"Among the ideas is to use Pride as a company to do shoots and be the "star makers," and when new stars are created but physically start to break down, they can use their shooter reputation within pro wrestling. This was in some ways the mentality behind UFO, which the reality was, couldn't sell tickets, because inexperienced men, shooters or not, doing pro wrestling match after match, makes for a really bad pro wrestling show. As with any gimmick, one person doing it can draw based on the novelty, but an entire show of the same gimmick means the gimmick won't mean anything."

"This isn't over. This isn't over by a long shot. I'm going to dismantle UWF piece by piece and prove to the world why UFO is the superior force in kakutogi. And I want you to know that I'm not alone in this undertaking."
"UWF got us so far, but now it's time for a change. A new wave of warriors will step up and show the world the true meaning of Bushido".
