VICTORY SPEECH

KOTA IBUSHI: ""Thank you, Yurakuen! Tonight was a war, and I want to give a huge shoutout to Hirooki Goto. He's one tough competitor, and it was an honor to share the ring with him. The G1 Climax is a journey, a rollercoaster of emotions, and tonight was no exception.

Right now, we find ourselves in a five-way tie with six points. This tournament is relentless, and every match is crucial. The competition is fierce, and the unpredictability is what makes it so special. I want to thank each and every one of you for being here, supporting us on this incredible ride. The journey is far from over, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Now, my focus turns to Tetsuya Naito. He's at the top of the leaderboard with eight points, and that match is going to be a battle. But that's what we're here for – to give you the best, most hard-hitting action. Get ready for it, because Ibushi vs. Naito is going to be something special. Thank you, and let's keep this G1 Climax rolling!"

PRESS CONFERENCE

KOTA IBUSHI: "Tonight's match with Goto was grueling. He brought everything he had, and I had to dig deep to secure the win. That Rapid German Suplex was just one of those moments where everything clicked, and I'm glad I could pull it off.

The G1 Climax is a test of endurance, both physically and mentally. Right now, we're in a tight race, and every point matters. Facing Naito in the next match is a big challenge. He's at the top with eight points, and I know it won't be an easy task. But that's the beauty of the G1 – facing the best and proving yourself.

I'm feeling good, physically. These matches take a toll, but that's part of the game. As for Naito, I respect him as a competitor, but when we step into that ring, it's all business. I'm ready for the challenge, and I'm confident that I can come out on top. Thank you all for your support, and let's keep this G1 journey going strong!"
