Satoshi Kojima Comments On Advancing To The 2nd Round Of The AJPW Royal Road Tournament
The All Japan Pro-Wrestling 10th annual Royal Road Tournament began with opening night action on August 19th at Korakuen Hall.
One of the participants, NJPW legend Satoshi Kojima faced Rei Saito in a first round match up of the single elimination Royal Road tournament. Despite admitting that his career is in decline, Kojima was able to defeat Saito and move on to the second round of the Royal Road.
Backstage after his victory, Kojima made these comments:
I’m fighting only to survive in this ring. Since I came to All Japan Pro Wrestling, the only way to stay in the ring is to win. No matter how tough or tough our opponents are, we are playing with a strong feeling that we must win, and we will never give up until the end.
Kojima will face Takuya Nomura in the second round of the tournament on August 22nd.
