(日本語訳)
「飯伏~?飯伏~?飯伏どこにいる~?あー、そこにいた!!まあ聞いてくれよ。DDTで8月6日に、お前と対戦するために日本へ行くよ。一本はリング上で二本目は路上だって?飯伏、お前は本当にこの試合形式で俺に勝てると思ってるのか?俺はこの形式でずっと試合をしてきたんだ。お前はかーなーりー話がわかってないな。なぜなら俺は波動拳の使い手だからな。この手を見てみろ。この手を見てみるんだ!波動拳のパワーで燃えているのが見えるだろ?8月6日はリング上だけじゃなく、路上でも勝ってみせるからな。せいぜい日本のファンの前で恥をかくがいいさ。そしてアメリカには戻って来れなくしてやるからな。俺が次のROHスターなんだ。お前じゃない。8月6日を楽しみに待っていてくれ。」
Kenny Omega wrestled at ROH last night against Delirious but he received “Please come back!” call just like Ibushi did.He’s going to wrestle for “off-ring championship” but he’s accepted by ROH fans as well. Everything is so similar to Ibushi!!Now DDT announced his first match but his tag partner is Kenny Ohka…yes, it’s Ohka Ken. Isn’t it funny that Kenny Omega & Kenny Ohka team will wrestle against Hero! & Hero! team?Well, we have ROH Detroit show soon…we’ll get his last interview before going to Japan. Check us back!
You know what?! DDT accepted Kenny Omega’s request – now he’s leaving to Japan right after wrestling at ROH this weekend.He’ll wrestle at DDT in August but we still don’t know when and how Omega will wrestle against Ibushi for the “real champion” of the anywhere match.We’ll let you know details once we find out!
We received an email from Kenny Omega a few days ago. In the mail, he said “I heard Kota Ibushi is now called “king of off-ring match” in Japan. However, I am a king of off-ring match here in North America. I can wrestle anywhere even on concrete roads or McDonald’s. Here I send you my video for the proof that I AM the king so I want Japanese fans to watch it. Now I claim a match against Ibushi!”
We, Manhattan Drop, are huge mark on him as well as Ibushi (we toured with him when he came for ROH back in April), so we were very excited to have the video and uploaded onto our youtube account. Now Ibushi’s promotion, DDT, watched the video and considering his request. We have to wait and see what happens next – we’ll let you know any updates!
