El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr On Upcoming N-1 VICTORY 2023: My True Worth Will Be Questioned
The Pro Wrestling NOAH N-1 VICTORY 2023 tournament is a little over a week away as it kicks off on August 6th at the Yokohama Budokan. There are 16 participants broken into 2 blocks, A & B, with 8 wrestlers in each block. The winner of each block are set to meet on September 3rd at Edion Arena Osaka 1st Stadium to determine who will be the winner of the N-1 VICTORY 2023.
One of the participants in the B Block this year is the current GHC National Champion El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Junior. Wanibooks-Newscrunch.com caught up with El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr as the discussed the upcoming NOAH N-1 Victory 2023.
El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr commented on as GHC National Champion, his true worth will be questioned in the N-1 VICTORY 2023:
The first time I participated in the N-1 was when I first came to Noah, so I had to experience at all. But, after gaining various experiences, I am participating as the National Champion this time. I fully understand that my true worth will be questioned.
El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr also explained why he will be wrestling in the N-1 for the first time wearing a white mask:
My grandfather, father, and uncle all wore white masks. That’s the tradition of the Wagner family, so this time I’m wearing this white mask in honor of the family. My grandfather’s mask only had a design on the border and ears. It used to be a simple white mask, but with the awareness of incorporating new culture, it has changed since my fathers time by adding Mexican civilization designs and adding colors. I wear the Mexican Tricolor (green, white and red) for big events. In the summer I wear pink, and when I’m in a bad mood I wear black. I wear a variety of masks, but the white mask I will wear in the N-1 this time has a Toltec civilization design.
In his opening N-1 match on August 6th, El Hijo Del Dr. Wagner Jr is scheduled to face Daiki Inaba.
