Akira spoke to the media before MLW’s Kings Of The Colosseum live event on Saturday night.
Akira spoke about his time wrestling in Japan, where he ended last year making his DDT debut and went undefeated in BJW during his nearly two-week tour there. His goal for the next time he goes back there is to take the Deathmatch Championship and bring it back to the states and MLW.
When asked about his upcoming title match later and thoughts of re-opening a chapter with Rickey Shane Page and the Calling?
Akira: “The chapter can’t be re-opened if the chapter has remained open and the book was never closed. Even when I win the title tonight, it’s not going to close the chapter. Rickey is going to keep coming because he’s a petty little bitch, no matter how big he is! Tonight is going to be interesting. You want violence, you are going to get ultra-violence.”
Later in the interview, he was asked about his wanting to be in Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport and repeatedly asking for it?
Akira: “Josh, you know me, and we’ve talked about it, let’s do the damn thing! Yo, give me Mox! He keeps ducking me. He can talk about me, but he can’t face me one-on-one. Where you at? If you aren’t going to face me at Bloodsport, then face me in Big Japan. Let’s do smart business for pro wrestling, and I’ll beat the piss out of you in front of those fans. You want to be ultra-violent; BJW is where to do it, if not at Bloodsport!”
It appears the challenge has been laid down by Akira. Will Josh Barnett and Jon Moxley answer it?
