Minoru Suzuki was recently interviewed by Justin Burrasso of Sports Illustrated, where, through a translator, he spoke about his upcoming match defending the Ring of Honor World Television Championship against Samoa Joe.

“Many fans think this matchup is very special, but for me, I have to stay true to myself. I am here to hurt people. The opponent truly does not matter. This week, I will make Samoa Joe suffer. People are brave until they step into the ring with me. Hopefully, Samoa Joe is not scared. I don’t know him well, but he will know me by the time we are done. I hurt people, that is what I do. Samoa Joe is going to feel a lot of pain.”

Suzuki defends the ROH Television Championship against Samoa Joe this Wednesday on Dynamite.
