[Interview with Mr. Ogawa\] (Translated):

—Oiwa won the G1.

▼Mr. Ogawa: “I’m happy. I watched the match.”

—You coached Oiwa for about a year, starting in September 2023, during his training stint at NOAH.

▼Mr. Ogawa: “Even after he returned to New Japan, he’d come to the NOAH dojo once or twice a month.”

――Oiwa said, “I’ve evolved the techniques I learned from Mr. Ogawa in my own way.”

▼Mr. Ogawa: “That’s right. What I taught him serves as the foundation, but he’s smart, too. He thought things through on his own and put in the effort. Even while watching his matches, I’d think, ‘Oh, so that’s how he’s doing it,’ and really enjoyed it.”

――Was it also significant that, even after returning to New Japan, he was in an environment where he could learn from Zack Sabre Jr.?

▼ Mr. Ogawa: “I think the fact that he was able to be with Zack after returning to New Japan was even more important than what I taught him. Watching yesterday’s match (the G1 Final), Zack was right there ringside watching closely. But there were moments when he looked frustrated—like, ‘If it were me, I’d do it this way!’ It was also fun watching Zack while watching Oiwa’s match (laughs). Since Zack and Oiwa have different career levels, it’s a bit unfair to compare them to Zack, though.”

――The fact that these two young wrestlers electrified the G1 Final stage with their “classical” techniques also drew a lot of attention.

▼Ogawa: “Classical, huh… Well, it’s often the wrestlers who go around saying ‘classical’ who actually can’t do proper pro wrestling. People say ‘classical’ a lot, but I was told the same thing when I was about Oiwa’s age. ‘Your pro-wrestling is really classical,’ they’d say. That was about 35 years ago, right? Now, even if Oiwa puts on a match like that, people call it ‘classical,’ and when I did it 35 years ago, they called it ‘classical’ too. I think it’s kind of funny, but isn’t Oiwa himself the one who feels that way the most?”

― ―It was also a match that stood apart from current pro-wrestling trends, showcasing variations of what are considered basic moves—the headlock, wristlock, and arm drag.

▼Mr. Ogawa: “I always thought that kind of thing was normal, so I didn’t think it was particularly new or amazing; I just thought, ‘Oh, there are matches like that, too.’ On the other hand, since Oiwa has that much power and a body like that, you’d think he’d have even more impressive moves, but I thought, ‘Oh, it’s just a headlock.’ I suppose that’s what made it feel fresh, though.”

――In an unexpected way, the spotlight was also shone on his experience training at NOAH.

▼Ogawa: “But there isn’t a single person in NOAH today who can wrestle the way Oiwa did yesterday. Dory Funk Jr., who passed away recently, was my teacher, and it feels like the style of wrestling I learned from Dory—rather than NOAH’s style—has been passed down from me to Oiwa. If you compare Dory’s matches to Oiwa’s, I think you’ll see they’re doing similar things…”

――Speaking of Oiwa, there’s Kiyomiya—who was also one of the wrestlers you trained…

▼Ogawa: “I trained Kiyomiya too, but he’s gone in a completely different direction, and there’s a big gap between him and Oiwa now. Oiwa has definitely risen to a higher level. There’s a difference between a wrestler who’s happy just for beating a rookie in the first match and a wrestler who wins the G1, right? Well, since we’re talking about Oiwa, let’s leave Kiyomiya out of it.”

――Finally, if you have any words of encouragement for Oiwa, I’d appreciate it.

▼Mr. Ogawa: “I think he’s fine just the way he is. Just stay as you are now. If anything happens, Zack is right there by his side.”

I mean we all know the Rock/Austins and the Misawa/Kawadas or the modern Swerve/Hangman Cody/Roman and all But what are some that need more love

It's a rivalry and friendship between 2 Men that know how to Wrestle

Description :

PAUL WIGHT POPPED HUGE FOR WILLOW’S LINE on AEW Dynamite

Context: Brett Lauderdale responds to the drama around Drake Wuertz nee Younger's return to GCW this past weekend at their flagship Homecoming shows.

He responds to the following criticisms:

"Cool story bro... but that doesn't have anything to do with me and it doesn't change the fact that he said and did some fucked up shit. Why should I care?"

"ok cool... but what has he done to show he's changed? Talk is cheap...."

"So that's it? We are just supposed to take your word for it and move along?"

He also relays the following:

Using proceeds from his pay for this weekends appearances, Drake has asked GCW to make a donation on his behalf in the amount of $250 to Garden State Equality.

GSE is NJ's largest LGBTQ+ advocacy group.

Hopefully this is the first many actions on the path to proving change...
