Shibata:

'The last of preliminary matches! We’ve had a great finale. Finally, a long waited for Ryogoku battle. I’m damn ready and looking forward to beating the sh$t out of it!'



* Tiger returns with an applause



Tiger:

'You will get it! You can do it for sure!



Shibata:

'Thank you so much! I’ll show them a real man’s gut and what a real man can do!'



-- Through the preliminary matches, did you see any changes or have a different impression towards Okada?



Shibata:

'Impression? Change? He still has many faces that I haven’t seen yet. He still hides it under his masks. You better take all that sh$toff and face me for real! Otherwise, you have no chance in hell of winning!'



-- Was it some kind of implication or message that you did“Go2Sleep” at the end?



Shibata:

'I’ll let you wonder about it. I’m working hard in Japan! I get inspired a lot from those! So, I’ll stay here in Japan and I will be stronger than you…! As the member of New Three Musketeers, I’m the only one who hasn't got the IWGP belt around my waist. I’m the only one! That’s it from me! Thank you!'





Okada:

'The strong will doesn't always brings a victory. Yutori (new generation) or whatever, they ain’t got no meaning when it comes to a win. Only the strongest prevail! And I am the strongest now! I will make my stand and defend my title at Ryogoku!'



Gedo:

'Shibata! I admit you got some strong guts, but do you really think you can stand against my rainmaker?'
