Tetsuya Naito sees big things for Shota Umino.
The Los Ingobernables de Japon leader and former multi-time IWGP World Champion recently spoke with Sports Illustrated about Umino, as well as how he hopes to spread LIJ’s greatness around to more people. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
Hopes to spread Los Ingobernables de Japon to more people around the world:
That is the best way to repay my benefactors, Sombra and Rush, who led me to Los Ingobernables. I want to spread the name of Tetsuya Naito and Los Ingobernables de Japon to more and more people.
On Shota Umino:
I think Shota is a great wrestler, and it’s very possible he’ll be a star in a few years. That is why I want to make him realize the difference with the current top players in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and then let him down. I think that is absolutely necessary for the future of New Japan.
