03:54チーニング時に
04:09llegie 去...
04:15チーニング時に
04:17It is the match the world has been talking about.
04:21Ever since we first heard that coin drop back in Ancho.
04:25And as Gato follows in tow behind, it is not the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada.
04:31Who makes his way down to ringside, but AEW's Kazuchika Okada.
04:36We are joined here on the evening, Chris Charlton, Walker Stewart, and
04:39to my left, Rocky Romero, a man who has a lot of history.
04:43Not just with this man right here, but his opponent who will be ending his
04:47career here tonight, and Hiroshi Tanahashi, Rocky, welcome.
04:51Thank you so much, fellas.
04:53What an honor and a privilege it is to be here on this glorious night.
04:57The retirement of the ace, the final one.
05:02Final matchup between the Rainmaker and the ace, right here at the Tokyo Den.
05:06A little bit less glorious, I'm glad to say we made an end result, Rock.
05:13You really know how to say the right things for them.
05:16Thanks, Chris.
05:17Yeah, we've heard that before.
05:19Kazuchika Okada making his way down to ringside here tonight.
05:23The 18 singles matchup between these two men set to end the career for
05:29the ace of the universe.
05:30You are looking live at the AEW International Champion.
05:34And far and away, a different embodiment of Okada than the last time he
05:39competed here in the Tokyo Den, Chris.
05:419-5-3, the scoreline, Okada has won the last four.
05:46There is no doubt on every level as an athlete, Kazuchika Okada has the upper hand
05:51against Hiroshi Tanahashi.
05:52But there are 46,913 pairs of hands and millions around the world that are gonna be
05:59behind the ace, one more time in the Tokyo Den.
06:06There are 46,913 pairs of hands.
06:16Go, and, go, and, go, and, go.
06:18Go, and, go, and, go, and, go, and, go.
06:24Go, and, go, and, go.
07:58It is the final ride for the ace of the universe, Hiroshi Tanahashi.
08:04Go, man!
08:06Go, man!
08:10Go, man!
08:12Go, man!
08:14Go, man!
08:18Go, man!
08:20Go, man!
08:22Go, man!
08:24Go, man!
08:26Go, man!
08:28Go, man!
08:30Go, man!
08:322,986 matches, 1,596 wins, this is 655th 101 matchup, 392 of them victories, 30 different
08:51championship reigns, 101 G1 victories, 8 IWGP headway championships.
09:01This is the main event of Tanahashi Hiroshi, and we will win a win for 60 minutes.
09:14In the red corner, AEW
09:23RainMeka, Okada Kazuchika
09:33In the red corner, 181cm, 101kg
09:44Tanahashi Hiroshi
09:54It's a match that has absolutely defined what it means to be in the main event of the Tokyo Dome.
10:09Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada will do the dance one final time for tonight.
10:16Fourth and final, as much as we can say, clearly the advantage in singles matches going to Kazuchika Okada.
10:22In the Tokyo Dome, a different animal.
10:25And it is here that Tanahashi is 2-1 over Kazuchika Okada, the last being 10 years gold to the deck.
10:46And this crowd is completely one way, fellas.
10:49Man, the only disappointing part of this match, gentlemen, is that it only has a 60-minute time limit.
10:54It's a feeling that you never want to end, and it's certainly one that we are going to soak in for its duration.
11:00Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada.
11:02Chris, a long-standing history, and it was, well, Okada who made his first big play, his big first name,
11:08won his first heavyweight championship over the back of Tanahashi.
11:11I was right here in the Tokyo Dome Wrestle Kingdom 6.
11:14I was up in the cheap seats when Kazuchika Okada came down after, well, I mean, let's not face it.
11:19Not a great match against Yoshihashi.
11:21And then instantly stepped to Tanahashi and said, well, I'm going to take over from now on.
11:25And nobody could believe it.
11:27Nobody could believe it.
11:28Not even you could believe it, I'm sure, Rob.
11:30A hundred percent.
11:31A hundred percent.
11:32It was then in Osaka, the Rainmaker Shock that changed the world.
11:36The trajectory of Rainmaker started there, like you said, off the back of our Forever Ace for Tanahashi.
11:44I think there's so much that happened over the course of that career.
11:48It was a career turning point, not just for Okada, Rob, but for Tanahashi as well.
11:52Because for a full year, he was unbeaten.
11:56He was just the unstoppable beast.
11:59And there was a moment where Tanahashi, in losing to Okada, he had to confront to a sense his mortality as a competitor.
12:06It set him up for the next 14 years to still be one of the best wrestlers in the world.
12:10But somebody who was beatable, who was fallible perhaps.
12:14And Kazuchika Okada after that, he was unbeatable.
12:17He was unbeatable.
12:18He was IWGP champion for two full years.
12:21And it's interesting, Tanahashi was 35 when he lost to Okada.
12:25When Shinsuke Nakamura was 35, he left to pass his new.
12:31When Kenya Mabel was 35, he did the same.
12:34When Kazuchika Okada was 35, he did the same.
12:36It's almost like there was a moment where those men, faced with the same mortality that Tanahashi had,
12:42chose to take a different path in their careers.
12:44But Tanahashi always, from day one to day final, right here in New Japan.
12:49In a world of a lot of debate, who goes where, who goes what, what professional wrestling canvas that you see covering any sort of ring,
13:01Hiroshi Tanahashi has been New Japan Pro Wrestling through and through.
13:06And here we stand it today.
13:09Color Novo tie up for Kazuchika Okada and Hiroshi Tanahashi.
13:12The first time that these two men have tied up in a singles capacity since February of 2024.
13:18That's when we said goodbye to Okada full time here in NJPW.
13:24Now, Maraki, I'm sure you could speak heavily to this.
13:28Kazuchika Okada, certainly not the same man that he was whenever he was a prime on top figure here in NJPW.
13:34He was a part of the Don Callis family over in All Elite Wrestling.
13:37I mean, let's be honest.
13:38I mean, Okada is better than he's ever been.
13:41And he's learned a couple of things, you know?
13:44Maybe a shortcut here and there, but I mean, he's, you know, still the ray maker.
13:48It's not exactly needed.
13:49There's no doubt about that, those shortcuts have been certainly seen more recently than not.
13:55Out of Kazuchika Okada in the latter half of 2025.
13:58Are you expecting Chris Charlton to see any of those shortcuts against Tanahashi here?
14:03I mean, Kazuchika Okada was openly saying you're gonna expect to see that, you know what I mean?
14:08He wants to enjoy taking great delight in being the one to put Tanahashi away.
14:15With every single move of the AEW Okada that we've seen in the arsenal.
14:22And he's been awesome, you're right, Rock, over the course of 2025, 19 and 3 singles record.
14:28But you have to say, those only three men have beaten Okada in the last 12 months.
14:33Karl Fletcher, Kevin Knight, John Marks, but they've all beaten Okada in the last six weeks.
14:39You know what I mean, if there's ever a time where Okada might be feeling some of the impact, maybe, just maybe it is tonight.
14:49Maybe the stars can align for Tanahashi.
14:51Yeah, you gotta think.
14:52I mean, Okada's never been in this situation in the Tokyo Dome.
14:56Such a major crowd here tonight.
14:58Oh, I said 46,000.
14:59Well, thanks Okada for the house.
15:01Well, you will bask in the ace.
15:04Not everyone except Kazuchika Okada, of course, as well.
15:11Oh!
15:12Oh!
15:13Oh!
15:14Isn't that a sight for sore eyes and sore bodies for Tanahashi as well?
15:18That was a harsh, harsh landing for the ace of the universe.
15:21Let's take a look one more time here.
15:22Look at this, look at this.
15:23Good Lord have mercy.
15:24Classed on that ring apron, I think, there, the left knee of Tanahashi.
15:29Greatest dropkick in the business, fellas.
15:31You're witnessing it right here.
15:32Still unbeaten.
15:33You know, Rocky, I'm sure you could speak to this yourself.
15:38Former member of Chaos alongside Kazuchika Okada.
15:41You have long known this man to have one of the greatest poker faces in professional wrestling today.
15:46And then for Okada here, certainly laying the shot here into the guardrail.
15:53Okada, huge boot gonna send Tanahashi to the outside.
15:57We've seen this a few times in their Tokyo-Done battles in the past as well.
16:02But to go to that poker face comment, Rock, I mean, one of the few times we've seen that poker face slip.
16:09Wrestle Kingdom 9 where it seemed, I mean, for all the world, Okada was gonna do it.
16:15And he just didn't quite have enough.
16:18Having to hold on for an entire other year.
16:21But once he beat Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom 10 2016, he was just unstoppable.
16:28An absolute beast.
16:29Uh-oh.
16:30Uh-oh.
16:31No, no, no, no.
16:32Come on, skull first.
16:35And that padding is to protect the crown from our squared circle, not to protect our athletes.
16:41And Tanahashi feeling every single bit of that on the outside.
16:49Rocky, there's a great sense of control.
16:52Kazuchika Okada has, for a long time, had incredible timing inside and outside of a professional wrestling ring.
16:58You're certainly seeing that on display there.
17:00Yeah, 100%.
17:01I mean, he's so calm and collected and that's what makes him so dangerous each and every time.
17:20A lot of enjoyment here, Chris.
17:22A great deal of pride for Kazuchika Okada to show New Japan Pro Wrestling for the first time.
17:27Full and full, the new reinvigorated AEW International Champion, Okada.
17:34Well, Okada said in the press conference yesterday.
17:36Yeah, he knitted to the fact that he'd long wanted to sell out the Tokyo Dome while he was contracted to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
17:43But saying, well, you're welcome to Tanahashi for pushing us over the edge here.
17:50And bringing this 46,000 plus crowd here to bring about Tanahashi's final defeat.
17:58No!
17:59No!
18:01No!
18:05No!
18:06No!
18:10A lot of screams, a lot of pleas.
18:12Tanahashi's starting to need us.
18:14He's starting to need the people, Walker.
18:16Tanahashi, Tanahashi, Tanahashi!
18:21Or whether there has been a little over a couple thousand,
18:25or whether there's 46,000 plus in the Tokyo Dome.
18:28Tanahashi has always had the people, always had some semblance of the people.
18:33Wow.
18:34That is a crushing, crushing blow here for the ace of the universe.
18:39A cover here for Okada.
18:40Hook the outer leg.
18:41Two count only.
18:42Let's be quite honest, but some of Okada's biggest failures, biggest embarrassments,
18:55rather, have been at the hands of Hiroshi Tanahashi.
18:59I mean, for sure, yeah, I mean, like I said, that Wrestle Kingdom 9 anticipation,
19:04I think the world, the experts, they all thought this is Okada's crowning moment.
19:08And leaving in tears.
19:11And at the same time, some of the greatest glories as well.
19:16Okada saying, you know, through our interviews with us on NJPW1972.com,
19:20my greatest rival.
19:21Sometimes at times, my greatest friend as well.
19:24Former Never-Operweight six-man tag team champions together in Okada's last run here.
19:30You're right.
19:31In Japan Pro Wrestling.
19:33Okada here, whip out of the corner.
19:36And it's gonna be a difficult game for Tanahashi.
19:39Okada making him run.
19:40Tanah's gonna have to dive and weave here.
19:42But that's what makes Tanah so dangerous, you know?
19:46I mean, we don't put over and talk about enough about Tanahashi's wrestling IQ and how smart he is
19:53and what a student of the game he's been over the last 26 years.
19:58I mean, he can come out of nowhere with something brand new and pin you in three seconds, you know?
20:05I mean, so never count out the aces.
20:08Something that I think we've learned over and over over the years is no matter what the ace is going through physically,
20:13so many people have counted him out so many times and you just can't count out the aces.
20:18You just never know.
20:19He's just that guy that good.
20:22And playing the hits as well here.
20:24Watch that cover here for Tanah and a two count only.
20:26Rocky, I absolutely agree with every single word you've just said there.
20:30You do not survive, let alone thrive this long in professional wrestling without that level of intelligence.
20:36I mean, for a long time Tanahashi said I never want to be kind of the grumpy old veteran that says kids these days they can't wrestle.
20:43It always, always, always has been learning.
20:46Oh!
20:48That's a classic.
20:51So is that.
20:52Dragon Screw Leg Whip from Hiroshi Tanahashi.
20:56Sometimes it might be something that he picks up in 2025 and sometimes it might be something that was created in 1972.
21:03And a Dragon Screw one more time.
21:16And a specialty of Tanahashi that Okada has felt many times not going to be able to block it there though, Chris.
21:22We've seen it in the times he was able to beat and I'm thinking Wrestle Kingdom 9 specifically.
21:26Repeated Dragon Screws on the ground and he knows Rocky.
21:31Tanahashi is taking a long time to get up to the top ropes.
21:34I mean, he knows his limitations.
21:36He has to make sure if he's going for High Five Four that Okada can't get up and he can't roll out the way.
21:41Absolutely right, Chris.
21:43Oh!
21:44Yeah, shot right to the basement there from Tanahashi.
21:46And Okada, this, I mean, you talk about a smart athlete.
21:50High in-ring intelligence.
21:52You look to Kazuchika Okada here, Rocky.
21:54Smart game to roll to the outside.
21:56Well, when they're smart, so I'm not sure I got an inkling of what Tanahashi might be going for.
22:03And I don't think this is smart at all.
22:04No, no, but it's everything that Tanahashi's embodied over the last 20 plus years.
22:11No, no, no, ace is high!
22:18Let's take a look one more time.
22:24Harsh, harsh impact there from Tanahashi on Okada.
22:30Tanahashi said yesterday in our press conference, well, with all of the settled-out, Toko down,
22:39Chien Mion with every single Tanahashi chant, I'll be able to hit 100 High Fly flows in rapid succession.
22:47One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight, nine, ten, ten.
23:08Count of ten, Okada's gonna have to bring this one back inside the ring.
23:11And that is a count that is soon to be broken here at Okada's whip.
23:18Uh-oh, uh-oh.
23:24And goodbye, Tanahashi one more time for the Dragon Screw.
23:30Dragon Screw over the ropes.
23:34A key move there could be here tonight.
23:49Watch this now, Sling Blade in battle.
23:52Face first goes Tanahashi.
23:55And that Sling Blade will be denied for the time being.
23:59I mean, gentlemen, you both have sat next to me in this broadcast booth for over 120,
24:05130 matches for Tanahashi just in the year of 2025 alone.
24:10An incredible, incredible rate Tanahashi's been moving at.
24:13And it's all to put the exclamation mark on it here tonight, Chris.
24:16The most active year of Tanahashi's career since there was a Young Lion.
24:21Meanwhile, wait a second.
24:23No, no, no, no, no.
24:24You saw the difference.
24:27Okada picked his spots in 2025.
24:30According to Chris Samson, the least active he was at any other point in his career.
24:34You know what I mean?
24:35It's like a sports car.
24:37You know, the Ferrari treatment for Kazuchika Okada in the Don Callis family, Rocky.
24:42No, absolutely.
24:43I mean, Okada's been very smart.
24:45I mean, Don Callis, we know how intelligent he is and what a great manager he's been to Kazuchika Okada.
24:51Watch it.
24:54High down.
24:55There's the elbow drop.
24:56I think it's time.
24:57Maybe it's a sold out house.
24:59Maybe so.
25:00Let's take a look at it.
25:02One last time.
25:05Oh!
25:08How unfortunate.
25:10I love it.
25:11I love it.
25:13Absolutely unfortunate.
25:15This change of pace for Okada.
25:17And now, wrist clutch inbound.
25:21He may not be the Rainmaker any longer, Chris, but with that Rainmaker Larian,
25:27still the most devastating maneuver.
25:29Oh, but a twist and shout from Tanahashi.
25:32Going to land the mark.
25:33One more time.
25:36With good measure here.
25:38Yeah!
25:40Yeah!
25:41Yeah!
25:42Oh, trifecta, on point.
25:43Oh!
25:44Oh!
25:45That doggy determination emblematic of Tanahashi.
25:53No, no, no!
25:54Oh!
25:55Oh!
25:56Piledriver from Okada.
26:00It's not just going to shorten your career.
26:11The mere minutes that may be left of it for Tanahashi, it's going to shorten your lifespan.
26:16I know.
26:17I know.
26:18Tanaashi is going to be spending every day in the office.
26:21I want him.
26:22We all want him to be that healthy, that sunny, that ray of light in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
26:29Okada's looking to snuff it out entirely.
26:32Oh!
26:34Oh!
26:37Okada took the light.
26:40He took the light in ending the career of Genichiro Tenryu in 2015.
26:45He took the light in ending the career of Manabu Nakanishi in 2020.
26:50And now seeming to take the light of ending the career of Hiroshi Tanahashi in 2026.
26:57Oh, come on, Rock.
26:58He doesn't need this at all.
27:00Yeah, I mean, we're going to take a trip here, gentlemen.
27:02It's the Tokyo Dome, fellas.
27:04Wrestle Kingdom 20, why not?
27:06Okada, no, no, no, no, no, no.
27:18What did we just say?
27:19What did we just say?
27:20This isn't good.
27:21Oh!
27:22Good lord!
27:27And I think that's it, fellas.
27:30Put a pin in it.
27:31Okada might as well cross the arms and put Tanahashi's career in a casket.
27:41Tanahashi's career is going to end with him coming out of the Tokyo Dome on a stretcher.
27:46Tanahashi! Tanahashi! Tanahashi! Tanahashi!
27:48And it's all thanks to that smug, self-centered son of a bitch.
27:54And
27:57good on referee Red Shizuno going down there to check on Tanahashi.
28:01But, gentlemen, you know that Tanahashi's not gonna quit.
28:07Even if it might be the smartest thing to do,
28:08he's gonna fight for the very bitter end of it all.
28:10I mean, he might be just trying to even move his body.
28:18Come on, we need him.
28:20He needs us.
28:20Seven, eight, nine, ten, ten, ten.
28:33He can't even stand, fellas.
28:36Never tire.
28:39Never get downhearted.
28:41Never give up.
28:42Please, Tanahashi, don't give up now.
28:45He's never given up on us before.
28:50It's a count of 18.
28:51Abbe, don't bring that down.
28:53Please, please, Tanahashi.
28:55Oh, whoa.
28:57In the nick of time.
28:58If that wasn't a reminder of our own mortality in professional wrestling,
29:06Chris, I don't know what could be.
29:08It's gonna be another, it's gonna be another, god damn.
29:12Come on, come on, come on.
29:13Tombstone pile driver, count it again, count a little faster.
29:17Mikana's gonna lift up.
29:19You grab pass.
29:20I mean, gentlemen, we all wanted win,
29:26loss, or draw Tanahashi to at least be conscious for his own ceremony at the end.
29:32And I just don't know anymore, the cover.
29:42He's gonna pull him up again.
29:44Yes.
29:45Okada said Walker, I want the fans to be pleading with Tanahashi to stay down.
30:01I want the fans to plead, please let it in.
30:05We might do so here, no.
30:08Still Harite, but still the wrist control.
30:11It's not just wrist control,
30:29Jonathan, it's ring control.
30:31And it's full control over the body of our ace.
30:35Until the very bitter end.
30:39Okada is here to prove a point, gentlemen.
30:47Oh, so is Tanahashi, one last point.
30:50Ace maker, ace maker from Tanahashi.
30:56Don't be the one.
31:09Fourty six thousand, 913 in the Tokyo Dome.
31:15And they all wanna see one man walk away the winner.
31:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
31:23Baker.
31:27And now, it's over.
31:30It's over.
31:32It's gonna take more than one.
31:45Because you're looking right there at one in a million.
31:50Maybe the last of the real ones, Walker.
31:57Oh, no, just like Suji.
32:00I mean, what a smart strategy by Okada going after the weakest point.
32:10The chink in the armor of the ace.
32:13Those knees, that lower back.
32:16Is it though, Rocky?
32:18Because the strongest point of Tanahashi is the will, is the heart.
32:22You're gonna have to kill it.
32:29He has to be unconscious.
32:31That's the only way.
32:33I don't think that Okada's above it.
32:36Never give up.
32:38Tanahashi, Tanahashi will be the man to rise above.
32:42If ever we want Tanahashi to never tire, please let it be now.
32:49Boston crowd remains locked in.
32:56And Shizuno checking in on position.
33:00Kazuchika Okada.
33:02Oh, cannot afford to lose foothold here.
33:04Tanahashi driving forward here, gentlemen.
33:07Into the bottom rope.
33:09Unbelievable.
33:10Unbelievable.
33:12Now brutal stops to the back of the head.
33:40Gentleman Tanahashi is in the absolute worst of ways.
33:55And a picture perfect drop kick like that.
33:57That is a no gay dojo produced drop kick.
34:00That only Okada can throw.
34:02And just like this, a rainmaker.
34:04Oh, no, no, no, no.
34:07Oh, no, no, no, no.
34:10Oh, same thing.
34:12Blink Blader.
34:14Blink Blader.
34:18We see Tanahashi play the hits Walker tonight.
34:22But will that last song be a triumphant rock anthem?
34:26Oh, one last time.
34:28Country 2.
34:29Get up, fuck.
34:30Get up, fuck.
34:31Get up, fuck.
34:32Get up, fuck.
34:33Come on, man.
34:35Oh, my God.
34:37Good job.
34:38Whatever song the Ace of the Universe wants to sing,
34:41I only know the world will be singing along.
34:44Hey.
34:45Hiroshi Tanahashi.
34:47Hey, go back to the basics.
34:48This is the man who always said the basics are the most important thing in professional wrestling.
35:02This sleeper hold on no gay dojo special.
35:08Might put him down long enough.
35:12Hasn't done enough.
35:13P.K.
35:14Oh.
35:15A blast from the past.
35:18A page out of the book of his own friends.
35:21Oh, it might take more than that.
35:24Oh, yeah.
35:25It might take all those old friends.
35:28And old bows.
35:30And old blows.
35:32Oh, yeah.
35:37Yeah.
35:40Yeah.
35:41Yeah.
35:42Yeah.
35:43Yeah.
35:44Yeah.
35:45Oh, did it be?
35:46Do you believe?
35:47For the final time in the Tokyo Dome.
35:51Oh.
35:52Why?
35:53Oh.
35:54No.
35:55No.
35:56No.
35:57No.
35:58No.
35:59No.
36:00No.
36:01No.
36:02No.
36:03No.
36:04No.
36:05No.
36:06No.
36:08No.
36:09No.
36:10No.
36:11No.
36:12No.
36:13No.
36:14No.
36:15No.
36:16No.
36:17No.
36:18No.
36:19No.
36:20No.
36:21No.
36:22No.
36:23No.
36:24No.
36:25No.
36:26No.
36:27No.
36:28No.
36:29No.
36:30No.
36:31No.
36:32Can he lose those fingers?
36:42If he breaks the grip, does Okada, there might be even something worse waiting, no.
36:47No, no.
36:50Okada knows this game better than almost anyone else.
36:54No, no, no, no, no.
36:59He got it.
37:01Right on the money, Ta-Nehisi hasn't lost a step.
37:08Full clutch in!
37:13Oh!
37:16Oh!
37:18I don't know whether it will be a hundred, perhaps we just need one more, Wogan.
37:30One more time to put it to an end.
37:37High!
37:38High!
37:39Low!
37:40And it may be a hundred, it will be one more.
37:45All together!
37:46High!
37:47Oh!
37:48No!
37:49Dammit, Ta-Hai!
37:50It wasn't a cheap tactic, and you gotta give credit where credit is due, Chris.
37:54Kazuchika O'Connor was just a step ahead.
38:01You gotta give credit where credit is due, Chris.
38:03Kazuchika O'Connor was just a step ahead.
38:08Come on!
38:09Let's go!
38:10Go!
38:11Go!
38:12Go!
38:13Go!
38:14Go!
38:15Go!
38:16Go!
38:17Go!
38:18Go!
38:19Go!
38:20Go!
38:21Go!
38:22Go!
38:23Go!
38:24Go!
38:25Go!
38:26And you can talk-
38:47Pro wrestling is living and
38:52dying on every single strike tonight.
39:09What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell.
39:39No, no, no, no, no, no, Okada, Okada with the clutch.
39:46And Ta-Nehisi turns it around, watching again.
39:50What's the distance?
39:51Close, and over.
39:55There's a predatory look in the eye of Kazuchika Okada tonight.
40:04That is all there is, I think, I fear, there isn't anymore.
40:11Let's try it.
40:14Okada really has to muscle Tanahashi here.
40:17This has been a long and grueling battle for both men.
40:20Tana is not giving up.
40:27Not one second, he is not gonna make this easy.
40:31He will not lay down.
40:35Yeah!
40:38He's gonna try summing up the strength, but surely he doesn't.
40:4230 minutes deep in this matchup.
40:46Oh, no.
40:47Okada, Okada, Okada.
40:52He can't, he can't, he can't, he can't drop him.
40:58Oh!
40:59Oh, and a Destino style walker.
41:03Oh!
41:04That cobra flows it.
41:09Oh!
41:10Oh!
41:11Oh!
41:12Oh!
41:13That cobra flows it.
41:14Okada now, it's in!
41:15Rainmaker!
41:16Oh!
41:17Oh!
41:18Oh!
41:19Oh!
41:20Oh!
41:21Oh!
41:22Oh!
41:23Oh!
41:24Oh!
41:25Oh!
41:26Oh!
41:27Oh!
41:28Oh!
41:29Oh!
41:30Oh!
41:31Oh!
41:32Oh!
41:33Oh!
41:34Oh!
41:35Oh!
41:36Oh!
41:37Oh!
41:38It is it.
41:40It is it.
41:41It still isn't.
41:43Oh my God.
41:46I think every heart sank, all 46,913 people' hearts.
41:52He the only one, apart from Okada smiling.
41:55After everything.
41:57After everything, after all 2,986 matches, we don't want this to end.
42:08We don't want this night to end.
42:09We don't want this moment in time to end.
42:13We want to keep this in a bottle.
42:17The world will be talking about this night for as long as I'm left on this earth.
42:24Kazuchika Okada wants Talahashi back on his feet.
42:34So he can drive it back off of them one final time.
42:54Okada ascending to the top rope here tonight.
43:02Diving elbow from Okada.
43:12And there's the full Rainmaker pose.
43:16And if it hasn't before the gravities now, Rainmaker!
43:28Diving elbow from the top rope here tonight.
43:4033分 3秒.
43:44Okada Kazuchika's勝利.
43:47We're as dominant as Kazuchika Okada was for the bulk of that matchup.
43:57It was Tanahashi's grit and iron will that persisted.
44:02And for all of everything, to say he wanted to crush Tanahashi, for all the ego, for the middle fingers.
44:08Hiroshi Tanahashi, right at the end, fell only because he brought the old Okada out.
44:17Only because he brought the very best of Kazuchika Okada out.
44:21Because Tanahashi has brought the very best out of every single one of us.
44:27For 26 years.
44:28And it was that final blow.
44:33And he'll go with his eyes closed.
44:35But with a smile on his face, Walker.
44:37The end will be Oshan Tanahashi.
44:39And it was that final blow.
44:41And he'll go with his eyes closed.
44:42But with a smile on his face, Walker.
44:43The end will be Oshan Tanahashi.
44:44Oshan Tanahashi.
45:10Oshan Tanahashi.
45:12Oh, Taz, you must be tired.
45:17Let me just say one thing.
45:42Oh, Taz, you must be tired.
46:12Oh, Taz, you must be tired.
