00:51昨日の1.4で王座防衛を果たした。
01:00IWGPヘビー級王者、岡田和親。
01:06最強の王者が追い求める景色。それは。
01:11超前にならなかった!
01:15その悔しさを胸にまた超前に向かっていきたいと思います。
01:22この最強のベルトを持ち続けて、もっと大きく、もっと広く、プロレスを世界にとどろかせたい。
01:33これだけの戦いをして、まだ明日もある。
01:38僕の中では2日連続のIWGPの防衛戦だと思ってますんで。
01:44初の東京ドーム2連戦。この舞台で今度こそは。
01:512年前のドームでのマイク。覚えてるか?
01:58内藤さん。東京ドームのメイイベント。最高に気持ちいいだろ。
02:06勝つとな。もっと気持ちいいぞろな野郎。
02:10史上初の異議業。そして、東京ドームで初めての大合唱。

02:40さあ、伝説を作ろうぜ。
02:45IWGPヘビー級。IWGPインターコンチネンタル。
02:49ダブル戦士堅持。内藤哲也vs岡田和親!
02:56ダブル戦士堅持。
02:58ダブル戦士堅持。
03:01ダブル戦士堅持。
03:08Tonight's paid attendance, 30,063, bringing the two-night total for WrestleKingdom 14 to
03:2970,071. Each fan has been on the edge of their seat through a remarkable rise of emotion, talent, and unprecedented physical.
03:47And now, the final chapter, the double gold dash journey, and the first fan to come out is the newly minted Intercontinental Champion, a physically intense war against Switchblade Jay White less than 24 hours ago. Planet White.
04:12Young loss in double numbers in Kapan. His high damage to the Intercontinental Champion, Tetsuya Naito.
04:28And two years after the bitter disappointment for Tetsuya Naito being defeated in the main event of this building.
04:36Six years after the bitter disappointment of being voted down into the semi-main event.
04:44Seven years after being defeated by Okada in his first defense as IWGP Heavyweight Champion.
04:5323 years after deciding to become a professional wrestler, after being a fan, sitting in the cheap seats on the third baseline and 33 years since as a kindergartener, he got on a train on his own to pick up his dad to go and see the matches.
05:13This is the final chapter, not just for the double gold dash, but the final chapter for Tetsuya Naito and Golden Glory.
05:23But the question is, does this story have a happy ending, or is it after all a bitter tragedy?
05:35Tetsuya Naito has won three straight Intercontinental Championship matches here at Tokyo Dome.
05:40IWGP Heavyweight Championship match.
05:43IWGP Intercontinental Championship match.
05:46IWGP Intercontinental match with the double championship match.
05:47In the 1960s, the final championship match.
05:490-0.
05:51Downtown split in final Olympics.
05:52IWGP Intercontinental Championship.
05:54IWGP Intercontinental match.
05:55Ardenberry Reign will be defeated from the whole championship match with 180cm and 102km.
05:59Naito Tetsuya Naito has equaled Okada at five rounds.
06:10five-time Intercontinental Champion with the win last night.
06:17But if he is not successful here, it will be his shortest.
06:40There can only be one, one winner of the Double Dash Gold.
07:10There is only one talent, one megastar, the man who holds the IWGP Heavyweight Championship,
07:25the greatest prize in all of professional sports, the true king of the king of sports,
07:36the rainmaker Kazuchika Okada.
07:40And how appropriate, glow aside, that both of these men are in white gowns
07:45because we are in virgin, untrodden path.
07:49Somebody is going to be the first.
07:52And the first is all that matters to Tetsuya Naito.
07:56All that matters to Kazuchika Okada is not the first, but being the best.
08:00The absolute best.
08:02You want to talk about the importance of Tokyo Dome, the importance of this match?
08:07Sitting front row right now is the current Jokuzuna of sumo wrestling in Japan.
08:12That's how big this is.
08:14This is an important night and an important time.
08:18This has to be the best.
08:19He is the first.
08:20I have nothing but no one.
08:21You really want to talk about that in the world.
08:24You want to talk about it.
08:25You want to talk about it.
08:26It's like what I want to talk about it.
08:28This is what I want to talk about and that comes from fear.
08:29So what I want to talk about this is that Okada is something that has kind of a dream
08:34everything that has encompassed Okada
08:36and his thought during this fifth reign.
08:39Realizing that New Japan competes
08:41with the Japan World Cup for Rugby
08:43upcoming Olympics this summer.
08:46And Okada's dream of taking New Japan Pro Wrestling
08:50equaling and surpassing those global sports,
08:53putting New Japan on an unprecedented plane.
08:57The question is, gentlemen,
08:58not only who will be the winner
09:00of the first ever Double Gold Dash,
09:02but who will truly be the king
09:04and the king of sports.
09:06We are about to find out.
09:14The announcement of the belts being handed over
09:16first the Intercontinental,
09:19then the heavyweight.
09:23Naito's robe saying
09:25Todo or nada, all or nothing.
09:28And that's absolutely the mindset
09:31within El Ngo Benable.
09:37And Naito five times,
09:40as Kevin said,
09:40five-time Intercontinental Champion matches.
09:43Kazuchika Okada's five IWGP heavyweight reigns.
09:46Also matches Shinsuke Nakamura's
09:48five Intercontinental Championship reigns.
09:50The most in history.
09:52But new ground being trodden tonight.
09:55Since they've returned from Excursion,
09:58their returns from Excursion,
10:00Okada holds a series lead over Naito.
10:03Five to three with a 4-1 series lead
10:05in the five IWGP heavyweight championship matches.
10:12Their longest match, 34-26,
10:16two years ago, Wrestle Kingdom.
10:17Each man went over half an hour last night.
10:21Okada nearly 40 minutes.
10:23The grueling toll that last night's battle took on both men
10:26will be apparent throughout.
10:29Perhaps more so, Rocky, with Tetsuya Naito.
10:34The damage done by switchblade Jay White.
10:36Absolutely to those knees,
10:38and we'll see what kind of condition
10:39Naito truly is in.
10:42Okada.
10:45With a war against Kota Ibushi last night.
10:49And with the sound of that bell,
10:52we have entered the 44th IWGP heavyweight championship match for Okada.
10:59Alright, so Red Shoes the arbiter here.
11:02It seems to be evenly split.
11:11Wait a minute, maybe Naito's starting to take over a little bit.
11:15The LIJ supporters more vocal.
11:18But the Okada ones,
11:20the patrons in favor of the Rainmaker,
11:23hardly being shouted down.
11:26And Red Shoes will determine that Naito is the one
11:29with the edge.
11:30Naito had the edge with the crowd over Okada
11:34back at Invasion Attack in 2016
11:38when he did win the IWGP heavyweight championship.
11:43At that time,
11:45the biggest core,
11:47the biggest chorus
11:48of Los Ingobernables de Haban.
11:51What's going to be interesting here is what pace is dictated and by who.
11:57Of course, it's been very different.
11:58Yep, and
11:59Okada, of course,
12:03was very patient with Ibushi last night.
12:05And Naito will take his time,
12:06no doubt about it.
12:07When you look at the cumulative number,
12:11title reigns and days held.
12:13Chris, yes,
12:15one title reign for Tetsuya Naito totaled 70 days.
12:20Five reigns for Okada's IWGP heavyweight champion,
12:241,790 days.
12:27Like Rocky said last night,
12:29one of, if not the greatest,
12:31IWGP heavyweight champion ever.
12:34Yeah, Rocky doesn't mince words.
12:36He says the all-time greatest.
12:39You know, and I think that's...
12:40Facts are facts.
12:42That's always the question, isn't it,
12:43with Naito and the question that's always been in the back of
12:46that man himself,
12:48his own mind,
12:49where he's very similar in a career path to a Masahiro Chono.
12:53The guy who led NWO Japan,
12:56set merchandise records,
12:57set attendance records,
12:59was one of the most charismatic individuals that there ever was,
13:01but he was never the top guy.
13:04He was only ever IWGP heavyweight champion for a month.
13:08And perhaps niggling in the back of his mind,
13:11he knows his properly,
13:12he knows he can be there,
13:13but is he good enough?
13:15Perhaps Naito can't answer that question.
13:17The first collision of the match is a strong collar and elbow tie-up,
13:21and this double gold championship journey
13:23now really will get underway.
13:26We'll see how the match unfolds.
13:28Rocky, when you're Kazuchika Okada,
13:30you have every tool in the toolbox at your disposal.
13:34What do you think his strategy will be against Tetsuya Naito here tonight?
13:39I think his strategy will be to wrestle the way Okada wrestles.
13:44Each and every time,
13:46stick to what he's good at,
13:48and not change too much.
13:51He's consistent.
13:53That's why he's a consistent champion.
13:54Throughout 2019,
13:58we highlighted last night the struggles for Tetsuya Naito in consistency.
14:04Will there be a clean break here?
14:08Something to think about
14:09for the ungovernable one,
14:11but wait now,
14:11quickening the pace is Okada.
14:13Sends Naito across.
14:14Leapfrog from Okada.
14:16Shoots through the legs,
14:17does Naito.
14:18Swing and a miss with the clothesline.
14:19Ducks the elbow,
14:20Okada.
14:20The elbow knocked down.
14:22And that's Classic Okada there,
14:26the man
14:27who main evented Tokyo Dome as the IWGP champion.
14:35And walked away with the victory last night against Obuchi.
14:39Both men looking pretty fresh
14:40compared to what they went through last night.
14:43And we'll see how the
14:44story of this match unfolds
14:46and whether or not punishment
14:47absorbed last night
14:49takes its toll tonight.
14:50A fast start for Okada
14:51once he was finally able to wrangle a hold of Naito,
14:54the DDT,
14:55and a near fall.
14:5718-3 was the mark in singles matches
14:59for Kazuchika Okada in 2019.
15:01Just 9-7 for Tetsuya Naito.
15:04He was teetering on the edge
15:06of
15:07irrelevance
15:08when the question of this double goal dash began.
15:11But a victory over Taichi
15:12at the last moment it seemed
15:14put him back in the conversation.
15:16The thing Naito has to watch here is
15:20as he starts to panic
15:22he almost gets
15:23busy fate.
15:24He tends to
15:25double step and triple step himself.
15:27Rocky, you talked about that last night.
15:29The footwork
15:29and the
15:30an unsure nature at times.
15:33Especially with that knee.
15:34Unsure.
15:35Obviously the knee
15:36giving him some troubles.
15:37And just not moving the way
15:40that Tetsuya Naito
15:41usually moves.
15:42That explosive offense.
15:43You know, taking those first couple steps
15:45that big step off
15:46of one foot.
15:48He wasn't able to do that
15:49in the match against Jay White last night.
15:51And remember that match
15:52that main event
15:53two years ago
15:54where it was a momentary hesitation
15:56right at the end
15:58that cost him against Kazuchika Okada.
15:59That's absolutely right.
16:00If he's not absolutely certain
16:02he will lose this match.
16:03And Gino, we were all together
16:05for that
16:05that Tokyo Dome experience
16:07at Wrestle Kingdom
16:08and you just
16:09when that three count
16:11was told
16:11that Naito didn't win
16:12it was an atmosphere
16:13like no other.
16:14Yeah, it was
16:15it was very
16:16I don't know how to say this
16:17but it kind of sucked the air
16:18out of the dome
16:19and everyone was quite flat
16:21and no one really knew
16:22what to do at that point
16:23and no one knew the future
16:24for Naito either
16:25but right now
16:25Oh, great sliding kick
16:28from the Raymaker.
16:29Did you notice Okada
16:30put the brakes on Naito
16:32who looked like he was going
16:32to try to roll away.
16:34Okada kept him right there
16:35and delivered the drop kick.
16:36Well at this stage
16:37Okada is definitely
16:38dictating everything
16:38in this match
16:39and Naito's in
16:40a bit of struggle.
16:43I mean Okada
16:44looks confident
16:45doesn't he?
16:47Yeah, I gotta agree Rocky
16:48Okada looks like
16:49a fighting champion
16:50right now
16:50and Naito looks like
16:52he's fighting
16:53from underneath
16:54and
16:54right now
16:57when you're in the main event
16:58of Tokyo Dome
16:59it just might not be good enough.
17:01Naito a premier counter puncher.
17:02Arm drag
17:05sends Okada across
17:06catches him coming in
17:07catches him with the elbow
17:08from kicking in the back of the head.
17:10Finally putting together
17:11some offense.
17:13It was a mid kick
17:14from Ibushi
17:15that slowed Okada
17:16towards the beginning
17:18of the match
17:19last night.
17:24Here we go.
17:26Sweeps the leg.
17:27Combination
17:27got wrong.
17:30Kick to the upper torso
17:31with Naito slingshotting
17:33himself over the top rope.
17:38Every LIJ supporter
17:40not just here
17:41in Tokyo Dome
17:42but around the world
17:43watching live
17:44on NJPWworld.com
17:45there is hope.
17:47There is hope
17:48for Tetsuya Naito
17:49to right the wrong
17:51of two years ago.
17:52But if Koto Ibushi
17:56last night
17:57in the Tokyo Dome
17:58if Jay White
17:59back at Madison Square Garden
18:00wrestled perfect matches
18:01and still lost
18:02Oh great swing there.
18:04Wow yeah.
18:05How unorthodox
18:06of Naito.
18:07Quickly moving
18:07to the outside Dome
18:08looking to press
18:09the advantage here.
18:11Now look.
18:11Neckbreaker
18:12Neckbreaker
18:13Oh wow.
18:17So we talked about
18:19we asked Rocky
18:19what's Okada's strategy
18:21stick with the
18:22traditional game plan
18:23as we get another look.
18:24The Neckbreaker here
18:26and Gino
18:26it seems to me
18:27like it's all systems
18:28go for Naito
18:29for the finisher.
18:30Absolutely.
18:31He is rearing
18:33and revving the gun
18:33and it looks like
18:34we might even see
18:35some old school
18:36Naito come out
18:37and it might be
18:38what he needs
18:38to win this match.
18:47Working on that neck
18:48leading up to
18:51Destino
18:52it's just a good
18:55game plan by
18:56Naito at this stage.
19:00The thing is
19:01can he stick to it?
19:05Does he believe
19:06in himself
19:07physically and mentally?
19:09And that was
19:10a lot of debate
19:11before
19:11Wrestle Kingdom
19:13Chris
19:13that recent interview
19:14on NJPW1972.com
19:16Neckbreaker there
19:17Naito will float
19:18over into the cover
19:18to
19:19he doubted himself
19:21for a good part
19:22of 2019
19:23he said
19:23he wasn't sure
19:24whether he could
19:25do this anymore
19:26and I wonder
19:27and Rocky
19:28mentioned on his gear
19:30all or nothing
19:31everything or nothing
19:32I wonder
19:33if he loses this
19:34is Naito done?
19:36Even if not
19:38hey I'm gonna call it
19:39quits and hack the boots up
19:40maybe he does go
19:41hey Sonata
19:42hey Evil
19:43hey Shingo
19:44why don't you take over
19:45I'm gonna take a backseat
19:46Could very well be
19:48maybe he'll
19:49he'll take a break
19:50Reverse DDT
19:51with Neckbreaker instead
19:52and now look at this
19:53Oh yeah we saw this last night
19:54See if he got the legs
19:56wrapped up
19:57yep
19:57He called it
19:58Kevin like a full Nelson
19:59but with the legs
20:00as it applies the pressure
20:01again
20:01focusing on that
20:02neck of Okada
20:03But Rocky
20:06going back to your point
20:07about
20:07what does Naito do
20:09if he loses this match
20:10it was the stage
20:11in 2019
20:12LOJ and Naito
20:14seem to be rock bottom
20:15but right now
20:16he's the man
20:17facing Okada
20:18into Tokyo Dome of Naito
20:20yeah
20:20the lowest point
20:21for Naito
20:22was definitely

20:26just got beaten
20:27bludgeoned

26:20Gloria
26:20Gloria
26:22Oh, Okada with another great uppercut.
26:36Oh, Naito.
26:38Looked like he was going to swing wild and pop the brakes.
26:41Naito!
26:42Shot!
26:44John moved him right into the corner.
26:47And Rocky is so spot on.
26:49There is no misstep or misstiming with Okada.
26:52Blast in Naito with that shotgun dropkick.
26:57Look, he gloated.
26:58Wow.
26:58Took a second and it gave Okada the opening.
27:01The IWGP heavyweight champion, Kazuchika Okada.
27:23Okada is in the plus position and he has his eyes on the finish line.
27:31He can see it.
27:33He can taste it.
27:40Naito denying Okada.
27:41Kicking him away the second time.
27:45Oh!
27:46Oh!
27:47Down right here in front of us.
27:48Naito sent Krasi all the way from the top.
27:51And what a dropkick by Okada.
27:53Another look.
27:54Another look.
27:55Wow.
27:56Picture perfect.
27:57Wow.
27:58Picture perfect.
28:03Renshu's making his way out to check on Naito.
28:05Renshu's trying to get Okada back into the ring before any more damage can be done on Tetsuya Naito.
28:20What is Okada doing here?
28:24Wow!
28:25Oh my god!
28:26The knee of Naito that was so injured last night against switchblade Jay White just driven into the deck.
28:34Okada's not going to take any chances.
28:37Naito isn't screaming.
28:40He's grabbing his knee.
28:41He's wincing.
28:43Okada.
28:45Okada knew exactly what he was doing.
28:49Okada knew exactly what he was doing there.
28:50Stop!
28:51And now Wahei!
28:52Whoa, whoa, whoa.
28:53Rocky step in man.
28:54Say something.
28:55Handing the monitor to Shinpei Nogami who's the sideline reporter for this main event.
29:00And this is very unlikely of Okada.
29:05It's not something that he usually does.
29:08Trying to drive Naito into that ringside table.
29:12Chop blocking that knee.
29:13And an elbow straight to the knee of Naito.
29:18This is insurance, gentlemen.
29:21Oh my god.
29:23Oh my god!
29:26Naito might not be able to compete.
29:32He drove his knee directly to that table.
29:35Oh!
29:36Look at the angle!
29:37Where did Naito?
29:38Oh!
29:39Red Shoes now checking on Nyko.
29:40I think if the count's applied at this point it might be done.
29:41Red Shoes wouldn't end it that way surely.
29:45Wow!
29:46His knee, his hip.
29:47It was such an awkward angle Rocky that he came down on.
29:52Yeah!
29:53Two.
29:54Two.
29:55Three.
29:56Two.
29:57Three.
29:58Two.
29:59Three.
30:00Two.
30:01Three.
30:02Two.
30:03Three.
30:04Three.
30:05Three.
30:06Three.
30:07Three.
30:08Three.
30:09Three.
30:10Three.
30:11Two.
30:13Three.
30:14I wanted to look and see if the table is fractured, and it definitely is.
30:24But is the knee of Naito fractured beyond repair?
30:29Have the double gold dreams for Naito come to an end.
30:33Will the journey end via count-out?
30:38Sadi, he's a long way away.
30:41It's at 14 seconds.
30:43Naito isn't even on his feet.
30:46No!
30:48He's collapsed.
30:50He's collapsed.
30:51Don't let it end this way.
30:55Don't let it end this way.
30:59And Okada heads straight to the top.
31:07Okada senses a wounded Naito.
31:09Oh, my God!
31:17Covered to our kick-out!
31:20And I think Tetsuya Naito suffered some serious damage to that knee.
31:36Back elbows.
31:53Desperation.
31:54German suplex.
31:55German suplex.
31:56He hangs up.
31:58He's locked in.
32:01And we have seen this before.
32:04When Okada hits that German suplex.
32:07It's time for a rainmaker.
32:09Counter.
32:10He struggled delivering that DDT against Jay White last night.
32:18But tonight, he hit it perfect.
32:20Take a look.
32:28Wow.
32:29At the absolute moment when he couldn't afford one misstep at all, Tetsuya Naito was able to come through.
32:36But Naito's still in a lot of trouble.
32:41That knee driven heavily into the table.
32:47And right now, he needs to think of another plan.
32:52And just when it looked as all hope lost for LIJ fans and for Tetsuya Naito.
32:57The ungovernable one is on his feet.
33:03And it's Okada that's down.
33:05Wow.
33:06Look at the way he's moving, though.
33:08Yeah.
33:09He's in trouble right now.
33:10Yeah.
33:10It's going to be hard to deliver.
33:12Anything at this stage.
33:16A high-angle Gloria.
33:18Okada down hard on his neck.
33:21He struggled with that one, though.
33:27It's a little half-smile hiding a lot of physical pain and anguish right now.
33:36The man who plays mental games is playing the biggest mental game with himself at this point.
33:45He's so unsteady on that left leg right now.
33:47Yeah, he's trying to convince himself that his knee is not destroyed.
33:53Yeah.
33:55Absolutely.
33:57Yeah.
33:58He can't even stand at this point.
34:01And yet, again, climbing to the top.
34:03Oh, no.
34:04Oh, my God.
34:05No.
34:06Rocky.
34:07No.
34:08Oh, my God.
34:09Oh, my God.
34:10No.
34:11Poison ramp on the top.
34:14I don't believe it.
34:16Tetsuya Naito.
34:18Come on.
34:19No.
34:20Surely that was three.
34:23That had to be three.
34:25Take another look, gentlemen.
34:29Oh.
34:30The poison runner from the top by Naito.
34:35Does he close it now?
34:37He's got that control.
34:39Here we go.
34:40Desperation.
34:44Elbows from Okada, but nothing on them.
34:49Boom.
34:51Enziguri lands.
34:54Okada reverses.
34:55Flying for him to Okada.
34:56He's got him in air.
34:58Scrape the endmaker.
34:59No.
35:06Okada not going where Naito wants him to.
35:10Okada's locked these wrists in.
35:12Preventing Destino.
35:19Black forearm delivers that time.
35:22Caught him right under the chin.
35:23Here we go.
35:27Destino.
35:30Combo kick.
35:32Combo kick lands.
35:33Reversal now.
35:34Dropped.
35:36Drop kicked in mid-flight.
35:39What a collision.
35:40We better fight those.
35:42Destino.
35:43What?
35:47Come on.
35:50Come on.
35:51You've got to be kidding me.
35:53Come on.
35:54Come on.
35:55One more look.
36:03Incredible.
36:05The whole world thought that was it.
36:08That's a double goal of Naito.
36:10Todo or nada.
36:13All or nothing.
36:14Tetsuya Naito is in the driver's seat.
36:19And one Destino away to fulfilling his destiny.
36:22Don't waste him.
36:23You caught him.
36:26Destino.
36:28Swing and a miss.
36:30Drop kick again.
36:32And that's what it's all about right there.
36:56The double goal.
36:57The two prestigious prizes in pro wrestling.
37:00And it's going to go to one of these men tonight.
37:05Red shoes.
37:07Checking.
37:08On both of these champions.
37:14He's contemplating a stoppage Rocky.
37:16The most important match in New Japan pro wrestling history.
37:36Two of the greatest champions of all time.
37:39Competing.
37:43In this all or nothing event.
37:47They're clinging on to each other's hair.
37:50In desperation they're clinging on to history.
37:52They're clinging on to destiny.
37:56Pulling each other up.
38:00With as much strength as they can muster.
38:02Battle eating each other throughout the system.
38:08As young lions.
38:11Coming of age.
38:14Achieving success.
38:16The Shuyaku.
38:17The top star.
38:19Was not Naito's time.
38:22Two years ago.
38:23Again.
38:24Not Naito's time.
38:25Kevin you're so spot on.
38:33There's such animosity in history between these two men.
38:40And right now you feel every moment.
38:46As both rain blows on each other.
38:49Yeah.
38:52Hit that.
38:52Oh man.
38:54Yeah.
38:55Sounds like a hundred thousand people in this place right now.
39:13And all of those people are feeling every blow and willing every blow.
39:18Don't let them go.
39:23I can't.
39:25Don't let them out.
39:29Oh cow.
39:30Zo.
39:38Don't let them out.
39:39I can't.
39:40Yes.
39:41Don't let them out.
39:44We must.
39:46You're how.
39:46Wait a minute, wait a minute, Rainmaker
39:55Valencia, no
40:00Speeding Rainmaker
40:03He got all of them
40:06Did you hear that?
40:16Alright, no
40:19He caught him, he caught him, two stars
40:23It's all but over
40:32Alright, Rainmaker
40:35Wow
40:43Naito just kicked
40:47Out of the Rainmaker after a spinning tombstone
40:51And Okada can't believe it
40:54We're 30 minutes in
40:56This crowd can't believe it
41:13The stakes are higher than they have ever been
41:19Uh-oh
41:22He's thinking that
41:24That sit-out tombstone
41:27Right
41:28The final blow that felled Sonata
41:33In 2019
41:35Sit-out driver
41:37And Okada
41:40Naito
41:41Watch the eyes
41:42We're fighting back
41:42Naito's fighting back
41:44It's all he could do to fight out of it
41:49Escaping by the skin of his teeth
41:52Wow
41:56One more spit in the face of the champion
42:23One more spit in the face of all the people that have told Tetsuya Naito
42:27You're not the guy
42:29But perhaps it doesn't matter
42:31One more act of defiance
42:33But again
42:34Arcata's right back to the knee
42:36The insurance policy
42:41In that wrecked knee
42:45Of Tetsuya Naito
42:46He'll do it again
42:50And there's nothing Naito can do about it
42:57And booze right now
42:58Throughout the Tokyo dome
43:00They're all preparing to riot
43:07And Okada's saying
43:08Well let it rain
43:09Point in the pot
43:10Sits out that time for extra measure
43:15Nothing personal Naito
43:29It's just business
43:31And now Okada with wrist control
43:41Yes
43:41He is about to close up shop here on January 5th
43:44With a Rainmaker
43:45But he will not stop
43:47In similar fashion
43:51To the way that he defeated
43:53Kota Ibushi
43:55Last night
43:56In the main event
43:57Rainmaker again
43:59Okada will close the chapter
44:05On Tetsuya Naito
44:09And walk out of the Tokyo dome
44:12Double champion
44:14Rainmaker
44:15No
44:15Dusty
44:17No
44:17But his knee jam
44:20His knee jam
44:21One
44:23Two
44:25Oh
44:25That split second
44:28When Naito grabbed his knee
44:30Was enough for Okada
44:31Tended heavy
44:34Boy you could see that knee
44:36The landing hard
44:39And now Naito
44:57Don't get cute sunshine
45:04Remember two years ago
45:06Don't do it
45:07Don't do it
45:08Oh
45:09Start
45:10Unpressed
45:11Oh
45:12One
45:14Two
45:15Oh
45:16Oh
45:17And Okada kicks out
45:19My God
45:21The timekeeper's hammer was raised
45:32And the bell was about to ring on history
45:35But again Okada survives
45:38But again Okada survives
45:3835 minutes gone
45:43He'll try one more time
45:59Tetsuya
46:00Tetsuya
46:01Tetsuya
46:02He cannot do it
46:04He cannot do it
46:06Tetsuya
46:07Is courage to back the destiny
46:10Destiny
46:12Destiny
46:13Destiny
46:14No
46:15Yes
46:17Yes
46:1935 minutes
46:20Naito
46:21Naito
46:22Tetsuya
46:23Naito has done it
46:27Naito has done it
46:28Naito has done it
46:30He's now I double-chipi heavyweight
46:31Can you believe it?
46:32Retribution finally
46:33Tetsuya
46:34Tetsuya
46:35Tetsuya
46:36Can you believe it?
46:37Retribution finally
46:38Tetsuya
46:40And history has been made
46:4230,000 plus fans jumped out of their seats
46:54What a moment
46:59What a moment
47:12There it is official
47:14Tetsuya Naito is indeed the best
47:18And more than that
47:19Tetsuya Naito is the first
47:22Forever in the history books
47:28That man's name will be etched
47:41Jesus Christ Almighty
47:43When he went to that top for the Stardust Press
47:45I was losing my mind
47:48And then when Okada kicked out
47:50I lost what was left of my mind
47:52And it didn't end there
47:54That was just amazing
47:58What a moment
48:01For everyone in the Tokyo Dome
48:03And everyone at home watching to be a part of
48:05Think about all the fans around the world
48:07Hundreds of thousands of people
48:09And the collective jubilation
48:11All around the world
48:12When the three count was finally told
48:14A run lost grip in the air
48:29Just so much emotion in this building
48:32How does it feel now
48:39Tetsuya Naito after
48:41The long two years
48:45And much longer than that
48:47To be in this spot
48:49And to win
48:50From the cheap seats on the third baseline
48:53To the pitchers mound
48:55And he just delivered a hell of a pitch tonight
48:58Oh yeah
48:59And it was the bottom of the night
49:01Last night
49:02The tying run scored
49:05And Tetsuya Naito comes up
49:10With two outs
49:12And the runner in scoring position
49:15And he delivers
49:16It looks like they are going to
49:25Well first
49:26As they help Okada out of the ring
49:28My god Rocky
49:29What an amazing athlete
49:31What an amazing champion
49:37He is an inspiring man
49:40I mean he is
49:41A great champion
49:43An absolute greater person
49:47Before the titles
49:48Can be presented to Naito
49:50He is calling for the microphone
49:55As he sees Okada
49:57Walking up the aisle
49:59Walking away from the ring
50:01Okada
50:03Okada
50:08Tokyo Dome
50:09What we have seen
50:10Is that the champion
50:11The champion
50:12Of the main event
50:13The champion
50:14Really
50:15It is great
50:16The champion
50:17Winning in the main event
50:18The Tokyo Dome
50:19Turns out it feels
50:20Pretty good
50:21To have you
50:21Again
50:23I will win
50:24The champion
50:26Tokyo Dome
50:27The champion
50:28Man
50:29I am
50:30One more time
50:31In the future
50:32Let's do this again
50:33And the fist raise
50:34In acknowledgement
50:35in acknowledgement
50:44now let the golden procession begin
50:55explaining that the belts will now be presented
50:59to the man that
51:05This doesn't change history, but it perhaps just makes things right.
51:14The pain of denial from two years ago, from seven years ago, will never go away.
51:22But the satisfaction in victory here tonight is preeminent.
51:27Double gold, double champion. Tetsuya Naito has done it.
51:38And what new chapters will Tetsuya Naito write now?
51:47A long, hard road.
51:49Christian said it in uncharted waters.
51:56Rocket coined that race as well.
51:58It was a...
52:00Now it's a situation where New Japan matchmakers are going to have to make some tough choices, make some interesting choices.
52:09And Tetsuya Naito, I'm sure, is going to play a very welcoming hand in that.
52:14And people are going to have to listen to his voice and listen to what that man has to say.
52:19And he's going to say it right now.
52:24Buenas noches, Tokio Dome!
52:32Been waiting to say that forever, huh?
52:34Yeah.
52:34Everybody that's gathered here today at the Tokyo Dome, and all the people watching around the world.
52:53You have finally seen Tetsuya Naito flip the script.
52:59How was it, guys?
53:00I'm going to take these two belts.
53:13What do you want to do?
53:14And what...
53:15Just what am I going to do with these?
53:22Well, you all know what the answer is.
53:25But there is one thing that he wants to say right now.
53:51I will never, ever forget this weekend.
53:54And with these two belts, I will now take steps forward into the future.
54:09So, that just about brings us to the end, so let's end this in style.
