[Rilascio su YouTube! ]”Because it looked simple and interesting” A shocking aspect! Jake Lee Confronts the Real Reason He Chose NOAH! | Pro Wrestling Noah Official Site | OFFICIAL SITE OF PRO-WRESTLING NOAH

Jake Lee suddenly appeared after the match between Jack Morris and Timothy Thatcher at the Nippon Budokan tournament on January 1, 2023, and made a shocking appearance shaking hands with the victorious Jack Morris. Immediately, it was decided that Yoshiki Inamura would compete in the main event at Korakuen Hall on the afternoon of the 8th.

[Intervista a Jake Lee]

―― First of all, why did you choose NOAH’s ring as your next battleground?

JAKE: It’s very simple. It looked interesting. There are many players in NOAH who have never tried it before. That’s the main reason.”

――When did you start thinking about jumping to All Japan again?

JAKE: It’s been 2-3 years, but at the same time, I always think about what kind of role I can play in the 50th anniversary of (All Japan Pro-Wrestling). that time, but when I celebrated my 50th anniversary, I thought, ‘I want to wrestle various wrestlers.’ I want to try. It’s a very simple feeling.”

――That’s why I chose NOAH. I haven’t had any contact with them until now, but what is your impression of NOAH?

▼JAKE “I still have a picture of Mr. Misawa, and the next thing that pops up is CyberAgent, ABEMA. That’s the keyword.”

――So, have you seen NOAH’s current fight? ?

▼Jake “No, I was watching it.

――What a surprise Even so, it was surprising to suddenly shake hands with Jack Morris.

▼Jake “Is that it? I think you’ll understand why after a while.

――You said: “There are many interesting players”, but what kind of players are you interested in?

▼JAKE “The first name that comes to mind is Katsuhiko Nakajima. When I played with Tetsuya Endo of DDT (*Cyber ​​​​Fight Festival last year), Endo yelled at me. Right? The atmosphere at that time he was like, “Don’t touch me” and keep your distance (from what happened). I was like, “Why is Nakajima here in Kongo?” How are you feeling?”

――What do you think of Kaito Kiyomiya, the current GHC Heavyweight Champion?

JAKE: Why is he so gloomy? The image of a smiling face just doesn’t come to mind. He’s supposed to be a champion with a baby face and he’s loved by everyone, but why does he always have wrinkles on his forehead? I thought, “You have to stay close to me…” That image was strong. If you furrowed your eyebrows and made a stern face, all the kids would run away, right? If you were the champion of babyface, smile more What if? “

–It’s hard enough…

JAKE: Maybe I can’t afford it. If I can’t afford it, then why don’t we go get that belt? I’m sure there will be many different reactions.

――Not only do you know NOAH, but I feel you are deeply involved in the sensitive parts…

Jake: “You guys don’t like this? (laughs) I’m thinking, ‘Is it okay to leave it as it is?’ It’s something that never goes away. So wouldn’t it be great if you could take the opportunity to turn that into something?”

――Does this mean you will attend NOAH with a no taboo attitude?

JAKE: I’m just saying what I’m thinking. “If I do, what will happen?” or “If I do, it will be better.” It’s not even a line of sight.”

――A singles match with Yoshiki Inamura was decided at the Korakuen Tournament on January 8, which will be Noah’s first entry.

Jake: “He made the right choice. I’m fine now. Fighting me will get more attention. I said it at the Budokan, but I’m just saying it. I think he wants an “opportunity”. It was January 1st at the Budokan. I also checked his match, and he certainly won. I managed to win, but then? Was something born? I don’t know what he thinks.”

――What is your impression of Yoshiki Inamura, a wrestler?

▼Jake “Hmm…the strongest man in the world (laughs)”

――As you well know, the image of a giant tire is…

▼Jake “Yes (laughs) It’s nice to see him.

――What kind of match do you think your match against Inamura will be?

Jake: “I just have an image of myself winning, but I don’t want it to feel like ‘I just won’.”

――What kind of impact do you want to leave just for one new step?

▼Jake “What I have that NOAH players don’t have is my height (192cm). Size. Compared to other teams, there are a lot of smaller athletes. fast moving, “size” matters a lot and that alone can change your perspective.

――“Various things” has a deep meaning.

JAKE: I definitely want to play against multiple players, but it’s boring. I have something to say. I’m thinking of saying it at another time, not now.”

――What kind of chemical reaction will arise when you come to NOAH?

JAKE: Yeah. No matter what, you won’t know until you try it. I have anxiety and tension all the time, so I feel a lot of tingling, and conversely, it’s fun.

――By the way, there are many units in NOAH. Are there any units that interest you? Thinking of making your own?

JAKE: Well, when you get into Kongo, it’s just a mess with so many people. Why do you think you don’t belong?”

――Please tell us if there is anything you want to achieve with NOAH.

JAKE: I’ve listed some players that I’m interested in, but I’m sure there will be other players that I’m interested in as well. Well, I think it’s Mr. Marufuji. I haven’t dared to do it so far I mentioned his name, but I think if we face each other something will definitely happen. Something will happen to my heart.”

――Does that mean you can’t wait what kind of emotion that “something” is?

JAKE: Yes. If you interact with other athletes, not just Marufuji, I think you will be able to create new emotions in your heart. I hope we can face each other firmly.”

——And you also said, “I won’t be here forever.”

JAKE: If you take it as it is, I’m not thinking about burying my bones here (NOAH) or anything like that. I think I’ll leave the story when I think ‘next time’ when I’m shooting a story. So come see it now.

――Finally, do you have a message for your fans?

Jake: Happy New Year to all of you. No, I’m sure.
