Speaker 1: and you know you got a big match ahead of

75
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: you guys tonight. So let's kind of just let's let's

76
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: kind of do a softball question. How did you guys

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: get involved with New Japan Pro Wrestling. We'll start off

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: easy before we get into the heavy hitters.

79
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 5: Let's start with Ken of Fit Finley over there.

80
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Well, my dad was real famous and got me a job.

81
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: Somebody's living in the shadow very much.

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: Let's say, when you have the balls to admit it,

83
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: you know that shows maturation.

84
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: You know, this is all pending.

85
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: I started originally with the first rendition of the La Dojo,

86
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 5: when New Japan and Antonioki opened a dojo there. I

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 5: basically they were like, hey, if you're willing to set

88
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 5: up the ring at and then like kind of set

89
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: everything up, and then they're like, okay, cool, you seem cool,

90
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: you want to train, And then I started training and

91
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 5: then ten months later they offered me, you know, my

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: first opportunity to go over to Japan, and then it's

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: kind of been history since.

94
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I quit NXT in twenty fifteen

95
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 6: around Wrestle Many a time and came to New Japan

96
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: in September.

97
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: So after the summer.

98
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Was it kind of nervous for you quitting NXT just

99
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of like with the reputation of everything having with it?

100
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: Or did you know that it was done at NXT?

101
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 5: Oh?

102
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: I know it was done.

103
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 6: But you know, anytime you quit a job, it's pretty scary, right,

104
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 6: but takes a little while land on your feet, and

105
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 6: I did, so it's all good.

106
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was scary.

107
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: I mean you land on your feet. You got some

108
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: some gold over there with you guys.

109
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 7: Yet the championship over there, we're tag team champion.

110
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: We'll bust them out later. You guys can touch them nice.

111
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: So kind of piggybacking off of that.

112
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: You know, WW is the largest wrestling company on the planet,

113
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 3: but many argue that New Japan is the best. I mean, uh,

114
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: there's been this trajectory for the last you know, at

115
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: least five years, but you.

116
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: Know longer than that.

117
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: What's it been like to experience kind of the rocket

118
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 3: blasting off as kind of integral parts of New Japan.

119
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 6: Little.

120
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I was a part so like you know,

121
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 5: since I started with two thousand and two in New Japan.

122
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: We started in seventy two.

123
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, seventy two. It was like me Backland was coming

124
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 5: over then.

125
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

126
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 5: You know, like I've been through the ups and downs

127
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 5: of the company a lot.

128
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

129
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 5: When I started, it was kind of up, and then

130
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 5: it went, it went completely down, and then the rise

131
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 5: of Tana Hashi you know, really built it back up

132
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 5: in like two thousand and nine twenty ten, and then

133
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: now it's just on a complete like just rocket ship

134
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 5: up like you said. And you know, obviously now we're

135
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: becoming more international, you know, so like you know, last

136
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: year we did Australia, we did London, England, and they

137
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 5: were all successful shows. And now obviously the US tour

138
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 5: here today, uh in Nashville, and I don't know, it's

139
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 5: just kind of cool just to see it because we

140
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 5: didn't really see it coming. It just kind of came

141
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: and it was like very organic, you.

142
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Know, it's kind of weird. I mean, this is going

143
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: back obviously a while, but you know, you you'd look.

144
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: At you know, kind of early nineties and you'd have

145
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: like the Steiner Brothers, They're going to wrestle Japan.

146
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: Was a kid in Tennessee with no Internet, no like that.

147
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: They might as well have been going to Mars.

148
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Like you're you're never gonna see the matches, You're never

149
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 3: gonna you catch it in the magazines.

150
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 6: I think the invention of New Japan world has been

151
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: huge expansion Jesus.

152
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because everybody come with you.

153
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 5: Has been big for us too. Yeah, our YouTube.

154
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: The Internet has been huge for us.

155
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well now it's just like when people say

156
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: that it's it's it's almost like a you know, it's

157
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: like a prestige thing.

158
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: It's not like a black hole. It's like, oh shit,

159

160
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 5: And I think especially in New Japan, like oh specifically

161
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: you know, like where the titles mean. It's something, you know,

162
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: like it's all built around like you know, the ig

163
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: heavy title or the tag titles or whatever like it

164
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: it's a big deal. Like if you're a chair being

00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: like like you said, growing up, you didn't see anything

179
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,960

187
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,840

188
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,760

Speaker 1: setting eight time tag team Champ's Finland Jews current tag

198
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: team champs. What do you guys think tag team wrestling

199
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: has thrived in New Japan and struggled in other companies

200
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Because it seems like in New Japan tag team wrestling

201
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: is easy and it flows and it's good. But if

202
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: you look at other companies WWE, it doesn't seem to.

203
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: Work very wrong with There's something in my throat.

204
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: I think, well, World tag Lea, I mean we you know,

205
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 6: we put a whole month into finding out who the

206
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: best tag team is in New Japan. Then it all

207
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 6: you know, climax is at Wrestle Kingdom. So the winter

208
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: is basically all about you know, the heavyweight tag titles.

209
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 6: So when you start dedicating all that calendar space is

210
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: something it's going to be, you know, going to be important.

211
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think too is like the if you look

212
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: back at the history of Japanese wrestling in general, it's

213
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: always been about like tag team wrestlings, you know, getting

214
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 5: like two big stars to you to come together. You know,

215
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 5: like in the nWo nWo days, it was like you

216
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: know Chonoh Mudo Tenzon Shonoh or you know now ten

217
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: kog you guys uh you know Tama and and uh

218
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 5: tangaloa the g D you know, Evil Evil Sonata, you know,

219
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 5: and before that, like what Anderson and Gallows war Machine.

220
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 5: I mean you you look at like the year, how

221
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 5: just even the last couple of years, how much how

222
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 5: many great tag teams went through the bucks obviously, you know,

223
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 5: I mean just like really great tactics. I think we

224
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: always always has like a good eye for talent, and

225
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: especially when it comes to the tag team divisions, always

226
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 5: looking for somebody to add to it. You know. Yeah.

227
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: Well, and it's like for some reason over there, like

228
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: if they do throw two random people together, it's still see.

229
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 5: It doesn't feel random it And I think that's also

230
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 5: helps because like there's the faction system, right, so then

231
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, well, these guys already in the same group.

232
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 5: It's not like you're just putting a wrestler and why

233
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 5: wrestler together just for the hell of it. You know,

234
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 5: at least they're like there's some cohesiveness and it makes.

235
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: Sense story there.

236
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

237
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just so weird to see.

238
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: You know, some some companies have the tag team problem

239
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: and it's just you know, people even joke that the

240
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: belts are just props.

241
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: It's like, well, for some companies, that's true, they don't really.

242
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to just dedicate time to them if

243
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 6: you want to matter, and we do so, right, they matter.

244
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: Right, that's that's that's good.

245
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: Cool. Let's see where we're at.

246
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: Uh Okay, so we we kind of talked about, you know,

247
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: global expansion.

248
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: You guys have you know, did Australia UK here? Now obviously, what.

249
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: Do you think is the biggest thing in New Japan

250
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: can do to continue to grow to grow the audience

251
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: in the United States.

252
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: I think we just got to keep having badass shows. Really.

253
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 7: I think it's going to come from a word of

254
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: mouth mostly. Yeah, at least I think that's what's gonna

269
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: I think it was like the card wasn't like a

270
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,680
