Tetsuya Naito has no interest in facing off against Bryan Danielson.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the NJPW star commented on possibly inviting Danielson to join Los Ingobernables de Japon, a potential match between himself and Danielson, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Bryan Danielson: “Back in the day when he wrestled in NJPW, I’d watch his matches on TV and in the buildings. I liked watching him, but I never really felt that I’d like to wrestle him.”
On possibly inviting Danielson to join Los Ingobernables de Japon: “Invite him to LIJ? That is an easy answer. No gracias.”
On a possible LIJ vs. Blackpool Combat Club match: “I don’t really know about the state of wrestling in other countries, so I don’t know if that’s an attractive match, but if it were a question of us challenging them, of course they would accept. There is no more attractive competition in the world than Los Ingobernables de Japon.”
