YMMV / Masayuki Naruse

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Upon his return match in MMA against Sanae Kikuta in 2013, Naruse was said to have been been told by Maeda to reject the offer to fight because he had been inactive for a long time and was unprepared; however, Naruse signed to fight anyway and claimed that it was "his redemption for lying to the fans for nearly ten years." Was he referencing the fact that RINGS pretended to be MMA for a long time despite being actually pro wrestling? Or perhaps Naruse, the worst legit fighter of the old promotion, was specifically apologizing for having pretended himself to be a legit badass for these years?
