03:01What do you want me to do?
03:03At least I got him, so I got to know.
03:04Yeah, I got to know.
03:06I got to know about 10 years ago and I've been trying to get back to my feet.
03:10I got back to my feet and I got back to my feet.
03:13I'm still just a young man.
03:16I'm trying to get up with the top of my feet.

04:00GHC Heavy級選手権試合!
04:03王者!
04:04小澤 vs!
04:06挑戦者!
04:08Kenta!
04:17Global Power of the Core!
04:24Global Power of the Core!
04:26Australia!
04:27Australia!
04:28踏 character!
04:29www.se
05:49He is surely back.
05:52If he is challenging for the GHC Heavyweight Championship today, that means he is back to stay.
05:58He is one of the most important figures in control wrestling, Noah's 25-year history.
06:06He's returned home.
06:07The Black Sun shines in Noah again.
06:16Signs the t-shirt as he always does.
06:18He wraps it up.
06:24And he'll send it into the crowd here for one lucky fan.
06:29Who wants it most?
06:34He is legitimately furious with Ozawa.
06:57And how he's tarnished the GHC Heavyweight Championship belt.
07:04And let's not forget, he won the National Championship belt and discarded it immediately.
07:10So he only held it for one day and decided he did not want it.
07:15That's right.
07:15Who does that?
07:16This man, Ozawa.
07:18He's a very special individual.
07:20The new face of Japanese pro wrestling recently graced the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
07:25And now he headlines here at Biokoku for the first time.
07:32Team 2000X.
07:37He actually sees Kenta, the challenger here today, as a slacker.
07:43He's called him out on his history in the WWE in New Japan.
07:50Asking him what he's doing here in Noah.
07:55But Kenta doesn't feel the need to address any of the questions that Ozawa has.
08:03He's clearly out to show today why he came back to Noah.
08:08But this man has been on fire since New Year's Day this year.
08:12Yeah, he's been a complete revelation, hasn't he?
08:14He's been the talk of pro wrestling around the world.
08:18He's led pro wrestling Noah to three consecutive sellouts for Rock and Hall this year.
08:22He is the 46th GHC heavyweight champion.
08:29And he is making his fourth title defense here today.
08:33V1 was against Galeno on February 11th.
08:36V2 against Manabu Soya, which was a lumberjack deathmatch on March the 2nd.
08:43V3 was against Masaaki Tamiya on March the 22nd.
08:50122 days into his heavyweight title reign.
08:54Is there nothing this man cannot do?
08:58He's absolutely fearless, isn't he?
09:00Takes every new challenge in his stride.
09:02That's what makes him so dangerous.
09:04He just cannot take your eyes off this man for a second.
09:06I think he's going to keep his sunglasses on as well.
09:33GHC heavyweight champion試合, 60分, 1-point勝負を行います.
09:43The challenger, Black Sun, Kenta!
09:52The challenger, Black Sun, Kenta!
09:55Akakona, GHC heavyweight champion, Team 2000X, the real level, Ozawa!
10:11The reigning and defending GHC heavyweight champion, the real rebel, Ozawa!
10:24Ozawa's one previous match in this venue was in a pre-show contest in 2023.
10:32Two years on, he's headlining against Kenta.
10:34Kenta says he's bringing a mixture of his old style, which the fans know him for.
10:44Plus Alpha, he said.
10:46Yep.
10:49He asked Ozawa if his mother was coming today.
10:52He refers to her as Yoshimi, her first name.
10:56He said if she comes, I'll give her a t-shirt.
10:58And then when asked what size she was, when Ozawa said she was XXL, Kenta said,
11:04yeah, she's fat.
11:05I heard that at the conference.
11:08They went back and forth in there with a verbal spat yesterday.
11:12There's no better man, really, to challenge for the GHC heavyweight crown.
11:17Noah's 25th anniversary show here.
11:19Kenta has held four Noah titles.
11:28His GHC heavyweight reign lasted 343 days back in 2013 into 2014 with nine successful defences, Mark.
11:40Yeah, what a run that was.
11:42Repeated.
11:45Takashi Morishima.
11:47At that point was completely unstoppable.
11:48And then nine defences, as you say, still.
11:51So embedded in the history of pro wrestling, Noah.
11:56He also said it's been a while since he challenged for the GHC, for any GHC title.
12:01So he's got that nostalgic feeling, that feeling of excitement.
12:05And he's looking forward to having the belt around his waist again here today.
12:08But Ozawa, as usual, with the Team 2000X antics.
12:14Non-plussed face of Kenta in the ring.
12:17Patiently, at the moment, patiently waiting for the champion to come back in.
12:24Kenta knows what to expect there.
12:27He teamed up with Keno to beat Ozawa.
12:30And Ketsuya Endo in that pool.
12:31No disqualification match at Croak and Hall last month.
12:33Effectively rubber-staffed today's main event.
12:37Yeah, that no DQ match was something else.
12:39And Kenta, he said beforehand, I'm going to show you that no DQ matches are no joke.
12:44And he did that.
12:44Ladders, tables are plenty.
12:46Beautiful, flying head scissors.
12:49They're great.
12:50Runner now off the ropes.
12:53And Kenta go.
12:57Starting with a little bit of top rock there.
12:59That gets caught.
13:01Kenta getting booed here.
13:02The fans wanted to see the break dancing.
13:05Yeah.
13:05They wanted to see the break dancing.
13:09Some fans are cheering.
13:12AJ Muto doesn't know what to make of things over on the Japanese commentary desk.
13:16Well, yeah.
13:16I mean, he's just broken all the norms.
13:18He's just put everything.
13:20All the conventions of pro wrestling up on his head.
13:22Ozawa is a man who break dances.
13:25He sings in the ring.
13:26He bites.
13:27He puts boogers on people he doesn't like.
13:31He is not your average GHC heavyweight champion.
13:35In fact, as you said, Mark, there has never been one like him.
13:37Yeah.
13:38He's not like anyone who came before him.
13:41Kenta takes a tumble onto the outside.
13:44Ozawa now getting a chance for some top rock.
13:46Brutal kick from Kenta.
13:57He's like, what do you want?
13:58This is what I came here to do.
14:00And he gets a cheer from the fans.
14:04Kenta.
14:06Respectable effort.
14:07Mocking him double foot stomp onto the midsection of the champion.
14:16Now, interestingly, Kenta has also been quite vocal about the narrow forehead of Ozawa.
14:22Very interesting, he focused on that.
14:23He said, there's not much space between his eyebrows and his hair line.
14:27He's thinking of that go to sleep, isn't he?
14:29Yes.
14:30Now, unfortunately, Yoshitatsu has made an appearance.
14:34And Ozawa-san.
14:36And they are basically sandwiching Kenta.
14:40He's got a lot to contend with on the outside here.
14:43Wada-san and Yoshitatsu.
14:44Nevermind, the GHG Everyweight Champion Ozawa.
14:48Just skyrocketed to fame, didn't he?
14:501st of January.
14:52By toppling Kaito Kiyomiya.
14:54Sensational upset.
14:58Today, he faces a different breed of opponent.
15:02This is the first time that Ozawa is facing a wrestler who has experience of going up against Noah Fanda,
15:07Taha Misawa, and fellow great Kenta Koboshi in singles competition.
15:14Kenta took a singles win versus Mance Warner in Las Vegas last month.
15:20Just staying incredibly busy in his career even still.
15:26He looks revitalized, doesn't he, since he's come back aboard the arc.
15:29Yeah, and the fans have been so warm to him.
15:31And he's been really, really grateful for that.
15:39The referee scouted Team 2000X, pushes Owada-san and Yoshitatsu's vapors.
15:46Five minutes into this main event here today, GHG Heavyweight Championship, and Ozawa got spiked hard.
15:55One, two, kicks out.
15:59He's been in great form since he came back to Noah, Kenta, 12-1 overall since returning.
16:06This is only Kenta's second singles match since coming back to Noah.
16:10He's beaded Oka Sasaki in March, a former UFC fighter.
16:13Then asked to team up with Kenta, and they formed that trio with Keno.
16:16Yeah, very much looking forward to seeing how that trio plays out.
16:21Of course, Keno and Oka Sasaki becoming new Tag Team Champions early on in the card here today.
16:30Stripping Team 2000X.
16:33So this could be, if Kenta wins, another blow for Team 2000X here today.
16:38Plus the whole thing with Tetsuya Endo that went up down earlier.
16:41Absolutely.
16:43Spinning heel kick from Kenta.
16:46Launches another brutal kick to the upper section of the body of the champion.
16:52The real rebel is a real sadomasochist.
16:55He's here for the ecstasy of violence.
16:57He loves to inflict it, and he loves to receive it, and he's been quite vocal about that.
17:01You know, we saw him at the press conference really talking about the ecstasy of attacking someone and being attacked and hurt.
17:09Almost the thrill of being alive and the thrill of pain.
17:11Yesterday, in fact, putting himself through the table at the press conference.
17:16Yeah, he wanted Kenta to hit him with the chair.
17:18Yoshitatsu getting involved again.
17:22He got down on his knees at the presser, and he wanted Kenta to hit him with the chair.
17:26And Kenta says, no, let's leave it for the fight itself.
17:29And that was when he went to the table.
17:31That's right.
17:32And just broke it.
17:35Dived on it and broke it.
17:36Referee is sending back Oada-san and Yoshitatsu, it looks like about time, if you ask me.
17:43Yes.
17:45This is what we want to see.
17:46Kenta just turned his back for too long there, took a dropkick to the spine from the back.
17:54Yeah, that's on where he just crumpled the challenger.
17:59Stomps now while the referee finally gets back into the ring to officiate things.
18:04He's still making sure that Team 2000X are leaving the exit.
18:10There it is, the toe-tip turnbuckle moonsault.
18:19Nonchalant, nonchalant pinball attempt.
18:23That's what he's all about.
18:31Body slam just to keep things moving.
18:34Sits down on it this time.
18:36Ozawa barely breaking a sweat.
18:43He likes to beat opponents at their own game, doesn't he?
18:46He's utilizing the shining lance-up on several occasions against Kai-Tuk-Kiyomiya on the 1st of January.
18:52In the contest that made him.
18:55He used Keno's Enrin finisher as a feint.
19:02Challenge is tied up now.
19:03Now he's got time for his breakdancing.
19:08No descriptions.
19:09Flares.
19:12Flares after flares.
19:16And there it is.
19:18There's the Kodak moment.
19:20Kenta wrapped up in the bottom rope.
19:23And Ozawa...
19:25Lying the...
19:26Oh, he's going into the nose.
19:28He's going into the nose.
19:30And he's putting it on him.
19:33And the enemy...
19:34He's looking to turn it into his nose.
19:38Sits on his face now.
19:39Just...
19:40Levels of disrespect that Ozawa has.
19:45And he keeps lowering them every single time.
19:48These phrases, sentences and words to it have never been used to the main event in Pro Wrestling Noah before.
19:52Never thought I'd see the day.
19:54Until we put our eyes on this man, Ozawa.
19:57He's just changed the game.
19:58Kenta free from that bottom rope.
20:08Now rolled back over the apron into the ring by the champion.
20:11Ozawa follows up.
20:13Kenta's last singles match here.
20:17There's a win of a Tetsuya Naito in 2020.
20:20The four-met kickboxer first graced this venue all the way back in 2002 in 0-1.
20:25And look at that, he's stealing a move from the playbook of Kenta now.
20:29The game over.
20:33And they are chanting Ozawa again here.
20:36Kenta's got plenty of fight in him though.
20:52He's only trying to drag his way through the bottom rope.
20:58Ozawa.
21:01He's always biting or licking something.
21:03You've got to keep your eyes closely on him.
21:05That SDF, as you see.
21:08Stewart, that was a signature move, of course, from Masahiro Charno.
21:10One, two, three, four.
21:15He's only now just broken sweat.
21:31Yeah, I can just see that.
21:35Kenta back on his feet, launching some brutal elbows into the champion.
21:40Takes a kick through the stomach.
21:43Whipped into the corner.
21:45Gets a boot up.
21:48Kenta follows up, but takes a boot of his own.
21:52Ozawa, scoop slam.
21:53Kenta was the inaugural GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion way back in the day, in his early days, alongside Naomichi Marufuji.
22:11He held that for 690 days.
22:14What a tag team.
22:16One of the greatest of all time.
22:18One of the greatest of all time.
22:21One of the best of all time.
22:26Kenta again with that attack on the top rope there, Tornado.
22:31Onto the neck on the top rope.
22:33We're on the pernmuckle, flying in with the lariat.
22:37Puts up the leg for the one and the two Gonzalo kicks out
22:42This is a good spell for the challenger now KENTER
22:56KENTER looking to invert the champion here now stretch him out
23:01That looks nasty
23:04Tranking it harder now
23:14Stretching all the way up the quadriceps of the left leg of Ozawa
23:22And the midsection now gathers up the second leg
23:25KENTER making things a whole lot worse
23:28He's forcing the champion to go into defence mode
23:31Reaching forward, back comes KENTER dragging the champion back to the centre of the ring on the NOAH logo
23:42A little bit deep into it
23:44The real rebel in real trouble now
23:48A little strength and that just
23:52Presses his way up and drags his way forward but KENTER pulls him back over the NOAH logo
24:03KENTER is in serious jeopardy now
24:09He gets it
24:11Still alive, barely
24:13KENTER is in serious jeopardy now
24:23I believe now in Ozawa's fourth title defence
24:25He's pushing in further than anyone has so far
24:27Exactly what we expected
24:30Man, as we said earlier that went up against the likes of Kobashi and Misawa
24:34One on one
24:36He's pushing Ozawa to a place he's never been before
24:42Oh, he knew that was coming
24:44He stopped the nut shot
24:46KENTER joint manipulation right now
24:50Wrenching the fingers of the champion
24:52Gets popped up
24:54Went down hard there Mark
24:56Really did
24:58Great response there from the champion
25:00Never know what's coming next from Ozawa
25:04It's like he's got a cheat code in some computer game
25:12He can hack into all the moves every top pro wrestler in Japan has ever used
25:19And use them against anyone he feels like
25:21He's off three steps ahead of his opponents
25:24Huge John Woo into the corner
25:31Ozawa going upstairs now
25:34Missile kick from the heavens
25:40KENTER goes tumbling to the opposite side of the ring
25:43And on to the outside
25:45Challenger looked days even before Ozawa connected then
25:48We are 15 minutes into this
25:50That's halfway point in this GHC Heavyweight Championship match
25:54The main event here today
25:56He's got a table out now Ozawa
25:58Shades of that no DQ match you mentioned from Kurok and Hull
26:01KENTER comes back with some big shots
26:06Referee saying that's a foul
26:08Oh KENTER comes back with some big shots
26:14He's got other plans for Ozawa
26:16Smashing his face into the table
26:18KENTER wants to finish things off here
26:34Ozawa though immediately hoists him up onto his shoulders
26:38Runs him through
26:39Runs him through
26:41And Munso
26:42No
26:43Lands on his feet there
26:44SSB
26:46Standing shooting star pressed
26:54Straight off the back of
26:58An unsuccessful Munso
27:00Sensational it just leaves your mouth a gasp
27:02Yeah
27:03Ozawa chants
27:05And then some KENTER chants in the background
27:09KENTER facing out low on that
27:15Trying to stop that huge attack from Ozawa
27:19Ozawa on roller skates but manages to throw a huge elbow
27:25Jesus that one stumbled him back
27:34These are massive shots between champion and challenger now
27:38KENTER has always known such an elite level striker
27:44Former kickboxer
27:48Trading now
27:57We might have to get a stretcher out very soon
28:00Someone could get knocked out
28:12Monstrous shots from both men
28:14KENTER
28:16Both hands now from KENTER the challenger
28:22Knocked him back with that last one
28:24Ozawa looking to follow up now
28:26Ruth
28:28Stopped in his tracks
28:31Back and forward here
28:32Both men looking for their big finish moves
28:34There's a pump kick from KENTER
28:38Oh he gets out of that
28:41Double underhook
28:42Suplex attempt now
28:45Tornado
28:48Ozawa
28:48Oh flying laniard from KENTER
28:50Dropped the champion
28:55That's the KENTER of old right there
28:56It is indeed
28:57Rolling back the years is KENTER
28:59Hitting to become a two-time THE heavyweight champion
29:07Looking to win it 11 years after his first reign ended in 2014
29:15KENTER will likely hit the 2000 match mark in his career this year
29:21Ozawa
29:22Ozawa
29:23This is just his 140th
29:24KENTER
29:25Over 500 singles matches
29:27Ozawa
29:28Just shy of 70
29:29But right now
29:31It means nothing
29:32It's all about
29:33Who has more?
29:34KENTER
29:35Who has more?
29:38KENTER
29:39Follows up with the John Woo into the corner
29:42That will have Ozawa
29:44Seeing in low resolution for days to come
29:47KENTER
29:49KENTER
29:50Stepping things up now
29:54KENTER
29:55KENTER
29:56From the top
29:57Count buckle diving
29:58Double foot stomp
30:00One
30:01Two
30:02To take the belt
30:03But no
30:14This is a fully fired up KENTER
30:16We are witnessing right now
30:21Up back to the shoulders
30:22Ozawa feels it
30:23Tries to elbow his way out
30:25Takes a big shot
30:28And another
30:30Rapid fire
30:31Now on his knees
30:32From KENTER
30:33Referee needs to check on the champion
30:37He could have sparked him out with that one
30:38His eyes are rolling in the back of his head
30:43He's going back to those shots
30:45He didn't move him back
30:47You can win this by stoppage KENTER
30:53Takes a run at that one
30:55Takes a run at that one
30:56That one knocked his jaw sideways
30:58That one knocked his jaw sideways
31:00No defence whatsoever from Ozawa
31:03Breath taking stuff here
31:09Oh he's going to the eyes now
31:12Digging into the eye sockets of KENTER
31:14And now biting him in the neck
31:15Oh no
31:16He just looked behind him there
31:29That's what it is
31:31Is he going to launch KENTER over this top rope with a brain buster?
31:35Surely not
31:36He's trying
31:41TENTER replies in kind with a bite of his own to the neck of the champion
31:51Muscle boot sends him onto the table
31:58How many tables has Ozawa broken since New Years Day this year Mark?
32:02There was one yesterday, one today
32:05There was Kurok and Hall as well
32:06But he said he enjoys it
32:07He likes the feeling
32:08He embraces the pain
32:09He feels alive in these moments
32:15Fistful of hair, KENTER
32:17Sends him over the apron back into the ring
32:19We are still on
32:25Taking a run
32:27Flying knee
32:29One
32:30Two
32:31Is that what kicks out?
32:33Finish!
32:40Up onto the shoulders
32:42Looking for that finish
32:43Goal!
32:44To
32:45Sleep!
32:46KENTER
32:47Can he steal the GHC Heavyweight belt here?
32:50Oh!
32:52Team 2006
32:54Dagger and Jack Morris
32:55Drag the referee out of the ring
32:59Here's Morris and Dagger attacking the challenger KENTER now
33:03Where's Manabu Sawyer when you need him?
33:05We need an equaliser
33:08Oh here we go KENTER
33:09KENO
33:11And Oka Sasaki
33:13Who just
33:14Won the belts from Dagger and Jack Morris
33:17In to save KENTER
33:20Now remember KENTER saved KENO on January the 2nd
33:23That's right
33:29Oh dear
33:31That was not supposed to happen
33:32Super kick from Dagger
33:33Dagger
33:35Dying kick
33:37Oh there's a pump kick from Morris
33:39Oh my god
33:40His shoe just went 30 feet up into the air
33:43Now it's amazing like you Stuart
33:51Bedlam
33:53Mayhem
33:55Chaos
33:56Just when KENTER had it won as well after the go to sleep
34:05Team 2000X pulled at the referee
34:10Now firmly chants of KENTER
34:12There's still plenty of Ozawa fans here but
34:15We are hearing chants of KENTER
34:18The referee finally back into the ring
34:20After being dragged out by Dagger
34:22Crowd is tired of the Team 2000X comfoolery for me
34:24They meet in the middle
34:30They meet in the middle
34:32Oh!
34:33That was a bicycle knee from the champion
34:40Both men down face up
34:43Champion and challenger alike
34:45What an incredible, what a phenomenal champion this man is
34:57Ozawa with a smile
34:59What a smile
35:03Husayku knee
35:04Yeah, second one
35:05He's used it against KENTER
35:07One
35:08Two
35:10KENTER gets his shoulder up
35:12That'll be the ultimate statement for Ozawa
35:15He could conquer KENTER with his own move
35:18Don't move
35:23Husayku means ugly
35:25For anyone needing a translation there
35:28The Husayku knee
35:30Of KENTER being used against him by
35:34Ozawa
35:35Countdown to go to sleep
35:37Countdown to go to sleep
35:40Looking for that pinfall
35:42So very close
35:4425 minutes in
35:49Take over the buzzsaw kick
35:50Left hand side
35:51Right hand side
35:52Right hand side
35:58Big
35:59Bend
36:00Edge
36:02Still not enough
36:08Now the champion's got something to think about
36:10He's pulled out all the stops
36:12The crowd here at Ryogoku Kokugikan going
36:16Absolutely wild out of their minds
36:18At this display
36:20As the champion licks the challenger
36:25Drop kick
36:30One
36:31Two
36:32To retain the belt
36:33No!
36:35It's a half-hearted cover from the champion
36:38That could be his undoing
36:39He gets too nonchalant sometimes Mark
36:41Yeah, he does indeed
36:43Too cocky
36:45But it's the cockiness that we love about it
36:47It is indeed
36:50Yeah!
36:56Real rebel
36:59To retain here today
37:01Ozawa
37:02Makes his successful fourth title defense
37:06KENTER unable to topple him
37:08SOTA
37:10OTA
37:11B4
37:12In the history books
37:13By Ozawa
37:14Oh
37:18Honour that he managed to just stop
37:23B4
37:24In the history books
37:25By Ozawa
