In a recent interview with New Japan Pro Wrestling’s official website, Hikuleo discussed several topics, including being part of the upcoming NJPW G1 CLIMAX 33 Tournament.

“I remember when Tama got that call to be in his first G1, I was there, I remember how excited he was and then, his work ethic toward the tournament itself, I didn’t truly understand it until I came to Japan myself and saw how guys would train so differently to the rest of the year.

This is where you really prove youself and show your stuff as a Singles competitor. My name hasn’t been brought up in any of this conversation around the new generation around here, people already know my name, but they’ll be saying it a lot more once this tournament is done.”
