07:37Bonoro Suzuki
07:53Willingly, gladly
07:55Will go after Liger
08:01The crowd appreciating
08:03Both men now
08:04Just kind of testing and teasing
08:12Drop toe hold here
08:15Liger trying
08:18Suzuki with the block
08:19You see
08:20Double wrist lock
08:24If he can bend that
08:26And we might have a quick submission
08:31Just like it was 17 years ago
08:35This is how people end up with broken arms
08:40Liger needs to get to the rope if he can
08:42Oh, but Suzuki
08:45Marty Asami, the referee
08:47With a close watch on Liger's feet
08:49And finally
08:50The boot on the bottom rope
08:52That forces the referee's call for a break
08:55And Suzuki
08:56No way down
09:07Suzuki's going to invite Liger
09:09To have his try
09:15Very Ali kick there
09:16To the inner firebikes
09:26Again, Suzuki just as good in the guard
09:29As he is in the stand-up
09:30He's a premier fighter
09:31He's one of the greatest of all time
09:39And we've talked about
09:41How Liger has been
09:43The premier junior heavyweight
09:44Most influential
09:45And now it's Suzuki
09:49Who finds himself trapped
09:52I was about to say
09:54This is not Liger's world
09:55But
10:04And Suzuki's forced to roll to the ropes
10:06To get the break
10:08Chris, he said
10:09Give me a couple of years
10:10And we'll try it again
10:11He's had 17 years to think
10:13And prepare
10:15He has a great discount
10:17Liger
10:18On the mat
10:19Or as a submission artist
10:20He was taken under the wing
10:23Of Antonio Inoki
10:25He did train in Sanbo
10:27Oh, now we head outside the ring
10:31And this could favor Suzuki
10:32But Liger seems to be in control
10:35At the moment
10:41And now Liger warning the photographers
10:45Minoru Suzuki is coming your way
10:50And about 100 miles an hour
10:52As Suzuki crashes torso first
10:54Into the barricade
10:56Oh, Liger's got a chair
10:58Yeah
10:58The chairs of course have been
11:03No way the referee is saying
11:05You can't do that
11:06Oh, but it gives Suzuki
11:08An opportunity now
11:11Referee crash down
11:15This isn't no disqualification
11:24Suzuki's gonna introduce Liger
11:26Liger into the barricade
11:33We knew it was gonna end up
11:34Outside at some stage
11:35But early on here
11:41Oh, man
11:48Oh, just smashing it repeatedly
11:54While not officially no disqualification
11:57Chris, Gino
11:58I'll tell you what
11:59I think they're gonna let these guys settle it
12:02Because if they don't settle it
12:04If we don't get a satisfactory result
12:06With a clear winner and a clear loser
12:09It's just gonna continue
12:14I think you're right, Kevin
12:16Both men want a definitive answer tonight
12:25Shut up
12:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
12:29Come on now, whoa, please
12:30No, no, no
12:39Jeez
12:40Well
12:41You would say that probably
12:43Under normal circumstances
12:44That would be enough provocation
12:46To call for a bell
12:47Such is not the case
12:49Suzuki's tearing at the mask
12:52He's trying to rip it off
12:54He wants to reveal the man behind the mask
13:04Stand up, stand up
13:09Come on
13:10Oh, now Liger
13:11Oh, now Liger
13:13Look at that Suzuki's taking the mask off his head
13:21Oh, some big shots by Suzuki
13:27When Liger announced that he was retiring
13:30On the 30th anniversary
13:32We began to see this fester again
13:34Between Suzuki and Liger
13:36I wondered if maybe with Liger announcing his retirement
13:39Maybe Suzuki was kind of staring at his own end
13:42As well
13:43Like, how dare you retire
13:46Before I get my last licks on you
13:48But it's gone way beyond any expectations
13:56Suzuki's set up breaking the arm of Liger
13:58Yeah, he can't win the match this way
14:00But he can certainly end it
14:06Both men just looking to inflict pain
14:14Suzuki challenged for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship
14:18At the first King of Pro Wrestling event in 2012
14:21It was a victory by Hiroshi Tanahashi
14:23One of the greatest matches in New Japan history
14:26And another chapter in the 31-year fighting career
14:32Of Minoru Suzuki is being written here
14:34The 2019 version of King of Pro Wrestling
14:38Oh, man
14:39Jeez
14:40Yoshiaki Fujiwara taught in that headbutt
14:46Now calling it in to stand up
14:50Reminded me right back here in this building
14:53It was Fujiwara making the blood rain down Tatsumi Fujinami's face with that headbutt
14:58Suzuki not going for a pin or submission
15:01He's just looking to hurt Liger right now
15:04With a big right hand
15:09He's telling the referee to make Liger stand up
15:14And referee Marty Isami
15:17Don't count him down
15:18Make him stand up
15:28Come on, come on
15:33Get stronger, come on
15:39And Liger does
15:40Connecting
15:43Suzuki shrugs him off
15:44A knee to the midsection
15:46Liger off the ropes
15:49Suzuki with the boot
15:50And Liger driven back
15:52Into the blue corner
15:53Liger's taking some heavy hits already so early on
15:58And every time he's taking control
16:00And Liger is grabbing the horns on that mask
16:05Grabbing everything that Liger represents
16:08Oh, he went for that big, big caper
16:10Liger able to catch it
16:13Hammers down into the knee
16:16Suzuki with a little hobble
16:20Shrugs it off though
16:26Jeez
16:31Shote got most of it
16:35But not enough to keep Suzuki down
16:38Almost in disbelief
16:41Almost hooked him around the throat as well
16:45Top of kick puts Suzuki on the mat
16:52Here we go
16:53Brain buster
16:54Brain buster
16:55No, Suzuki out of the back
16:57And he's going to choke him out
16:59This eight could already be outkilling
17:01Wow
17:02Why?
17:03Just that fast
17:07Liger went limp
17:09No, he did it
17:13Oh, he didn't
17:15He baited Suzuki in
17:18A brilliant move by Liger
17:20Now Suzuki's in deep trouble
17:23Liger's going to lock in deep
17:26And Suzuki's legs are facing the wrong way towards the ropes
17:33It's going to take a lot of effort from Suzuki to get to that bottom rope
17:3617 years ago
17:38Minoru Suzuki submitted Liger in pancrease
17:43And it could be Liger returning the favor here tonight
17:49He's wrenched that right arm back all the way
17:51He's going to separate Suzuki's shoulder
17:57He's going to separate Suzuki's shoulder
18:02And a great presence of mind by Suzuki to roll forward
18:06Relieving that pressure and getting to the ropes
18:14Liger focusing on the right arm
18:17Liger focusing on the right arm
18:18Liger focusing on the right arm
18:19Suzuki trying to keep him away
18:21Liger won't be denied though
18:25Liger extending the elbow
18:36Suzuki est en train de défendre et de garder le right arm de Liga
18:48Et maintenant c'est Suzuki qui est en train de torturer
18:57Liga a le petit peu de l'occupe de Liga
19:05Liga a l'occupe de l'occupe de Liga
19:09Et juste comme ça, Suzuki, est l'occupe de Liga
19:14Il a encore une petite saison
19:16Liga a l'occupe de Liga
19:21Liger a found himself in even a more stern predicament
19:29Suzuki is cutting off the blood flow to Liger's brain
19:33and any minute now he can pass out
19:40but instead Liger powering back up to his feet
19:45trying to get to the ropes
19:47gotch style pile driver on the way
19:53and if he hits it, it'll be over
19:56it'll be over for Liger and Ryokoku
20:01Liger fighting it though
20:05Liger's doing everything he can but Suzuki gets him up
20:12desperation by Liger
20:16there's press
20:18two
20:24he'll try brain buster again
20:27and got him
20:32Monoro Suzuki is down two
20:34and he kicks out
20:35thought that was it
20:40I think Liger thought as well
20:42he'd get a little air pump
20:44after the brain buster
20:45he knew it was done
20:47nobody kicks out of that
21:05he took his head off
21:09he took his head off
21:24and now he's just lining Liger up with the shots
21:28Liger can't get his hands up to protect himself
21:55Liger refusing to go down
22:03Suzuki wants it
22:06reality setting in for Liger
22:09too much punishment
22:10too much damage taken
22:14referee Marty Asami is encouraging Liger
22:18to get back in the fight
22:19to settle it in the ring
22:22in the face

22:36Liger's trying
22:37he's hitting Suzuki with everything he can
22:45that might be
22:47Marty Asami has to step in here
22:49Liger might be knocked out
22:52if Liger cannot compete
22:54or answer to Marty Asami
22:56this could be it
22:56he wanted to take Liger's
22:59absolute best shot
23:00before he put him away
23:03well that time could be now
23:06because Liger did everything he could
23:08to break Monoro Suzuki
23:11and he's still trying
23:13he is trying
23:15Suzuki
23:18Liger

23:58it's over
24:03here is the winner
24:06Minoru Suzuki
24:19well I know it is not the result that the Korken or the Ryugoku faithful that I'm sure all the
24:25fans watching all over the world on New Japan World wanted
24:29but it was a match that had
24:31oh come on now
24:32I was about to say
24:34if you're gonna settle it
24:35settle it the right way
24:37but now Suzuki looking to

24:58no no no no
25:10oh
25:11oh
25:11oh my god
25:17C'est l'ultima symbole de respect.
25:21Suzuki n'a pas envie de laïga, il voulait Yamada.
25:25Il a eu. Il a eu. Il a eu. Il a eu le meilleur shot.
25:30Mais celui-ci, en tant que le masque ou pas, a eu de l'autre, a eu de l'autre.
25:35C'est un moment que ce round nous souviendra pour un très long temps.
25:45Le ultime respect de Suzuki.
25:49Et Suzuki marcha comme si le moment de l'emotion que il est un moment de l'emotion.
25:56Et il a eu. Il a eu. Mais c'est un moment que nous n'avons jamais oublié.
26:02Il a eu. Il a eu.
26:04One now for that.
26:12He has never wavered, he's never once said,
26:15well, I could be convinced, you know,
26:17because wrestling retirements are sometimes pretty dodgy.
26:21But nope, this will be it.
26:23At Wrestle Kingdom, that will be the last time
26:25that Jushin Dunderlager will compete.
26:28He's done a world tour, fans all over the world
26:31I've had a chance to see him one last time.
26:37And he sends Young Lion Suji away.
26:40Liger's going to lead this ring under his own power.
27:02Suzuki!
27:05Thank you!
27:07Thank you Suzuki!
27:16Respect shown by both men after a hard-fought battle.
27:31Liger! Liger! Liger! Liger! Liger! Liger! Liger!
27:44Never has one word had so much meaning to it.
27:48It seems like thank you isn't an adequate translation enough.
27:57Wow!
28:01Thank you!
