(NOAH) POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: STAR NAVIGATION 2022 (Thursday September 15th, Korakuen Hall)

YOSHIKI INAMURA

"I think it's a great pleasure for both us and the fans, to see a trainee debut from Noah's dojo. I think Ozawa really has strength and resilience, so I want him to make his body bigger and stronger, I want him to strengthen his tenacity, and become an even more powerful wrestler. I will definitely put pressure on my seniors, and I myself will grow bigger and stronger so I won't lose to the power of youth. Thank you very much."

TAISHI OZAWA

"I did everything that I have done so far. Even so, it was no good at all. It was beyond my ability. I will devote myself to pro wrestling more and more, and I will become stronger! I will be absolutely strong and go to the top of Noah, I will drag everyone down above me! I will drag everyone down, and one day I will be Noah's face! Look at me!!"

SUPER CRAZY

"I think Fujimura was great, but I was the one who won. You understand, why right? Because I am Super Crazy, and moreover, I belong to Perros Del Mal De Japon."

SHUHEI TANIGUCHI

"There was Yone as an opponent, who I worked with in Funky. I said "I want to quit Funky" and so now I am going it alone. I couldn't show him a pitiful appearance, so I went hot". 

MASATO TANAKA

"Is this our first tag? Because you have a lot of things that I don't have, and there were a lot of things that I really envy. When we fought a few years ago, I thought you had amazing skill. He may not be at the "from here on" age, but he's younger than me, and I think (Taniguchi) still has a long way to go. I don't know if there will be another opportunity like this (teaming with Taniguchi) after leaving the M's alliance, but I look forward to working with you again at that time". 

ALPHA WOLF, DRAGON BANE, XTREME TIGER & ALEJANDRO

ALPHA WOLF (speaking in Japanese): I am Alpha Wolf! I am the best wrestler, and I think this team is also the best. 

DRAGON BAIN: I am very happy to win. Thank you all the fans of Pro Wrestling Noah, and thank you to Pro Wrestling Noah. 

XTREME TIGER: I have been saying it all along, but we have rewritten history. We have proved once again that we are the best junior warriors. Xtreme Tiger is back in Japan again. Thank you very much for today!

ALEJANDRO: Today we were four friends, but on September 21st at the N-INNOVATION, we will be joined by Ninja Mac in a 5-WAY battle. We will show you a high flyer showdown, that will reach the world. 

KONGOH

(Tadasuke & Shuji Kondo)

TADASUKE: Knowing how those guys work, I am sure they will retaliate. 

KONDO: Wait just a moment. Did anything change for the Kongoh Juniors after I joined the Kongoh Juniors? Nothing has changed you guys. Think about the reason I came here.

KONDO leaves

TADASUKE (after being silent for a while): Hang on, no, wait. Didn't he lose the title match, but yet he says that? 

SATOSHI KOJIMA & TAKASHI SUGIURA

KOJIMA: Oh, Sugi. Thank you very much. Sugi...

SUGIURA: Why do you only run off yourself? If you can afford to do that, then pull me away too. 

KOJIMA: I was the only one who could escape

SUGIURA: You would say that

KOJIMA: I didn't even have the ability to help people. Only you could escape. 

SUGIURA: You would say that.

KOJIMA: So this is really a force majeure

SUGIURA: If you are going to run away, then please lend me a little help.

KOJIMA: I thought I should just run away because I didn't do it in time. I thought I should escape for the time being, but I was really thinking about Sugi, and I really feel like I have to apologize for this. It's just finished now, so I am guessing that you are probably mad, but after about three minutes, I am sure you will be able to relax. I can afford to do it, so thank you Sugi. 

SUGIURA: What is that? 

KOJIMA: It feels amazing...

SUGIURA: It doesn't feel good at all

KOJIMA: Having decided to become a challenger, it's hard to see a team riding along as a team...I have been doing this for thirty-two years, but it is really the first time I have met this kind of team.  

SUGIURA: Today too, there was another misfire

KOJIMA: Well, I made a mistake, but it's not surprising as we are the same age, but in this world...are we really the same age in this world...

*HIDEKI SUZUKI bursts in holding a pipe chair*

SUZUKI: I'm going to throw a chair? At who? 

SUGIURA: Do it to him! 

KOJIMA: Don't be silly, I'm commenting here! 

*SUGIURA and KOJIMA leave*

SUZUKI: I'll throw a chair, bite me assholes!

EL HIJO DEL DR WAGNER JNR

(Leaning on Hideki Suzuki, and asking questions in Spanish or English): I don't know why I lost. Why? Why? 

YO-HEY

"The match was lost, but afterwards, attacked the champion when it was over. But there is no other way for us, win those belts no matter what. The team of Yoshioka and Kotoge will have a championship match against STINGER on th 25th, and me too. No matter how hard we try, the belts always won't come to us. No matter what, we, the Noah Regular Army, will take the belts. And! Tomorrow we will also fight STINGER. On the 21st, there will be an all-out war at the Shinjuku Innovation and the title match on September 25th. The last time you saw me today...on the 25th in Nagoya, I will show you how I raise my belt to the sky, while HAYATA lies sprawled." 

KAITO KIYOMIYA

"Thank you very much. I want that belt, because it is Kenoh's. I have been with Kenoh for a long time. I feel like I'm being left behind, and I have been conscious of that since I joined Noah. Since then, there have been times when he has become a wall, and there have been times when I have teamed up with him. Everyone may have their own thoughts about my matches now, but because I am using it, this is my technique. This is my technique now. I will do the pre matches now with confidence there. I will wrap the GHC around my waist. Please support me."

MASAKATSU FUNAKI

"I won't take the backdrop twice. I can win if I don't."
