07:44l'issi backs the champion up, moves forward and through, shoulder tackle
07:59and again we alluded to it but some would say that somewhere Honma is watching this match
08:07after his victory early on and maybe is chomping at the bit to face the winner
08:25there's some of those neck bridges we talked about there with the fisherman suplex
08:34near fall for the champ
08:44and
08:50and
08:53and
09:03Oh !
09:06Un peu plus de la tête, Matt.
09:10One thing I'm noticing is that Makabe
09:12has been down quite a bit
09:15in this match.
09:18Up along the clavicle, collarbone,
09:20easiest bone in the body to break.
09:22You have to wonder if maybe Makabe is dealing with something
09:25along those lines right now.
09:26Ishii pulling Makabe up.
09:29Sainto suplex flat on the back.
09:43Makabe slowed but enough momentum to turn Ishii around.
09:49Now that was definitely in the throat.
09:53An admonishment from Red Shoes.
10:08Now in the corner.
10:10Can Ishii hit a superplex on the champion?
10:18Wow !
10:20Oh !
10:20Oh, he can !
10:24Leg, hook, two, and no !
10:27Oh, just barely kicking out is Makabe.
10:35Now the challenger, Ishii, positioning himself.
10:41Setting up for another lariat here.
10:45Makabe goes for one block.
10:47Ishii on the move.
10:49It's caught in the side of the year there.
10:52Oh, nicely done.
10:54Hangs on.
10:55Another bridge.
10:56Another near fall.
10:58Modified Northern Lights suplex there.
11:01And now finally Makabe seems to be getting his wits about him.
11:10Larian, no.
11:17Larian, no.
11:23Both men showing the signs of battle.
11:28Oh, Ishii refusing to go down.
11:31We talk about fighting spirit.
11:33This embodies it right here.
11:38Oh, he won't come down.
11:46Down he goes.
11:48And it seems that the backdrop driver that Ishii hit earlier has no effect on Makabe now that the adrenaline
11:57is starting to build here.
12:05Red Shoes gets just enough indication that Ishii is still conscious, therefore able to continue.
12:11You almost called him Eazy-E, didn't you?
12:13Eazy-E.
12:14Whoa!
12:16Powerbomb.
12:17Two and...
12:18Nope.
12:18Is that three?
12:20Oh, just a two.
12:37And, you know, I mean, sometimes ego and pride collide with judgment here.
12:42I understand how tough Ishii is, but there is a career to think about.
12:46There is longevity to think about.
12:52And still, Ishii pulls himself up.
12:59For a German suplex hold, Ishii blocks.
13:02Elbows, trying to get away now.
13:05Oh!
13:07Oh!
13:11Here is a cover and a count.
13:13Oh!
13:19You think the champion is starting to wonder.
13:21Is he starting to have doubts as to whether or not he's going to be able to win?
13:25These two have fought each other so many times.
13:28I have to believe that Makabe knows what he's getting into.
13:36And what's King Kong setting up for here?
13:41Pushes his opponent far into the turnbuckle to create enough space for himself.
13:45Could this be here a Spider-German?
13:48Ishii is holding on to the turnbuckle with both hands.
13:52He knows if Makabe hits this, it may very well be the end.
13:56How much grip strength does Ishii have?
13:58You see the placement of the hands now.
14:03Also, Ishii's foot pressed against the turnbuckle there, the ring post.
14:09Makabe fading.
14:11Ishii now looks like he's going to turn defense into offense.
14:15Ishii now.
14:17He positions his feet and now begins to move offensively from the top turnbuckle.
14:23Makabe's legs are still over the top rope into that Spider.
14:32Picture's worth a thousand words.
14:44Tension building here.
14:50Tension building here.
14:54Get her!
14:58Get her!
15:00Get her!
15:09Oh, you heard it!
15:12Oh, affectionately known as a Scottish kiss.
15:16It's not the way they kiss in Scotland, by the way.
15:19The thudding of skull.
15:23Oh!
15:24A King Kong knee drop from Ishii.
15:27That's Makabe's move.
15:28Yeah!
15:30Yeah!
15:31Yeah!
15:33Yeah!
15:34Yeah!
15:35Yeah!
15:36Well, Ishii finally defeat Makabe, something he has never done for the Never Championship.
15:43Yeah!
15:45Yeah!
15:45Yeah!
15:46Yeah!
15:46Yeah!
15:46Ishii on the move!
15:48Makabe tried to duck.
15:50Both men hesitated for a split second, but the fight is back on.
15:53Waist lock capture here.
15:56Ishii's low center of gravity protects him once again.
16:00Ooh!
16:00And Zagari.
16:04Oh!
16:06Oh!
16:07Oh!
16:24Redirection on the Lariat, and both men are down now.
16:35The Never Open Lake Championship hangs in the balance.
16:40And this is the style that New Japan Pro Wrestling was born upon, and the fans appreciate the fighting spirit
16:49of these two warriors.
17:07Everyone knows someone in their life they'd love to do this to.
17:09For some people, that person's me.
17:12But either way, the fight is a fight.
17:18Oh, wait a minute.
17:19Ishii's fading!
17:21It's like Hagler and Hearns.
17:23Ooh, that got him!
17:28But notice Ishii goes down on his chest, not his back.
17:35Yeah!
17:36Yeah!
17:48Jarvis!
17:50Bridge!
17:51Two!
17:52No!
17:57Two!
17:59Two!
18:00!
18:13No!
18:14Again, looking for another suplex opportunity in the corner. Ishii blocking again.
18:27C'est là où pour Ishii's body
18:31C'est là où
18:33C'est là où
18:42C'est là-bas, c'est là-bas
18:43C'est là-bas, c'est-à-bas
18:44C'est-à-bas, c'est-à-bas
18:53What Makabe was going for earlier on
18:56see if he can hit it now here
18:58legs are locked
19:06Ishii's hands, his arms are limp
19:08Oh, Spider-German
19:11and now perhaps the King Kong knee drop
19:20Ishii out of the way! Ishii out of the way!
19:23Oh!
19:38This crowd seems firmly behind Ishii.
19:47They were solidly in the champ's corner when this battle begun.
19:55Whoa!
19:58He had no!
20:02How fitting would it be for a Lariat to end this match, to end this rivalry?
20:11Oh! Blocked it with the knee!
20:15Come on!
20:17Drag it!
20:21Ishii driver, perhaps!
20:24Nope!
20:26Oh!
20:30No!
20:32Oh!
20:34Man, I hope you're enjoying this as much as we are!
20:44Ishii driver, he has done it!
20:53In 17 minutes and 14 seconds, the winner is the winner of Ishii.
21:03For the first time in his career, Ishii has defeated Makure for the Denver Openweight Championship.
21:17What an amazing match!
21:20What an amazing display of fight in the human spirit!
21:24This, ladies and gentlemen, if you can only see one match, to understand what New Japan Pro Wrestling has been
21:30about for the better part of over 40 years, it's this match right here!
21:47Congratulations to the new champion!
21:54How is that man standing right now?
22:00How is that man standing right now?
22:06champion, Halo Hero, Ishii!
22:12Well, Ishii, you can fit a lot of up-
22:14Oh, oh, oh, oh!
22:15Yes!
22:16Yes!
23:17And it's a yes
