Jay White was recently interviewed by the official website of New Japan Pro Wrestling. During the discussion, he talked about the G1 Climax Tournament, and more.
Below are some highlights.
Jay White on his upcoming match with Kazuchika Okada:
I guess it’ll be a little poetic, won’t it. It all comes around. I was supposed to face Okada in the New Japan Cup before that all went tits up, but now it’s an even more poetic situation. I get to beat him in the same building where I shocked the world in probably the most important moment in pro-wrestling history.
Well Yujiro has stepped his game up this year. That’s the thing with BULLET CLUB, we’re all ready to step our games up when it’s needed. Maybe Okada is realizing that he doesn’t belong in the title picture anymore, and that’s why he’s been doing this goofy KOPW 2020 stuff. He knows that he doesn’t cut it, which is what I’ve known for a long time.
Jay White on his upcoming match with Will Ospreay:
Now he’s a heavyweight. I know. We all know. You know why? Because he doesn’t shut the f*** up about it. Congratulations Will, you found where the weight room is. You realized you’re supposed to have muscle and not look like a scrawny dweeb. But just putting on weight doesn’t equate to you being good enough to beat me, and I’ll show you that in our match.
Jay White on his upcoming match with Kota Ibushi:
As I said, I didn’t know this schedule before we started this interview, but I don’t really care about Ibushi or any of the other people in this tournament. It’s just one match at a time, for two points time. I look at every match the same. But what happened last time me and Ibushi met? So that should put me at the front of the line when it comes to contenders, but no, I have to prove once again why I’m at the front of the line by going through the G1. It’s not a rubber match to me. Maybe you like to look at it that way, to put a special meaning to it, but it’s just another match to get me two points in my book.
