Question: Will you be working the first series?
Fujita: Right now I have the desire to compete along side my students, but it all just depends on my BSPW schedule. After I set a date, I will decide whether or not I will participate.
Question: Is your group only open to your students? And will you be accepting foreign students?
Fujita: Right now there are a few outside talent that I have shown interest in bringing for dates. ATSUKA has already agreed to work a few shows. As for your other question, I will soon be taking students from North America. I am going to visit the United States sometime next month to scout prospects.
Question: Will there be championship's for your wrestlers?
Fujita: FURY will create a singles title which will be decided in a tournament to be held in the weeks to come.
Question: Single elimination or round robin?
Fujita: The tournament will be single elimination.
Question: Will the senior class participate?
Fujita: No.
Question: What does Koji Tanaka and BSPW think about this?
Fujita: Tanaka-san gave me his blessing and has high hopes for this group.
Question: Will the group be based in Osaka? And where do you plan to primarily run shows?
Fujita: This group will be based in Osaka. Most shows will be held in the dojo facilities themselves. They facility when configured for seating will hold about 160 people. FURY will run mostly in Osaka, but will run a bi-monthly event at Korakuen hall. I will usually work these shows until I feel my students and draw enough interest.
Fujita wrapped up the press conference saying that he has high expectations for this group. He invited every BSPW wrestler to the debut and said that Keiji Takano and Black STAR are not welcome.
