Japanese pro wrestling legend Tetsuya Naito discussed various topics with Monthly Puroresu, including how much time he has left in his wrestling career.
Naito said, “That’s something I wish I could know myself. But whatever happens, it won’t change what I do inside the ring. I’ll continue to show the fans around the world my wrestling style.”
On when he decided to leave NJPW:
“I’ve always had doubts and dissatisfaction with New Japan. I made the decision in January or February this year.”
On the New Japan dojo:
“I definitely think the dojo is wonderful, however… There was a period where they neglected the training of wrestlers, and I think that has ended up having a big impact now.”
On if he has been in contact with AEW:
“Kenny, Matt, Nick – unfortunately I don’t have their contact information, and I never contacted them myself. I haven’t been in touch with anyone at AEW at all, unfortunately. Aren’t they surprised at the news of Naito becoming a freelancer?”
