(NOAH) POST MATCH INTERVIEWS: SUNNY VOYAGE 2024 (Thursday February 8th, Yokohama Radiant Hall)

KENOH (& YU OWADA)

KENOH: The first match immediately after losing the GHC Heavyweight...

OWADA (cuts in): Kenoh-san! Kenoh-san! I want to become stronger! Please give me a chance! Please! 

KENOH: Oi, Owada! Do you want to become stronger? 

OWADA: Yes! 

KENOH: And you want me to give you a chance? Stop talking shit, and grab the chance for yourself! But will you seize that chance, can you tell me? 

OWADA: Yes!

KENOH: Yeah well, it looks like there is going to be a tag league starting next month. The VC Tag League? It was suddenly said, and I don't know what it is about, I'm not really interested and I don't really understand how they decide who will participate. Those guys don't seem to care about the championship either, but the most brilliant among them is nowhere to be found. Hey, Owada, you came here to take a chance, right? 

OWADA: Yes! 

KENOH: You came here to seize the opportunity, and to take the top spot in Noah, right? 

OWADA: Yes! 

KENOH: Listen up Noah, the former champion says he is going to complete in the tag league, and if he wins, then he will have the right to challenge the GHC tag champions. Owada, why don't you take this chance with me? 

OWADA: Please!

KENOH: Hey, this has already been decided. Owada and I will be in the VC Tag League, add us! And Owada, you can seize your chance. 

OWADA: Yes! 

LOS GOLPEADORES (Dragon Bane & Alpha Wolf) 

WOLF: Los Golpeadores won again today.

BANE: We are the strongest tag team in Noah, flying from Mexico to the world. 

WOLF: We will definitely win the "VICTORY CHALLENGE TAG LEAGUE" 

ATSUSHI KOTOGE

"I have entered the tag league, and have worn the belt in a team with Shiozaki-san, so I will not give up. I will not give up and will aim for the championship."

TIMOTHY THATCHER

"Today was a big victory for REAL, and we will win the VICTORY CHALLENGE TAG LEAGUE as well. We will take back the GHC tag belts, defeat everyone and win the championship. No problem!"

MASA KITAMIYA & DAIKI INABA

KITAMIYA: It's not only us, but we are former champions and former challengers, and we will take back those belts we left behind. 

INABA: It's not just about winning, we've got to wear the belts one more time. We'll be greedy and aim for both, mutherfuckers. 

KITAMIYA: We will win, assholes 

INABA: Watch out, mutherfuckers.

JACK MORRIS

"The next challenger is Anthony Green. It was a strange feeling today because it was  GLG showdown. In a few weeks, I'll be fighting Anthony for this belt, and of course we are friends, but its a different matter when it comes to putting the belt on the line. We both have to give each other the best we can when we fight for this prestigious belt."

LJ CLEARY

"Today was a GLG showdown, so it felt a little strange. If it wasn't for Jack Morris, I wouldn't be in GLG right now, but on the other hand, Anthony Green has also been helping me a lot, so the match felt a little strange."

ANTHONY GREEN

"Unfortunately I lost today, but I am confident. In the next match my partner will be different, and I will be competing against GLG again. I want to gain more confidence through that fight, and I want to gain even more confidence that I will win the belt and become the double champion next."

JAKE LEE

"In this match, Jack has one win, and Anthony zero wins. Next time we have this match, it will have a slight switch. Everyone, please watch that match too. I am looking forward to seeing how that works. And then what I said in the ring about Kazuyuki Fujita...I said it was a way to kill time, but I think he's probably a much better opponent than that. You can see a clash between heavyweights that haven't been seen recently in Noah. It will be in Nagoya (*Jake walks towards the camera*), so I would appreciate it if you guys in the company would consider it. Thank you."

KAITO KIYOMIYA & RYOHEI OIWA

KIYOMIYA: Okay, Okay

OIWA: Thank you. The name of the tag league is "VICTORY CHALLENGE TAG LEAGUE", and that's perfect for a young energetic guy like me. So, I am going to make sure that Kaito and I win, win the league and then after that, wear the championship belts. 

KIYOMIYA: As Ryohei said, we want to get results. We have challenged the current GHC tag champions once before. I think they are very strong champions, who have continued to defend themselves even following that, but I want the two of us to achieve results together. As the name of this tag league suggests, we will challenge the current champions, and claim the victory. Okay, let's go!

OIWA: Please

KIYOMIYA: And tomorrow is "THE NIPPON TELEVISION PRO WRESTLING"*. People are saying that Anzai* is the future or whatever, but I have no intention of doing anything like that, it's just a match, so I'm going to go above and beyond in every aspect and try to win in order to spread Noah. 

Note

*70th anniversary of wrestling on NHK. 

*Yuma Anzai

SHUJI KONDO & MANABU SOYA

SOYA Next up is the tag league. If I want to appear in the tag league, I'll have to appear in it with Kondo. Hey, Kondo? 

KONDO: What do you and I have in common?

SOYA: What do we have in common? That doesn't matter. The only thing that I can say is that we are IBU (International Budo University)! IBU.

KONDO: IBU? I'm IBU too. Is that what you mean? 

SOYA: Yes, that is what I mean 

KONDO: I love cocky young people. He lost today too, so I'll make him suffer. Also, Soya, I would like to say something. 

SOYA: What is it? 

KONDO: I'm senior, that's what. 

SOYA: Well, duh! Anyway, Kondo and I will win the tag league, so that's all!

HAYATA & EITA

HAYATA: Like I said in the ring, we're the ones who win and the ones who sing. 

EITA: HEY! HAYATA and I are the faces of the Noah Juniors! We will win both the pre matches and the title match!
