(NOAH) How Kobashi and Omori felt after the match
Weekly Pro 10th October 2000
(Issue No. 998)
Q: There were many awkward moments between you and Omori?
KOBASHI: No, I'm fine with being tagged. When he acts like that at first, I don't really know what it's like to team up with him, but then at the end he tags in, and does an axe bomber, so I don't really understand his actions.
Q: It seems like Omori's feelings are wavering.
KOBASHI: Well, I think it's up to him to do what he wants.
Q: Do you intend to continue working with Omori?
KOBASHI: Based on how it went today, we ended up working as a great team in the end, but it was a little off at the beginning. But if he intends to continue fighting the Akiyama/Takayama team, and if he is willing to fight them tomorrow, we might not be on the same card, but if he has that kind of feeling, then things will change.
Q: What are Omori's abilities as a partner?
KOBASHI: Well, he has power, but it is in a tag. Even if you don't have that much skill individually, there are always great teams that team up, and there are also weak teams that have individual strengths but don't mesh. Anyway, tomorrow if he wants to join, then come as a second, because tomorrow we won't be teaming.
Q: Do you want to clarify your feelings about the second in your match?
KOBASHI: It's not anyone else who he is fighting. It's Akiyama and Takayama, so if that is how he feels, then he should be second.
Q: That has made it clear
KOBASHI: I don't have any intention of forming a team. However, of Akiyama and Takayama are forming a team, that's fine.
Q: Before teaming up today, you hadn't even spoken to Omori, so it was a no-brainer?
KOBASHI: Yeah. We didn't say anything to each other. So when I first asked for tag, it was a little awkward, and then things got weird. I don't know why it ended up like that.
Q: When fighting against Akiyama & Takayama, Omori will be a great ally...
KOBASHI: No, I don't feel any strength or anything like that. It's not like I feel reassured, I just want to do it if that's what he wants to do.
Q: That is an accepting stance.
KOBASHI: If he's really motivated, then given his abilities, there's no point in taking on anyone else, like people of a level below him. There's no point in taking on Hashi, Morishima or Shiga, if he's really motivated.
OMORI: I told you, I'm going to do whatever I want. I'm going to do whatever I want until Takayama wakes up.
Q: Did you and Kobashi not come to a mutual understanding?
OMORI: I don't know. I don't know. We're both professionals. I don't think he'd want to team up with me, and I wouldn't want to team up with Kobashi either, so I don't think it's right to team up with him now. But since he's teamed up with me, I'll do it. You can ask him about the rest.
