(NOAH) POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: GREAT VOYAGE 2022 in YOKOHAMA (Yokohama Budokan, Sunday March 13th)


DAIKI INABA & KAITO KIYOMIYA

INABA: Okay, I won. One further thing I want to do is...Marufuji-san, today was a tag, but next time please fight me in a singles. Please. Please in a singles.
KIYOMIA: One more, please.
INABA: Please.

M'S ALLIANCE 
(NAOMICHI MARUFUJI & MASAAKI MOCHIZUKI)

MARUFUJI: I'm sorry, Mochizuki-san
MOCHIZUKI: No, no, no
MARUFUJI: Did the three count come in?
MOCHIZUKI: When you got into the position of the Shiranui, I thought you had won. Well...you've got to be on your guard. Hey, I wonder if Inaba was a little lucky? Let's try it again. Those two won't last long anyway. 
MARUFUJI: I'm sorry Mochizuki. I have been thinking about this for a long time, let's suspend this unit for the time being. 
MOCHIZUKI: What? This is the first I have heard about this.
MARUFUJI: Let's take a break. Mutoh-san is absent, Funaki-san is gone, I don't know where or what Miyamoto-kun is doing. In any case, Mochizuki-san, the result is I lost today. It might be me perhaps, but I think that with five people we are Arashi*
MOCHIZUKI: Eh? Say that again
MARUFUJI: Usually, it is thought that five people are Arashi. If one or two people are missing, then Arashi will not be able to do group activities. 
MOCHIZUKI (pointing at himself): Nino? Nino?* 
MARUFUJI: That's why the bond got stronger and stronger, and there were only fun memories. This isn't s break up, it's a suspension of activities. In the end, we are all five people of Arashin.
MOCHIZUKI: But, I don't see the letter M though
MARUFUJI: Well, I don't know how many fans have supported me, I don't know how many there are, but let's reunite this Arashi when everyone's intent, condition and feelings are in order. 
MOCHIZUKI: Not Arashi. "Eh" instead of "Ah"...I have heard it from the leader for the first time now. In Corona, there haven't been many matches, so I went to the M's alliance...and because I joined Arashi, I was able to maintain my pride as pro wrestler during it, but the leader has made his decision.
MARUFUJI: But, of course, I will continue to be Moroboshi-san...no, this has become Hikaru-GENJI. I would like to work with Mochizuki-san and Tanaka-san. There are so many unit conflicts right now, so why don't you try what you want? Like matchmaking. The wording may be bad, but I think you can be prevented from getting into a rut. Maybe I'll fight.
MOCHIZUKI: Well, when I think about it, I think it was because of a singles with you that I went to Noah's ring. I have done singles with various people, but I haven't done it with the leader, so maybe that's the case come to think of it. After this because M's is gone, well, I wonder if I should get rid of what I no longer need because Arashi is gone...
MARUFUJI: Truly Nino, thank you
MOCHIZUKI: Thank you, Leader
MARUFUJI: Well, I don't know if we will be teaming up in the ring or fighting
MOCHIZUKI: Once again, thank you
MARUFUJI: I'm really sorry for today

The two of them leave their M's wristbands on the floor and leave

*A five member Japanese boy band, who have been on hiatus since December 2020. 
*Kazunari Ninomiya. The actor of the group. 
*Japanese actor and singer. He was also a member of the group, Hikaru GENJI. When the group performed, Kazumi would usually be in the center of the stage. 


THE SUGIURA ARMY
(TAKASHI SUGIURA & HIDEKI SUZUKI)

*Only Takashi Sugiura turns up first*

SUGIURA: Hachi, Hachi, Hachi! Hachiman!

SUZUKI comes in late and points to the tooth mark on his wrist.

SUGIURA: This. Sleeper taken (i.e. the sleeper took the match)
SUZUKI: This is my true nature
SUGIURA: The former panclassist* did this?
SUZUKI: Speaking of pancration*, anything else is just an imitation.
SUGIURA: Really. If anything, because that was a sleeper, he couldn't escape.
SUZUKI: It seemed like I could go with that, but it was disappointing
SUGIURA: Well, we won completely in the end. One more win. One more to win.
Q: Suzuki, you wrestled a match before fans for the first time in about two years? 
SUZUKI: Either way, it makes no sense to speak if I don't win the finals. Win. If I win, I'll talk for about two hours. 

*Panclassist: Former Pancrase champion
*Form of classical wrestling, which forms part of Hideki Suzuki's catch-can background.

KOTARO SUZUKI
"Is it the end of the dumbasses? Hey, YO-HEY. How long have you been half hearted? Dumb and dumber team up and are overjoyed to catch the belt, what are you so happy about? What is the value of that belt? That's right, it's the Regulars. Aren't the Regulars a trash can for guys leaving their teams? How do they steer the Noah Juniors? The Noah Juniors are steered by us, Perros Del Mal De Japon. Remember it well. If you have any complaints, try to resist. I will destroy all the guys who come."

GO SHIOZAKI
"This is my first singles match win of the year. Soya is no longer an easy opponent to beat. He resonated with such great power and emotion, but, if I stumbled here, then I wouldn't be able to regain my flow. I have reset my mind once* I want to fight against Katsuhiko Nakajima, who I lost the first title shot against this year. To raise my standing further, I want to have a single match with Katsuhiko Nakajima. He is absent currently, and the belt has also been taken. Because he has been absent, I am sure there is a lot of things that he has been building up, and I am sure he's built up anger. I want to interact with him anytime, anywhere. It doesn't make sense not to beat him when he in a bad mood. Noah and Go Shiozaki, thank you."

*Original line was "reset my misogi once". "Misogi" is a Shinto purification ritual, whereby the worshipper seeks purification, usually under an ice cold waterfall (Kenoh once did this, as Hajime Ohara looked on and laughed). There is no equivalent practice in English.


KAZUYUKI FUJITA
*Fujita appears alone in the interview booth with the belt on his shoulder*

FUJITA: Thank you everyone for today. Do you have any questions? 
Q: How was your first match? 
FUJITA: I have done my best. I am Kazuyuki Fujita from Pro Wrestling Noah. 

*Kashin walks in clapping, and holding a beer*

KASHIN: Congratulations. Cheers! A toast!
FUJITA: Yes? I'm sorry. I can't do that anymore, so please drink alone if you want. I'm sorry. Thank you very much for today. Excuse me. Thank you again. 

*When Fujita leaves, Kashin all alone says to his beer*: Oh, he's influenced by Noah...

MASATO TANAKA
"What's with that attitude? I'm Masato Tanaka, yeah? What is that attitude? If this career is to be ridiculed, I will remind you of something. Will you break, or will you be destroyed? Bring it on, asshole!" 


PERROS DEL MAL DE JAPON

EITA: You guys, what did you see? 

*Celebrates with Perros*

EITA: Hey, I won. Why didn't anyone come out? Did you guys pretend not to see this situation? You guys aren't scared, are you? Did you watch my match, or did you just watch secretly from the side? Sorry you guys, but next Perros has the GHC Junior Tag in Fukuoka. 
NOSAWA: Well, it's like we have already won it, we are as if we already have it. 
EITA: We will also catch the junior tag, and Perros will make a clean sweep of the belts. Speaking of which, there was traitor. 
NOSAWA: We destroyed him
EITA: The traitor lost to NOSAWA and today to Kotaro. Is it my turn next? I am looking forward to it. 
NOSAWA: Oh, in Fukuoka, he will be destroyed
KOTARO: You won't be able to. I have already destroyed about 80%
NOSAWA (To Eita): The traitor is always betrayed, isn't he? Okay? 
EITA: All in all, it's fine. As this is a different story, I forgot what to say! For the time being, no one came to the ring. This is the current situation. 
NOSAWA: Well then, let's go and challenge. Is Crazy going to go? If you say so, we can do it
EITA: Hmm, maybe later
NOSAWA: Do you want to have a meeting? If you don't want to do it, then you should say that you don't want to do it.
EITA: I'll tell you on a recording
NOSAWA: No problem. We will chose someone
EITA: I will do it later. (NOSAWA leaves with the others) Will I chose the next challenger from those four? I will answer honestly. I don't want to. That's it. I don't want to fight with my friends anymore.

DAISUKE HARADA
*Surrounded by members of the Noah Junior Regulars. He gets up after a while*
HARADA: SHIT!!!!


THE SUGIURA ARMY
(TAKASHI SUGIURA & HIDEKI SUZUKI)

SUGIURA: Hurry up and thank Hachi for kicking them and choosing Noah for this.
SUZUKI: It's okay. If you are sued that's why this is a problem
SUGIURA: But I am grateful that you returned and left such a result. 
Q: Sugiura and Suzuki have tagged together after a long time, but was it easy to? 
SUGIURA: That's not all. Isn't he just habitual (to the Sugiura Army)? Among that...what will come out?
SUZUKI: It was a hassle in Florida
SUGIURA: Oh, over there.
SUZUKI: Halfway through I didn't listen to anyone. There were various things. 
SUGIURA: Is that so? Japan is more suitable I guess. 
Q: Suzuki, it was the first match in about two years
SUZUKI: About one year and three months
Q: How did it feel?
SUZUKI: Seriously speaking, the last time I was in Japan, I think Noah was probably the most popular, but my motivation for matches has dropped significantly. However, because of this period, the first thing I thought about when I went to the ring today was that I had a good match. I thought the matches where good, not because I won, but because I was able to wrestle both matches. 
Q: And as a result, you got a belt immediately after your triumphant return? 
SUZUKI: Like I said, it's not "a triumphant return". It was a firing. 
Q: A belt immediately after firing? 
SUGIURA: You're saying that on purpose, right? 
SUZUKI: Across the board, people have been dismissed in large numbers. To great extent fired. 
SUGIURA: There are different types of dismissals. Immense dismissals.
SUZUKI: There is. There is a small and large firings. At the time of a mass firing, everyone is great at getting in touch. It's okay. 
Q: The Sugiura Army has both the heavyweight single and the tag? 
SUGIURA: Is there one more? 
Q: What about the GHC National Championship, it will be a monopoly.
SUGIURA: I'm glad, if anything it's one more, isn't it? 
SUZUKI: In today's first round, I defeated Masakatsu Funaki and I made a challenge in an easy to understand manner. If I win the National, then with this The Sugiura Army...
SUGIURA: Yeah. I hope he accepts. 
SUZUKI: It's okay. Please say "accept". It's only once, or it's petty.
