Pro Wrestling DX

8th June 2023

HAYATA: I just do what I always do. I think everyone is my enemy. 

HAYATO (sitting on the table): This is All Japan Pro Wrestling's HAYATO. I'm the coolest wrestler in ALL TOGETHER AGAIN. I'll prove it in tomorrow's match, so please pay attention. I want everyone to love me.

WATO: I'm New Japan Pro Wrestling's, Master Wato. I am really looking forward to participating in ALL TOGETHER, and I want to enjoy Hiromu, AMAKUSA and Aoyagi as the winner of BEST OF THE SUPER JUNIORS. I would like to have fun in the match.

AMAKUSA: My name is AMAKUSA. Nice to meet you, after that, thank you for your patronage. These fearless warriors, who have been chosen by their generation and made their names in various places, gather. I am truly honored to have been chosen for such a wonderful stage, so first of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart. In order to spread Noah Junior to the world, and aiming for a new peak, I descended to this land. ALL TOGETHER AGAIN, if you have energy, you can do anything. We have gathered here to live up to those words, and together we want to fascinate everyone with the highest level of junior competition. Tomorrow, at Ryogoku Kokugikan, I have put my whole heart and soul into preparing for te day to come. This is a hot feeling that I can wait a moment for any longer. As the representative of the Noah Juniors, I'm going to compete in an extraordinary way. Please watch my feats!

AOYAGI: I am All Japan Pro Wrestling's World Junior Heavyweight Champion, Atsuki Aoyagi. I am very grateful to be able to fight on the big stage called ALL TOGETHER AGAIN. I want to enjoy myself the most and return the most exciting and the most conspicuousness. And since there are junior champions in this tag match, I would like to keep that in mind as I fight. Thank you.

HIROMU: On August 27th 2011, at the first ALL TOGETHER, I appeared in a Battle Royale. I went to the ring, the gong sounded and I was out in about 30 seconds. I remember being so frustrated, and I couldn't make it out to the Sendai event the second time. After about twelve years, I am very happy to be able to compete among this wonderful junior team as the IWGP Junior Champion. By the way, is it the first time in about 12 years? Did anyone go? (Fans raise their hands) I can really only count about ten people. After 12 years, the wrestlers have changed so much, and so have the fans who are watching. Isn't it interesting? I really want to enjoy this time. Ah, 12 years ago, I think it was good back then, but I don't want to think like that and I don't want you to think so, but for someone like me who enjoys living life to the fullest, I can't help but look forward to ALL TOGETHER this time! Together with all these wonderful juniors! I want to make this match as exciting as possible, and I want to win after having the most fun!

Q: Which of these six wrestlers are you most aware of?

HAYATA: Aren't.

HAYATO: Well, I guess it's Hiromu Takahashi.

WATO: For me, Atsuki Aoyagi.

AMAKUSA: Isn't that a stupid question?

(There is a big applause from the crowd)

AOYAGI: It's a stupid question

HIROMU: Seino-san, you got the order wrong, so I will answer properly. Isn't that a stupid question? 

Q: Will this be a rematch for Wato and Aoyagi since the main event of the Junior All-Star match on the 1st March? 

WATO: On March 1st, I fought Aoyagi in the main event, but he wasn't the World Champion at that time, so I am looking forward to seeing how the world champion, Aoyagi, will fight. 

AOYAGI: Naturally, after losing the singles match on the 1st March, it's like a reunion. I have a belt, and Wato won the Best of The Super Juniors, and both of those things are heavy to carry, but I want to do everything in my power to beat Wato this time. 

WATO: I'm curious as to whether you found a pose other than "Peace"?

AOYAGI: Isn't that a stupid question? (Imitates Wato's pose)

Q: I really want to know what wrestler AMAKUSA is aware of? 

AMAKUSA: That question...isn't it a stupid question? 

Q: Hiromu, what about the two of you being on the same team? 

HIROMU (thinks for a while): Can I say something other than "a stupid question?" On March 1st, we teamed up. Well, I think you are worried about a lot of things. Will the teamwork be okay with such a suddenly made card? Will it work properly as a match? I think everyone thinks that, but we are professionals, you know, we are best friends. To begin with, this team is nasty because there are a lot of strong characters here. I was very surprised. Full of strong characters. I don't know about a team where Hiromu-chan doesn't stand out at all, but please leave this team to me. (Locks eyes with Aoyagi). This. Eye contact. This is enough.

Q: It will be a champion showdown with HAYATA

HIROMU: This isn't just limited to HAYATA, I am aware of everyone. Of course, the belt stands out, but I think it is significant that these six juniors were selected for this position in the semifinals. This team is amazing. Amazing!

*After the Q&A Session*

HIROMU: Can I ask you a question? HAYATO, I couldn't ask you because I had to say stupid question, stupid question, stupid question and I had to say it because it was that kind of atmosphere, but I am wondering why you are aiming for Hiromu Takahashi? I want to ask you that, because I honestly want to know the reason for it.

*When HAYATO sits on the table again, Hiromu does the same*

HAYATO: Because you are flashy and loud. I like flashy, but I don't like loud.

HIROMU: Let me tell you this, if you take the loudness out of Hiromu Takahashi, you won't be left with anything.
