Kashima: "Everyone in Shimane, we won! We got beaten up pretty badly and it was pretty embarrassing, wasn't it? But we won in the end, so that's all that matters. It's been three years since we last had a show in Shimane, and I've really wanted to come back to Shimane for so long. Finally. But with so many people coming, I don't think I can quit pro wrestling just yet. I don't know if it will be next year or the year after, but we'll definitely have another Shimane show, so everyone please come then! My head's a little stiff, so can I wrap this up? Momo-chan, together. (To Momo) What delicious food have you eaten in Shimane? Soba noodles are famous. Everyone in Shimane, see you again!"
Kashima's comments
"It's been three years since my last Shimane tournament. Three years ago, I challenged for this (artist's) belt, won it in the main event, and now, three years later, I'm back in Shimane as champion. And I even managed to win the main event cleanly. I'm so happy. I was beaten up and looked terrible, but I think I managed to impress everyone in Shimane with what I'm doing now and how hard I'm working. What do you call it? Returning home in glory? I think I managed to do that. I don't know if it'll be next year or the year after, but I'll definitely hold another Shimane tournament and come back to you all, so please keep supporting me until then."
