El 5 de junio, hace 29 años, fue el día en que decidí cuál sería mi sueño.
29年前の今日、自分の夢を決めた日。
Mañana en YOKOTE.
明日は横手。
"Mixing it up with KENTA is always fun, isn't it? Because he’s an opponent I have such a memorable history with, it really lights a fire under me. Even though the ring (promotion) is different now, I'm really looking forward to fighting you again."
Tetsuya Naito, as comfortable in a NOAH ring as he is anywhere else, was in his element at the promotion's Kyoto event on the 21st. Teaming alongside fellow Los Tranquilos de Japon members BUSHI, RYUSEI and Angel Reyes in a chaotic eight-man scramble, it was BUSHI who closed the show - forcing Hiroto Tsuruya to tap to a Boston Crab and reminding everyone of the veteran guile that makes LTJ such a difficult proposition.
The GHC Tag Team Championships are headed to Nagoya Kinjo-futo Arena on 12 April, where Naito and BUSHI face TEAM 2000 X's OZAWA and Jun Masaoka in their third defence. The challengers made plenty of noise the previous day, but conspicuously failed to show their faces in Kyoto afterwards. Naito noticed.
"After that big speech they gave yesterday, I expected them to show up today too. I was looking forward to it, so I'm pretty disappointed. We're the champions - shouldn't you, the challengers, be the ones making a move?"
BUSHI had his own message for Masaoka, delivered with characteristic directness. "Did you pick OZAWA's partner just to match my size? I wouldn't have minded if Sugiura or the Chairman showed up. Even Tadasuke would have been fine."
He saved his sharpest words for last.
"Nagoya isn't about me, Naito, or OZAWA. It's about MJ - Masaoka-kun. It all depends on you."
The ball is firmly in Masaoka's court. Nagoya will find out if he's ready to pick it up.

@Claressashields The seating map for your fight still had a lot of BLUE too. And you NEVER fight anywhere but Detroit. You know that’s the only way to possibly getting close to selling out. Lol
