04:39The pride of both sides is at stake.
04:41In the ring.
04:42It's a three-time unified heavyweight championship.
04:44This is Texas Bulldozer.
04:49The commentator is Giant Babasan.
04:52Babasan, Kobashi and Taue have been fighting for the three-time unified heavyweight championship.
04:57Taue is in good form.
05:00That's good.
05:01Yes.
05:03I've been training a lot lately.
05:07Yes.
05:09Kobashi's body is a little bigger than Taue's.
05:14I can see a little bit of movement.
05:16Yes.
05:17Oh!
05:18Taue doesn't let go of Kobashi.
05:22I can see that Taue has a lot of memory.
05:27It's been a long time for Taue.
05:30It's been a year and two months.
05:32According to Taue, there are many other strong wrestlers on the way.
05:37But for Taue, this is a long-awaited challenge.
05:40Babasan, that's the spirit.
05:42That's right.
05:43Yes.
05:45Taue Akira.
05:49A year and two months ago, in July 1997, he challenged the champion, Misawa.
05:54But he lost.
05:56However, he has once won the three-time unified heavyweight championship.
05:59Bulldogging headlock.
06:02It was a night in Sapporo in May 1996.
06:07At that time, Taue, who had defeated the champion, Misawa, and became the three-time champion.
06:12However, after that, he fell.
06:15Now, and this time, chop.
06:17A headlock chop.
06:18Kobashi.
06:19The champion, Kobashi.
06:20The champion, Kobashi, with an orange shirt.
06:23Oh!
06:24Reverse sweep!
06:25He's in a good place.
06:27The champion, Kobashi's reverse sweep.
06:32In this series, only Taue's headlock has caught the eye.
06:36In this series, Kobashi Kenta has also stolen a foul from Taue.
06:40However, this is the final three-time unified heavyweight championship.
06:44Taue can't carry the game as he wants.
06:47First, he takes a down from Taue.
06:49And this time, Kobashi's unique brain buster with a long time in the air.
06:54He hasn't dropped it yet.
06:56Great!
06:58Here, he drops the brain buster.
07:03This is the second defense, Kobashi Kenta.
07:07Recently, Kobashi has been declaring the new era of all-Japan pro-wrestling.
07:14A new power, a new generation of Taito.
07:17For that, he wants to take the lead.
07:20He wants to give more and more challenges to young people.
07:24And he got the lead from himself.
07:26In this series, in the first half, he divided the ace and bloodline.
07:31Even so, Kobashi Kenta, from this defense with Taue,
07:35He is aiming for a fresh start as a champion.
07:42And a headlock!
07:44Oh, Kobashi...
07:45Oops!
07:46He's in a loop, but he's not down yet.
07:49But he looks a little worried.
07:52That was a good place to enter.
07:55The first kick.
07:57Kobashi escaped the trouble here.
08:07And a headlock!
08:08Oh, he missed it!
08:13And a headlock!
08:14And a headlock!
08:16For Kobashi, he's declaring a new era.
08:20He wants to take the lead.
08:22He's fighting while feeling responsible for what he's saying.
08:27That's right.
08:29For Kobashi, who has been calling for Taue as a challenger,
08:35he's a very good opponent.
08:37He's in a loop.
08:40And another thing to look out for in the third round
08:43is that these two are making their debut at the same time.
08:48They both entered in 1987,
08:51and Taue made his debut in January of 1988,
08:54and Kobashi made his debut in February.
08:57In that sense,
08:58I think it's a big game for the two of them,
09:02to have a main participation in the Nippon Budokan at the same time.
09:05What do you think, Mr. Kobashi?
09:07Well, I don't know until I hear it from him.
09:10Actually, two years and two months ago,
09:12these two fought in the third round.
09:14The champion at the time was Taue,
09:16and the challenger was Kobashi.
09:18In this fight,
09:20the two of them fought in the third round,
09:22and among the many strong fighters,
09:24Taue was the one who said he was very happy to fight with the two of them.
09:29I think it was probably the same for Kobashi.
09:34And the two of them,
09:35in the second round of the third round.
09:41Kobashi entered the All-Japan Pro-Wrestling
09:44two months earlier than Taue.
09:47However, Taue made his debut a month earlier.
09:51At that time, Taue entered the All-Japan Pro-Wrestling
09:54from Kakkai,
09:55and he was a former heavyweight champion.
09:57Taue made his debut in the All-Japan Pro-Wrestling.
10:00And his debut match was in January of 1988.
10:03He made his debut in a tag match
10:05with Giant Baba,
10:06who I just explained.
10:09At that time,
10:10Kobashi was the son of Baba.
10:14Taue kicked Kobashi.
10:19Kobashi watched Taue's debut match
10:22as a trainee outside of the tag match.
10:26Since then,
10:27Taue has been fighting for the All-Japan Pro-Wrestling title
10:30for 10 years.
10:32A fierce battle in front of the crowd.
10:34Taue's kick!
10:37Taue was knocked down.
10:41And Taue jumped!
10:43Taue's goal!
10:46Taue jumped!
10:52Mr. Baba,
10:53Taue is 192 cm and 120 kg.
10:58He has a big body.
11:00It's a big weapon.
11:01Yes, it's a big weapon.
11:03If you don't have the skill,
11:08if you don't have the power,
11:10you won't be able to give that much of a kick.
11:19I've seen Taue's matches so far.
11:23His fights are quite slow.
11:25I see.
11:26That's right.
11:28They are both big-bodied people.
11:32They may be big-bodied,
11:34but Taue needs a bit more speed.
11:38In terms of speed,
11:40Kobashi is a step above Taue.
11:43How will Kobashi speed up
11:46to stop Taue's stamina and speed?
11:49Oh, that's a high kick.
11:51In terms of speed,
11:53Taue is at this pace until the end.
11:56I see.
11:57In that sense,
11:58this is Taue.
12:00He wants Taue to speed up more.
12:04That's right.
12:05Now, Kobashi is in the lead.
12:09In order to defeat Taue,
12:11the champion, Kobashi,
12:13how will Taue fight?
12:16Taue and Kobashi.
12:19Taue is 6 years older than Kobashi.
12:21However, Taue has a lot of experience.
12:24At that time,
12:25Taue was a big obstacle
12:27for Kobashi.
12:30Since 1994,
12:32the two of them have been
12:34in the lead three times in a row.
12:37Since then,
12:38Taue has become
12:40an unreachable obstacle for Kobashi.
12:42Now, the champion, Kobashi.
12:43Oh, the champion, Kobashi,
12:44has fallen.
12:48Looking at the match so far,
12:50Taue is in the lead.
12:52How is Taue's flow?
12:55No, no.
12:56I don't think Taue is in the lead yet.
13:00I see.
13:03However, the two of them
13:05have the stamina to get up
13:08and attack
13:10even if they are in the lead.
13:13Yes.
13:15That's right.
13:16Taue and Kobashi
13:17have both experienced
13:19a 60-minute draw
13:21in 10 years of pro wrestling.
13:25Kobashi is in a singles match,
13:27and Taue is in a world tag match.
13:29Kick!
13:30It's a push-out kick!
13:35This is...
13:36Oh, this is a little...
13:37It's just around the ribs.
13:40This is a very weak spot
13:41in the ribs,
13:43but it went in there.
13:44Oh, and this is the apron side.
13:46Taue is in the apron side,
13:49and Taue has a chance
13:51in the apron side.
13:54Oh, did he grab it? Did he grab it?
13:58The throat is burning!
14:01Kobashi is in danger!
14:03Oh, it's a DDG!
14:05DDG!
14:07He hit his head on the apron!
14:11Kobashi was well prepared.
14:18Kobashi was well prepared.
14:25Taue can't get up.
14:27He's about to get up on the apron side.
14:29Kobashi, shoulder tackle.
14:31He knocked Taue down.
14:33Oh, and the blue corner is back in the air.
14:36It's dangerous! It's dangerous!
14:37It's dangerous!
14:38Oh, it's a DDG!
14:39It's a DDG!
14:40It's a DDG!
14:41It's a DDG!
14:42It's a DDG!
14:43Where is Taue going to drop from there?
14:47The shoulder!
14:48Taue is looking up from below.
14:50Kobashi is down.
14:51What is he doing?
14:53Oh, he's got a corner.
14:55He's got a corner.
14:56He's got a corner.
14:57He's got a corner.
14:58He's got a corner.
15:01Taue is out of bounds.
15:03Kobashi is on the apron side.
15:10Now, which of the two will be able to draw the flow in this out-of-bounds battle?
15:16It's a powerbomb situation.
15:19Taue has made a mistake.
15:21Oh, but...
15:22Oh, Taue's kick.
15:24Kobashi's chop.
15:25Another kick.
15:26And...
15:27It's a powerbomb situation!
15:32In the out-of-bounds, the powerbomb goes to the champion, Kobashi!
15:39And Kobashi is back.
15:42How is the damage to Taue?
15:51Kobashi!
15:55Challenger Taue.
16:01Kobashi has knocked him down.
16:04And now, he's back in the ring.
16:07He's going to settle it in the ring.
16:11He's going to make it clear.
16:22Taue's chop.
16:24Kobashi can't afford to lose.
16:33This is pretty...
16:34He's going for the top of the pole.
16:37Taue is down.
16:38And Kobashi.
16:39Once again, from the center.
16:41It's the same angle.
16:42Around the top.
16:43And Taue is down.
16:44How is the counter?
16:47Taue!
16:49Taue!
16:53Taue.
16:54Taue has a good reaction.
16:57But where?
17:00Will they be able to decide the winner?
17:03Kobashi has a lariat.
17:04And Taue has a throat injury.
17:09Kobashi is back.
17:10It's an Ars Nelson situation.
17:16He's smoking.
17:17From there.
17:18He won't let him throw.
17:19Taue.
17:20He's kept his distance.
17:21Kick.
17:22And now, in the center of the ring.
17:26Taue.
17:27He's returned it.
17:31He's going for the kick.
17:33And now.
17:35This is a guillotine whip.
17:39Taue has a lot of power.
17:41DDT.
17:43Kobashi got up.
17:44Chop.
17:45Kick.
17:46DDT.
17:47He's returned it.
17:48Taue has got up.
17:49Kick.
17:50Kobashi is straight.
17:52He's got his back.
17:53Charm.
17:54He's got his back.
17:57Taue has got up.
17:58Kick.
18:00Charm.
18:01Kick.
18:03But Taue is knocked down.
18:09Taue is knocked down.
18:12Both of them have been attacked.
18:14Both of them have been attacked.
18:18But looking at this situation.
18:20The two of them have been fighting each other.
18:22It's a fight between pride and pride.
18:25That's right.
18:26But the fight hasn't started yet.
18:30I think the winner will decide what kind of attack they will do.
18:35Yes.
18:36Of course, both of them still have a lot of power.
18:40Taue has entered the sweeper hold.
18:44The fight has been going on for 15 minutes.
18:49Taue has taken a lot of damage.
18:51But Kobashi has a low kick.
18:59Kobashi has taken the title from Taue in June.
19:02Oh, this is the title of the reverse DDT.
19:04Reverse DDT.
19:06Taue has entered the cover.
19:10And 2.
19:12This is the second defense match for Kobashi.
19:15And this third title is the second title.
19:19At first, Taue has taken the title from Kobashi in July.
19:24At this time, Taue has defended twice.
19:26Oh, this is the cover.
19:27Taue has entered the cover.
19:30And 2.
19:33However, Kobashi has lost the first three titles to Misawa in January last year.
19:38From there, Taue has entered the cover from Misawa.
19:41And Kobashi has taken the title from Taue in June.
19:44Now, is this the victory?
19:46Taue has entered the cover.
19:50This is the cover.
19:55Both of them have been studying their opponent's big moves.
19:59Before they can use their big moves, they have to make some countermeasures.
20:03Taue and Kobashi.
20:05Kobashi.
20:07Kobashi has Moon Shout Press.
20:09And Lariat.
20:10And Taue has Dynamic Bomb.
20:13And Nodo has Otoshi.
20:16Probably, both of them have their big moves.
20:18Until they can use their big moves, where will they use their big moves?
20:21That's right.
20:24A head-on chop.
20:27And Kan-nuki.
20:28Kan-nuki.
20:29Kan-nuki.
20:31They decided to use their big moves.
20:33Motoki, Ryo, and Tamaki.
20:36Taue is closing in.
20:39And they are facing left and right.
20:42From the Kan-nuki position.
20:44A hard drop.
20:46Kan-nuki.
20:53They have decided to use their big moves.
20:56That is a big move that only big people can do.
20:59That's right.
21:00That's right.
21:02And one more time.
21:07A head-on chop.
21:08And Taue is closing in.
21:10This is a big attack.
21:14Kobashi's arms are about to break.
21:17Kan-nuki Suplex.
21:19He pulled it out.
21:23Kan-nuki.
21:25A head-on chop.
21:27Babasan is a big body, so he can't use his big moves.
21:32That's right. He can't throw the head-on chop.
21:36He can't throw it in that position.
21:39He's going for it.
21:40Kobashi's arms are about to break.
21:43He threw it out.
21:50The champion, Kobashi, is in trouble.
21:51The challenger, Taue, is in the lead.
21:55Jumping High Kick.
22:00Jumping High Kick.
22:07That's dangerous.
22:09He's rolling.
22:12Heart Intake.
22:16And the champion is in the lead.
22:20There's a fight going on in the background.
22:23Taue and Akira's throats are about to change shape.
22:31Taue is in the lead.
22:37Taue and Akira's throats are about to change shape.
22:42Taue.
22:44Taue's grab is too big.
22:48His throats are about to explode.
22:51He's going for the chop.
22:53And a knee kick.
22:57Kobashi is grabbing the rope.
23:01Kobashi is holding on.
23:05He's grabbing his throat.
23:07Kobashi is holding on.
23:11Kobashi is trying to get back to his feet.
23:13He's grabbing him by the legs.
23:16He's grabbing him.
23:17He's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got it, he's got
