Takashi SUGIURA's comment:
I'm very honored to be able to receive such award and appreciate that my
effort in 2010 was considered for it.
For me, his year has began with the participation fot the Jan.4th New Japan
show participation vs. Youki GOTO
for the GHC Title defense, followed to vs. Togi MAKABE of New Japan, vs.
Yoshihiro TAKAYAMA at Noah's 10th
Year anniversary show, vs. Jun AKIYAMA, vs. Go SHIOZAKI, vs. Chessman in
MEXICO and finally vs. Takeshi
MORISHIMA at 12/5 Budokan show. I am pleased and appreciate that I was
able to defend the title 7 times
this year against all of the great wrestlers. I also believe that not just
the title matches but all of my effort
towards the other matches and support from all of the fans which made this
award possible.
I will continue forward to take one match at a time and put my very best
effort.
Thank you! Takashi SUGIURA [GHC Heavyweight Champion]

Got to chat with Go SHIOZAKI at this past Koraken Hall show! He told me
that he is in his best shape ever and looking forward to be challenging
for the GHC Heavyweight
Title against current Champion Takashi SUGIURA.
SUGIURA has defended his title against very strong opponents such as Y. TAKAYAMA & Jun AKIYAMA.
Go is on the roll now as he has defeated Shinsuke NAKAMURA
of New Japan at Ariake Colosseum show.
Go says he has the plan that will give him the edge to beat SUGIURA and
regain the title at the Nippon Budokan Show Sept 26th.
Best of Luck Go! Ken Hirayama

Ran into Atsushi AOKI and I was able to talked to him.
He had a great singles match against KENTA at this past
Ariake Colosseum show (8/22) although he suffered a
loss against him he should be very proud as I believe that
he was just a hair away from defeating KENTA.
I wanted to ask him of his plan/decision as KENTA asked
him to join him as his partner for the upcoming NTV Cup
Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team League Tournament in October.
He said that he has not yet made up his mind.
I believe that when these two teams up, they will certainly
be one of the best team in the tournament.
Best of Luck Atsushi! Ken Hirayama
