Following the match as the ring crew & young lions clean up the confetti a clip starts playing of an interview taken earlier today Interviewer: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Tetsuya Endo, the leader of the BURNING stable in DDT, ahead of his highly anticipated match against MAO. Tetsuya, your clash with MAO has been generating a lot of buzz. What are your thoughts heading into this pivotal encounter? Tetsuya Endo: First and foremost, thank you for having me. Now, regarding the match with MAO, it's no secret that MAO is an unorthodox and unpredictable competitor. But you see, in BURNING, we thrive on challenges. We welcome chaos and turn it into our advantage. MAO may be unpredictable, but I've studied his movements, his tendencies, and I've formulated a strategy to counteract his unpredictability. Interviewer: MAO is known for his high-flying and unconventional style. How do you plan to ground such an unpredictable opponent? Tetsuya Endo: MAO's unpredictability is both his strength and his weakness. While he may catch opponents off guard, he also opens himself up to calculated strategies. In our upcoming match, I'll use a combination of technical expertise and strategic thinking to ground him. Every high-flying move will be met with a calculated counter, every unpredictable maneuver will be anticipated. BURNING will bring order to the chaos. Interviewer: The BURNING stable has been a dominant force in DDT. How does the stable factor into your mindset heading into this match? Tetsuya Endo: BURNING is not just a stable; it's a brotherhood, a force to be reckoned with. As the leader, my success reflects the success of BURNING. When I step into that ring, I carry the expectations and pride of my stable with me. We've faced challenges before, and each time, we've emerged stronger. MAO may think he's stepping into the ring against one man, but in reality, he's facing the collective strength and strategy of BURNING. Interviewer: MAO has been vocal about his desire to prove himself, especially against a leader like you. Do you have any words for him ahead of your match? Tetsuya Endo: MAO is a talented individual, no doubt about it. But talent alone doesn't guarantee success, especially when facing someone like me. MAO, if you think you can prove yourself by taking on the leader of BURNING, you're in for a reality check. This match isn't just about proving yourself; it's about realizing the difference between unpredictability and calculated strategy. Get ready for a lesson in the art of wrestling, MAO. Interviewer: Strong words from Tetsuya Endo as he prepares for his clash with MAO. Thank you for your time, Tetsuya, and best of luck in your match. Tetsuya Endo: Thank you. The pleasure is mine, and mark my words, after the match, everyone will understand why BURNING stands at the top of DDT. Interviewer: We're here with MAO ahead of his upcoming match against Tetsuya Endo. MAO, this match has generated a lot of anticipation. What are your thoughts heading into this clash with the leader of BURNING? MAO: First off, thanks for having me. Tetsuya Endo, the leader of BURNING, is undoubtedly a formidable opponent. His technical prowess, strategic mind, and the backing of the BURNING stable make him a tough challenge. But I thrive on challenges, and facing someone of Endo's caliber is an opportunity to prove that the unpredictable can overcome even the most calculated strategies. Interviewer: Tetsuya Endo has mentioned his plans to ground your high-flying and unpredictable style. How do you plan to counteract his strategy and maintain your unique approach? MAO: Tetsuya may think he has me figured out, but that's where he underestimates me. My style is unpredictable by nature, and I don't need a set plan to execute it. I adapt to the situation, turn chaos into my advantage, and create opportunities others can't foresee. Endo's technical prowess won't matter when I'm soaring through the air, catching him off guard with moves he can't predict. Interviewer: BURNING has been a dominant force in DDT, and Tetsuya Endo has mentioned carrying the expectations of the stable into the match. How do you plan to deal with the collective strength and strategy of BURNING? MAO: BURNING may have its reputation, but I've faced tough opponents and stables before. The thing about unpredictability is that it disrupts even the most well-laid plans. While Endo is busy calculating, I'll be one step ahead, surprising him and the entire stable.
