waist and be the last to stand in the ring. 
Q: You have fought in various situations in the past, and in the pre-matches we saw your strategy like enjoying each others matches. What is the difference from past matches? 
SUGIURA: We have had many matches already and been in various situations, but it's the best in that sense because I feel like we have never had a situation where we could concentrate on everything in the ring, the title match in Sendai, including the pre-matches. I feel that the circumstances to show something to each other have never existed before, so in that sense it is the best condition.
MARUFUJI: I am almost the same, and I think we can immerse ourselves in the fight without any interference. I am really grateful to the people around me for creating such an environment, and with that feeling I would like to show what only we can do.
Q: Will this be the top showdown between M's alliance and the Sugiura Army? 
MARUFUJI: Yes. I think it's okay when the person watching it takes sides, I think that we have both Sugiura Army and M's alliance fans, so while having them enjoy the strategy, it will be difficult to beat him if I am conscious of fighting with enthusiasm as the head of the team. I would like to concentrate on defeating Takashi Sugiura, the wrestler. 
SUGIURA: Only at this time I am not really representing the Sugiura Army. I think this is an individual battle between myself and Naomichi Marufuji, who have both carried Noah on our backs. 
Q: Are you aware that if Sugiura wins, he will be crowned double champion?
SUGIURA: That is right about the result, but I am not too aware until it is said, and when it is spoken of I have noticed that I am not very conscious of it. I am concentrating on this belt (the GHC Heavyweight), so I am not aware. 
Q: It is rare for your match to take place in a rural area, but what about the big match in Sendai? 
MARUFUJI: Due to corona we don't have a situation where we can have matches in various places due to Coronavirus. I am very happy to be able to have a title match in Sendai, and I don't think it will make sense if we don't spread our fight, the fight of Pro Wrestling Noah all over the country. Well, there is no choice but to have a central role in Tokyo, and so starting with Sendai I also hope to have title matches in various places, I want to be aware that I am the one who will do that.
