- Hiroshi Tanahashi spoke on local radio (@sumidab) about IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega's inability to tell a story with "traditional Japanese narratives," saying the last five minutes is all that matters because there is no story. Translated by @TheLionMarks, Tanahashi continued that he appreciated the Bullet Club's first leaders, Prince Devitt and AJ Styles, because they were dedicated to the group while Kenny tries to own everything he does. Tanahashi currently has the Tokyo Dome title opportunity from the G1 Climax to face Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 13 in January.
.@tanahashi1_100 says "Kenny's puroresu is like watching a movie with no Kishotenketsu (dramatic arc of traditional Japanese narratives)." He feels that the last 5 minutes of a Kenny match is all that matters, because there's no story. – Via @sumidab local radio. #njpw #goace

.@tanahashi1_100 respected Bullet Club's 1st and 2nd leaders, Price Devitt and AJ Styles, because they were completely dedicated to Bullet Club. Tanahshi doesn't like Kenny's attitude on trying to own everything. – Via @sumidab local radio. #njpw #goace #aceage
