After winning the IWGP Intercontinental Champion at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Power Struggle event, Chris Jericho has been frustrating many members of the NJPW roster (thanks to his now-signature surprise attacks starting since earlier this year), including his upcoming Wrestle Kingdom 13 challenger, Los Ingobernables de Japon’s Tetsuya Naito, who is likely at his wits end. You’ll see why very soon…

After being brutalized to a bloody pulp by Jericho, Naito stated in a later backstage segment on December 9 that he was not only expecting Jericho to show up at the next show, but was looking forward to it. He teased about making the first move, and a couple of nights ago, Naito recorded a promo on his Twitter account — calling out Jericho’s draw and star-appeal, his LIJ/WWE crossover tank top, the creepy Crow makeup Jericho’s been sporting and more –followed by a English-subtitled version on NJPW’s English-language YouTube channel. And I didn’t think I could get any more hyped for Wrestle Kingdom… 😀
