00:00IWGP Heavy-Q選手権試合
00:05Out-of-order Challenger Suzuki Minoru選手
00:30They get the chills of Minoru Suzuki coming up the lift here
00:35The Challenger and the chills of us being on the cusp of history
00:44And we'll see whether Minoru Suzuki can put a stop to the legendary streak of Hiroshi Tanahashi
00:54With the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, this our main event
01:00The
01:09Gju藏
01:28And how appropriate it would be that if it is Minoru Suzuki, up to Tanahashi, beat Nagata's record by beating Nagata.
01:45If it's Minoru Suzuki to NBA's here tonight, we can all...
01:49If Suzuki can beat the champion, it would be another blow to Blue Justice as well.
02:01Akako, the 56th champion, Tanahashi Minoshi.
02:1956th champion Walker, his fifth reign, and day number 365.
02:34One year ago to this day, he defeated Satoshi Kojima in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 5 to lift that championship.
02:44And since then, they've all come up and they've all fallen to the ace.
02:53Kojima again, at new beginning.
02:58Yuji Nagata at new dimension, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dontaki.
03:03Charlie Haas in the US, Hiroki Goto.
03:07Jain Bernard, Shinsuke Nakamura, Tetsuya Maito, Toriyano and Yuji Nagata to tie at V10.
03:18And will it be Minoru Suzuki that's the 11th victim of Yoroshi Tanahashi's dominant reign?
03:30Oh, that massive crowd in the Tokyo Dome.
03:36It's not quite to the volume that it used to be or that it would be again.
03:41But under Tanahashi's steady diving hand, it's been getting bigger and bigger by the week, the month and by the year.
03:50And now he faces the man who would later be known as the king of professional wrestling.
03:57The world has come to the feet of the ace of New Japan Pro Wrestling and the world has fallen just the same.
04:16But when we're referencing a world beater, Chris Charlton, a man like Minoru Suzuki.
04:29A man that has been everywhere, done everything, done everything except become IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
04:35The stakes raise even higher.
04:37Yeah, I mean, Minoru Suzuki feels that he was put on this earth to be IWGP Champion.
04:45Of all the things that he's done, Triple Crown Champion, King of Pancrest, a pioneer of mixed martial arts,
04:54has never held that IWGP gold.
04:57On the court's court, 51, 58cm to 120.
05:00Getson, Suzuki Minoru!
05:04On the court's court, 51, 31, 33, Tanahashi Hiroshi!
05:07Very good!
05:10At the court's court, 51, 31, 33, 31, 33.
05:15Tanahashi Hiroshi!
05:45about Minoru Suzuki
05:50about his vendetta
05:54the New Japan with Hontai with Satoshi Kojima
05:59Suzuki stealing away Taichi and Takumi Chinoku from Kojima-gun
06:05and forming Suzuki-gun back at Dontaku
06:10and that reign of terror that Minoru Suzuki has been on
06:17is now culminating here in the Tokyo Dome
06:24as we talk about big match situation
06:28previous singles history between these two men dating back
06:31about eight, nine years ago
06:33their first meeting October 26, 2003
06:36Minoru Suzuki defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi back in Kobe World Hall
06:39would be about a year later Tanahashi gets his own victory
06:42over Minoru back in Shizuoka
06:46a lot has changed about these two men
06:49over the past eight or nine years Chris
06:53indeed you're right
06:56and Tanahashi
06:58you know what I mean Minoru Suzuki has always been about
07:01yes he feels like he was born to be IWGP champion
07:05but also born to be just the strongest in general
07:08Minoru Suzuki has always acted
07:12not on the desire to earn the love of the fans
07:17and the love of the people
07:18not for the love of the game
07:20but to be recognized as the strongest
07:22to be the guy that makes the most money
07:24Minoru Suzuki went on
07:27went on to be Triple Crown champion in All Japan Pro Wrestling
07:32went on to Pro Wrestling Noah
07:34went on to play his trade and fight
07:37really wherever the wins were taken
07:40Minoru Suzuki always staunchly freelance in that regard
07:45key difference between these two men Chris
07:49I'm sure you'd agree with this
07:50Minoru Suzuki a man who admittedly fights for himself
07:53Roshi Tanahashi on the other side
07:54fights for New Japan Pro Wrestling
07:56purely intriguing
07:57that's exactly right
07:58you know I mean
07:59Kojima has turned the corner over the last year or so
08:04but that was the story last year in the Tokyo Dome
08:06Tanahashi representing New Japan against someone where
08:10well Kojima at the time we weren't sure whether his loyalty is quite late
08:14and ever since his first Tokyo Dome main event all the way back in 2005
08:22with Shinsuke Nakamura
08:25carrying the company on his back
08:27carrying the weight of those expectations
08:34cravat positioning here for Minoru Suzuki
08:37run down the numbers a little bit
08:39prelim them earlier on
08:40the 56th ever IWGP heavyweight champion
08:43in Hiroshi Tanahashi it is day 365 of this reign
08:4610 previous defenses going for the record setting
08:4911th defense at the expense of Minoru Suzuki here tonight
08:54total 19 defenses up to this point
08:57903 total days across five reigns
09:00I mean that's already the makings of a legendary career
09:02and there's still much more to go obviously for Tanahashi himself
09:06exactly you're exactly right
09:09and part of that though that the biggest responsibility Tanahashi feels
09:16is in reviving the business
09:19reviving New Japan Pro Wrestling's business
09:21who always point to still does to this day
09:23this match he had with Hiroki Goto
09:272007 November
09:30he defended the IWGP heavyweight title
09:33against Goto back then
09:34in Nuiogoku in Sumo Hall
09:37you've been in that building
09:382200 paid attendance that night
09:41wow
09:42and points to that match is the turning point
09:45because in front of 2200 people they were calling with as loud
09:51and as intensely as 10 times that number
09:54and since then Tanahashi was able to bring those houses back up
09:59a little bit more each time a little bit more each time
10:01and still with that fervor still with that same energy
10:04and now here we are in the main event 2012
10:08there's a lot of ways that you could consider Tanahashi a savior for New Japan Pro Wrestling
10:14but in this match specifically
10:16continuing to fight for the honor of the IWGP
10:19of NJPW itself
10:21Minoru Suzuki fights for his own standards
10:24his own vision of professional wrestling
10:26that purely benefits Minoru Suzuki and Suzuki alone
10:29I mean no Suzuki though
10:31I mean he says of Tanahashi
10:33you know you're just a play wrestler
10:35you know if you're here for the
10:37quite and quite love of the game
10:38you're no better
10:39than a kid wrestling in his backyard
10:42I'm a true combatant
10:44I'm true strength
10:46the true essence of strong style
10:49neither man letting go
10:59of their handfuls of hair
11:06and Tanahashi looks to keep the control here
11:09as it is up all the way to the top here
11:12and Suzuki slows down all momentum
11:16uh oh
11:18I think Tanahashi got cute there
11:20might have wanted to spring off the second rope
11:23but he thought why not
11:24I'll take the top
11:25Payan Dealey
11:26now look at this
11:27oh no
11:28Cobra
11:29right on that top rope
11:31Paretus will get him down
11:37Minoru Suzuki going to run for it
11:39and knocks Tanahashi all the way out to the outside
11:46Si buradan
12:03The再见
12:04The SPEAK
12:06real sense of past present in the future
12:07in the top two matches we've had here tonight
12:08we've had here tonight
12:10we've see in the present, the two very best
12:12start of 2012 Imanoi Suzuki and Tanahashi now semi main event walk it was past versus the future
12:20when Keiji Muto took on Tetsuya Naito it wasn't Naito's night here tonight
12:42and Suzuki walking the dog on the ace here Walker anything he can do to try and stay on top
12:50Tanahashi wants New Japan Pro Wrestling on top Suzuki cannot be damned about the brand itself
12:58about the industry it's all about the industry of Suzuki going there's that dropkick from Tanahashi
13:03one more time all right Tanahashi is going to try and pursue his challenger here
13:11the top block missed out here Suzuki sleeper hold and it's going to drag Tanahashi all the way up that
13:17ramp and the Tokyo Dome is going to get a good long look at both of these two men
13:27there's a live round delivered to the chest feels like sounds like guns going off and this is going
13:46to feel like oh no no no no no no and if we see it that got style got style on the ramp hold on
13:56oh Tanahashi fights out of it and a huge back body drop for the champion you can hear the crack
14:05and we know Suzuki spying on that wooden ramp
14:09and Suzuki runs it and guns it right down into the skull of Tanahashi
14:18it has been a phenomenal night of action so far and it only rolls on further
14:31one two three now RHD supplying the count
14:37five six we all know about the different ways championships can change hands right here
14:43you can change hands on the counts out potentially
14:46you know that Minoru Suzuki more than willing to accept that as a result whatever puts Suzuki into the
14:56history okay Suzuki's got time for calisthenics Taz it slides in at 18 yep right back on the attack
15:04here grounded side headlock pinning attempt only two says Red Shoes
15:08pitchfield
15:09pitchfork pinning attempt only two says Red Shinen
15:25Could susan
15:25Good
15:25Good
15:26Oh, mighty headbutt i, reminiscent of one of his mentors yoshiaki
15:36He gained skull-on-skull, Ruoxa champion.
15:41And now, yep, Suzuki holds on tight, Tanahashi down with the headbutt.
15:52As into the cover, here for Minoru, and it's two.
15:57As one head of the mat away from becoming IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
16:02The one title that has eluded Minoru Suzuki that he's chased.
16:06Oh, look at this, Chris.
16:13The laugh in the face of Tanahashi after all these shots delivered at eight.
16:18How demoralizing it must be to give all you can on a shot like that.
16:25And still he laughs in your face.
16:27Oh, not laughing now, perhaps.
16:28Tanahashi crossed body off the middle.
16:31Got it that time.
16:32After getting caught earlier on in this matchup.
16:36combination offense here from the iwgp heavyweight champion off the ropes here
16:56and a massive forearm rocks minora suzuki
16:59now tanahashi's starting to pick up steam now he's starting to feel himself a little bit
17:09let's see let's see not the band play some hits right here yep right off the middle you know
17:16what's to come up and down senton bomb connects cover here for tanahashi and it's two
17:29yeah tanahashi off the ropes oh my god into stage right was minora suzuki there
17:40just drop kicking tanahashi's block off one of the most underrated drop kicks of the game because
17:48suzuki just gets it short range you never know when it's gonna hit you and bang there it was
17:55minora suzuki's so so equipped to change momentum on the dime we saw it put into play here
18:05but to keep that momentum on his side to halt the ace to become iwgp heavyweight champion
18:15that is the goal from minora suzuki huge kick right to the chest
18:19and we're gonna keep it running for a three no no no no no no tanahashi caught it denies the hat
18:30chicken and oh
18:34thought for a second he was thinking dragon screw but just drop kicked out the other leg
18:39you've seen the results of that drop kick earlier on walker the blood streaming out the mouth
18:45of the iwgp heavyweight champion suzuki trying to find solace now on the floor yeah and seeing your
18:51own blood that's going to do one of two things it's going to knock out your motivation or it's
18:54going to push it even harder and it looks like tanahashi is being pushed even harder than before
19:01but roshi tanahashi
19:02the highest of five flies here we go high fly attack from hiroshi tanahashi this is a high here in
19:12the tokyo dome crashing into the skull of the challenger
19:17and let's take a look at it one more time frog position down and good god that is a bad bad
19:35landing for both of those men bad for tanahashi worse for suzuki
19:44shades of car wreckage here tonight
19:51no suzuki down on the outside i mean give it his best shot to get back inside the ring
19:55but so far i mean red shoes determining that suzuki had just about gotten onto the apron to break the
20:02count but you can hear from the the tempo of red shoes count having no nonsense from earlier on
20:11i think really stretch stretches to breaking point earlier with those antics on the ramp
20:17and 18 cut here suzuki unique offense right on that top rope look at this
20:24gonna snap that on it's illegal but he's got five seconds to break the armor tanahashi
20:33sometimes that's all you need minoro suzuki right back in on the attack
20:40uh
20:47from the challenger
20:56cut the leg dragon
21:00right into jujikotame
21:04minora suzuki the cross arm breaker locked in here
21:06as he says the cross arm breaker
21:18tanahashi
21:21trying to yeah he's got his fingers laced at least but no no separated separated here chris look at it
21:27minora suzuki it's a matter of seconds it is a matter of seconds if you can't release the pressure
21:32walker you see tanahashi trying his best to do that trying to rotate onto his side anything to
21:38alleviate the pressure to the bottom rope the champion makes it
21:42it is the main event in the tokyo dome tonight
21:57it's an attention fans all the way around the world suzuki
22:08his influence very well respected at this time respected and feared tanahashi's fear of influence
22:16growing ever greater
22:19the knee being pressed right into the jaw the bleeding jaw of her ocean
22:23time
22:23ah she and that is not going to help your chances whatsoever
22:27i know this match being viewed oh man by a young john marxley
22:36oh my gosh
22:38go on to be motivated to be a part of new japan pro wrestling circles because of sadistic violence
22:46and sadistic acts like the one minora suzuki is engaged in right now and that is a sick sick man
22:55in the head and physically all over minora suzuki
23:02i wouldn't lick those ropes yujiro takashi probably held onto that earlier on tonight come on
23:09and minora wanted that pump kick it instead tanahashi out there
23:15all the way over the top ways up high again
23:18here it is high fly attack what a combination and he's going to go up again and this time it'll be for
23:25the title walker tanahashi high no
23:31the knees up for minora suzuki minora suzuki knew tanahashi's game plan
23:35oh and now a sadistic sick grin on the face
23:47knowing that he's just taken tanahashi's best weapon from him
23:54that pancrease influence here chris
23:56hard strikes right and left changes levels up down right
24:08minora suzuki is moments away hold on hold on check the kid cover here two
24:14and it's two
24:16tanahashi changes the time
24:19dragon no
24:20straight jacket german suplex from tanahashi and it's two
24:31all of a sudden it's tanahashi that's turned momentum on a dime again
24:37for that straight jacket german suplex on the move
24:40oh misdirection here wanted it doesn't have it here's this sleeper hold locked in for minora
24:47inches away moments away from becoming iwgp heavyweight champion
24:54and grounding out the champion this is exactly what suzuki wanted from the get-go
24:58and either fade into unconsciousness or it'll be days just long enough
25:11for suzuki to go for that god style pile driver
25:15and if we see that god style pile driver we haven't seen it yet but it is all done
25:21here the shutters on the inside cameras flickering to capture the crowning of the new iwgp heavyweight
25:34champion
25:48minora suzuki might have just clutched himself
25:52his first reign as heavyweight champion let's go and hitting attempt here from minora too
25:59and we saw that exact same situation a year ago when minora suzuki wrestled eugenio
26:06got him
26:10full head of steel oh brother knees strike connects cover two
26:23he could monday morning quarterback for suzuki and say well maybe if he sat in the sleeper a little
26:29bit longer red shoes would have called it it might be academic
26:36oh once again once again can always go back that sleeper hold at any time and you'll see it in full
26:41flesh tanahashi reaches out for solace for savior for dear life
26:50the savior of new japan pro wrestling needs all the help that he can get right now from the tokyo dome
26:56from the bottom rope anything they can do it tanahashi's fading
27:04might as well be miles and miles away from that rope those ropes
27:08spots in front of the eyes and he can see about 10 ropes right now
27:12and he can see about 10 ropes right now
27:16points to the heavens
27:17points to the heavens a la corral gotch style
27:20prior driver
27:22we've got it it's over new champion
27:25we have a new iwg pinball
27:31nobody
27:33i mean nobody
27:36kicks out of that pole driver tell us he just did
27:39and it's not often that you see minoru suzuki rock but there has to be a little bit of doubt in
27:48those eyes right now chris
27:55almost you can see the gears turning walker what shall i do next and now he says to tana
28:01come on in stand up
28:07i mean from the looks of things right here it's almost as if minoru suzuki has already won this matchup
28:15we haven't heard a bell but tanahashi is not moving on his own accord
28:18oh tana's now dragon suplex
28:25that last little bit of energy
28:29no way he had enough for a bridge
28:32just to throw suzuki aside for a second
28:37and still like the terminator like every single of your worst horror movie nightmare suzuki still
28:46coming forward
28:51tanahashi plants down minoru and it's in it's done dragon suplex breached in cover no
29:04where does he get it from walker another surge in momentum of adrenaline to bring it to a christian
29:11no
29:25suzuki
29:29i'm not going to lose like that
29:31both men have delivered their biggest shots and it was not enough
29:38it shocks the world to see and it shocks these two men to know
29:44that it's going to take more to end this matchup it's gonna take this
30:01oh my god oh my god
30:04even suzuki wobbled
30:11for his own sickening headbutt
30:15oh i think tana has to go one up there
30:32suzuki's got more though walker
30:35dragon style
30:41tanahashi
30:47swing play for tanahashi
30:55you can see he's starting to crawl
31:00starting to crawl towards the corner had designs on high fly flow but his body won't let him walk
31:06the energy's just not there and that is what these two men are laying it all on the line for
31:11the heavyweight title of iwgp zone
31:15but still it's somehow some way
31:22today
31:23tana has to up high
31:24from the heavens
31:25high fly flow
31:28high fly flow
31:29and it's gonna take one more to put down this sick bastard

31:56in his 5th grade as iwgp champion
32:00we hear the words
32:02the words and still
32:16the incredible depth reserve of energy
32:25of heart and spirit a ton of how she possesses
32:32that was everything you could have hoped for and more
32:40unless your name is minoru suzuki
32:47these two men set out for battle and wrestled an entire war from the ramp so back inside the ring
32:54this is what new japan pro wrestling is all about
33:02so
33:12i hear it suzuki i'm not great with my lip reading but soon to say we aren't done yet
33:18but to the victor for now the spoils and here we're going to go into our special ceremony

34:18and just a little bit more
34:32so
34:42and the champion belt champion.
34:59Don't tell Tana's wife.
35:02Moving to the smiles.
35:04Well, Mayi Rain Walker, the IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
35:19And the questions had to be circling.
35:22I know I was right here, up in the cheap seats.
35:26But just who could stop Hiroshi Tanahashi at this point in time?
35:34Clearly, a cut above everybody in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
35:40But here's a young man who has other ideas.
35:52I believe it or not, it's Kazuchika Okada.
35:54You can hear the reaction, this crowd walker.
36:03I mean, Okada is in absolutely no position to be making this level of challenge.
36:10He had told to go home.
36:13Let's face it, kind of stank up the joint with Yoshihashi a little bit earlier on.
36:19Just barely got by him, and here he is, opposite the champion.
36:21Congratulations on setting a new record with our IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
36:33And, well, thank you for your hard work.
36:38Because, from now on, the Ace era is over.
36:45And the Rainmaker will lead New Japan Pro Wrestling.
36:57It's bad for me, but I don't have to be tired since I was born.
37:03But you're talking to someone who has never been tired.
37:06It's a long day in his life, and you are a long, long way from being IWGP-worthy.
37:20Let's do it.
37:25Are you sure you want to do this?
37:26Yes.
37:27Ok, ok, ok. Okada. Okada, if I want to be a challenge, I'll be able to do it with my力.
37:39Alright, well, the people seem to be on side, so I'll do it with you.
37:46Now, you need to get stronger to beat me.
37:54I can't describe to you, you can hear it through your sets.
37:58I can remember it vividly.
38:00Wow.
38:01The atmosphere in that building have been, who the heck is he, to have issued that challenge.
38:10But, Chris, the chain reaction that would be to follow over the next 10 years of professional wrestling,
38:18completely unprecedented until tonight.
38:20And now, it is a stop for this.
38:21And now we're going to be able to do this.
38:22And now, the Buffalo State, Tokyo Dome,
38:23ure at the time, who is a leader of the pro-less fans at the time,
38:24you were a witness in history in that regard.
38:28But, we are seeing the historical moment.
38:40Thank you and our lives in the 11th defense for Tanahashi.
38:43Well, how do you feel now you're having that belt around your waist?
38:48I always thought that I would have this record and that I would go down in history.
39:13This is the Tokyo Dome, and I will continue to prove that going forward.
39:29And today, it was a really tough enemy of Suzuki Minoru. How did you do this fight?
39:36And I was scared enough that Sheikh Lai Khalif heading into this match with someone like Minoru Suzuki but with the responsibility that I have in New Japan Pro Wrestling, the responsibility I have to these fans, there was no way I was going to lose.
40:04I have finally set that record.
40:33The most defensive.
40:40I understand how Okada feels.
40:45But if he wants the recognition to these people.
40:56He needs to step up in this ring.
41:03It's not a safe space or an easy place to be.
