Quoted By:
>You are not a champion. Momo Watanabe (22), aka "Black Peach" of women's pro wrestling "Stardom," has harshly criticized Wonder Champion Saya Kamitani (26).
>The two will clash on February 4 for the same title at the Edion Arena Osaka No. 1 Stadium. Watanabe held the record for the most defenses of the title, "V13," but he reluctantly accepted a challenge from Kamitani, who had tied the record at the Nagoya event on February 8, to be the next challenger.
>Watanabe, who never intended to challenge, questioned Kamitani's qualifications as a champion. He said, "I think he is lacking in many areas, but first of all, he lacks confidence." He then denounced Uetani for being obsessed with the number of times he has defended his title and for being too thin-skinned to convey anything just because he can use beautiful techniques.
>There is another reason for his reluctance to challenge. Watanabe's goal is not to win the Wonder Title, but to win his first World Title (currently held by Julia), the red belt he failed to win in his challenge last July.
>Therefore, "I don't think of it as anything more than a stepping stone to the red belt, so I don't think I'll hold on to it," he said. I'm not even going to hold on to it. Or maybe I want to win the red belt as well and win two championships. Then it wouldn't be a loss to have it. Well, it depends on how I feel after the match with Kamitani.
>I'll show him the reality that it is not enough to have a lot of defenses," said the former White Queen. The former queen of white will clasp the wings of the phoenix.
