Q: What impression did you have of Marufuji's matches?
AJ: He's a representative Noah wrestler, and I watch a lot of Noah matches. I have fond memories of his matches with Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi, but Marufuji always puts on great matches. I'm jealous that he's had matches with Misawa and Kobashi (laughs)
Q: What kind of match would you like to have with Marufuji?
AJ: I want to make it a memorable match. I want to have a classic, high-flying, technical match regardless of age.
