Shingo Takagi knows the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship has not had a good start. However, he wants to be the one to add value to the title.
In a recent interview with njpw1972.com, Takagi talked about what he wants to do to establish the title. In short, he plans to produce results and win. He said:
“I’ve said this before, but it isn’t about what you hold, it’s about who holds it. If there isn’t that color to the belt yet, if there is still that sense that it’s not established yet, well I’ll establish it in my own image. If people can’t see the value in it, then I will create value in it to see. I think the very fact I beat Okada for this at Dominion, the title was elevated a little by my winning it. All I did was fight the way I always do, produce results, and win. But the response that got, about what an achievement that was, it indicated to me that the prestige had been elevated, don’t you think?”
Shingo Takagi won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Dominion, defeating Kazuchika Okada to win the vacant title. This was the first time he had won the top title in New Japan.
