Satoshi Kojima tweeted out the following statement on Sunday night, reacting to not being selected for the G1 Climax tournament. He said,
“I did not get chosen for G1. When I was defeated by Takagi, I thought I was not qualified for it. I believe I should have ‘something that meets the company and fan’s expectations’ in order to get into G1, and that was not enough for me at this time. But as I have not announced I will never be in G1, I will do my best to get in next year.”
Ｇ１に選出されず。
鷹木選手に敗退した時点で、資格はないと思っていた。
あと、Ｇ１に出るには「会社やファンが期待する何か」を持っていなきゃダメなんだと思う。
そこが今の私には足りなかった。
でも「もう二度とＧ１に出ない」とは宣言してないので、来年も目指せるように頑張ります。
