Sportskeeda meets Tama Tonga

Our interview with NJPW Tama Tonga continues below.

So, obviously not right now for very apparent reasons - but you are working in Japan if we look at things from the outside of the coronavirus pandemic. Tama Tonga is currently, I believe, contracted the NJPW. You are one of the OGs of the Bullet Club.

That said, there has been a few things going on with the Bullet Club recently so of course I need to ask you about that because, well, who better to ask?

OK.

A man who recently seems to have joined, someone you actually have defeated earlier this year in a Tag Team Championship match - EVIL.... Was that this year? That was last year!

That was last year.

Time is flying. A year and a half ago! I was thinking that was as recently as this year.

We were feuding for a while! EVIL and Sanada. We were feuding for a while! We've had our eye on EVIL probably since the beginning of this year and you've got to make moves man. Bullet Club has got to make moves for the future.

So, EVIL. For me, the New Japan Cup tournament had been building and building and building. The more it goes in, you go, "I have a feeling that EVIL is going to be the dark horse," so to speak. That turn, the gesture turning in from the too sweet was the greatest thing ever. I need to ask, what were Tama Tonga's thoughts on that moment and how perfectly that was executed?

Oh! I was sitting up, waiting for that moment. I loved it! I LOVED it! That's the stuff that we, Bullet Club, we're known for bringing in guys, especially bringing in controversial guys and he was definitely making that moment controversial.

I've got to say, it splashed all over social media, all over media, so I loved it. Me and EVIL came up together in the system, man, so I know there's a lot there that that can happen with EVIL. He has a lot of talent, unexplored talent, right now so I think Bullet Club is going to be the one that's going to push him straight to the top, man, for sure.
