Katsuyori Shibata discusses his dream match with Orange Cassidy.
On last week’s AEW Rampage, Shibata took on Orange Cassidy on AEW Rampage last Friday and although he came up short, his match with Orange was applauded by fans across social media.
Speaking to Tokyo Sports, Shibata discussed his match against Orange Cassidy.
“It’s frustrating, really. The result is the same, and I have a lot of things to reflect on in terms of my moves. I felt that I was back on the battlefield, and that the ring is special. Sometimes things go well, and sometimes things don’t go well. I really felt alive. I’ve been looking for a chance for a long time. I thought that if I waited in Japan, I would never get a chance. I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity I have now. I wanted to give it my all. I went there without hesitation,”
