VICTORY SPEECH

KAZUCHIKA OKADA: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here tonight! What a fantastic match we just witnessed against Togi Makabe. It's always a tough battle when you step into the ring with someone as formidable as Makabe. Tonight, “The Rainmaker” came out on top, and I want to thank each and every one of you for your support. Your energy fuels me in that ring, and it's an honor to perform for such an incredible audience.

Now, looking ahead, the G1 Climax is in full swing, and I find myself in a three-way tie for second place. Every match is crucial, and I know I've got a big challenge ahead of me in YOSHI-HASHI. He's been on fire in this tournament and his career as of late, but I'm ready for the challenge. I'm determined to give it my all, just as I did tonight, and come out on top. The journey to the top of the G1 standings is a tough one, but with your support, I believe I can make it to the top.

Thank you once again, and get ready for more action because the Rainmaker isn't backing down!"

PRESS CONFERENCE

REPORTER: "Congratulations on your victory tonight, Okada. How are you feeling after that hard-fought match?"

OKADA: "Thank you. It was indeed a tough battle against Makabe, but I'm feeling great. The G1 Climax is all about facing the best of the best, and every win is crucial. Tonight, I earned two more points, bringing my total to four in the tournament so far. I'm in a three-way tie for second place, and I plan to keep climbing up the ranks."

REPORTER: "Next, you'll be facing YOSHI-HASHI, who is currently tied for first place with six points. How do you plan on approaching that match?"

OKADA: "Facing YOSHI-HASHI is no easy task. He's been performing exceptionally well in the G1, and I have a lot of respect for his abilities. But I thrive on challenges, and I'm looking forward to stepping into the ring with him. My goal is to bring my point total from four to six by defeating him. I want to take it one match at a time, stay focused, and ultimately aim for that top spot in the G1 Climax."

REPORTER: "Any final words for the NJPW fans?"

OKADA: "To all the fans out there, thank you for your unwavering support. It means the world to me. Keep watching because the best is yet to come. “The Rainmaker” is on a mission, and I won't stop until I reach the pinnacle of the G1 Climax. Stay tuned, and let's make this journey together!"
