12:30pour l'IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match
12:33compared to the chase Gotoh had
12:36for the IWGP World Heavyweight title
12:38throughout the years.
12:39He chased it up until the victory
12:41to his dark run in the MMA ranks
12:44did Yuji Naga.
12:45Yeah, absolutely.
12:46Certainly he was put in a position.
12:49Oh, and yeah, well, Gotoh's seen the take,
12:51the wrap-up, and I got his leg,
12:53and that's what he's targeting as he should.
12:56Look, I mean...
12:59It was, I mean, different times.
13:02There was a boom in mixed martial arts here in Japan,
13:05a huge one.
13:07And the thinking at the time
13:09was that threatened the popularity
13:10of professional wrestling,
13:12and the best way to deal with that
13:14was to show professional wrestlers strength
13:17in the MMA ranks.
13:18And I think, you know,
13:19there was all sorts of different situations
13:21of putting Nagata in there with Pro Cop.
13:23And, you know, I mean, that was...
13:25I mean, you could say a situation,
13:27and I think most people would say
13:29that definitely hurt Yuji Nagata.
13:31And Nagata wanted that fight.
13:32You know, he was the one that stepped up,
13:34put his hand up.
13:35Rocky Romero told that story.
13:36You know, he was the one that wanted
13:38to show his worth,
13:39even though he was keeping
13:41a full-time pro wrestling schedule
13:42and having to go into a fight camp
13:44to fight Pro Cop for Friday night.
13:47You know?
13:50You know, it was a designation of the times
13:53whenever Yuji Nagata reigned
13:54as IWGP heavyweight champion,
13:57one of the reigns that he has, of course,
13:58had throughout.
14:01You hit on something earlier
14:03I'd like you to expand a little bit further
14:04upon, this idea that Nagata
14:06was indeed heavyweight champion
14:08at a very low point
14:09for our sport here in New Japan.
14:10Yeah, I mean, you're seeing there
14:122002, 2003,
14:14a lot of situations where
14:16things were turning
14:18in a bad direction.
14:20There would be some times where
14:21you would pop a house here or there.
14:24You know, but things were,
14:25the arrows were pointing down.
14:28And, you know, and I think
14:29I brought this up in the pre-game show,
14:31the best Western comparison
14:33would be someone like
14:34Bret the Hitman Hart.
14:35You know, someone who is,
14:37they have a very similar wrestling philosophy,
14:39I would tend to think,
14:40and you would definitely say
14:41two of the best to do it
14:42of all time.
14:43But having that validation,
14:45yeah, from the broader audience,
14:47oh, yeah, you were on top.
14:48Now, how can you say
14:49you were the best of all time
14:50when the business was down?
14:51And that's things people
14:53still say about Bret Hart
14:54to this day.
14:54Sure, yeah, that comparison,
14:56Bret Hart, 1995, WWF,
14:58and to Eugene Nagata,
14:592002, with the IWGP
15:01heavyweight championship.
15:04six years down that line,
15:06of course,
15:07Eugene Nagata and Hiroki Goto
15:08would have their first singles matchup,
15:102008.
15:12And that long-standing history
15:14Hiroki Goto has
15:15of the seven victories
15:17in their 11 singles encounters,
15:20well, it was not always that way, Chris.
15:23Yeah, exactly.
15:24So the last three of those seven
15:25belonged to Goto.
15:27Magic screw there.
15:29No, I mean,
15:30Nagata was guarding the gate
15:32that he was keeping the gate
15:34that Hiroki Goto
15:35was trying to break him.
15:36Yes.
15:36And, you know,
15:37and Goto failed
15:39on those occasions.
15:41Even deeper than that,
15:43Nagata serving as the senior.
15:46Hiroki Goto,
15:46the apprentice underneath
15:47Yuji Nagata
15:48as his time in the no-kidonjo.
15:50Goto was ringside
15:51in Nagata's corner
15:53for those 10 title defenses
15:55in 2002, 2003.
15:57He was working
15:58as Yuji Nagata's assistant,
16:00cleaning his gear,
16:02you know,
16:02packing his bags.
16:08The exploder of justice.
16:10Combination offense
16:11for Nagata
16:12finds a cover attempt,
16:13but not enough.
16:24We always dream
16:25of surpassing those
16:26that have come before us,
16:28no matter your role
16:28in this sport,
16:29especially that
16:30as an in-ring competitor.
16:32of course.
16:34Hiroki Goto,
16:35when we talk about
16:36chasing validation,
16:37does he feel
16:38he surpassed Nagata
16:39even if he's beat him
16:40multiple times on occasion?
16:42Oh, well,
16:42certainly chased down
16:44Nagata there,
16:44follow-follow with Elaria.
16:46A little bit of a step ahead now.
17:04Iroki Goto
17:05now follows in.
17:07Classic.
17:08Butamasa in the corner,
17:09follows up.
17:10You know it.
17:10You've seen it.
17:11Back suplex drives Nagata out.
17:13Cover one more,
17:14and it is not the time
17:17to celebrate just yet.
17:21As he said,
17:23Nagata's son,
17:23Yusek,
17:24watching from the corner.
17:27You know what I mean?
17:30Look out.
17:31Put the brakes on
17:32essentially Ushigurashi there.
17:41The last time Nagata
17:43had his son with it,
17:44was back in 2015
17:46when Nagata challenged
17:47Shinsuke Nakamura
17:48for the Intercontinental title.
17:54The young man
17:55left in tears
17:56that night.
17:57Wally tonight.
17:58Reverse GTR
17:59finds it.
18:00Oh, look out.
18:02Can it?
18:03Oh, listen to the bad walker.
18:17Shino Man.
18:21Shino Man.
18:26Shino Man.

29:01Il y a eu qui l'hided avec une champion pêle de Goutou Hiroki.
29:25C'est parti.
30:05Fujin Akana has shown us all tonight and reminded Hiroki Goto indirectly that it is not your age that defines
30:14you in this sport. It is your spirit.
30:18You see the spirit passes down through the generations of father to son.
30:26You see that man Yusei Nagata, 15 years old, national junior high school wrestling champion, under 15 all Asian bronze
30:38medalist.
30:39But there might be one day when Nagata Lion continuing in New Japan pro wrestling yet. Time will tell. And
30:47that's for that young man to decide himself.
30:52But the spirit of the fight is eternal.
30:56You saw every bit of it here tonight.
