Top NJPW Star Tama Tonga was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet on a number of topics including his accomplishments as a tag team wrestler and wanting to see what he can do as a singles competitor.
Tama Tonga said that he has accomplished everything as a tag team wrestler and he is a 6-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champion and he really doesn’t want to reach 10. Tonga also said that he wants to see what he can do as a singles competitor.
This is what Tama Tonga said:
“Yeah, I think it’s time.” “I’ve accomplished everything as a tag team wrestler. I’m a 6-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champ and I really don’t want to reach 10. I’ve proved it 6 times, and I want to see what I can do as a singles competitor.”
Tama Tonga then said that there is only one goal as a singles competitor and he thinks it should be everybody’s goal and that is to be the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
This is what Tama Tonga said:
“There’s only one goal and I think it should be everybody’s goal.” “If you’re going to be a singles competitor, it’s to be the IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Anything is s–t – if you’re not first, you’re last. That’s it. Y’all can keep your Intercontinental, y’all can keep your U.S title, ya’ll can keep your NEVER [Openweight Championship]. I’ll never be that because I don’t want to be a fu–ing never champion. Keep all that s–t, and I think if you want to be the man, you got to be the man. And the man is to be the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.”
Tama Tonga then said that he is open to making an appearance for AEW and money talks so if AEW wants him, they should show him the money.
This is what Tama Tonga said:
“I don’t want to say no to anything because you just never know, and I’m always open to ideas.” “I’m open to anything and, you know, money talks, baby! Money talks! Money does all the talking right now, so, AEW wants to move that route? Show me the money!”
