Takagi on his Forbidden Door match against Bryan Danielson: “This is something that will send shockwaves through the wrestling world.”
A former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Takagi established himself across the globe, most notably in Dragon Gate, before entering New Japan Pro-Wrestling in October of 2018. Throughout his 20-year career, he has quietly paid tribute to one of his greatest influences: the late Owen Hart.
“Back in the day, I actually used to wrestle in a singlet like Owen’s,” said Takagi, speaking through a translator. “That tells you how highly I think of him. He wrestled quite a lot in NJPW, and anyone who has the respect of a legend like Jushin Liger has respect from me.” “Jon Moxley took our IWGP title and defended it in AEW,” said Takagi. “So it would only be right for me to take the AEW belt and defend it in NJPW.”, teaming with Titan and Hiromu Takahashi in a trios bout against Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta. That helped build to his Owen Cup tournament match this Sunday at Forbidden Door–a must-see encounter against Bryan Danielson.
