Hello Internet, this is RyuSensei bringing
you a very special interview
with former AWL Light Heavyweight Champion Ma-Ji-Ku. Before we begin, many thanks to the AWL
Translation Staff for their excellent work providing real time two-way translation
for this interview. Without all of you
this company would fall apart at the seams.
Now on with this special sit down interview:
RyuSensei: Good afternoon Ma-Ji-Ku,
thank you for agreeing to join me today.
First, as everyone who saw AWL 70 knows, you recently lost the AWL Light
Heavyweight Championship to El Rudo Rojo after holding it for nearly two
years. What are your thoughts on your
title reign and how it ended?
Ma-Ji-Ku: Thank you for the
invitation. I must admit to some strongly
mixed feelings. I knew all along that I
would lose the Light Heavyweight Title some day, that's just the nature of any
sport including wrestling. I'm extremely
proud of my time representing the AWL as one of its
champions. I've fought and beaten the
best light heavyweight wrestlers from all over the world. Everyone from Amazing Red, to Tiger Mask, to
Curry Man, to El Santo Azul. Until AWL
70 I was undefeated in my weight class.
I have the longest title reign in modern professional wrestling, not
even CM Punk can claim that.
RyuSensei: But . . .
Ma-Ji-Ku: But I'm frustrated at how
it all ended. El Rudo Rojo was having a
fantastic match. I barely avoided some
of his attacks and DIDN'T avoid most of them.
Truth be told, Rojo probably could have beaten me in a fair fight. But no, he felt he HAD to hit me with a low
blow. I don't mind losing, I can even
move past losing the title, but what I simply can not abide is the fact that a
perfectly able athlete took a shortcut that he didn't need to take!
RyuSensei: Interesting, I expected you
to be, well, angrier than this.
Ma-Ji-Ku: Of course I'm angry. That championship was the crowning
accomplishment of my career, everything I've worked for since I was 14 years
old. But anger serves nothing. Anger doesn't win wrestling matches, skill
does. Wrestling at its best is human
chess and I don't see how giving into anger is going to help me now or in the
future.
RyuSensei: Wise words. But speaking of the future, I'm sure you're
aware that former champions do not get automatic rematches in the AWL and since
you didn't win the Beat the Clock Sprint last weekend, American Beetle is now
the #1 Contender to your former title.
Taking that into account, what are your plans for the future?
Ma-Ji-Ku: At the moment, while I would
love to get back in the ring with El Rudo Rojo, my plans lie outside the Light
Heavyweight Division. I'm currently the
#1 Contender to the AWL World Heavyweight Title and if any accomplishment could
possibly top being Light Heavyweight Champion for so long, it would be
dethroning Wonder Kid for the top prize in the AWL. This weekend I take the 10
Minute Challenge. I must but the chaos
of my recent past behind me and focus on the task before me.
RyuSensei: I'm sure all the AWL fans are
looking forward to you providing a true
challenge for Wonder Kid. But does this
mean you are finished with the Light Heavyweight Division?
Ma-Ji-Ku: For the time being, yes. But I'll be back. El Rudo Rojo and I have a score to settle and
one day I will show him the error of his ways.
RyuSensei: Thank you very much for your
time Ma-Ji-Ku. For the Animated
Wrestling League, this is RyuSensei. See
you this weekend for AWL 72.
