In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Naomichi Marufuji discussed wrestling Will Ospreay at his 25th-anniversary show.
Ospreay defeated the Japanese wrestling legend at the Pro Wrestling NOAH event on September 17th.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On facing Ospreay: “Ospreay was the only one for this match. I think he is the perfection of modern wrestling. He is a great fighter. I think the word ‘genius’ is appropriate for him.”
On potentially working more in the US: “If there is an offer, I would like to go. I think it is a way to increase the overall fanbase, and I want to do something that will lead to the future by giving young people of today a lot of experience outside Japan.”
