00:00:00I want to talk to you all about it.
00:00:11I want to talk to you all about it.
00:00:20It's my dream to bring you to the next stage.
00:00:33It's my dream!
00:00:35It's my dream!
00:00:37It's my dream!

00:00:44I want to know the future of your dreams
00:00:46and see the future of the new Japan Proulx,
00:00:51Tanahashi Hiroz!
00:00:54I want to be the best to the best to become a person,
00:00:59more a star and more.
00:01:01I want to be the best to become a part of the world.
00:01:04I want to be the champion!
00:01:07I won't win!
00:01:11In the world of love, the new Japan will lead to 6 years.
00:01:17The main goal of the Dome will lead to this fight.
00:01:27The last year's Tokyo Dome was the champion.
00:01:31And this year's the champion.
00:01:35This is what I'm trying to do with.
00:01:40I don't want to do anything else.
00:01:46If I want to take this stage, I'll take it.
00:01:57I can't do that.
00:01:59I can't do that.
00:02:00I can't do that.
00:02:02In the end, the king of the world is the king of the Rhin Maker.
00:02:07The Rhin Maker is the Rhin Maker.
00:02:11I can't do that.
00:02:12I can't do that.
00:02:13It's my job.
00:02:16I'm a champion.
00:02:18I want to get more on the Rhin Maker.
00:02:23I've been to the Rhin Maker.
00:02:25I've been to the Rhin Maker.
00:02:28I've been to the Rhin Maker.
00:02:31There is an ultimate goal to achieve the ultimate goal of the world.
00:02:37That is...
00:02:39Tanashi-san.
00:02:42That Tanashi-san will die and return to the花道.
00:02:48Before the Dome...
00:02:52It's still fast.
00:02:55It's a dream maker for a long time.
00:03:02Every year I think, but I thought I was going to win.
00:03:06I thought I was going to win.
00:03:08I thought I was going to win.
00:03:10It's time for a long time.
00:03:13I think it's time for a long time.
00:03:18The Tokyo Dome of Okada is a big disaster.
00:03:25I don't want to be ashamed of that.
00:03:30I'm going to win a hard time.
00:03:33I want to make it a hard time.
00:03:36The 3rd year of the MvP for the 3rd year
00:03:39has won the MvP.
00:03:43I want to get married.
00:03:47I'll get to the end of life.
00:03:53I'm going to make a revenge in the dome.
00:03:59I'm going to make my new future.
00:04:04I'm here, so it's hard.
00:04:07The rain will be cold.
00:04:09エースか?
00:04:14王者か?
00:04:18新たな未来を導いた極の頂上決戦!
00:04:23金の雨が降るぞ
00:04:25IWGPは近いぞ!
00:04:29IWGPヘビー級選手権試合
00:04:33タナハシ・ヒロシ vs 王者 オカナ・カムチカ!
00:04:42タナシ wants New Japan is getting better
00:04:46This is his dream
00:04:48Okada said he can't because I'm here
00:04:53That's what they said
00:04:54The other two words that shown clear to me on the graphics
00:04:59Ace vs. Champion
00:05:02There is the ace right there
00:05:05Standing just a shade under 6 feet tall
00:05:08227 pounds
00:05:12Names like the great Muta and Tatsumi Fujinami
00:05:15Are listed as his trainers
00:05:19So today is a counting point of all the musical players
00:05:23Listen
00:05:24Well listen
00:05:25Words used to describe Tanahashi
00:05:28Sensational, high profile, charismatic
00:05:31The keeper of the gate
00:05:32The standard by which all others are measured
00:05:35But Tanahashi understands that the dome is cold
00:05:39And tonight
00:05:40These two fighters, these wrestlers
00:05:42They know each other so well
00:05:43The emotions and the tensions
00:05:45Finally spilled over a few months ago
00:05:47Tanahashi understands how much pressure
00:05:49That his opponent is under
00:05:51And Tanahashi will certainly use that
00:05:52And Tanahashi will certainly use that
00:05:53As he seems to be in good spirits here
00:05:58The guy who won, the guy who wins tonight
00:06:02Control New Japan Pro Wrestling 2016
00:06:05He said he'll be the one to kind of shape things
00:06:08In his image
00:06:10So far, Tanahashi
00:06:12We're in a very low period of time in business
00:06:15In this company, man
00:06:16He almost welcomed the challenge
00:06:20Put the company on his back
00:06:22Let's build around me
00:06:24Obviously, the results speak for themselves
00:06:28But Okada's return in 2012
00:06:31Changed the dynamic
00:06:34And the direction, the trajectory
00:06:36By which Tanahashi's reign as ace
00:06:39Really was able to manifest itself
00:06:41You know, in all sports
00:06:43You're always defined by your rival
00:06:45You know, the Red Sox are defined by the Yankees
00:06:47Arsenal is defined by Tottenham
00:06:49At the end of the careers
00:06:52Okada will be defined by Tanahashi
00:06:56Dave Carson, it's been stated on many times
00:06:59This is their 8th matchup
00:07:01The record 3 wins
00:07:033 losses
00:07:041 draw
00:07:063-3-1
00:07:07Here in this 8th meeting
00:07:10The 2015 G1 Climax winner
00:07:14Hiroshi Tanahashi
00:07:16Looks to regain the title again
00:07:18It is theu
00:07:25I have some line games here
00:07:26Yes, very interesting
00:07:40Just...
00:07:43presents...
00:07:47and there before you stands the 68th iwgp heavyweight champion the first of course
00:07:57antonio inoki six foot three 235 pounds trained by ultimo dragon and yuchi nagata
00:08:03ladies and gentlemen the rainmaker okada
00:08:07and yoshi to your point tanahashi stands in okada's way of legacy okada must beat this man
00:08:17in the dome to solidify his legacy otherwise all the work of his 12-year career comes down
00:08:24to this one night and it may be for naught as you see yedo also along with raymond
00:08:31kevin you and i were talking about this over breakfast at the hotel this morning
00:08:56these two it's going to really come down to counter wrestling you know the high fly flow
00:09:02and sling blade of course two signature maneuvers of tanahashi and the rainmaker clothesline
00:09:08as well as uh red ink and things of this nature for opada i wouldn't be surprised if a simple
00:09:15wrestling move ended this match because the counter wrestling is going to be absolutely
00:09:19incredible
00:09:23the next three-year champion
00:09:26the 60th and 107th champion
00:09:27the rainmaker okada kazutsuka
00:09:34he has made it rain throughout the tokyo dome but tanahashi owns the building he's got the lease
00:09:44And rent might be due.
00:09:50So now, the two men who will be linked forever, Matt, to your point, you're exactly right.
00:10:00They will fight once again for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship,
00:10:06where one year ago, you'll see, upon defeat, that man right there cried tears.
00:10:13Yes.
00:10:13Why? Why did he cry?
00:10:16So because Okada sold his ace, but he can't beat Tanahashi.
00:10:25Tanahashi is the ace.
00:10:28All right, boys, I'm putting you on the spot.
00:10:30Yoshi, I'm going to start with you. Pick a winner.
00:10:35Tanahashi?
00:10:36Okay, Kev.
00:10:37I'm going to go with my boy, Chris Charlton, NJWK.
00:10:41He's in this match?
00:10:41Can't buy the numbers.
00:10:42It's January 4th favors the champion.
00:10:4522 defenses on January 4th.
00:10:47The title has only changed hands seven times.
00:10:50So I will say that Okada.
00:10:53All right.
00:10:54I'm going on record to say that I always believe in energy.
00:10:58I believe in the balance of the universe, and it just feels to me like it's Okada's time.
00:11:04But Tanahashi, but Tanahashi, to me and Yoshi, we talked about this yesterday, the challenger comes in in fantastic shape.
00:11:13Tanahashi looks amazing.
00:11:15Yes.
00:11:15It's very strong.
00:11:16And the bell sounds, and here we go.
00:11:20Thank you very much.
00:11:50Boy, Ta-Nehisi looks in great shape, huh?
00:12:08Yeah, he certainly does.
00:12:14They collide with a lockup in the center of the ring.
00:12:17And it's amazing after how many times these two have wrestled,
00:12:21the collar and elbow tie-up, the positioning here,
00:12:24trying to gain an advantage here with strength
00:12:26is what these two go for right off the bat.
00:12:36You will not read a lot into the face most times of Okada.
00:12:41He tries to keep a cool exterior.
00:12:47Normally, both of these two, known for their sportsmanship,
00:12:55their congenial attitudes, but as I alluded to earlier,
00:12:58a few months ago, tensions spilled over.
00:13:02Yes.
00:13:02They kind of, you know, showed their true colors.
00:13:05And even Okada, when asked about it, said,
00:13:08hey, that was fun.
00:13:10That was different.
00:13:11It was fun to fight.
00:13:12It sometimes is fun to fight.
00:13:14And the forearm smash knocks the challenger down.
00:13:18Of course, while Okada generally keeps that cool exterior,
00:13:22that fireplug of the man on the outside,
00:13:25he's the hot temper.
00:13:27That's Ghetto.
00:13:27He's the many times the mouthpiece of the Rainmaker.
00:13:33The voice of chaos and buries the knee to the midsection.
00:13:41Again, a lot of counter-wrestling.
00:13:43And you see the respect because Tanahashi gives his opponent space.
00:13:51Doesn't go right after him because of the respect he has for Okada's counter-wrestling.
00:13:56And like we said earlier on, with Shibata and Ishii,
00:14:06title match, 60-minute time limit, wasn't going to go that long.
00:14:09And it didn't.
00:14:10This, of course, a 60-minute time limit as well.
00:14:13These men have gone with time limit before.
00:14:20I wonder what Okada said, though, that brought that reaction, Yoshi.
00:14:25Anyone that's ever been in a fight will tell you.
00:14:35Sometimes a slap across the face, you see that white flash.
00:14:39Something like that can kind of rock you.
00:14:41And you can see Okada keeps going back to his jaw.
00:14:46Now, Okada, elbow strike.
00:14:50Yeah, kind of slow start.
00:15:07Oh, what do you expect?
00:15:08I mean, they know each other very well.
00:15:13A lot of control now, trying to get Okada's shoulders.
00:15:17Nice counter there.
00:15:19Good stuff.
00:15:20Tanahashi trying to take Okada's back.
00:15:35Seen the head scissors tonight, and I love the trapping of the arm as well.
00:15:38Okada looked like he wanted to kick out of that head scissors.
00:15:46Perhaps sensing Tanahashi able to block him, but now the head is clear.
00:15:54The head is clear, and he goes back to the side headlock.
00:15:57And it's a basic strategy.
00:15:59It may be parochial or rudimentary, but it works.
00:16:01Control your opponent's head.
00:16:02You control the rest of his body.
00:16:04And then, of course, when you talk about counter-wrestling, also the part of the counter-wrestling, too, I'm most interested in.
00:16:11And I caution this, you know, again, making that mistake, that big high-risk move that perhaps comes up empty.
00:16:19That's the one thing where I could really see this championship contest kind of turn very quickly.
00:16:25So, avoidance of the big mistake is critical.
00:16:27Hammerlock control now.
00:16:37Standing side, headlock, of course, Okada likes to use the Rainmaker clothesline.
00:16:42And it comes, it starts from behind his opponent.
00:16:47So, Tanahashi will try to stay either behind or to the side.
00:16:52Comparisons between Tanahashi and Okada, of course, Flair and Steamboat.
00:16:58And Tanahashi here in the role of the challenger,
00:17:00many times Steamboat would keep that side headlock applied
00:17:03and would frustrate Flair as Flair would attempt to shoot him off.
00:17:07Steamboat would put the brakes on and really flatten out.
00:17:16Very busy grizzling.
00:17:18Yeah, but it works.
00:17:19It's good fundamentals.
00:17:20And any good fighter will tell you that if your fundamentals aren't sound,
00:17:24I don't care how many cool kind of flips or stuff you can do.
00:17:29If your position is wrong, you won't get the full effect.
00:17:32Well, the first change of direction and emotion in this match.
00:17:43Clipping the knee.
00:17:44And again, while it might be a stretch, the Rainmaker clothesline, Okada needs to put pressure on his right leg to get the full impact of the clothesline.
00:17:56So perhaps that's in Tanahashi's mind to try to minimize one of, if not the best weapon that Colin's person has.
00:18:09And many times Vets will say, in that chain wrestling, I'm feeling my opponent.
00:18:13And I want to see if there's an opening, if there's an opportunity.
00:18:16And maybe, maybe Okada just let down his guard for a split second.
00:18:21And Tanahashi was able to count.
00:18:25And now that he's gone to the leg, do you like the strategy of the challenger?
00:18:31Yoshi, is this something that you would say is good for Tanahashi?
00:18:34Yeah, good.
00:18:35Then he changed the switch to work to leg.
00:18:38Then he concentrates to work his legs.
00:18:44Right leg, the focus of Tanahashi's attack here.
00:18:57Yeah, it's red leg.
00:18:58It is, he has drawn a giant bullseye on the right leg.
00:19:08Now looking to take out the 0-1-2 and Okada knew not to allow that to happen.
00:19:14See, right there to the point.
00:19:16Okada really can't even get a step to get any momentum to try to have any force behind any of his moves here.
00:19:23And now Tanahashi explodes out of the corner.
00:19:25Crossbody rolled through by Okada.
00:19:27See, that's the height and the strength advantage of Okada right there.
00:19:32Whoa, look at it.
00:19:34Just a little bit of a backstory there.
00:19:38Tanahashi, well documented, neck injuries.
00:19:40Okada has used the Tombstone Piledriver on Tanahashi before.
00:19:45And Okada extends the legs, the dropkick, and sends Tanahashi down to the floor.
00:19:50Red Shoes there to check on the challenger.
00:19:56Watch this.
00:19:57Oh, I didn't even see how he landed back first.
00:20:04Oh, I didn't even see how he landed back first.
00:20:06I cannot imagine that Okada would be content with a count-out victor.
00:20:13Gingerly coming out of the ring.
00:20:21Okada.
00:20:26Oh, and now the back, for the barricade, crashing to the floor here of the Tokyo Dome.
00:20:38Okada, Okada, coast to coast.
00:20:51Wow.
00:20:58Almost kind of like a high fly flow over the guardrail there.
00:21:04And necessity is the mother of invention.
00:21:06Look at that.
00:21:07Something that Tanahashi had done to Okada last year.
00:21:10And now Okada, 12 months later, returns the favor.
00:21:22Red Shoes very calm.
00:21:24Instructing the wrestlers to get back into the ring.
00:21:29Begins the count.
00:21:32A brisk pace towards 20.
00:21:34Halfway, Okada in.
00:21:37Yeah, Okada's got a long way to go.
00:21:39Okada had to go.
00:21:44Well, Tanahashi.
00:21:46I'm sorry, Tanahashi had a long way to go.
00:21:48They did, and Okada not wanting to win by count out.
00:21:53If you're the champion in this spot, do you take the win, Yoshi, by count out?
00:21:58Yeah.
00:22:01Would you be content with that?
00:22:02I knew.
00:22:03You'd be good.
00:22:04I know you'd be good.
00:22:06You wouldn't care at all.
00:22:07Oh, look at that.
00:22:08Yes.
00:22:11On the outside in.
00:22:13Senton, center of the ring.
00:22:15Tanahashi is down.
00:22:16His shoulders to the mat.
00:22:18A two count.
00:22:18You know, sometimes in these fights where the fighters have fought each other so many times,
00:22:23it comes down to just simple things like maybe height or weight or what you originally started training in.
00:22:31Did you start training in wrestling?
00:22:33Maybe you started in boxing.
00:22:34Maybe you started in jiu-jitsu or judo.
00:22:36But these little, tiny things that may seem inconsequential can turn out to be huge.
00:22:44Captain New Japan in the corner of Tanahashi.
00:22:48Trying to fire the challenger up.
00:22:57Tanahashi to his feet now.
00:22:59Forearm, uppercut forearm.
00:23:01Backs Okada into the corner.
00:23:03Okada catches him.
00:23:08Oh, drop kick.
00:23:08No.
00:23:09The drop kick was about to go.
00:23:11And it's dead.
00:23:12Oh.
00:23:14This is the flipping senton.
00:23:17And we go right back to the fact.
00:23:20Okada still cares.
00:23:22He's right way.
00:23:25And to the other side, you know, Tanahashi's neck.
00:23:29His back.
00:23:30And don't be confused.
00:23:31Some of the names of the move.
00:23:32I know it moves.
00:23:32I know early on the move was called the lung blower, yet it hit the opponent in the spine.
00:23:36Don't be confused by the names of the move.
00:23:39Look at where the wrestlers land.
00:23:41Look at the impact.
00:23:43And then yourself, you're able to deduce the amount of damage and what body part there may not be injured.
00:23:49Sent to corner to corner of the Irish whip.
00:23:51Oh, Okada now starting to move.
00:23:55The DDT and showing no ill effects of the leg attack of Tanahashi early on.
00:24:03The adrenaline is building.
00:24:05The momentum is building for Okada.
00:24:08Uppercut forearm.
00:24:09Red shoes in position.
00:24:11Had the leg hook, but Tanahashi kicks out at two.
00:24:13Gosh.
00:24:13And Yoshi, you notice the little things on the leg hook.
00:24:15The way Okada crosses his arm and grabs his other arm.
00:24:18Those little tiny things make the difference.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:22Little things, but it's a big thing.
00:24:25Yes.
00:24:26The little things mean so much.
00:24:27Ah!
00:24:28Ah!
00:24:31A lot of fried sugar hold in Paradise Lock there.
00:24:34What do you say there?
00:24:35Come on, let me go.
00:24:36What do you say?
00:24:37Come on, let me go.
00:24:38You hear Gato barking in the background.
00:24:42Captain New Japan pounding the mat.
00:24:44Right back to the neck goes Okada.
00:24:54And Yoshi, this has to speak to you.
00:24:56Your well-documented neck injuries.
00:24:58You know, when you do return to the ring,
00:25:00you know your opponents are going to go after the neck.
00:25:02How do you defend it?
00:25:05Well, uh, just watch my neck.
00:25:12Simple answer.
00:25:12Simple answer.
00:25:14Give him the dummy!
00:25:19Okada again, coast to coast, out of the way!
00:25:22And a smile.
00:25:24Sitak no!
00:25:35Now, finally, Ta-Nehisi back on his feet.
00:25:39He's trying to get some sort of offense.
00:25:41Ta-Nehisi back on his feet.
00:25:42He's trying to look like he was going for some sort of flapjack there.
00:25:49Reversal of the Irish whip.
00:25:50Ta-Nehisi takes the buckle hard.
00:25:51Now, back to the leg!
00:25:53Yep.
00:25:53Now, you drop a ping somewhere, and you go away,
00:25:58and then you come back to what you started with.
00:26:01That's why Ta-Nehisi is a consummate professional.
00:26:04And again, man, call me crazy, but I do think that a compromised lower base
00:26:12takes away the effectiveness of the clothesline, the Rainmaker clothesline that Okada likes to use.
00:26:18So now, left hole, left leg.
00:26:22Oh, the right leg is the one in the focus of the attack.
00:26:26Anyway, you look at it.
00:26:28Yeah, the gold boot in the right leg, and there, now we go,
00:26:33dragon's full leg, whip it again.
00:26:35And left leg.
00:26:36Oh!
00:26:37Go, go, go, go, go!
00:26:39Okada, smartly, rolling to the floor.
00:26:42And that's a good point, Kevin, Okada being the champion, understanding.
00:26:46Now, you get a little bit of a tell as to how injured Okada may be.
00:26:50Rolling to the floor like that, when a wounded animal kind of backs away into a corner, it's dangerous.
00:26:57Watch now, Ta-Nehisi.
00:27:00High risk, high fly flow, no.
00:27:03Oh!
00:27:04Uppercut forearm from Okada.
00:27:07The champ has seen that high fly flow on a number of occasions.
00:27:12Going for here.
00:27:13I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
00:27:16Will the leg hold up?
00:27:18Because if Okada falls, Ta-Nehisi's gonna fall, and they're gonna go about 11 feet to the floor.
00:27:24Oh!
00:27:25Oh!
00:27:26Oh!
00:27:27Oh!
00:27:28Oh!
00:27:29Oh!
00:27:30Oh!
00:27:31Oh!
00:27:32Oh!
00:27:33Oh!
00:27:34Oh!
00:27:35Oh!
00:27:36Oh!
00:27:37Oh, look at this!
00:27:38Now the left leg.
00:27:39That's ugly.
00:27:41That dragon screw leg whip snaps the inside of the knee capsule across the turnbuckle.
00:27:50Yes, there is a thin layer of red leather padding on it, but it is merely a suggestion of protection.
00:27:56This is a big chance.
00:27:57Oh, boy!
00:27:58Oh!
00:27:59Oh!
00:28:00Oh, my god!
00:28:01Oh!
00:28:02Oh, my god!
00:28:03Oh!
00:28:04Oh, my god!
00:28:05Oh!
00:28:06So now both legs, both bases for Okada.
00:28:07Yes.
00:28:08Have in compromise.
00:28:09Right leg, then left leg.
00:28:10And to your point that Raymaker seems so far off in the distance!
00:28:14Oh!
00:28:15Any fighter will tell you.
00:28:16You have four major weapons and then a fifth.
00:28:25Of Okada's weapons. Yes, kind of house doesn't care which it eggs
00:28:32Cut down the base
00:28:36And Okada basically defenseless here
00:28:43The steel frame of the ring
00:28:45Tanahashi's left leg right leg both weakened wide open for sling blade from the challenger
00:28:58Who now goes to the top
00:29:01The spring of the step
00:29:03With everything on the line
00:29:07High five flow
00:29:09A great sacrifice made by the challenger
00:29:16Both men flat on their backs but on the outside of the ring
00:29:20And now Recizuno the referee down to check on both wrestlers
00:29:24Will go back in the ring and start the count as Gato shows his disapproval
00:29:28Yes, the first time really we've seen that expression change on Gato
00:29:32Red – four, five, six, ten, ten, ten, ten, eleven, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, one, fifteen, eighteen, Д
00:29:45Enough, fifty and ten, ehrlich,
00:29:49Four, fifteen, eighteen, sixteen, seventeen, twelve, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, twenty, seventeen, twelve, twelve, seventeen, a Export record of the time
00:30:00Oh!
00:30:02Andy!
00:30:04Andy!
00:30:06Oh!
00:30:08I had the tension.
00:30:14So close.
00:30:22Body slamming. Here we go.
00:30:24Ta-Nehisi moving.
00:30:26Christmas to the second.
00:30:28Wow! Eye fly flow onto the legs.
00:30:30That was by design
00:30:32right there. Yoshi, a big smile from you.
00:30:34You like that? Yes.
00:30:36He's smart. Yeah.
00:30:40Flow relief.
00:30:44Again, and back.
00:30:46And again, if you've watched
00:30:48wrestling, the leg that
00:30:50is underneath is the leg.
00:30:52It causes all the damage
00:30:54to the leg on top. The golden
00:30:56bootleg, the right leg, is the leg
00:30:58that's been compromised, and that's why
00:31:00Ta-Nehisi puts the black boot underneath.
00:31:04The long frame of Okada.
00:31:08An enemy right now of Ta-Nehisi.
00:31:10So much to try to turn,
00:31:12and eventually Okada
00:31:14slithers. Great point.
00:31:16To the bottom rope to force that
00:31:18break.
00:31:20An athlete not six foot three
00:31:22may not have been able
00:31:24to remove himself
00:31:26from that situation.
00:31:28Sometimes it just goes back to the God-given
00:31:30gifts you've been given.
00:31:32You know what I'm saying.
00:31:36Back to the right leg now.
00:31:38Just straight away.
00:31:48High fly flow earlier on.
00:31:50Now the drop kick.
00:31:52Yeah, my opinion, Ta-Nehisi should
00:31:54decide which leg
00:31:56work, I think.
00:31:58Both legs?
00:32:00Seems to be focusing more on the right leg,
00:32:02but any opportunity that's presented...
00:32:04Uh-oh. Caught!
00:32:06Nope.
00:32:10You can see that the leg was compromised.
00:32:12Okada went to the side.
00:32:14Oh, boy!
00:32:16Look at that!
00:32:17White noise onto the knee!
00:32:19But!
00:32:20It's onto the injured knee,
00:32:22and back again
00:32:24to the starting point.
00:32:26And the leg...
00:32:28obviously hailing Okada.
00:32:30The neck with focus early on.
00:32:32The attack on Ta-Nehisi.
00:32:34The attack on Ta-Nehisi.
00:32:36And now Geto.
00:32:38Imploring the champion to get back on his feet.
00:32:42There's years.
00:32:44And now,
00:32:44few feet.
00:32:46And now...
00:32:47Full大家好!
00:32:49Come on, Tim...
00:32:51We call your Olympic Africa!
00:32:52Two.
00:32:53Gonnawar!
00:32:54On the National Trackers!
00:32:55Yeah!
00:32:56No Dunno...
00:33:00Kevin...
00:33:01Oh!
00:33:02We call him...
00:33:03We call him...
00:33:04Kevin,
00:33:04it's coming,
00:33:05and the redれる,
00:33:06the tall guy on the histó nieces.
00:33:09Kevin, it's been an amazing night.
00:33:13And how about the fact that we get to do it all again tomorrow?
00:33:16I can't wait.
00:33:21We will be Cork and Hall tomorrow night.
00:33:24For New Year Dash, will we have a new champion?
00:33:27Or will Okada still be in control?
00:33:34So many fuamas right there in the show.
00:33:39One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one.
00:33:46The forearm, of course, the strike of choice.
00:33:49His punches, you risk breaking your hand.
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53Sanahachi.
00:33:54Oh, that drop kick firmly into the chest from Okada.
00:34:04Again, the drop kick.
00:34:06And now, third time, continuing to pour them on.
00:34:16Light hook on champ two, Ta-Nehisi kicks out.
00:34:20And again, a lax cover by the champ.
00:34:24Knew, maybe, Okada took so much out of himself,
00:34:27hitting those series of moves,
00:34:29but he didn't have enough to have a quality cover.
00:34:32And now, Okada, top rope, Ta-Nehisi slow.
00:34:42Is he defensively? My God!
00:34:44What a dropkick! Three quarters of the way!
00:34:47Close to the ring! Two! Oh!
00:34:50Yoshi, I liked how Okada slid Ta-Nehisi's arm away from the rope
00:34:55and hooked the leg that was closest to the rope.
00:34:58Yes. Bang!
00:35:02This is basic, but it's important.
00:35:06Absolutely.
00:35:17And Kata's slow.
00:35:20He's slow as he's got Ta-Nehisi in position.
00:35:25The leaping elbow drop from the top.
00:35:39Rainmaker pose!
00:35:40Rainmaker time!
00:35:43A classic taunt from Okada.
00:35:48Here we go.
00:35:50Rainmaker now!
00:35:51Rainmaker now!
00:35:53him!
00:35:55Up up up!
00:35:56Tombstone pile driver here.
00:35:57Remember the neck issues...
00:35:58inar that 김� sure's no brain roll throw!
00:36:01Rainmaker's second, roll through two!
00:36:01Ho ho ho!
00:36:02Rainmaker up to the ground!
00:36:05Rainmaker now!
00:36:06na-i-i-i-i-i-I-I-I-I- buoy!
00:36:11Kick the left change directions
00:36:19Momentum swings back to the challenger
00:36:32Of course you have three main ligaments in your knee right ACL MCL PCL that dragon screw leg grip compromises all of them
00:36:40I don't think goodbye dear switch right leg left leg right leg left leg
00:36:51Instead of getting maybe the right or the left side of the house to collapse
00:36:55Yes, what Ta-Nehisi wants to do is to pancake it to bring it all down on top of each other by ruining the complete vertical base
00:37:10Somehow Ta-Nehisi stopped the momentum of the dropkick and now, no defense!
00:37:18What would a submission do to Okada? Would he be able to live with himself?
00:37:24And Ta-Nehisi does not have this hold on fully because of the position of Okada's body
00:37:30Pressure is on the legs and the neck, but Ta-Nehisi really needs to turn Okada over onto Okada's stomach for this whole time
00:37:37Full effect!
00:37:43Okada having to press up to try to drag himself to pull himself over the rope, but it's dead!
00:37:55Okada needs to keep his chest off the mat
00:37:57If he loses the point of his shoulder...
00:38:03That's not a tap!
00:38:05Okada! Oh, so close!
00:38:09Oh, so close! Okada finally able to get to the bottom rope to force the break!
00:38:15It's the best, though!
00:38:16It's the best that you can do!
00:38:17It's the best that you can do!
00:38:22Come on!
00:38:23That's gonna work!
00:38:25Come on!
00:38:27Come on!
00:38:29Okada!
00:38:30Okada!
00:38:31Come on!
00:38:33Okada!
00:38:34Come on.
00:38:41Ah!
00:38:42Ah!
00:38:43Ah!
00:38:44Ah!
00:38:45Ah!
00:38:46Ah!
00:38:47Ah!
00:38:48Ah!
00:38:49Ah!
00:38:50Ah!
00:38:51Ah!
00:38:52Ah!
00:38:53Ah!
00:38:54Knack breaker now.
00:38:55Here he comes.
00:38:56Slink leg!
00:38:57Yes!
00:38:58Good.
00:39:03Could this be it?
00:39:05To the top, he screams!
00:39:07Is this the end of Okada's legacy?
00:39:09Time line!
00:39:10No!
00:39:16Man, Tanahashi three seconds away from ace status being cemented.
00:39:21But the champion, the Rainmaker, has fight left.
00:39:25In a table now.
00:39:27Shoulders off the mat.
00:39:29Okada begins to stir.
00:39:31And when things look most bleak for the champion just moments ago, he's able to turn the intensity up.
00:39:46Wait a second, Tanahashi counters again.
00:39:52The rolling neck breaker hold on, but Okada able to keep the momentum!
00:39:58Toonstone!
00:39:59Toonstone!
00:40:00Power driver spikes him!
00:40:02He can put all the demons to rest.
00:40:17And anytime Okada clutches at his opponent's waist, here we come!
00:40:21Rainmaker clothesline!
00:40:22Rainmaker!
00:40:23Rainmaker!
00:40:24Rainmaker!
00:40:25Rainmaker!
00:40:26One!
00:40:27Two!
00:40:28No!
00:40:29He kicked out!
00:40:30I told you man, this was going to be about counters, and I'd be shocked if the signature
00:40:35maneuver ended this match.
00:40:37One!
00:40:38One!
00:40:39One!
00:40:40One!
00:40:41One!
00:40:42One!
00:40:43One!
00:40:44Tana!
00:40:45Tanahashi kicked out.
00:40:46Okada pleading for a different outcome.
00:40:47Look at that picture right there.
00:40:48The challenger, flat on his back.
00:40:50Not moving.
00:40:51Shoulders are down.
00:40:52If Okada can look over his shoulder, he may be able to sneak a cover in here.
00:40:56The fella said something.
00:41:04And whoa! Look at the way of Tana Springs!
00:41:08Delight! To the top!
00:41:10Hard drive flow!
00:41:12Perfect irony!
00:41:14Hard drive flow too!
00:41:16Oh no! Barely kicked out the Tanahashi.
00:41:20Tanahashi was almost beat by his own move!
00:41:24Up! Up! Up!
00:41:26To Vince Lee! No!
00:41:28Rainmaker!
00:41:30Rainmaker for Tanahashi!
00:41:32Rainmaker for Tanahashi!
00:41:48I see Jushin Thunder Liger and Tano over there.
00:41:52He's losing his mind at what we are seeing from the Japanese broadcast.
00:41:56But here on the English side!
00:42:00No matter what language you speak, fans, you know what this is about!
00:42:06What hangs in the balance!
00:42:10That's why this place is packed full!
00:42:12What a night!
00:42:14What an event!
00:42:16What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:18Okada to his feet first!
00:42:20Tanahashi turns over!
00:42:22Just a simple kick to the knee creates space!
00:42:26What an event!
00:42:28What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:30What an event!
00:42:31What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:32What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:33What an event!
00:42:34Ocada to his feet first!
00:42:35Tanahashi turns over!
00:42:37What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:40What an event!
00:42:42What a group of wrestlers!
00:42:44The king!
00:42:45Just a simple kick to the knee creates space!
00:42:50and time space and time are what Tanahashi needs keep Okada away time for recovery again
00:43:00that short strike to the knee backs Okada up
00:43:06No! Toonstone! Again, Kenny hit it again!
00:43:27He's got to be able to get Tanahashi's legs around his head
00:43:33Tanah starting the kick, shifting his weight
00:43:35And now Tanahashi!
00:43:45Oh! Big ol' suplex there!
00:43:49No! The Dragon suplex, not enough!
00:43:53Stacked up with the Dragon! Death and near fall!
00:43:58But now to the top! One more time!
00:44:01On the back!
00:44:03On the back! Rolls him over!
00:44:09And again!
00:44:11TANAHASHI!
00:44:13TANAHASHI!
00:44:15HOT FALL!
00:44:17TANAHASHI!
00:44:19TANAHASHI!
00:44:21TANAHASHI!
00:44:23TANAHASHI!
00:44:27Look at the reactions from the historically, infamously subdued Japanese crowd!
00:44:33These two fighters have brought them to their feet!
00:44:35These two fighters have brought them into the ring with them!
00:44:39TANAHASHI!
00:44:41TANAHASHI!
00:44:43TANAHASHI!
00:44:45TANAHASHI!
00:44:49TANAHASHI!
00:44:51TANAHASHI!
00:44:53TANAHASHI!
00:44:55TANAHASHI!
00:44:57TANAHASHI!
00:44:59TANAHASHI!
00:45:01TANAHASHI!
00:45:03TANAHASHI!
00:45:05TANAHASHI!
00:45:06TANAHASHI!
00:45:07TANAHASHI!
00:45:09TANAHASHI!
00:45:11TANAHASHI!
00:45:12TANAHASHI!
00:45:13TANAHASHI!
00:45:15POORING
00:45:40Underneath, right in the rib.
00:45:45And now Okada, wheeling himself waistline.
00:45:53Remember the point of impact that just happened.
00:45:56Okada is looking to capitalize.
00:46:00Looks like he's going for a German suplex.
00:46:02The way Ta-Nehisi positions his body makes it difficult for Okada to get the challenger up.
00:46:07And let's not forget the compromised lower base of the champion.
00:46:10Oh!
00:46:16Drop kick! Drop kick, Okada!
00:46:18Beautiful! Beautiful!
00:46:31Rainmaker, no!
00:46:36German suplex, yes!
00:46:40Oh! Another slam!
00:46:41Look at that! Maintaining wrist control!
00:46:53That Rainmaker clothesline is still accessible!
00:46:57That Rainmaker clothesline is still accessible!
00:47:03And again!
00:47:13Rainmaker!
00:47:14One, two, three!
00:47:20Three!
00:47:22Three counts!
00:47:24Ladies and gentlemen, history has just been made here in the Tokyo Dome!
00:47:29Okada has vanquished his greatest rival!
00:47:33Okada has vanquished his greatest rival!
00:47:37Thrown the monkey off of his back!
00:47:39And now the Rainmaker can stand and take his rightful place as the ace of New Japan!
00:47:46The tears that flowed from that man's eyes one year ago!
00:47:58Tonight, Yoshi, tears may flow once again!
00:48:03But it won't be sadness!
00:48:05But it won't be sadness!
00:48:06Tonight, January 4th, 2016!
00:48:09Okada can finally be happy!
00:48:11Yes!
00:48:12And he will control the Japan Pro Wrestling this year!
00:48:18What an amazing fight!
00:48:21What an amazing fight!
00:48:22Between two amazing wrestlers!
00:48:28Unbelievable!
00:48:48Two men so evenly matched!
00:48:55And their careers forever linked!
00:48:58It really came down to that wrist clutch!
00:49:02In the final seconds, when Tanahashi thought he had freed himself, Okada wouldn't let go!
00:49:09And I stand corrected!
00:49:11I swore that it wasn't going to be a signature move that was going to end this match!
00:49:15But Okada would have it no other way!
00:49:18This is the moment right here!
00:49:26Yes!
00:49:27Three-time tip!
00:49:28Yes!
00:49:29He's worn the title before!
00:49:30But to defeat Tanahashi!
00:49:32To wear the crown here at Tokyo Dome!
00:49:36Here at Wrestle Kingdom!
00:49:37That's what Okada!
00:49:39This is the moment he has lived for!
00:49:43He's got a chance!
00:49:51He's got a chance!
00:49:53He's got a chance!
00:49:55I know you! I know you!
00:50:12You're not here!
00:50:18So he said Okada is the only man to take the upper level.
00:50:48He said he's a different rebel.
00:51:18He's a future and he's an IWGP champion.

00:51:32What did he say?
00:51:44What did he say?
00:51:56What did he say?
00:52:06What did he say?
00:52:08What did he say?

00:52:26What did he say?

00:53:01What did he say?
00:53:02What did he say?
00:53:03What did he say?
00:53:04What did he say?
00:53:05That's what I want to say, but I'm still going to increase the new police in 2016, but I'm still going to see you in 2016!
00:53:35And he said he will show everybody new New Japan.
00:54:05The road to greatness and glory for every athlete to ever compete here in New Japan.
00:54:14Pro Wrestling runs through the Tokyo Dome.
00:54:17And tonight, on the biggest stage, in the biggest moment, Okada comes up with the win of his lifetime.
00:54:26Man, it has been a remarkable night where we have seen champions and challengers push themselves beyond the limits.
00:54:43But what we've seen from Okada tonight is extraordinary.
00:54:47Been a wrestling fan since I'm seven years old.
00:54:50That will never change, and it's because of wrestlers that we saw tonight.
00:54:55It's because of matches and emotions that we felt here tonight.
00:55:00This has been truly just an honor for that little seven-year-old kid from Bayside, Queens, New York, to sit here in Tokyo next to you and Yoshitatsu.
00:55:09It really is just one of those things, man. Dreams come true.
00:55:12And for that man, tonight, he will sleep soundly, and his dreams will be vivid.
00:55:18Because that man right there, Raymaker Okada, ushers in the next generation of some of the finest wrestling in the world, New Japan Pro Wrestling.
00:55:28Tonight, though, as he lays himself in his pillow, and he thinks about the dreams and aspirations that he had of victory here tonight, he must think about the future.
00:55:39Because the road of everything in New Japan runs straight through him, and now that he's put Tanahashi to the side, he has to wonder who is next, and who will be waiting for him in the shadows.
00:55:53Opportunity will strike, and Okada will be the man to deny.
00:55:59He said, uh, his rainmaker, again, in 2012, uh, 2016.
00:56:29Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes the broadcast here at WrestleKingdom 10 on NJPWworld.com.
00:56:42We will see you tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow.
00:56:45What a night it will be at Historic Oregon Hall.
00:56:49For Yoshitatsu and Matt Stryker, I'm Kevin Kelly.
00:56:53Thanks for joining us for WrestleKingdom 10.
