Planeta Wrestling held a recent interview with Hirooki Goto. One of the topics discussed included Goto’s thoughts about his recent in-ring return and recovery from an elbow injury.
“The recovery process was hard work, but it was a complete success. The arm is 100% now.
It was a real shame not to be in the G1 though. I think there were a lot of fans who wanted to see me catch up to the most G1 entries streak, so to have that stop was a shame.”
Goto also gave his thoughts about who he would like to share the ring with at the Tokyo Dome for next year’s NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 20 event.
“My first goal is to become champion again. That’s top priority for me. Then at the Tokyo Dome, I’d like to fight anybody that jumped over from here to AEW. That includes Shibata.”
Goto also gave his thoughts about his recent filming work for the upcoming new live action Street Fighter film. Goto portrays the role of E. Honda in the upcoming film.
“I can’t say too much about the shooting process right now, but I can say I had an amazing time. It was an incredible experience, I didn’t want it to end.”
