04:42This time to defend the treasure of the Ark, Yoshiki Inamura.
04:47The GHC heavyweight champion making his first title defense.
04:53From the powerhouse of the dojo straight to the top.
04:56Can anyone stop the new champion right now?
04:59He wears that championship so well, doesn't he?
05:01The homegrown hulking heavyweight that is Yoshiki Inamura.
05:05For so long the new generation was led by Kaito Chiyomiya.
05:09Then Ozawa came into the equation in his own inimitable way.
05:13But now it's this man, Yoshiki Inamura at the summit of the Ark and captain in the ship.
05:19Exactly, and if this is the new era, this is the first page.
05:23What a main event we have here.
05:27The powerhouse, dominant, stoic, mountain of a man.
05:33The GHC heavyweight champion, Mr. Smack Daddy, Yoshiki Inamura.
05:43The reigning and defending GHC heavyweight champion, Mr. Smack Daddy, Yoshiki Inamura.
05:52This is battle for dominance in the heavyweight division.
06:08And he does wear that belt so very well. It's like it was made for him.
06:12Absolutely, a long time coming.
06:16So much going on here between the two of them.
06:18Both Noah Bourne, Yoshiki Inamura debuted at 25 years of age.
06:24Much later than most of the other younger ones.
06:27Remember Kaito Chiyomiya debuted at the age of 19.
06:30He was a prodigy, wasn't he?
06:33And the youngest ever GHC heavyweight champion.
06:36Yeah, record that still stands today. 22 years of age he was.
06:40Kaito Chiyomiya has held this title three times in his career.
06:45Looking for a fourth tonight.
06:46And just 29 years of age now.
06:50There's the bell straight into the collar and necktie.
06:53Tossed off by the champion there.
06:55That's the power of Yoshiki Inamura.
06:57The man who throws around huge tires in the gym.
07:01350 kilos and that's just for fun. That's a warm up.
07:05Leapfrog from Kiyomiya.
07:09First elbow to the face.
07:11Looking for the lariat there.
07:12Yoshiki catches him in the way in.
07:15Body slap into the elbow draw.
07:18Going to town here straight from the bell.
07:21Yoshiki Inamura.
07:22So rapid on the offense.
07:25Inamura.
07:26No time for Kitomiya to see where he's at on that one.
07:30Unreal.
07:31He is the captain of the arc right now.
07:33Look at the height on that.
07:35Huge back body drop.
07:37He just threw a former heavyweight champion almost to the rafters here.
07:43at Sendai Sunplaza Hall.
07:45The ship has set sail in Sendai.
07:47Kiyomiya took a heavy tumble there.
07:50This is coming back to haunt him.
07:52He's had trouble with the nerves and the pressure of these title matches.
07:57Absolutely.
07:58He's in a world of trouble right now.
07:59The challenger.
08:00It's been such a tumultuous year for the Mad Prince.
08:03Kaito Kiyomiya.
08:04He was looking to banish those memories and capture the GHFW Championship for a fourth time tonight.
08:09But what a start from the newly crowned champion Inamura, Mike.
08:13Oh, exactly.
08:14And he is taking no time.
08:16Oh, my God.
08:18Flying shoulder tackle from Yoshiki.
08:23Champion is on fire.
08:25Making a massive statement from the first challenge that he has out here.
08:30He chose Kiyomiya, has selected him right here.
08:33And he's making a massive statement, Mark.
08:36Yeah, it's like a hurdle that he needs to get over, isn't it?
08:39Yoshiki Inamura has never defeated Kaito Kiyomiya.
08:42It's a 5-0 head-to-head record.
08:45So either Inamura topples Kiyomiya for the first time today, or we'll crown a new GHC Heavyweight Champion.
08:55This is bad news.
08:57Very bad news.
08:58He's going to be overhead pressing and throw him through the second rope.
09:03Freightening power.
09:05I think now the scale of the task for Kiyomiya is just dawning on him.
09:10He's never encountered this version of Yoshiki Inamura.
09:13He's not. I mean, when you think about the last time they faced for the GHC Heavyweight Championship title back in July of 2024, when Inamura had returned from the UK as Yoichi.
09:26Yep.
09:28Look at the ropes.
09:30Shining wizard from the top right there.
09:33Yep.
09:34Shining Lancer.
09:35But it seems like a...
09:36It seems way more than a year and a few months since they last faced.
09:41It does, doesn't it?
09:42That's because Inamura has been overseas, having great success in WWE, NXT, carving out a great reputation for himself in America.
09:50And he's come back a whole different competitor, a whole new breed of fighter.
09:55Yeah, teaming with Josh Briggs out there and challenging for the WWE NXT titles together back in April this year against Hank and Tank, who just dropped the GHC tag titles tonight.
10:06So yeah, all that experience coming in, he's a completely different man.
10:12And he was already a very impressive heavyweight wrestler, but now top of the world.
10:18Kiyomiya trying to take that from him, looking for the skywalk elbow there.
10:24He was almost hesitant then, Kiyomiya, wasn't he?
10:28It's the hesitation that will be his undoing.
10:33Absolutely.
10:34That will cost him.
10:35Look at this.
10:36Just denied.
10:39Big shoulder from the champ.
10:43Calling on all his experience, his background, sumo, judo, amateur wrestling.
10:48Big power-based strikes, heavy chops, impressive suplex variations.
10:55He's really turned into a man of methodical aggression.
11:00He used to be more of a bull in a china shop, but he's a different wrestler now, now that he's top of the world.
11:07Added some polish to his game.
11:09Look at this.
11:11One arm.
11:12Confidence as well, isn't it?
11:15Body slam.
11:17Hooks up the leg.
11:20Kiyomiya kicks out.
11:21There was a time when these two were a tag team as well.
11:24They challenged for gold together back in 2020.
11:27They took on Segura again, didn't they?
11:30Yep, Takeshi Segura and Kazushi Sakuraba unsuccessful that day, but they were shoulder to shoulder.
11:39Completely different tonight.
11:40The two, Noah Bourne, going at it for the treasure of the Ark.
11:45Inamura has been so dominant since capturing the THC Heavyweight Championship.
11:50He's won three tag team matches since winning the big one, pinning Alejandro Haritoki with his discharge.
11:57Machine gun chops here from Inamura now.
11:59Yeah, this is one-way traffic, isn't it?
12:01Putting on a clinic.
12:02The new champion.
12:05Oh, that was smart.
12:08Deep arm drag from Kiyomiya.
12:13Arm ringer.
12:15Chop.
12:16From the champion.
12:20Rolling arm drag.
12:22Onto the arm lock now.
12:24Very smart work here from Kaito Kiyomiya.
12:26I was very impressed with his match against Charlie Dempsey.
12:28He really showed a vastly improved arsenal of submission moves, and he's got to tap into that soon.
12:35He's got to ground the super heavyweight, isn't he?
12:38Yeah, big style contrast here today.
12:41Inamura, the power base striker, grappler methodical and imposing.
12:45Kiyomiya, he blends that fast-paced offense with the hybrid striking, high impact moves.
12:51He's very agile, and he's got so much in his arsenal now that he's added over the years from his men.
12:57He was speaking this week of his frustration that when no wrestlers go overseas, they come back and they see Kiyomiya's stepping stone.
13:06He says that's a trend, that when people come back, they want to take him on, and he's getting frustrated by that.
13:11He wants to work towards recapturing the GHG heavyweight belt tonight.
13:15Blood from the elbow of Kiyomiya.
13:16Yeah.
13:17He's got the choke sleeper hold, but Inamura's doing the right thing, angling off, so it's not quite in full.
13:24Sends him into the corner, back first.
13:30Attacks the pack now with the drop kick.
13:33Inamura, the new powerhouse champion representing the next generation of NOAH's main event scene.
13:47But Kiyomiya, he's the established star, he's the golden boy, he was the ace with a history of high profile title reigns.
13:55And the onus is on him to take this contest to the new champion to test the mettle of Inamura.
14:02Kiyomiya himself has had a difficult year.
14:04He was upstaged by the returning Ozawa, Nippon Budokan New Year's Day, and he lost two tilts.
14:09The GHG tagging titles with Galeno, missing out on the N1 victory final.
14:15This one's deeper now though Mark, the choke sleeper hold applied on the big man.
14:21And we've talked about this before, it doesn't matter how big or strong you are,
14:24when somebody has your back and they're strangling your neck.
14:27We saw it in the N1 victory 2024 when Inamura took on the modern day Tengu.
14:39The champion's going to try and power through this, and he does!
14:46Kiyomiya in a serious bit of pain right there in the middle of the ring.
14:51The hulking mass of the champion just landing on top of him, plus gravity.
14:56Yeah, you're right Mark, this defense, this first defense for Inamura really adds pressure and legitimacy to his reign.
15:06Kiyomiya's challenge today really carries the redemption and legacy that's been a thread throughout his whole career.
15:18His desire to reclaim top status and stay there.
15:2133-year-old Kiyomiya has just never felt the pressure of the degree like this.
15:28His first out in as the reign of the champion, but he's not showing it right now.
15:32Monstrous brain buster looking for the three count here.
15:36Shoulder comes up from Kiyomiya.
15:38Oh, but don't forget he had to go through hell against Kenta.
15:43And people are still trying to figure out the right way, trying to figure out the blueprint to take him out.
15:49So far nobody's even come close.
15:51The sumo roots.
15:56Harking back to Takashi Rikyo.
16:02Oh, nobody home there. He was looking for the Geki Totsu.
16:09Countered by Kiyomiya.
16:13Kiyomiya, maybe not counting, he just got out of the way in time.
16:16Yeah, the champion went all in then, didn't he?
16:20That could be a strategy going forward, just get out of his way.
16:28Kiyomiya shaking off some cobwebs himself, the challenger.
16:30We've seen him dig deep before though, we know he's been through hell and back and still being able to pull through and take the championship.
16:41Yeah, he's channeled those frustrations during the course of this year.
16:44We've seen flashes of brilliance in some way.
16:47We need to see the unchanged, hot tempered Man Prince version of Kiyomiya.
16:51There we go, just slid underneath him straight into the dropkick there.
16:54Ten minutes into this main event and heavyweight championship match from the second row.
17:01Caught him and scooped him into the slam.
17:05That was superb that was for Mina Murat.
17:08Mr. SmackDaddy giving the smack down here tonight against Noah Borfello, Noah Borne, Kiyomiya.
17:26Just manages to get out of that.
17:29Dropkick.
17:32Barely stumbles him.
17:35Flying knee.
17:36He's got to go big.
17:38He's got to really amplify his offense whenever he can.
17:42Constant pressure now from the challenger.
17:47Diving single knee drop there to the back of the head.
17:49There's the cover to steal it.
17:52Two.
17:56When Kiyomiya goes dark, those are some of the best moments that he had.
18:00He really has to just channel that intensity.
18:03Yeah, we want to see the Prince of Madness come out.
18:07That's when we see the real Kiyomiya shining a lancer.
18:12Can this be it?
18:14One, two, to steal the belt.
18:16To steal the belt.
18:18Out of stun there for a moment.
18:25Just imagine it's going to take something monumental to steal the belt off Inamura.
18:31Yeah, something extra special.
18:34Oh, look out now.
18:38Ozawa makes an appearance.
18:41The man who stole the belt on New Year's Day of this year from Kaito Kiyomi.
18:47Distracting him.
18:49Just enough time for Yosuke to get up and send a lot into him on the way down.
18:53Up he goes.
18:56BANG!
18:58Monstrous!
19:00Power bomb, yeah, sit down.
19:02Huge!
19:06How does Kiyomiya even recover from that?
19:09Just when Kiyomiya was about to strike, Ozawa appeared.
19:12Where is he going now?
19:14That man has been in Kiyomiya's head for the better part of a year.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Taunting with him, toying with him.
19:22And here he is, injecting himself into the situation once again.
19:26Yeah, he has been living rent-free in the head of Kaito Kiyomiya since January the 1st, 2025.
19:36Inamura!
19:40Huge elbow!
19:43Kiyomiya!
19:45Roll it elbow!
19:47It's new from Inamura.
19:50Oh!
19:52Huge palm strike.
19:53That surely knocked him out.
19:56That's a KO right there.
19:58No!
19:59Says Kiyomiya!
20:01Here we go!
20:02The Prince of Madness is back with us!
20:04Here he is!
20:06He's got that disheveled look as well.
20:08The echo on that chop.
20:09Shicks it off.
20:10Mad Prince mode has been unlocked in Sendai.
20:11Shicks it off.
20:12Mad Prince mode has been unlocked in Sendai.
20:13Oh!
20:14Oh!
20:15The echo on that chop.
20:16Shicks it off.
20:17Mad Prince mode has been unlocked in Sendai.
20:19Shicks it off.
20:20Shicks it off.
20:21Mad Prince mode has been unlocked in Sendai.
20:22Shicks it off.
20:23Mad Prince mode has been unlocked in Sendai.
20:25Shicks it off!
20:31Oh!
20:32Oh!
20:35Thunderous Charps from the Champion.
20:38Here it is...
20:39This is what we are talking about.
20:41Ten,ап!
20:42Ten, three, two, three...
20:44Kyomiya relishing this moment now.
20:48Ring at each other.
20:51Bowls in the palm booth,
20:52Third move, one after the other.
20:58Twisted and sick look in his eyes.
21:02Kaito going dark.
21:05Dropkick from the champion.
21:08A man of that size making a dropkick look so easy.
21:15They got him.
21:15And does the brainbuster, the challenger.
21:20This is scintillating.
21:22It doesn't feel it, look at the damage all over Kaito Kimia's chest.
21:30The Shining Lancer again.
21:32He's got that ever-present sadistic smile across his face to the challenger.
21:39He's on autopilot right now.
21:42Inomura blocks that one.
21:46He's got the power mark.
21:48He's got the power.
21:49He's got the power.
21:51Belly-to-belly.
21:53He's got the power.
21:5615 minutes into this main event.
21:59The GHC heavyweight strap on the line.
22:01The champion.
22:05The captain of the ship.
22:07Kill me a block that with the knee.
22:14Follows up with another flying knee.
22:16Still can't drop the big man.
22:18There's a third.
22:20Overboard.
22:22He just won't go down.
22:26Oh.
22:27Again.
22:28Sends him up into the rafters.
22:30Yosuke inomura.
22:31On the attack.
22:33Off the ropes.
22:34Running them.
22:36Wrapping the pace up.
22:37One, two, to retain the belt.
22:45Kiyomiya kicks out.
22:46How did he get out?
22:47How did he get out of that?
22:52Down with the Musou!
22:56It's a goal!
22:58Still no.
22:59That was a mega Musou, wasn't it?
23:03Kiyomiya bloodied on the canvas.
23:05Kiyomiya has tried to send them through the Inamura, but it's going to the top.
23:11Nobody's found an answer to this so far.
23:13Nobody.
23:15Yosuke Inamura on the top turnbuckle.
23:19Discharge!
23:23To retain!
23:25He does it!
23:26Yosuke does it!
23:28Yosuke Inamura retains the gold.
23:31Sota!
23:33Mr. Sanktani!
23:35Yosuke Inamura!
23:40What a fuck the fuck.
23:41He's in the box, eh?
23:42Oh.
23:43Wow.
