(NOAH) GHC Junior Signing Ceremony: HAYATA'S "defend overseas" notice, Yoshioka emphasizes "evolution" as year of revenge


18th September 2023
Pro Wrestling DX

YOSHIOKA: Next month marks the 15th anniversary of my debut, and I am having my first match in Nagoya since I came to Tokyo in September ten years ago. I will be competing at the same venue. I feel there is something like fate about having a title match there. I challenged for this title at the Nippon Budokan almost a year ago, and lost, it's been a long time since then...I lost once due to injury*, but I am going to drive a wedge into the HAYATA administration, who has been defending for a long time.
HAYATA: I have no worries at all. 
Q: He pinned you with the Crash Driver, but what is your impression of Yoshioka these days?
HAYATA: He's fast on his feet...
Q: What is your recent impression of HAYATA? 
YOSHIOKA: What are my recent impressions? It's hard. He's been defending the belt for a long time, and I feel like he's an absolute champion, which is why I think he's a good opponent for me. 
Q: You lost to HAYATA a little over a year ago at The Budokan, but what do you think you have improved since then?
YOSHIOKA: The easiest one to understand is my body. I've been perfecting my body for a long time, and the last time I was at the Nippon Budokan, I improved it a lot, but this time, it's even better than that. I'll do some research and try again to avoid repeating the same mistakes I made last time.
Q: The key point is about how sharp your weapon can be? 
YOSHIOKA: That's right. The last time I focused on kicking, but this time I was able to prove that if I can nail the Crash Driver, then I can get the pin. I would like to increase the number of weapons like that. 
Q: What kind of Noah Junior do you want to be by winning the belt?
YOSHIOKA: I can enjoy it after I win it. 
Q: What do you think after listening to what Yoshioka has said so far?
HAYATA: I don't want to talk about this title match anymore. After I defend it...I want to defend overseas.

Notes
Yoshioka's lost belt: The GHC Junior Tag with Yuya Susumu, which he had to return due to a foot injury.
