Zitat:"I was never a big guy at all, so I have always been about making every single move and every single action precise and proper. Be it big moves or just taking a head, an arm or running the ropes. In 2009 I wrestled Kurt Angle and he said I could make it anywhere. I think every time I've trained since then it's never been training to succeed but always training as if for a debut, to constantly broaden my reach worldwide."

Zitat:"We don't lose out on match quality. We have great guys going up against great guys and there's rarely a gap in levels that lets match quality down. I think English has been a hurdle. So we need to keep the English announcing thing going, like we did in Ryogoku. To an extent it transcends a language barrier, the action speaks for itself, the fans reactions speaks for themselves, but we need to keep doing and keep pushing it hard and find ways to push it hard to the audience, make sure everyone knows that we have "World", that it is accessible, that the action's great and there is English announcing too. Just be really persistent about it. I want more of our roster to travel abroad and be seen foreign fans, so that it isn't just me or Okada or whomever. So if really like all of us to have a international tour, packaged as New Japan and not something else. It starts with people knowing what NJPW is. Knowing who our wrestlers are, what they do. People see a video or two and it makes matches much more significant because they recognize people, moves, everything. That is incredibly important work for World right now. It's a natural direction to look more globally and our talent to go through the dojo into our ring .. have a level of talent that makes them competitive on global stage. So I really want us to broaden our horizon going forward."

Zitat:"I'm not young anymore so I really don't go on these tours for the thrill of travel. I look a lot at moves and different things guys do, think about wether they could work in Japan or to make them work. And I look at wrestlers too, at who would be good in Japan, who we might want to bring over. Right now, I'm really impressed by Dalton Castle. He's come to Japan before, but he is a guy that can really go far. He has this regal like character with his Boys, but you really watch him and everything he does is very crisp, he has a good look, has good facial expressions. He's really on track to be the ace of ROH."

Zitat:"I'm really happy to hear that, I am .. but .. Why me and not Okada? That's my humility talking ... Respect from fans is obviously a wonderful thing, but respect from your peers, your fellow wrestlers is the peak. When you have people saying they want to wrestle you, or team with you, it means so much. Being popular with fans is wonderful, but that can come and go perhaps, but the respect of your peers is such a big thing. Then there is invisible politics that comes with that. I read once in a newspaper that nobody could touch my backstage political stroke. Honestly, factually, I have no political stroke at all! I'm a wrestler, that's not a thing to worry about."

Zitat:Bushi: "Hey Kushida! Title match soon. You like to think you pull the juniors in this company along by yourself? I'm not you! I didn't win BOSJ, lost in the first round of the Super-J. Maybe they think Kushida pulls the place, the main event along .. that it doesn't matter who challenges him. But I'm going to heat things up from here. I'm not him.He'll see. Enserio-Really."

Zitat:Naito: "The guy with this who respects the belt and this company so much, Elgin? Well he has energy, I'll give him that. I never once said I wanted the IC belt. IWGP title is at the top of my priorities, but if the belt calls to me, that's fine."
