Sportskeeda meets Tama Tonga
Our interview with NJPW Tama Tonga continues below.
So, the Bullet Club, of course, are one of the most dominant factions in the history of wrestling, but I think you would forgive me for saying no stranger to power struggles. A lot of different leaders over the years and a lot of people vying for that leadership. There's EVIL here, you've got yourself - Tama Tonga, one of the OGs, one of the few OGs left - and of course there's Jay White as well. Who is the current leader of the Bullet Club?

I said I'd say we all are. I'd say we're working as a team. It's a democracy right now. It's a democracy. We axed out one leader. We always had the reputation of one leader goes out, another one comes in but lately we've... There's never been a time in Bullet Club like right now where, shoot, you've got a guy with two straps, the top two straps in New Japan. How is he not the leader? How is he not...?
But he is our frontman right now. I've got to say we got frontmen. I think that's a better term instead of saying, "Leader". We have frontmen that spearhead the movement right now, so... Who's to say that Fale isn't the leader? I look at him as the leader. How do you know I'm not the leader? I've been in there since day one.
So, Jay White, the man, was the frontman now. He couldn't, you know, right now be in Japan because of the whole situation so we made moves to get us a man to put us in the front, right?
You needed someone to step up! I guess you've got plenty of soldiers on the frontline would be a nice way to put it.
So, I've got one last question for you. The way the situation is right now, I'm guessing Tama Tonga is itching to get back in the wrestling ring. Obviously you've got Tama's Island keeping you busy but when you get back in the ring, I guess you're going to be itching to get back in the ring with someone and they're gonna get a whole lot of brutality coming away. Who's the one person Tama Tonga wants to get back in the ring with?
I don't have a person. I do have a goal. I see that Okada put out a new title. King of Pro-Wrestling title. That serves my interests a lot. I think, "Man, to be the King of Pro-Wrestling. That's a different one." Something new, something I can definitely put my attention and focus to. That's... It's new. 2020, it's a whole new deal going on, man. I think we have a lot of opportunity here, so I wouldn't say a person, I would say a title, and that King of Pro-Wrestling Title looks mighty... Mighty scrumptious.
Ha-ha-ha, scrumptious!
I love that word for it. That's the best word I've heard to determine a title. I think they should rename it to the Scrumptious Title!
The Scrumptious Title!
Thank you so much to Tama Tonga for taking the time to chat with myself. You can follow Tama Tonga here, and the Tama's Island podcast here.
