The stars of Japanese wrestling recently accepted their 2017 Tokyo Awards, which featured Tetsuya Naito winning pro wrestling MVP for the second year in a row. During his acceptance speech, Naito said winning MVP again shows hes bigger than the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Here are highlights, courtesy of wrestlinginc.com

 

Representing New Japan Pro Wrestling and Los Ingobernables de Japon, your Tokyo Sports MVP is Tetsuya Naito. Id like to thank the Tokyo Sports editorial board for naming me MVP. A lot of people saw me and Los Ingobernables de Japon as a flash in the pan, that just as quickly as we got popular, itd all be over. Yet here I am, only the fifth in history to win this award two years straight. And I did this in a year where the IWGP champion held his belt from start to finish. What that means is that I exist on another plane. It means that Tetsuya Naito is bigger than the IWGP Championship. Thats not arrogance talking; thats something that Ive proven to everyone.

Saw a bunch of fatties bitching about Naito and claiming that he is going into business for himself by saying he is above the title.

Probably the same fatties who bitched because he was "devaluing"the IC belt. *Censored* them.

 

Nah. They're right #BuyIntoTheKayfabe
