VICTORY SPEECH

MINORU SUZUKI: "Listen up, you maggots! Tonight, you witnessed what happens when the so-called 'Rainmaker' steps into the ring with the King of Pancrase, the wrestling king- Minoru Suzuki! Kazuchika Okada, you thought you could weather the storm, but in the end, you found out that your little rainmaker can't wash away the darkness that engulfs me!"

"I don't need your cheers, your applause, or your adoration. I came here to win, and that's exactly what I did. I put Okada to sleep with the Suzuki-gun style, and I did it with absolute precision. I am tied for first place, and I don't plan on letting go of that spot. Tanahashi, you better mind your steps, because I'm not going to lose any of my remaining matches, and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it!"

"And as for Hangman Page... you're next. I don't care about your cowboy antics or your little tricks. You'll find out why they call me everything that they call me. I'll break you down, piece by piece, just like I did with Okada. Suzuki-gun is on the rise, and no one can stop us! Suzuki-gun ICHIBAN!"

PRESS CONFERENCE

MINORU SUZUKI: "Tonight was just a taste of what's to come. Okada was a formidable opponent, but in the end, he succumbed to the inevitability of the Suzuki-gun style. As for Tanahashi, he may be at the top for now, but he should know that the King is right behind him. I'll be watching his every move."

"As for Hangman Page, he's just another obstacle in my path. I don't care about his reputation or his popularity. When we step into that ring, it's a matter of survival, and I thrive in that environment. Page, you can try to hang me out to dry, but remember, I'm the one who dictates the pace in that ring. You're in for a world of pain."

[He would then stare down the reporters, daring them to ask more questions before leaving the press conference with an air of menace.]
