00:00Special Tag Match, 30 minutes, one match.
00:07Nagata Yuji vs. Akiyama Jun vs. Shiozaki Go vs. Kotobuke Atsushi.
00:18Today's main event, Special Tag Match, 30 minutes, one match.
00:30Nagata Yuji vs. Akiyama Jun vs. Shiozaki Go vs. Kotobuke Atsushi.
00:40It is an interpromotional dream matchup.
00:44One that finds itself to be a continuation of where these four men left off back in February of this year.
00:54Atsushi Kotobuke and Go Shiozaki took on Jun Akiyama and Yuji Nagata back at NOAH LIMIT BREAK 1 in Corkin Hall.
01:03A 30 minute time limit on that matchup meant a 30 minute time limit draw.
01:09There is still unfinished business between these two teams, Chris.
01:13177cm, 83kg, Atsushi Kotobuke!
01:24183cm, 110kg, Go Shiozaki!
01:31Go Shiozaki, Atsushi Kotobuke representing Team NOAH.
01:35As the name suggests, they are fighting to prove superiority of the green brand here tonight.
01:44Green vs. Blue
01:52It's not all green vs. blue. This isn't NOAH vs. New Japan.
01:58Instead, Yuji Nagata's partner tonight representing DDT Pro Wrestling in Jun Akiyama.
02:06There's a lot, a lot of history for these two as a team.
02:12Nagata and Jun Akiyama, former All Asia Tag Team Champions.
02:17An alliance that go back to their shared amateur roots.
02:25The first time they met was when Jun Akiyama was wrestling for NOAH in October 2001 in the Tokyo Dome.
02:33Akiyama and Nagata wrestled a classic with Keiji Muto and Hiroshi Hatae.
02:39And then battled January 4, 2002 at the GHC Heavyweight Championship.
02:44So there is 23 years of history between Akiyama and Nagata that continues tonight.
02:49DDT Pro Wrestling, 188cm, 110kg, Jun Akiyama!
03:00Went back to the tanks, watched that Wrestling World 2002 match for the GHC Heavyweight title just a few days ago.
03:07Incredible way to spend 20 minutes of your time.
03:37Nagata! Nagata! Nagata! Nagata!
03:56It was 40 years ago.
03:59And his teammate Yuji Nagata first stepped onto the amateur wrestling match at Togane High School.
04:09And started a journey from amateur to the pros.
04:14To the G1, to the Triple Crown, the GHC, the IWGP, a grand slam in wrestling.
04:21From Togane City, 184cm, 108kg, Yuji Nagata!
04:293,375 matches later and here we are in our main event in Togane.
04:37No fear or favor with our referee here, Walker. Come on, what's that all about?
04:44Listen, your blue justice shirt's in the mail.
04:47Do I get slippies?
04:49Not too certain about that one. But hey, here's what I am certain of.
04:52Yuji Nagata, you listed a full resume there.
04:56And I'm pretty sure that's what you're looking for.
05:00Not too certain about that one. But hey, here's what I am certain of.
05:03Yuji Nagata, you listed a full resume there. IWGP, Triple Crown, GHC Heavyweight Champions.
05:10Truly doing everything there is to do of note in the world of Japanese professional wrestling.
05:16Professional wrestling at large.
05:17Even his time over in WCW brought eyes over to the New Japan Pro Wrestling product at that time.
05:23Yeah, exactly right. We called that match with Scott Norman earlier.
05:27And this tag match here today, 11,024 matches on record.
05:359 GHC Heavyweight Championships, 2 Triple Crown Championships and 2 IWGP Championships.
05:42There's a lot in this ring here.
05:47Koshiyazaki signing up with Nagata now.
05:50You're right about that.
05:52A lot of history between Yuji Nagata and Koshiyazaki just to say.
05:57The only man in this matchup to have never reigned as a heavyweight champion in any organization being Atsushi Kotoge.
06:05However, one of the most prolific GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions pro wrestling NOAH has ever seen.
06:1011 times over.
06:12Yeah, and I think both of these men have a point to prove to the entire wrestling world.
06:19Of course, Koshiyazaki had to withdraw from NOAH's N1 tournament.
06:23Atsushi Kotoge was his replacement.
06:25And Kotoge got injured two matches into that tournament and had to withdraw himself.
06:29So now both of these guys are back in action.
06:32They have a point to prove, no doubt.
06:39We haven't seen Jun Akiyama in New Japan Pro Wrestling since Yuji Nagata's 20-year anniversary event back in 2012.
06:48He's calling his buddies.
06:51We haven't seen Koshiyazaki in a New Japan event for quite some time either.
07:00If you are seeing Koshiyazaki for the first time, he likes to use his Go Ude Lariat.
07:05The Go Flasher variant of the Final Cut.
07:08The Limit Break as well.
07:10All dangerous offensive maneuvers from Koshiyazaki.
07:13Atsushi Kotoge is going to tag him.
07:17And that tag made.
07:21Kotoge loves to utilize that Kill Switch maneuver.
07:25Double Underhook Face Buster.
07:27When I found out what was on deck here tonight in our main event, I reached out to our pal Stu Fulton.
07:35And said, well, you know, I know what's going on in the mind of Atsushi Kotoge recently.
07:39And Stu said Kotoge having a little bit of a harder edge as of late.
07:44Seems to be not particularly content with his spot.
07:47But I think definitely not being in the rest of that N1, not finishing that tournament.
07:52Took its toll mentally perhaps on Kotoge.
07:57Needs to focus on who's legal in the ring here in my opinion.
08:00Feels as though Kotoge more so and probably some NOAH hoping to focus on potential run as a heavyweight.
08:05He's done so much in the junior heavyweight division.
08:0711 time junior heavyweight tag team champion and NOAH three time GHC junior heavyweight champion.
08:14Saw that N1 victory run as a potential shot at launching himself into that level full time.
08:19And well, an injury to NXT's Josh Briggs and ended up leading him to where he is today.
08:24I mean a little bit disgruntled potentially is Kotoge.
08:30He's got some fans here at least.
08:33Over under on the blue thunder driver being busted out here tonight for one Jun Akiyama.
08:39You could call it a pink thunder driver on Kotoge there.
08:42That's absolutely so.
08:46And there you see the ire of Kotoge.
08:50Certainly, I mean.
08:53Not exactly happy to be here is Atsushi Kotoge.
08:57Not exactly happy to be here is Atsushi Kotoge.
09:03Sometimes, you know, that can be to your benefit or to your disadvantage as Akiyama tosses Kotoge inside.
09:10And we're already bringing this one to the outside as Kotoge whips Jun Akiyama right into those barricades.
09:17Disgruntled, frustrated, aggressive.
09:19Hey, those are things that are going to level you up in this world that we call professional wrestling.
09:24True, or it can just come back to bite you in the ass.
09:27I mean, come out here with a little bit of a boo-boo face on and that makes you a mark for the rest of your competitors.
09:35Kotoge far from a mark, that's for certain.
09:38Jun Akiyama, huge scoop slam.
09:42That padding is not to protect our athletes, folks, and it does very little to do so.
09:49Dr. Hash, he's getting a good look there at ringside if we do need him.
09:55As soon as he gets his shot of adrenaline, he'll be right on top of everything.
10:09Oh, man. Oh, brother. Oh, man. See what I told you?
10:13Come in here with a face like you've just smelled some spoiled milk and, well, you're going to get dropped on your dome by Jun Akiyama.
10:20Yeah, piledriver right out of the gates from Jun Akiyama.
10:25He really might need Dr. Hash Iwara.
10:29Potentially attempting to re-aggravate that injury from N1 victory this year at the hands of Josh Briggs.
10:38You know, much in the way that we talk about Yuji Nagata, Jun Akiyama spent much of his career doing many of the same things.
10:45Triple crown champion, GHC heavyweight champion, never once reigning as IWGP heavyweight champion.
10:50Came close, did come close, was a finalist in G1 Climax at Hiroshi Tetsu and eventually won.
10:582004.
11:02Oh, my goodness. They've really chosen to pile in on Kotobe, huh?
11:06Yep, and nothing wrong with that.
11:09Make it known what your intentions are.
11:11Yuji Nagata has heavy, heavy intentions of walking away with a victory in his own event here tonight.
11:17Celebrating 40 years with a victory.
11:20You do not spend 40 years doing one thing consistently at a high level just to walk away with a loss at the end.
11:26You talk about the high level.
11:28Yuji Nagata has been competing at the highest, at his best.
11:32And a guy 56 years old and we always talk about, you know, he always likes to joke and say I'm the oldest 56 year old.
11:41But he is always in incredible shape.
11:44And, you know, I could tell you if Yuji Nagata was able to work his way into world title contention,
11:50he could have a banger of a main event tomorrow and come damn close to that championship, if not win it.
11:55I absolutely agree on that front.
11:58The power of Blue Justice brings us here tonight for Blue Justice 14.
12:03But Green Pride versus Blue Justice here.
12:06I am Noah Sisco Shiozaki.
12:08Well, Shiozaki off the ropes.
12:10Big back elbow rocks Nagata.
12:12Cover here and it's only one.
12:15Keep in mind this exact same contest went to a 30 minute time limit draw.
12:19We have a 30 minute time limit here tonight.
12:22Do you think there's potential we see a rerun from February?
12:24Yeah, you're right.
12:25There is a very, very good chance of that.
12:27In fact, it was a 30 minute time limit draw that ended our main event at Blue Justice last year.
12:33With, you know, that Vesta 7 series.
12:36Nagata and Minoru Suzuki were trying to strangle one another right until the time limit here.
12:45I think we have to keep the time, the time calls in the backs of our minds.
12:50As into the cover here for Shiozaki and it's two.
12:54I want to invite you folks, by the way, to go ahead and check out the archives of NJPW World.
12:59Myself and Chris Charlton doing a litany of post-production calls.
13:03Flash to the past, so to speak.
13:05English coverage provided for a bunch of classic Eiji Nagata and Hiroshi Tanahashi matches.
13:09Yeah, you'll see those Tanahashi matches when we go live next week in time for Tanahashi's anniversary.
13:16Oh my goodness.
13:25Shiozaki and Nagata going strike for strike here.
13:28And Nagata's hometown of Togane.
13:33Don't forget, Shiozaki, current 0-1 world champion.
13:36Wow, yeah, you're right about that.
13:37Could we see any 0-1 world title implications involved in this match tonight?
13:42Could be. I mean, you know, Eiji Nagata just said you could give him a world championship match in any promotion any day of the week.
13:48I think Nagata's got that in the back of his mind.
13:50For sure, he wants to beat Shiozaki tonight.
13:52Nothing wrong with the freelance style.
13:54Oh, good God. Talk about declarative statement.
14:01And Sushi Kotoge, well, almost looking lifeless in the eyes.
14:06And Eiji Nagata looking lifeless on the ground after that headbutt.
14:09If Kotoge had any brain cells left after that pile driver from Jin Akiyama.
14:15Maybe one or two fewer.
14:19Eiji Nagata hasn't moved, Walker.
14:21Kotoge's trying to move this one on forward.
14:23Tag made.
14:24Legal man here, bringing it right in front of us at the English booth.
14:28I mean, Kotoge, no doubt about it.
14:30I mean, he's fighting with a point to prove.
14:38The point could be proven here.
14:39Nagata set right in those barricades.
14:42Is it proving the point to who?
14:43Pro-wrestling no one knew Japan or even Koshiozaki himself?
14:48No.
14:50All of the above.
14:54No doubt about it.
14:55And he's in this spot.
14:56Kotoge thought he has to leave here with the most attention on him.
15:01I mean, you're teaming with and against three legends.
15:07You're the youngest man in this match.
15:09You've got to make it a name for yourself here.
15:19Man, if you're the one to knock out Eiji Nagata in Nagata's promoted event.
15:31Or pin him here.
15:32Hold on, hold on, hold on.
15:36You're going to be on the cover of Weekly Pro Wrestling.
15:39You're going to be on Tokyo Sports.
15:40Everything, all of that.
15:44Certainly, that means that you can go back to the normal office.
15:48And really ask for anything you want.
15:55It's personal for Kotoge tonight.
15:57Overhead press on the belly to belly.
16:01Rocking the body of Atsushi Kotoge.
16:05Kotoge's goal, defeat a former GHC heavyweight champion and take that money.
16:10Back to pro-wrestling, no.
16:15Maybe to do the same.
16:16It's one Jun Akiyama.
16:20As Akiyama up the ropes, running.
16:23Knee strike connects into the cover here for Akiyama.
16:25And it's two.
16:29Former triple crown champion, three-time GHC heavyweight champion is Jun Akiyama.
16:37So much done in his career, starting in all Japan pro-wrestling.
16:43Expanding now to what Jun Akiyama has been accomplishing in DDT.
16:48KOD open weight champion, former DDT six-man tag team champions for KOD.
16:55And he of 54 years of age himself.
17:00Only man in this match more experienced than Yuji Nagata.
17:03Right.
17:04By a couple of hundred matches.
17:12Jun Akiyama.
17:13Jun Akiyama.
17:14Jun Akiyama.
17:15Jun Akiyama.

17:45Jun Akiyama.
17:46Jun Akiyama.
17:47Jun Akiyama.
17:48Jun Akiyama.
17:49Jun Akiyama.
17:50Jun Akiyama.
17:51Jun Akiyama.
17:52Jun Akiyama.
17:53Jun Akiyama.
17:54Jun Akiyama.
17:55Jun Akiyama.
17:56Jun Akiyama.
17:57Jun Akiyama.
17:58Jun Akiyama.
17:59Jun Akiyama.
18:00Jun Akiyama.
18:01Jun Akiyama.
18:02Jun Akiyama.
18:03Jun Akiyama.
18:04Jun Akiyama.
18:05Jun Akiyama.
18:06Go, Shiozaki.
18:11Oh, wanted to finish off those machine gun kesegiris, and he's going to get an opportunity
18:19too here tonight.
18:22And the chest of Yuji Nagata being rubbed raw red.
18:27A little Kensuke Kobayashi classic there and now cover here for Shiozaki and it's two.
18:45Hooked him, thinking limit break perhaps there goes Shiozaki taking down Jun Akiyama.
18:51Arm bar here from Jun Akiyama. Shiozaki trying to bring it to the bottom rope and he does so
18:56successfully Red Shoes acknowledges the break.
19:03Now I think Nagata is stepping it up a gear here
19:08licking his chops. Oh and the target is acquired.
19:27Oh there we go justice boot and here we go. Oh wants that exploder of justice.
19:35All right Koshiozaki felt it coming.
19:56We talk all the time about Yuji Nagata's game on the amateur match.
20:17Gotta be caught up. Exploder suplex from Koshiozaki. And again Katoge
20:26taking that cue and now it's going to be two and one on Yuji Nagata here.
20:33And Katoge back elbow falls in sends Nagata to the middle. Koshiozaki got him here we go
20:40up and set that down. Team no honor roll here Chris cover here two.
20:49Nithin Walker is Kaito Kiyomiya keeping a close eye on this matchup.
20:54Potentially so. Reigning GHG heavyweight champion winner of this year's n1 victory.
21:01As Koshiozaki what is what are we seeing here Chris? Probably something that doesn't look good
21:08for Yuji Nagata. Gold buster perhaps off the second. Maybe so maybe so.
21:15He wants the vertical. Oh my god.
21:21Oh my god. Avalanche brain buster. Nagata down. Cover here two.
21:36And now the people of Tokyo are getting behind that de facto mayor Yuji Nagata.
21:43Nagata has the key to the city and he is not giving it up here tonight. Not to team NOAH.
21:52That blue flame of justice flickering but not extinguished yet.
21:58Kiyozaki wanted that lariat shot and Nagata. Nagata locked two. Nagata locked two locked in
22:04right here. Jun Akiyama playing interference. Akiyama brings it down with the body scissors
22:11in the guillotine. Oh here we go. Oh look for the whites of the eyes. Look for the whites of the eyes.
22:25Here we go. We got it.
22:41Carrying that arm out of the socket for Kiyozaki.
22:48Shiromu for not. But the damage has been done right now.
22:52Kiyozaki grasping at that left arm. It is all Akiyama and Nagata tonight.
23:01Flashbacks to the 2001 Tokyo Dome. The all-Asian tag titles on the line.
23:06And a knee strike from Akiyama. A cover here for Nagata and Katoge in to break it up at two.
23:20Oh man that was a hard landing. Shook our desk here at ringside.
23:25How hard that landing was for Katoge. Might want that back drop hold here.
23:30That will be just as hard if not harder.
23:35In deep for Nagata. Nagata off the ropes. Shiosaki with the lariat.
23:46That right arm going in. A cover. No.
23:59Go Shiozaki. Plants Nagata. Rari wants him and he has his eyes set on a high high prize here.
24:15What are we going to see? Shiozaki from the top. And a moonsault missed out for Shiozaki.
24:23Akiyama right there. Exploder.
24:31Yuji Nagata in a knee of justice.
24:38Nagata.
24:43Vertical drop. The cover here for Nagata.
24:47What is it? What is it? What is three? No.
24:59I haven't heard a time call in some time.
25:171944 the time as Yuji Nagata puts away. Go Shiozaki.
25:31And it has to be a disappointing loss for team NOAH especially at Sushi Katoge. Not even involved
25:38in the ending situation here. Nevertheless Yuji Nagata and Jun Akiyama. A massive win as we celebrate
25:45a 40-year life in wrestling from the amateur match to the professional canvas. Yuji Nagata.
25:53A legend already made and a legend that continues to build and shine the longer this career goes on.
26:00There's still a long long way to go for Yuji Nagata.
26:04Nagata said in the past he wants to keep wrestling in his 70s and I could well believe.
26:25As explosive as hard hitting. As good as Nagata is at 56 like buying wine. Both of these guys
26:33Nagata and Akiyama both.
26:41I was ready enough for another run with those all Asia tag team titles. I wouldn't mind it.
26:46Hey and he just pinned the 0-1 world heavyweight champion. How about that?
26:510-1 matchmakers might have to look into that one.
26:58He's been 0-1 world heavyweight champion before as Yuji Nagata.
27:03Masato Tanaka over that title.
27:09Oh Shinpei Nagami's here over to our right. Tearing it. Tearing his eye.
27:15He'll sleep well in his blue justice bed clothes. And his slippers. Wrestling fans you're going to
27:24want to stick around to hear post-match comments from Yuji Nagata and Jun Akiyama here tonight.
28:03Well, I've been losing for the past few years. I'm glad I won for you guys. Thank you very much.
28:17I always say it but it's for all of you guys that I won here tonight. Thank you very much.
28:21Thank you very much.
28:35Thanks to all of you to have these great events here in Togane every year.
28:41And next year and the year up to that, we want you filling up this place.
28:50And Yuji Nagata has a long, long way to go. I'll be here next year and the year after that.
29:14I think we'll have another blue justice right here in Togane Arena next year.
29:19We'll have another blue justice bed in Sakura City in January.
29:31We'll see what comes out of that one.
29:49Yuji Akiyama is one of my best friends in all of these years of my wrestling journey.
29:59Thank you so much for teaming with me tonight.
30:03I am so happy to meet people like Jun Akiyama in my wrestling life and my journeys through my careers.
30:19I promise to do my best to fight in front of more people than I have today.
30:31Let's meet at the next blue justice event!
30:34One, two, three!
30:49It has been an absolute blast here tonight.
30:53Yuji Nagata celebrating 40 years of a life in wrestling.
30:59And here is to 40 more.
31:07You'll be here calling blue justice 56.
31:10My friend, I'll be here calling Wrestle Kingdom 50, alright?
31:13Yeah!
31:15He's been at pro wrestling for 100 years, Andy Mercy.
31:19I'll be sticking around.
31:21That's why we got you young.
31:27Yuji Nagata, Street Ten coaching.
31:31It has been an absolute pleasure for you all to join us here at ringside tonight.
31:37Live on air, anywhere that you are around the world, Yuji Nagata.
31:44Has most likely wrestled, has most likely won championship gold from the United States to Japan to beyond.
31:49Here is to more Yuji Nagata.
31:51And Chris, here is to more New Japan Pro Wrestling.
31:55Coming up next, Kingdom Pro Wrestling 2024.
31:58My, oh my, what a stacked card we have made a vented by the World Heavyweight Championships.
32:04Do not miss it.
32:05Not just the World Heavyweight Championships.
32:07Seven championships on the line.
32:10Hiroshi Tanahashi's 25th anniversary.
32:13Nishikawa versus Hiromu Takahashi.
32:16Nine match card, every single one of those matchups.
32:19High stakes, high importance.
32:22Not just that night, but we're going to see a lot of ground set on that long road to the Tokyo Dome.
32:29You can call it the Wrestle Kingdom of the Autumn.
32:32Kingdom Pro Wrestling 2024 is stacked and it has the potential to change the landscape of New Japan Pro Wrestling.
32:39As we currently see it.
32:47Lovely justice.
32:50Giving it the old tip, so.
32:52Yuji Nagata.
32:55I get it.
32:57Yuji Nagata is going to shake hands with every single one.
33:00The bump fits with every single man, woman and child.
33:05Here in this arena.
33:06No doubt about it.
33:07This is a true connection.
33:10The connections that Nagata-san has forged over 40 years of a wrestling life.
33:18I'm so proud to keep seeing him.
33:24Like we said, bump and fits with all the fans.
33:26Hey.
33:28Look at you.
33:29How dare you not bump fits with Yuji Nagata.
33:32Are you a man?
33:33I am a man.
33:34I am a man.
33:36Who do you think you are?
33:37Taiji Ishimori?

35:45How about that?
35:46It is time for us to get off the air, folks.
35:48Thank you so much for joining us.
35:49You're going to be sticking around.
35:50I'll stick around.
35:51You've got to get the bus.
35:52Here's Yuji Nagata.
35:53I'll be seeing you all next time.
35:55Yes.
35:56Today's card.
35:57I wanted to save up for the February limit break.
36:00So, of course, this card is magically not a break off the back of a 30-minute short limit break.
36:07But I think I got a lot more than I did last time.
36:10I think I got a lot more than I did last time.
36:15So, I'm glad that we were able to put a pin in that and finish up the business here tonight.
36:23If there's anything...
36:24Shioda?
36:25Yes.
36:26Yes.
36:28He's big, isn't he?
36:29Yes.
36:31Shioda...
36:32Well, it looks like he was injured a little bit.
36:34But I think he's a little bit banged up in that matchup.
36:40That's why he's not backstage with me here.
36:46But that sort of thing happens.
36:49This matchup, Koshiyazaki and Katsuki Natsushi, both suffered their injuries, but it was great for them.
36:56Those things happen in the business.
36:59I'm planning on going to Sakura next.
37:01I wanted to do it this time, but I don't know if I'll have the schedule.
37:05I'll fight with all my might for Sakura.
37:09I'll see what happens in Sakura City in Chiba for the next Blue Justice next January.
37:14As a pro-wrestler, as a promoter, as a YouTuber...
37:18I'll do my best.
37:23I'm sorry to say this, but there's a festival going on in my hometown.
37:29It's been 17 years since I've been to a festival, so I don't get a lot of visitors.
37:36But there's still some people that used to come.
37:41They didn't come today because there was a big festival here in town.
37:46But it's great to see everybody who was here come here tonight.
37:53And I will keep on working to my fullest to make sure that we have more and more people seeing more and more Yuji Nagata.
38:05Is there a difference, something special, or something you see over the years working as a promoter?
38:17I've been doing a lot of work over the last 2, 3, 4 months about promoting this event.
38:31I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of people, and shaking a lot of hands.
38:36I'm hoping to see a lot of people come out to the matches here tonight.
38:39I see a lot of people that I always see, a lot of people I see for the first time.
38:46There's a lot of companies and sponsors that we have around, and other people that are helping with the promotion.
38:54I'm very excited to be working with them.
39:01Thank you very much.
39:31Thank you very much.
40:01Thank you very much.
40:31Thank you very much.
