00:00History made! And will we see history made once again?
00:04We thank Nikaldis as we move to the second half of our main event here at G1 Supercard.
00:11It is Switchblade, Jay White, IWGP Heavyweight Champion,
00:16going against the former champion, the record-breaking champion, Kazuchika Ogata, the Rainmaker.
00:21What a match we will see.
00:25I'm not stunned. I believed in Taven. I knew he had it in him,
00:30but tonight to see him come through on the biggest stage that Ring of Honor has ever had
00:34is something entirely different. It's something entirely different. It's so special.
00:38And he deserves your congratulations. He deserves mine.
00:41We might not agree with everything that Matt Taven stands for or what he does,
00:46but it was all on the line. The rules were all out the window.
00:49Climb a ladder. That's all it was. He did it. Marty Skrull did not.
00:54And neither did Jay Lethal.
00:56And right now, folks, it's our main event time.
00:58Let's take a look at the history of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
01:16We'll leave me here.
01:16Please, tell us.
01:17We'll leave you here.
01:18We'll leave you here now.
01:51Hello America, this is New Japan Pro Wrestling!
01:58Welcome to my new era!

03:31Oh
03:32oh
03:59The revenge of the future is the protest of the garden
04:02Madison Square Garden
04:05It's the secret of the protest
04:08I don't know if you're a party
04:12I don't know if you're a party
04:14I don't know if you're a party
04:18The new Japan Cup
04:23If you're a party
04:30He's going to show people in New Japan. See that again. He should be concerned about me and winning this
04:39belt. I represent New Japan. I represent the new era of New Japan.
04:44I'm going to go on the top of the world. I want to move on to the world. So I'm
04:50really interested in it. And I'm going to go on the top of the world.
04:54This is the new era of New Japan Pro Wrestling! This is the new era of New Japan Pro Wrestling!
05:03IWGP Heavy Q選手権試合挑戦者岡田和親
05:08vs.王者ジェリーホワイト
05:31It's Main Event time!
05:34Madison Square Garden IWGP Heavyweight Championship
05:46Kevin Kelly, Ian Riccoboni, Colt Cabana, Chris Jones
05:51The Translations, we're here
05:53And we're looking at the man
05:55Who is a four-time former IWGP Heavyweight Champion
06:00His fourth reign broke every record
06:0412 successful title defenses, 720 days long
06:28But in the drive for five
06:30What Okada must do is to defeat a man
06:35He has never, ever, beaten
06:38Whether it's 2-0 in singles competition, Kevin
06:42Or tag team affairs
06:46His opponent tonight has had his number
06:49Through and through
06:50And at 26 years old
06:55Here's the guard in the cheek
07:11We going to have to attack in the car
07:30Switchblade Jay White is indeed unbeaten against Kazuchika Okada.
07:37He beat him last year in the G1 on July 14th.
07:44And then, in only 14 minutes, on 1-4, January 4, Tokyo Dome.
07:54Love him, or hate him?
07:57He's the hottest man in pro wrestling right now.
08:00Well, nobody seems to love him here at the Garden.
08:04So the only option seems to be hate him, and he seems to love that.
08:09Oh, yes!
08:11Of course, when he returned from Excursion, he was with Ring of Honor.
08:15Undefeated for nearly nine months.
08:17Returned to New Japan.
08:18Was courted by Bullet Club.
08:20Decided instead to join Chaos.
08:23Kevin, we were talking about it.
08:24Was never a really great fit for Chaos.
08:27When it all fell apart, no one was surprised.
08:29But what was the shock was the man who accompanied Switchblade.
08:33And that's Gato, who betrayed Okada to side with Switchblade.
08:38All joining Bullet Club in the process.
08:41A beautiful, new gold belt around the waist.
08:45A beautiful, new gold belt around the waist.
09:14K.O.S. 191cm 107kg
09:18Rainmaker
09:20Okada Katsuka
09:26Aka Kona IWGP Heavy Q Champion
09:31Ballet Club Switchblade
09:33J.Kowaito
09:42Referee Red Shoes Unno
09:44It's Switchblade J.White vs Kazuchiko Okada
09:47For the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
09:51G1 Supercard Madison Square Garden
10:00Announcement there that Okada stood 191cm
10:04Weighed in this morning 107kg
10:12And now I hand over the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
10:16Lovingly restored to referee Richardson
10:26The Championship was a hot matter of conversation yesterday at the press conference
10:31As restored the nameplate left blank in anticipation for the bout that we will see here tonight
10:37Both nameplates available for the winner of the bout
10:40But J.White took great exception to that believing that he has earned the right to walk in with the
10:46name on the championship bout
10:47And the bell sounds Red Shoes Uno are official
10:52And here we go
11:13The question is whether J.White, whether it affects him or he thrives on it
11:21Yeah
11:23And he is the only one that knows that answer to that question
11:34Now Kevin both you and I are baseball men we know that matchups are key
11:38I wonder if this particular matchup
11:40If this is a matchup nightmare for Okada
11:43The way that Okada has been defeated
11:46And like you said 14 minutes there's some symmetry
11:50With the numbers one and four
11:52Yeah there is
11:53And if you look at when J.White's victories came especially the first
12:00Okada had just lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
12:03And White's victory during last year's G1 came within an over 40 day drought of singles wins for the Rainmaker
12:13Now at Wrestle Kingdom
12:15Maybe there was a little bit
12:17Maybe a little bit of disappointment
12:20For the first time in so many years Okada out of the title picture
12:28But either way the Rainmaker looks to take back what he feels he owns
12:36And that's the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
12:39Right now sends Okada across
12:41Shoulder tack
12:45Controlling the crowd controlling the pace right now
12:48Ghetto's right there
12:49A visual distraction
12:51But enough to allow J.White take the side headlock
12:54And J.White slows that pace down
12:57Look at him
12:58Headlock take over and is just going to sit on it
13:01Does not want this crowd riled up in favor of Okada
13:10Say what you want about Ghetto but it has led J.White to this position right now
13:14You look at the legend that he built in Okada
13:18And mid-race with a lot of wick left on the candle
13:24He betrayed Okada and sided with Switchblade
13:27Yeah he changed his horse didn't he?
13:30Almost mid-race
13:31A crazy bet if you think about it
13:33But Ghetto knows
13:35And it was
13:36It because of that
13:38It wasn't a shock
13:39When Switchblade became IWGP Heavyweight Champion
13:43Of course defeated
13:44Hiroshi Tanahashi for that championship
13:46Yep
13:47The ignominious 8th Reign of Tanahashi
13:51Marked by 0
13:53Title defenses
13:54Hanging on to the hair
13:56Inside headlock tickle
13:57And Kevin we talked about it earlier
13:59You know there's been legends that have had reigns
14:01That have gone 0 defenses
14:03We talked about Tinryu, Fujinami, Vader, Tenzan, Masahiro Chono
14:08It's happened before
14:10And the fact that Tanahashi's name is now etched on that list
14:15As White cranks on the side headlock
14:17I'm sure it's hardly satisfying for Tanahashi
14:21But those
14:22Uh
14:24Zero defense reigns
14:26Haven't happened in a long time
14:27In fact
14:27If Switchblade
14:30Falls to Okada here
14:31It'll be the first time
14:33In New Japan
14:34Since 1991
14:36That there have been
14:38Two successive
14:41Zero reign
14:42Zero defense reigns
14:45The Fujinami Invader
14:47Owning that
14:48In January
14:49March of 91
14:50Those are two absolute legends
14:51Yeah
14:52Hall of Famers as Okada
14:53Bringing Jay White back to his feet
14:55And looking to crank the neck
14:56Delivers the neckbreaker
14:57It's only so long that Jay White
14:59Can get away with
15:00Holding the hair on that headlock
15:02But not even
15:02Barely a one count
15:07So Okada grabbing the hair of White
15:095 minutes
15:115 minutes
15:115 minutes
15:115 minutes
15:12To pick up
15:1360 minute time limit
15:145 minutes
15:2660 minute time limit
15:285 minutes
15:30In that situation
15:30Just like that
15:31In all costs
15:33Now kick to the midsection
15:34It's White
15:34Delivering a clubbing forearm
15:36Yep
15:37Now shooing away
15:38The security staff
15:40Clearing a path
15:41To send Okada
15:43No reverse
15:47Okada
15:48Coming in
15:50Clearing the face
15:51Of Jay White
15:52Sending him over
15:53The barricade
15:53Okada
15:55Okada
15:55Has switchblade
15:56Down
15:58A front
15:59A front row seat
16:00For Jay White
16:01But no longer
16:02What's Okada gonna do
16:03Well he's gonna DDT him
16:05On the floor
16:05And there is that
16:08X Factor if you will
16:10Gato
16:10And now
16:13Wheelbarrowing him in
16:14To the barricade
16:15Okada
16:16In trouble
16:17Gato helping open the door
16:18Hits switchblade
16:20Close it
16:20Now
16:21Colt how do you even
16:24Game plan
16:25For somebody like Gato
16:26On the outside
16:27A man who's led
16:28Two successive
16:29Champions
16:30I'm gonna stop you right there
16:31Because Okada
16:32Knows all about Gato
16:34That is
16:36Nothing that we don't know
16:37That he doesn't know
16:38And that is
16:39Definitely expected
16:41It's almost like
16:42What is Okada gonna do?
16:45One
16:47Two
16:48Three
16:50Four
16:51Five
16:52We mentioned earlier
16:52The twenty count
16:53In New Japan
16:54Right
16:54Seven
16:56Eight
16:56And Okada now
16:59Rolling back underneath
17:01Shea White right there
17:02To catch him
17:03With the heels
17:04Of the boots
17:04And the chest
17:06To the shoulders
17:06Uh oh Okada
17:08Draped under the bottom
17:09Oh
17:10God
17:12Throat first
17:13Right into the bottom strand
17:15To the cover
17:16Two
17:16And a kick out
17:22The champion
17:23Jay White
17:23Basically dominating so far
17:27He was dominant over Okada at the dome
17:30And it doesn't seem to be too much difference right now
17:34And it has been slow paced
17:36That is his game plan
17:38A wear down technique
17:40First with the side headlocks
17:41Now with this reverse chin lock
17:43And rare
17:43Colt for a guy
17:44Just twenty six
17:45To have
17:46That's so rare
17:47Yeah
17:48So rare
17:49Those young guys wanna go fast fast fast
17:52Shoulders to the mid section
17:54The elbows delivers
17:55It's Okada who breaks free
17:57Oh
17:57Takes a back elbow
17:59Rattles him
17:59Cover one
18:00Two
18:02Heavy connection with the elbow
18:04And Okada was put down
18:09Cool and confident though
18:10Is the switchblade
18:13Which is just an amazing thing to think about
18:16We talk about his age
18:17But also his opponent
18:20Okada so dominant
18:21So recognized
18:23Both men pulling off the feet
18:25Of the February new beginning
18:28In Osaka title switch
18:31When Okada did it
18:34Seven years ago
18:35It was called the Rainmaker's shot
18:37And many tried to say that
18:40Oh wait a minute
18:40Here we go
18:42Jay White delivers
18:43Here we go
18:44Right to the cover
18:45Two
18:45And a kick out
18:46Many tried to say that
18:48Oh well if he wins
18:50Against Tanahashi
18:51It will be
18:52The switchblade shot
18:53But Jay said
18:55It's not going to be a surprise
18:57I am going to win
18:59When Okada won
19:01Every jaw was dropped
19:03Not just in the crowd
19:04But in the locker room as well
19:05No one could believe it
19:08But there were many
19:09That were not surprised at all
19:11That Jay White ended Tanahashi's eighth reign
19:14Over the DDT countered
19:15And Jay White
19:16Delivering a DDT to Okada
19:17Weaving in and out is Jay White
19:19Exchange of the wrists
19:21The switchblade is in control
19:25And the Rainmaker is in a lot of trouble
19:31White going back to the leg now
19:34Has it wrenched
19:35And now Grapevine
19:39It's White
19:43Standing over
19:49Taking his time
19:51Taking it in
19:53And it wrenches it back
19:55The Muda lock locked in
20:03He's got this Muda lock locked in
20:06Red shoes is right there
20:09If there is a verbal submission
20:12We will hear it
20:14Camera work great
20:16And Okada stretching out the left arm
20:19Oh
20:19Getting his money's worth here
20:21As White
20:23Pushing through the hips
20:24On that bridge
20:25Until the count of five
20:30Of course we saw Grape Muda
20:32Earlier this evening
20:34Incredible
20:34What a surprise that was
20:36In the honor rumble
20:37We also saw Colt Cabana
20:39Sure did
20:41Jushu Thunder Liger
20:42Of course won by Kenny King
20:45Now towards the future world titles
20:46Champion
20:47Saw Matt Davin crowned the ring of honor
20:48World Champion
20:49But it's Okada
20:49Who's looking to become
20:51IWGP Heavyweight Champion
20:52Once more
20:54Switchblade Jay White
20:55Has shovels for hands
20:58And delivers incredibly fierce
21:01Chops into the chest
21:02Okada going for that flapjack
21:03One more time
21:05This time connects
21:11And the crowd so desperate to cheer
21:13For Okada
21:15So desperate to get on his side
21:17And right on cue Colt
21:19Here they come
21:22But can the Rainmaker get back in the fight?
21:25He hasn't given them much to cheer about
21:28Excuse me
21:29Oh here we go
21:32Okada back elbow sends White down
21:35Ivershwip now reversed by Switchblade
21:37Ducks to the close line
21:40Okada sending White down
21:52With each and every moment that pass
21:54I got to think that Okada
21:57This match begins to favor him
21:59We've seen White put Okada away quickly
22:01But if Okada can stretch this match
22:03Or go for the pin
22:04Two
22:05A kick out at two
22:08The longer this goes
22:09It has to favor Okada Kevin
22:11Well we've seen him go
22:13As long as 67 minutes a year ago
22:17Dominion 46-45
22:20At the Dome a couple of years ago
22:24But he will go to the top
22:25And look to rain down
22:27The elbow but Jay White back up
22:30Okada rolling through
22:32A kick staggers Okada
22:34Okada back to the center
22:35And another one from White
22:36Staggers Okada again
22:38Does it stagger him?
22:39No
22:40He's shrugging it off
22:42And he's starting to get pissed
22:44Delivers with a big forearm
22:46Rattling White
22:47Perching White up
22:48Up on the top
22:49Dropkick
22:54Dropkick from Okada
22:55And the champ is down
22:58Jay White rolling to the outside
23:00This time by
23:01And not by his own accord
23:10Red shoes right there
23:12His discretion to begin the count
23:14Of course in his IWCP heavyweight championship bouts
23:18Kevin
23:18Referee's discretion is key
23:20And red shoes as we've historically noted
23:23Has a very long whistle
23:26He will let the athletes fight their way back into the ring
23:33Second time Okada driving the boot
23:35Into the face
23:37Of the switchblade
23:39Out on the floor
23:40We saw this before
23:41But we also saw Gato get involved
23:43Does Okada
23:44Oh!
23:47Take a seat Gato
23:51And how long was he hoping to do that at the Garden?
23:54Wait a minute
23:54Wait a minute now
23:55Wait a minute
23:56Okada has something in mind
24:02Two for the price of one
24:04Okada crushing Gato
24:06In the switchblade
24:11You know he's been waiting to do that to Gato for a long time now
24:24Gato out
24:25White barely stirring
24:32Sending white over the barricade now
24:36Over the friendly confines
24:38Of Madison Square Garden
24:41I'll let you have that one Ian
24:44White desperate
24:45To find a way back to his feet
24:49And Gato is his ace in the hole
24:52But the Rainmaker is ready
24:54And now
24:57Before Red Shoes could
24:59Oh!
25:01Look what's happened
25:02We've already gone past the
25:0514 minutes
25:06That it took white to defeat Okada
25:08At Wrestle Kingdom
25:10Will this be a mental lift
25:12For Okada who hoists
25:14White up on his shoulders
25:15Driving those clubbing forearms into the small of the back
25:19It's Okada continuing to hoist white up
25:27Wait a minute, wait a minute
25:28Watch that snap
25:29Zaito suplex
25:30One of the most devastating weapons in the arsenal of the switchblade
25:35Right now it's like can the kid do well on his own
25:39Gato basically out of it for the moment
25:43Let's see what Jake and white can do on his own
25:47Is it just the Gato show?
25:51You find out here white
25:54Charging into the corner
25:56Running uppercut
25:58Jay white
26:00Vicious
26:01Cover
26:02Two
26:08Twistic brain buster
26:10Nearly the difference
26:12Nearly
26:12Jay White's ticket to leaving New York City
26:15IWGP Heavyweight Champion
26:17And we could be a Blade Runner away
26:19From that being reality
26:21Gonna pull him up
26:22Drive him down with a uranage
26:24But Okada hammers him with the elbow
26:27Sidestep great defense by white
26:29Up and oh caught by Okada
26:32Trapped the head
26:34Neck break
26:38Shifts him over
26:42Very effective both man down
26:50Okada having absorbed a lot of punishment
26:52Unable to follow up
26:54After the neck breaker on the IWGP Heavyweight Champion
26:59And white trying to struggle to find an opening
27:04Now as the match surpasses in length their last encounter
27:08Oh
27:09Tombstone
27:11White over the shoulders
27:12Another Saito suplex no
27:16Oh look at this
27:17Beautiful getting out of the way
27:19He was ready
27:20He was ready
27:21You're right nothing wrong with that
27:25Nothing wrong with that at all by Jay White
27:28Even though it's to the crowds displeasure
27:34We've seen white use that avoidance strategy time and time again opponent after opponent
27:43He'll try a tombstone again second time and again Jay White gets away
27:48Clutching those ropes desperately
27:50I mean you can get away but you're still in the ring and you're in the corner and you're one
27:54attack away from Okada being on top
27:58Oh
27:58Shotgun drop kick
28:03Driving through and down white in the corner Okada rolling him out toward the center of the ring
28:10Climbing to the top here Kevin
28:12Another opportunity to rain down an elbow again white on his feet
28:16Oh
28:17Floats in midair
28:19Just like he did to Sonata in the finals of the New Japan Cup
28:23This time oh so close
28:31Not enough at that juncture at this juncture of the match
28:36We're going to take a look at the replay here the shotgun drop kick
28:38And then watch as he seems to float in midair hover above the ring
28:44It's magical
28:45A pair of shotgun drop kicks
28:48One from the ground and one from the sky
28:50Return to live action as Okada climbing to the top
28:53He won't be denied this elbow drop to the center of the chest
28:57Oh!
28:58So pretty
29:00And now Okada feeling it
29:04The garden is feeling it
29:1320,000 on their feet
29:16Kazuchika Okada
29:18Championship within his fingertips
29:20Here we go
29:21Rainmaker
29:23Just collapses
29:24Yeah but you collapse
29:26But it's not like he's not holding your hand
29:32And he avoided the move that's carried Okada throughout the years
29:36As the IWGP Heavyweight Champion
29:38But Okada's still up
29:39Still on the offense
29:41But if you get hit with a Rainmaker
29:42It's over
29:43So yeah you might be staving off the inevitable
29:48But for the moment in time
29:49It's sound strategy
29:52Boyd climbing back to his feet as Okada
29:54Driving him back down
29:57Boyd has this matchup changed
29:5920 minutes
30:0020 minutes pass
30:0120 minute call
30:05One third of our time limit has elapsed
30:09Jay White barely able to stand at this point
30:11Oh wait
30:13No he had him set
30:15Flatliner
30:16Look at the eyes of Jay White
30:18Going immediately for the waist
30:20The hands clasped around the
30:23German suplex
30:27Just an explosive athlete
30:32An athlete is the right word
30:36A product of the New Japan Dojo
30:39The New Zealand native
30:43Whose journey began in the meeting with Prince Devon
30:46Finn Balor wait a minute
30:48Blade Runner no
30:50Okada smartly driving White into the corner
30:53It's White now kicked in the midsection
30:54Oh
30:57Wheels him into the buckle
31:02You're Nagy
31:03Got him
31:04High angle
31:05Stuffs him
31:06Two
31:08And Okada kicks out
31:13From there White after the meeting in England
31:15With Devitt
31:16Was put in contact with Bad Luck Fale
31:21The New Japan Dojo
31:23The New Japan Dojo
31:25And the journey began
31:27Excursion here in the United States
31:29Oh leg hook
31:31This was his finisher
31:32In R.O.H.
31:33The Kiwi Crusher
31:34Certainly was
31:35Ducks the clothesline
31:38Back elbow Okada trying to separate
31:42Oh no
31:43Snap Saeedo all the way to the floor
31:48Does Jay White take a count out victory?
31:51Will he accept that here in the Garden?
31:53Will we see a count out? No
32:00Wow
32:01Not even a one count
32:02Not interested
32:03I think he wants a victory Kevin
32:06He wants to prove that he's the man
32:08And that the cutthroat error is for real
32:10Kiwi Crusher
32:12Canucks hooks the leg
32:13Leg hook two
32:15And
32:15Oh
32:16Is that three?
32:17No it was two
32:21But it was close
32:26The glaze in the eyes of Okada
32:29Can he shake the cobwebs?
32:31Switchblade in control
32:34Pull him up sleeper suplex Okada
32:37Back elbow denial
32:41Feeling for the hair
32:43Realizing that Okada was right behind him
32:47Quick strikes that combination from White
32:52Uh oh got caught
32:54Tombstone!
33:03But was there enough wherewithal?
33:06How deep does the reservoir run?
33:10The reserve
33:10How deep does it go for Okada?
33:13Hit the tombstone but couldn't capitalize
33:17Nearly miraculous he was able to do that Ian
33:21And unable to follow up
33:23But perhaps it's enough to turn
33:25Start to turn the momentum of this match
33:29To Colt's point earlier it has been largely a switchblade match
33:34He's had the pace perfect
33:35He's controlled most of the offense
33:41He's controlled most of the offense
33:43You see Gato up on the outside
33:47Oh!
33:56Driving the boot into the head of White
34:01White
34:01White retaliates with a chop

39:43White comes forward, connects again.
39:46The side of the jaw of Okada.
39:50White back to his feet, reestablishing a vertical base,
39:53but that's short-lived as Okada delivers.
39:57Almost an attempt, look at that,
39:58look at these attempts.
40:0030 minutes, 30 minutes pass.
40:0330 minutes.
40:04In Jay White's mind, he was smashing Okada.
40:07That is the difference.
40:09There is so much behind.
40:11Those shots from Okada,
40:13and nothing from Jay White.
40:16Oh, wait a minute, Okada.
