Takeshi Rikio Ready For Action

Takeshi Rikio stated today that he is ready to get back in the GHC Heavyweight Title picture and plans on using his match with Takeshi Morishima against Takashi Sugiura & Yoshihiro Takayama on 9/9 at Nippon Budokan Hall to springboard himself back in it. Rikio said that after losing the title to Akira Taue last November he fell into a rut but he is aiming for Takayama as a victory over him would be the right stepping stone for another shot at the title. Rikio is glad that Takayama has recovered from his health problems but if beating him can advance his status then he has no problem with that.
