Anthony Greene comments on his time in NOAH.
After a stint in Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, former WWE Superstar Anthony Greene will be debuting in Major League Wrestling as part of the 40-Man Battle Riot on April 5. To promote the upcoming debut, Greene appeared on Fightful Overbooked's In The Weeds and spoke with Jeremy Lambert and SP3.
Discussing his time in Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, Greene reflected on the opportunity he got to wrestle Masato Tanaka, being part of the Good Looking Guys with Jack Morris and Jake Lee, and his time as one-half of the GHC Tag Team Champions.
"One of the coolest things I got to do was have a singles match with Masato Tanaka, mind-blowing for me. That was my first tour. My first time wrestling in Korakuen Hall, I got to wrestle Satoshi Kojima. From then on, after my first tour, I was home for four months and not sure I was going back. Then I got the call, ‘Hey, we have plans for you,’ but they would not tell me what the plan was. All they said was, ‘Bring black and white gear. Dark gear.’ When I arrived at the airport, they were very specific. ‘Please exit through this door, have nice clothes on and be prepared to be filmed.’ As I walked through, I see a camera on me, and I look to my left and I see Jack Morris and Jake Lee," he said.
"I was gifted the first official Good Looking Guys t-shirt. From there, it was like a rocket was strapped to us. We made our debut as a team at Yokohama Arena in front of 8,000 people at Great Muta’s retirement show. A month later, we’re wrestling in front of over 30,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome. Jake Lee goes on to win the Heavyweight Championship and a few months later, me and Jack become the GHC Tag Team Champions. I didn’t see that happening anytime soon. I thought that was something that would take time and within nine months of the faction existing, him and I were tag champs and the fifth longest reigning tag team champions."
