Alex Kane wasn’t upset about dropping his MLW World Title
At MLW Superfight this year, Satoshi Kojima challenged Alex Kane for the MLW World Championship. In a shocking turn of events, the Japanese legend pinned Alex Kane to become the champion for the second time in his career.
This gave Kojima the record of being the only man to hold the original and current MLW World title. It was a hugely shocking moment, and one that Alex Kane is very happy with.
Alex Kane spoke with Andrew Thompson on YouTube, where he discussed losing the MLW World Title to Satoshi Kojima.
He revealed that the Japanese legend was really nice and respectful, and even watched his matches beforehand, which helped them “make magic” in the ring.
“It was cool (wrestling Satoshi Kojima at MLW SuperFight). The crazy thing to me was I was so nervous about putting the match together. I literally strolled in. Kojima was there. Kojima is so nice to me, he’s always been so nice to me. He’s always been very respectful of me as I’ve been of him.”
“He always compliments my gear, he thinks my gear is amazing and I love it and then we text a little on Twitter sometimes but, besides that, Kojima, he actually watched my stuff. He watched my stuff, he put it together, he knew what my big moves were and stuff like that. We put it together, we went out there, I thought we made magic.
Alex Kane Liked How Nobody Saw The Title Change Coming
Alex Kane continued, sharing that his favorite part of the title change was the surprise factor, and that nobody saw it coming.
He added that his goal was never to be the longest reigning champion, but simply to make an impact. It is clear from the reaction to losing the belt that he did just that.
“The thing I liked the most about that title change was nobody saw it coming, and people were audibly shocked that it happened. I could hear, laying there after being pinned and just hearing the crowd or whatever, it was just silence for a little bit. They came back up to celebrate, but it was silence. They were like, holy sh*t, that really happened.”
“So, and then I also think that I was champ for long enough. I never said to anybody, like, I wanna be the longest-reigning — it was on the list of Bomaye but, that’s a gimmick. But, in real life, I never wanted it to be super long. I just wanted it to make an impact… and I think that it did that or whatever. It was a very memorable title reign, very memorable stories and when I win it again, that’s what I want too.”
