>I rarely talk about pro wrestling or moves, so this will be a one-time thing. Officially, my move is the "Running Neckbreaker." I don’t use many moves. Besides bowing, I use the Sleeper Hold and Dropkick. Some of you watching might be expecting me to add new moves to my repertoire. Others might have even said, “You need to train harder.” But is it wrong to keep working on improving the moves I already have? Does that mean I don’t want to win? I feel strongly about taking the techniques I have now and using them with pride. Of course, I want to expand my abilities and grow stronger, too. For example, I couldn’t do a Dropkick at all before debuting. At the time, I just couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t do anything else, either. But right before my debut, I finally got it. I remember thinking, “Ah, maybe this is the one thing God gave me to save me from being completely hopeless.” It’s an exaggeration, but that’s truly how I felt. Even now, I keep striving to make my dropkick better.
>I’ve also been using the Sleeper Hold since my debut. Whenever I apply it, I’ve only ever had one thought: I want to win. I’ve never used it for any other reason. Over time, I’ve worked on perfecting the form and execution. I’m not doing it to lose. That’s how much this move means to me. And the one time I won with it, it felt so different—it made me even happier than I imagined. But for a long time, I felt responsible for turning the Sleeper into a move that “couldn’t win.” I lost all confidence in everything I was doing. But on October 13, when I finally won using the Sleeper, I realized: maybe I could make this move part of what makes me, me. Even though people keep saying, “The Sleeper doesn’t go anywhere,” I have no intention of giving it up anytime soon.
