now with that announced, we will now hold a press conference between the 2 main eventers, Jun Akiyama and Kenta Kobashi."
The 2 men walk in, there is no handshake, they just stare at each other for a long time before Hansen gets them to finally sit.
"Alright, ya'll ask awa-"
"Wait just a second Stan, just wait."
Hansen looks at Jun in shock and annoyance, but allows him to speak.
"Ya know Kobashi, I know what we're here for right? For you to give your big speech to these people, say you're gonna save AJPW from me and get your championship right? Before you get to do that, I'm gonna get to say my peace, before you get to be called the hero again."
Kobashi responds by looking over at Jun before giving a simple nod, as a go-ahead.
"Kobashi, what are you exactly to me? Some people said you were my 'big brother' and that you'd protected me, but in reality, the MOMENT I left you, you became a crying wimp and latched onto Kikuchi and won the secondary tag belts with him to keep your big brother role without me. It took you 9 months to get back to me after I took your damn championship, and it only happened because Gary Albright got hurt in the Carnival, you have this shot because of luck, and then, as per usual, Misawa stacks the deck against me! Oh don't get me wrong Kobashi, I've used a lot of dirty tactics, but did I ever cheat to defend this belt here? Nope! I had 4 defenses over this past year and I didn't cheat once. But against you? There are no rules, I'm going to slaughter you in that cell, and retain my championship. Because I'm not your little brother, I'm the new ace of AJPW, not you."
Kobashi would take up a mic and look over at Jun.
"Ya know Jun, everything you've just said was right besides 1 thing, but I'll get to that later. I did project my insecurities onto Kikuchi because I felt like I messed up our friendship somehow, but unlike you, I'm man enough to admit that I did make those mistakes. If you wanted me to take a step back, let you try to win that championship. You could have just asked me for help, to corner you, to do anything but what you've done. You attcked everybody, from Jumbo, to Stan, and you almost attacked Mrs. Baba. You've became someone I don't even recognize. You weren't just a little brother to me, you were a best friend. You threw away all your friends for new ones who are gonna turn on the first chance they get. You threw all that away for some gold, when you didn't have too. I'm not saving AJPW. I'm not doing any of that, because back when you turned on me and spit in my face 9 months ago, I vowed I would drop you on your neck with the Burning Hammer, 9 months ago, you stole the thing I worked for years to earn against my biggest rival, and at the Tokyo Dome, I regain what I never should have lost. Why? Because that's what I do, not for a paycheck, but because I love wrestling, which I thought you did. Oh and by the way,
I AM the new ace of AJPW."
Jun looks down before he sighs out, he stands up and spits in Kobashi's face again.
"I do love wrestling, but I ****ing hate you."
Before anybody can do anything, Kobashi and Akiyama and suddenly throwing punches at each other as security pulls them apart.
"YOU GOT 4 DAYS JUN, 4 MORE DAYS!"
"I GOT AS LONG AS I WANT KOBASHI!!!!"
The final shot is the 2 men staring each other down as security holds them back, the stage has been set for May 1st.
