Anna Jay talks her upcoming trip to Japan for the STARDOM 5Star GP.
On July 27th, STARDOM would announce Risa Sera and AEW's Anna Jay as the mystery participants in this year's 5Star Grand Prix. Jay will feature in the Blue Stars A Block along with STARDOM names such as Syuri, Starlight Kid, Xena and more.
On Saturday, STARDOM posted a promo from Anna Jay where she would preview her upcoming appearance in the promotion.
"Hi guys, Anna Jay here and I just wanna say how excited and honored I am to be competing in this year's Five Star Grand Prix tournament. It's something I never thought I was gonna be able to do and now we're here and now it's happening and it's literally next week. So I'm so excited, like I said, I'm so honored to be doing so. Girls like Toni Storm, Mariah May, people that I work with and see on a weekly basis who I admire have benefited tremendously from working with stardom. So to have that opportunity obviously means a lot to me and I cannot wait to take advantage of it. I've never been to Japan. That's also just a bucket list destination in itself. So to be able to go to Japan, wrestle, which is my dream, is an incredible opportunity and I cannot wait. I cannot wait to also taste a coffee in Japan. That is something I'm really looking forward to because I drink coffee every morning. I need it. So I'm really looking forward to trying that. And I'm also looking forward to trying, I think it's called Fruit Sandos. I don't really know if that's the correct term for it, but it's just fruit in a sandwich with whipped cream. I don't know, I've been seeing it online for the past five years, and I have been craving one ever since. So I need one."
Jay continued, noting her personal goals for the tournament.
"As for my personal goals within this tournament, obviously, I just want to get better as a wrestler, better as a performer, and hone my craft as much as I can in the time that I'm there. Something I'm also setting a goal for myself is to be in the finals. Whether or not that's a far reach or not, I don't care. We all have to have goals and dreams. So that is my goal. My goal is to face AZM. That would be a dream come true as well. AZM is somebody I know, somebody who is my friend. I wouldn't want to face her in a malicious way. It would be out of respect. She is somebody that I would love to be in the ring with, somebody that I would love to have the opportunity to work with. That is the goal that I'm setting for myself. Another person that I thought I might face this trip was Mina. You know, I've faced her already a few times and whether or not it's ended up good for me or not, I thought I might have the opportunity again on her turf. Now here we are, she's not in the tournament and it leaves me to think, are you scared Mina? What's going on? Where are you? Regardless, I will be there soon. I think I'll be seeing you whether it's in the ring or not. As for everyone else, I cannot wait for this opportunity. I cannot wait to be in Japan. The star of the show. We'll be seeing you next week."
