Lee Moriarty says that he would love to compete at Wrestle Dynasty, noting that competing in Japan is his ultimate career goal. The ROH Pure Champion spoke with Fightful’s Grapsody podcast ahead of tonight’s Final Battle and was asked about possibly appearing at the crossover event early next month.
“My dream, my ultimate goal in pro wrestling, is to wrestle in Japan,” Moriarty said. “That is because I appreciate the art form, the dedication they have to this sport, the care they have, the passion the fans have. I remember watching old Japanese wrestling, seeing fans cry in the crowd. The way they screamed. The emotional connection they have the heart these athletes have going through the dojo system to the care and value they put on pro wrestling. That’s a very important thing for me.”
He continued, “One of the reasons I chose to join AEW is because they are very supportive of that goal of mine. It’ll come when the time is right. Just like me having the opportunity to fight on pay-per-view came when the time was right. My job is to keep working and be prepared for when that time comes.”
Moriarty will defend his title in an open challenge on tonight’s show.
