Weekly Pro

11th December 2024 (Issue No. 2330)

Noah's "MONDAY MAGIC Autumn ep4" November 18th Shinjuku show, was a series of heated matches, including a fierce battle for the GHC Hardcore Championship. Assistant Director NOSAWA Rongai was expected to challenge GHC Heavyweight Champion Kaito Kiyomiya, but the attempt failed. What were his thoughts on the show as a whole?

Q: You attacked Kaito Kiyomiya with a dropkick and a Shining Wizard, it looked as if you were returning to the ring?

NOSAWA: I was hoping to use the power of magic to make a spectacular comeback, but the reality was not so sweet (crying). I ended up hurting my already strained back even more (wry smile).

Q: What is your relationship with your "old American friend" Brian Kendrick?

NOSAWA: To use an old phrase, we'd be "e-mail friends". Those wrestlers were with me when I was touring America. They've all had success and got older (laughs). It may be a valuable ingredient since we don't have much left to eat anymore

Q: What about the GHC Heavyweight Championship being held in the "MONDAY MAGIC" ring?

NOSAWA: It's the magic ring, so I wasn't too concerned about the form, I was serious about trying it out. If I was concerned about such small things, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and I wouldn't be able to make GHC Women's. I don't know if this will resonate with you, but MONDAY MAGIC is like cooking curry rice with ingredients you don't normally use.

Q: The main event, the GHC Hardcore Championship, was a heated battle that exceeded expectations. What did you think?  

NOSAWA: Shuji Ishikawa was full of energy on MONDAY MAGIC, and the match was world class. If WrestleUniverse can reach more overseas audiences, I think MONDAY MAGIC could be held overseas too.

Q: Following the previous singles 5-way, the 4-way tag match was a heated battle.

NOSAWA: I think we were able to provide the best food possible. It was a match worthy of MONDAY MAGIC, which anyone could enjoy.

Q: On the women's side, Bozilla was furious at Sakuya for spraying her with poisonous mist.

NOSAWA: The bitterness of the poison mist is awful (laughs)

Q: The 25th November Shinjuku show will be the "MONDAY MAGIC Autumn Episode Final?"

NOSAWA: I'll try my best not to get hurt again (laughs)
