00:22Merci à tous d'avoir regardé cette vidéo !
03:25Introducing first to my left, the challenger from Tokyo, Japan.
03:32Weighing 200 pounds, Marufuji Nayo Michi!
05:45Marafuji made his pro wrestling debut on August 28th of 1998, has been a staple of pro wrestling
05:52ever since. July of 2003 he along with his partner Kenta won the GHC junior tag team
05:59titles. We'll see Kenta later on this evening to take on Loki, a big opportunity in singles
06:05competition here for Marafuji against Danielson. Danielson in control with the Greco-Roman
06:10Knuckle-Eye. Nice reversal there by Marafuji. Jerome Danielson now just stepping on his hands here
06:18while looking out to the crowd figuring out what he's going to do next here. Contemplating his next
06:24move. Nowhere for Danielson to go he gets spent on the bottom obviously Marafuji trying to get him
06:30ahead of the champ. Interesting strategy in Spain. While we're at it let's get this out of the way
06:36right now everybody. It's time to pay the bills. RLHwrestling.com. 215-781-2500. Much more than
06:43RLH. DVDs, shorts, figures, and more from WWE, TNA, Japan, and many indies. Check out the Straight
06:51Shooting Series for the best shooting reviews anywhere. The editions include Jim Cornette and
06:56Bill Watts together. As well, Percy Pringle Volumes 1 and 2. And coming soon, Straight Shooting with Lance
07:03Storm. RLHwrestling.com. 215-781-2500. Marafuji off the rope shoulder tackle. Neither
07:10man going down. Now it's Danielson contemplating his next move. And it's a slap across the face.
07:19Both men just exchanging chops right in the center of the ring. Forget trying to get me to his head.
07:25They're trying to get some respect here in the early going now. Marafuji unable to take Danielson down with a
07:30running forearm strike. Step over by Danielson. Leapfrog from Marafuji. Leapfrog.
07:36Goes for the dropkick, but Danielson kicked him out. And Marafuji made nothing but the canvas.
07:42Jackknife cradle from Danielson. Marafuji bridging up. Bring his shoulders off the canvas.
07:48Holding on to Danielson. Looking for the backslide here.
07:52Both men go for a dropkick after Danielson lands on his feet. It's a stalemate.
07:58Both men are able to gain the advantage here in the early going.
08:01Two very well matched up athletes doing battle here.
08:08Tangerson wants to shake hands. Extending the canvas friendship.
08:12To the visitor. It's in the water. And another slap across the face.
08:19Now they're a bit of payback from Marafuji right there.
08:22Return in the favor. I saw him cut from the champion.
08:28Marafuji will not back down.
08:34Tangerson thinking better of it.
08:36And we saw Marafuji trying to get in Danielson's head a little bit earlier.
08:39Now maybe it's Danielson trying to get in Marafuji's head.
08:43Another European uppercut.
08:47Overhand shot, traditional shot.
08:51Headbutt from the champion.
08:54Snap there, brings him down to canvas.
08:56Grabbing one of the chin lock.
08:58Danielson trying to set the pace here.
09:03Controlling the arm as well as the head.
09:09Both arms now grapevine by the legs.
09:11One point back.
09:18Right in the center of the ring.
09:19Danielson has it locked in.
09:20No one for Marafuji to go.
09:22Changes it up a little bit.
09:24Danielson began the year in an intense feud against Homicide.
09:28That saw a best of five series.
09:30With each match having a different stipulation.
09:33It was Danielson that won the series in a steel cage matchup.
09:36At that final showdown at Dayton, Ohio.
09:38However, the next night at Nowhere to Run, Danielson failed to defeat Austin Aries for the world title.
09:45And he walked out of our way.
09:47He felt that he couldn't win the world title.
09:50He had no business being in Ring of Honor.
09:52That was his goal.
09:53He finally returned at Roy by Honor 4 to defeat James Gibson and win the world title in a classic
10:00hopeful game of human chess.
10:03Now Dragon plays by his own rules.
10:05The belt is wrestling freedom to Bryan Danielson.
10:08And no one.
10:09Not the fans.
10:09Not corporate America.
10:11No one tells him how to wrestle.
10:12He does it his own way.
10:15Nice.
10:15Fuji back to his feet.
10:16Look at the quickness of Marafuji here.
10:19Taking control at all.
10:20We just saw a good shot on the chest of Bryan Jameson right there.
10:24Look how blistered it is already after just a couple of chops from Marafuji.
10:28Still scoring obviously from the chops of Roderick Strong in a couple of matches they had back
10:33at this week's War and Vendetta.
10:35That's Marafuji in the corner.
10:37Sinclair looking for the clean break from the champion.
10:39But no, drives the shoulder in the midsection.
10:42Another European upper cut from Danielson.
10:47Getting very aggressive here and a slap across the face.
10:51Marafuji will not back down.
10:53They're just trading slaps now.
10:54And down goes Danielson.
10:58Comes right back to his feet and again they exchange slaps.
11:03Now a kick to the midsection from the challenger.
11:05Forbes in the corner now.
11:07He's got Danielson at the middle corner.
11:09Reversal of the Irish whip.
11:11Marafuji takes the buckle.
11:12Danielson charges right to the move.
11:16Marafuji out of the corner.
11:19Snapmare takes the champ over off the ropes from Marafuji.
11:24Hung up on the top rope there.
11:26It's his balance and connects with the camp.
11:32Looks like he was going to lose his balance quickly but he was able to recover.
11:36Looks for the cover and that's a near fall of it.
11:39Now he's got Danielson in the chin lock.
11:42Marafuji likes to put a variation of a maneuver that's fakely popularized in Ring of Honor.
11:48Known as the sliced bread number two to use as one of his trademark finishing points.
11:53No doubt looking to soften up Danielson to go for that very maneuver in this matchup.
11:57A lot of damage to the neck though.
11:59And that move a double stop to the forehead.
12:03Marafuji taking control of the world champ here.
12:06Not intimidated in the least.
12:08Just twisting the bottom of his tooth across the forehead.
12:12Now Brian Danielson goes for the cover here.
12:16Danielson kicks out quicker.
12:18Uji staying right on top of him with that front face lock.
12:25Aside from Kento Marafuji winning the GHC Junior Tag Team titles as a tandem,
12:31they also came up the winners of the DIFFICUP Junior Tag Team Tournament in May of 2005.
12:37Defeating Ikuto Hidaka and Minoru Fujita in the finals.
12:41Now holding onto the chin in the mouth.
12:43And Danielson wants his way back to his feet.
12:47Trying to fight his way out here as they're both in a standing position.
12:56Trying to go for that cross-faced chicken wing.
12:59A move we've seen Danielson use very effectively recently.
13:03Danielson down to one knee.
13:04Trying to break free.
13:06Changes it out.
13:11Right in the center of the ring.
13:13Modification of the Dragon Sleeper.
13:15But Danielson with the knee strike breaks free of that.
13:18That is one way to get out of the hole.
13:19But it doesn't even phase Marafuji.
13:21Comes right back and fires a kick to the back of the head.
13:25Trying to maintain the advantage here.
13:28In his quest to make history.
13:30I saw the world title change hands last year at final battle.
13:33Could we see it happen again this year?
13:36Danielson kicks to the floor.
13:39Marafuji is going to go right out after him.
13:42Waiting for Danielson to get back to his feet.
13:44Kicks away at Danielson.
13:47And he catches the leg of Marafuji.
13:50And drops him on the apron.
13:52Too much time taken there by the challenger.
13:54Give the champ a chance to recover on the floor.
13:56He's looking for a suplex.
13:57He's going to suplex him on the floor.
13:58What's he do?
14:01Trying to get him up.
14:02Marafuji trying to block.
14:03Trying to use his leverage.
14:06Trying to get Danielson.
14:08Who's going to be able to get the maneuver?
14:11Both men struggling on the apron.
14:15And they're fighting for it.
14:19Marafuji back inside the ring.
14:20Connects with a strike.
14:22Comes charging.
14:24Sunset trying to take him down to the floor.
14:26Danielson holding on with dear life.
14:30Marafuji trying to power him off the apron.
14:32But a right hand stops him in his tracks.
14:34Danielson saved himself right there.
14:37From searching doom.
14:38Being taken down to the floor.
14:40With Sunset Parma.
14:41And now he's going to unleash some rage on Marafuji.
14:45Even attempting it.
14:47On my knees.
14:48Barricade he goes.
14:50Wearing the photographers out of the way there.
14:52As he fired Marafuji off the guard rails.
14:55Once again, Marafuji hits the speed.
14:59How about Marafuji now?
15:02Something else we've seen out of Bryant Danielson is late.
15:06Joy with the fans in the front row.
15:09Very aggressive, very cocky.
15:14He likes to feed off the fans energy.
15:17And let them make him a little bit more aggressive in the ring.
15:23No one's going to tell him how to wrestle neither.
15:25Certainly not the fans in his eyes.
15:28Pitches him back inside Danielson.
15:30He's got this thing in hand.
15:33That little cross Marafuji able to kick out.
15:39Rolls him onto his chest.
15:42Looking for the silver.
15:47Paws up the legs.
15:48A challenger.
15:49Now he's got hold of the arms.
15:51He's got it.
15:54Marafuji trying to fight it off.
15:56There's a big pressure on the back.
15:58He's grabbed hold of the arms.
15:59He's got one.
16:00Just grinding the fist into the lower back.
16:02Forcing him to move the arm.
16:04He's got both.
16:06He's got both.
16:07He's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got, he's got.
16:16And elevates Marafuji up the canvas.
16:19Richard Portman, the arms, the shoulders, and the back as well.
16:23He grabs hold of the chin.
16:25We can see a submission right here.
16:30Reason's set from the hole.
16:32Danielson keeping holding the leg.
16:33Wounds him over once again.
16:35Saw Marafuji grabbing at the knee.
16:36Wounds him over once again.
16:38One more time.
16:41One more time.
16:44The fans denied.
16:46And he drives the knees to challenges down to the canvas.
16:50I said it just a minute ago when he proved me right there.
16:53He is not going to let anyone tell him how to wrestle least above the fans.
16:57Spinning toe hold.
16:58Glenn Danielson.
17:00I want to look on that leg.
17:09Standing figure four here.
17:10Tremendous pressure putting on the knees.
17:12Trying to chop his way out of it.
17:15A little effect from those chops.
17:17Hitching back.
17:18Oh, so much pressure put on the leg.
17:40Tremendous pressure put on both the knee joint and the ankle.
17:45With that bridge by Danielson.
17:47Tremendous neck strength by the champ shown as there as well.
17:52And the fans here getting behind Marafuji.
17:55You hear us?
17:56You hear us, huh?
17:57You hear us, huh?
18:00Slap to the face.
18:01He's disrespecting the challenger.
18:03Talking more garbage and Marafuji fires back.
18:07More on exchange by these two competitors.
18:09He is not going to be intimidated by the champ.
18:12Reversal.
18:14Ducks the elbow.
18:15Dancing going behind.
18:16Get out!
18:18Glantz and more on top of his head.
18:20Oh, that could be it right there.
18:21Danielson neckling for a couple right away.
18:26Finally does.
18:28He's able to kick out.
18:30He got Glantz right on top of his head.
18:33Again with the spinning goal.
18:34Fruxing on the way.
18:35Staying right on top of him.
18:37Figure four.
18:38Traditional figure four.
18:39A flag down on the canvas.
18:40And right up in the center of the ring.
18:43And they slap him over once again.
18:46Gann exchange and slaps right in the face.
18:50Danielson pulling his own body up off the canvas to get more leverage on the hold.
18:54Go, go, go, go.
19:10He's going to try the other way.
19:11No, no, no, no.
19:12No, Danielson keeping him home.
19:15Snapping his own body against the canvas to apply more pressure.
19:19Todd Sinclair right there.
19:20See if Marafuji wants to give it up.
19:22He says no way.
19:25Marafuji also needs to worry about his shoulders from the pain being forced down to the canvas
19:29and hitting himself here.
19:33Payne's trying to rally Marafuji again here.
19:36Turns it over.
19:37And Danielson now is the one in a world of pain.
19:42Reaches the ropes to force a break.
19:45Danielson quickly makes it to the ropes.
19:47But how much damage was done to Marafuji's knee?
19:49A tremendous amount of damage.
19:51And Danielson has picked that body part to focus on during the course of this matchup last fall.
19:58Marafuji back to his feet.
19:59Another slap.
20:02Right upside the face.
20:06You've got to give the challenger credit.
20:08He will not back down and itch.
20:10But he's just angering Danielson each time.
20:14Great hand up and cut from the champ.
20:15He's trying to break it up.
20:17Slaggers Marafuji to the corner.
20:19The champ's going to follow him in.
20:20Slap to the face and the challenger fires back.
20:23And fourth they go and now just breaking it the face of the challenger.
20:29And he has a top five.
20:32As if we didn't already know.
20:34I thought he was a three-line senior official Dodson player.
20:36Danielson chains a tire mask.
20:39Gets Matt with a drop kick though.
20:45Still a tremendous amount of spring in the legs of Marafuji.
20:49But slow to follow up.
20:50He is trying to pull into the right hand.
21:00Danielson back to his feet.
21:02Grabes holding the waist.
21:03That's a bellier back suplex.
21:05Arafuji lands on his feet.
21:07There's a roll to below.
21:08He drops to the hold.
21:09Luigi on theierra basement drop kick right to the side of the face.
21:13And the champ is stunned in the corner.
21:17Marafuji capitalize on this break now.
21:19Fires the champ to the core. He's going to follow him in.
21:22Leaping elbow connects on the front of the jaw.
21:25Great height and elevation on that. Full impact.
21:29Now taking him up to the top turnbuckle.
21:32Arafuji all the way out top.
21:35Going for the top one of Frankenstein.
21:37Or Danielson holds on.
21:38It gets a net with a drop kick.
21:43Only two.
21:44Arafuji connecting right to the midsection on Danielson as he came off the ropes.
21:49Only able to get two.
21:51Boot to the face again.
21:55And each time he kicks him, you'll notice Danielson gets even more determined.
21:59Expression on his face.
22:01Angry.
22:02More pissed off.
22:03Fighting for the suplex here.
22:09Either man able to get it.
22:11Forearm from the challenger.
22:13And again.
22:15Right hand right to the jaw.
22:16Did you hear that impact from Arafuji?
22:19Now he can get the suplex.
22:21No.
22:21Danielson still.
22:23Logging successfully.
22:26Danielson over the top into the floor.
22:30Fortunately for Danielson, it looked like on his way over his back.
22:33Missed the road.
22:35Not as much damage in that move as I would have thought.
22:38He was able to avoid the game on his way now.
22:40Baseball slide drop kick.
22:42Swat it away.
22:43And sends Arafuji into the field.
22:53Danielson with the dive crashing into the guardrail.
22:56He'll pay suicide into the floor.
22:59And both men feeling the effects of a very hard block foul.
23:04He's to bring the action back inside the man.
23:08The rims of the champ crashing right on top of the guardrail.
23:11Did do damage to Arafuji as well.
23:14The impact took its toll on the body of both men.
23:17But Danielson's the one on his feet.
23:23Pitches in back inside.
23:26Some more choice words for the fans.
23:29That is in New Jersey.
23:30American Dragon flies.
23:32Missile drop kick.
23:34There's a runaway across the ring.
23:37The champ has things in hand right now.
23:41Marafuji and a heap in the corner.
23:44Danielson pulls him back up.
23:47Butterflies the arms.
23:50Butterflies suplex with the bridge.
23:52But only two.
23:59Danielson, hand for a hair.
24:01Kicking away at the side of the head.
24:06Got a little split.
24:09Bronson, both competitors here in attendance.
24:12Versus Marafuji at pot.
24:14Amazes me how anyone can still cheer for this man.
24:16For this thing he has treated the fans with over the past two months around here.
24:20They recognize his abilities.
24:22Marafuji trying to put his way out of this position.
24:24He comes to the head.
24:28And Danielson just on the top turnbuckle.
24:31Fuji able to slip out of the back door there.
24:35Danielson trying to fight off.
24:37Marafuji trying to hang him out.
24:39In the tree alone in the corner.
24:41Open hand strike from Danielson from this position.
24:43And again.
24:45Can't have much on those strikes being hung upside down like that.
24:48It's still a slap fight even with one of these men in the tree alone.
24:51Stopping around the face.
24:52Here he's a boots right to the face.
24:56Marafuji off the ropes.
24:57And actually the drop there.
24:59Right to the side of the face.
25:00No one could got Danielson to go there.
25:03Still hopeless.
25:04He can't get out of that position.
25:05Danielson can't free himself.
25:07And Marafuji is going to take a chance here.
25:2216 feet across the ring.
25:25And that's for Danielson's face.
25:27Oh.
25:29That's too comfortable.
25:30We need to partner in the center of the ring.
25:32But we're going for the cover.
25:34Waiting for Dragon to get back up.
25:40Fans getting behind the challenger.
25:43Oh.
25:43Marafuji sets his victory here.
25:46Super kick right to the side of the head.
25:48Oh.
25:48He's out on his feet.
25:50Here it is.
25:50He's going for it right now.
25:52Dragon blocks it.
25:55Oh.
25:55Bring it over.
25:57Place luck.
25:58German suplex.
26:00One, two, three.
26:02Oh.
26:02So very close right now.
26:04Let's go to the tabulation.
26:06He's got it.
26:07Tabulation cinched in.
26:09In the middle of the ring.
26:11No, no.
26:12Come on.
26:15Come on.
26:16Come on.
26:18Come on.
26:18No, no, no.
26:20Come on.
26:21Come on.
26:22Come on.
26:24Marafuji withstand the pain.
26:26Can he find a way to make it to the ropes?
26:29He is locked in.
26:30But he has inched his way.
26:32There you see the toe making it to the bottom rope.
26:38Marafuji's hero of this matchup.
26:40Stolen his fight.
26:41He has quest to make history.
26:43And then the ROH World Title I is keeping you with the company.
26:47Danielson places him up top.
26:50Go back there.
26:52He's not going to follow him up.
26:53Both men on the top rope.
26:55Oh my God!
27:01Oh my God!
27:03Yeah!
27:05Oh my God!
27:10One, two, one, two, one!

27:33Try to roll the shoulders down!
27:35One, two, one, two!
27:37Oh! Only two!
27:38Two and three quarters!
27:41Fans chanting,
27:42please don't tap at Marufuji
27:44and he did not!
27:46And he kicked out at two and a half!
27:47But Davidson sets his blood!
27:50Looking to finish him off here!
27:52Looking for the rainbow plex!
27:54You can do that!
27:55Turns it around!
27:57Marufuji connects!
28:01He's two words down!
28:03Look out for the cover!
28:05He dropped the champ right on his head
28:07but he cannot follow up!
28:09Fifth letter down!
28:11Double count administered by senior official
28:13Fox Sinclair!
28:14Three!
28:16What does Davidson have to do to put away Marufuji?
28:20Five!
28:24Six!
28:25Five!
28:26Come on!
28:27Seven!
28:28Bozeman just laying on the canvas!
28:30A kind of seven!
28:31We can have a double knockout here!
28:34Bozeman struggling to get back up!
28:35Oh!
28:36And that ball back out lefty!
28:41Go for another super kick!
28:42Danielsson starts it away!
