00:00C'est parti !
00:30You never want to say Kushid is a reclamation project, but...
00:34Man, he rebuilt the house really quickly.
00:39Confidence from capturing the ring on a world television title
00:43and then starting to have some success at best of the Super 2 years tournament.
00:47And a brand new finisher.
00:58He propelled him to that historical, magical moment
01:05when he and Will Ospreay did battle five stars.
01:09It was incredible.
01:25But are there doubts still lingering in his mind?
01:29He says the right things. His body language is right.
01:34His training, everything is ready.
01:37But in the back of Kushida's mind, is he still haunted?
01:43By 116 seconds.
01:48Bell to bell, that's all it took for Hiromu Takahashi
01:51to beat Kushida the last time they faced.
01:54The best of the Super 2 years,
01:56the best of the Super 2 years,
01:57the best of the Super 2 years,
01:58the best of the Super 2 years,
01:59the best of the Super 2 years,
02:00the best of the Super 2 years,
02:02is KUSHIDAAA!

11:52Now for the shoulder's time bomb. Thrust kick blocked by Kushida.
12:04To the eyes.
12:19Oh, look out.
12:21Sunset bomb.
12:25Ray Towner.
12:26Look at the crossbar breaker.
12:28He can't win.
12:30Why is the ref making a break it?
12:32Because you can't do it underneath the ropes.
12:36Could have broken the arm of a run with Takahashi.
12:39I'm sure that was the goal.
12:42And you have to wonder.
12:45Eight days removed from Kushida's let's go crazy moment with Will Ospreay.
12:51How much was taken out of him in that?
12:53What is this now?
12:59Listen to the people.
13:00Shades of Sabu, I think.
13:02They are.
13:12Oh, Kushida got that one chair positioned on one side of the barricade.
13:17And you see her almost seated in the other.
13:19What in the world is Kushida thinking about?
13:22Oh, my goodness.
13:35Fans were booing thinking that Kushida might be using those chairs to swing at Aroma.
13:40But instead uses his own body to fly through the air and score.
13:44I saw Sabu use the chair that way a hundred times BCW.
13:49But never, I don't think, to that effect.
13:51Look at that.
13:52Right through the barricade.
13:53The distance that he traveled.
13:57And connected to high risk.
13:58Such small margin for error.
14:01As now Kushida rolls the champion back in.
14:04And just a minute ago we were talking about how Hiroto was dominating this match.
14:11To the arm.
14:12Watch out.
14:14Marty.
14:16As Kushida's starting to do some work.
14:21Setting him up for that hoverboard walk.
14:25Mention that MMA background.
14:27He's going to look to submit a roll room tonight.
14:33He also has, in his hip pocket, the back to the future.
14:38The small package driver.
14:40That's a brutal move.
14:43Pulling the left arm.
14:44Reversal.
14:45Handspring.
14:46Oh, dead with German.
14:48Oh, he dropped it right on the back of his neck.
14:49Caught him in midair.
14:51And was able to drive Kushida down.
14:54Right on the seat too.
14:55That's a, that is a dangerous maneuver.
15:02And just like that momentum changes again.
15:12So, Noromu Takahashi, who came in to New Japan Pro Wrestling right here in Osaka in November and made a
15:20statement.
15:22The punctuation mark on that sentence at Wrestle Kingdom.
15:26But then wrote chapter and verse with domination on Kushida in their last encounter.
15:35Time bomb.
15:39Two and he kicks out.
15:44A version of time bomb a little different.
15:51A lot he was going for the finisher.
15:53Didn't do it there.
15:54Kushida was able to kick out.
15:55But Kushida taking more punishment.
15:57This has just been a war of attrition.
16:01These two are so evenly matched and have each other so well scouted.
16:09The death valley driver now to the second rope and struggling to get to the top rope.
16:14Kushida rolls away.
16:16Both heels to the head.
16:24Takahashi is still perched on the top.
16:26Kushida is going to change that.
16:30Got that arm bar.
16:31Wait.
16:33Wow, what a counter.
16:34Look out.
16:36Going to hook the hoverboard.
16:41He's got that arm key locked.
16:43Got him.
16:45Referee Marty Asami is going to have to call a break.
16:48Did he submit him up there?
16:50Technically no.
16:51But he drives him from the top.
16:53Oh, there goes the arm.
16:55That arm is done.
16:56That arm is done.
16:58Is he tapping?
17:02People can taste it.
17:05Is it almost five times?
17:07Wait a minute.
17:08Pulls it back through.
17:09Back to the future.
17:11No.
17:23Again.
17:26Hook.
17:27Hooked again.
17:29Hiromu stays vertical.
17:32That's what he needs to do.
17:36Screaming in agony.
17:38You see Hiromu trying to prevent his arm from going back and do it no more.
17:54Here comes Kushida.
17:56Here comes Kushida.
17:57Hiromu there and turn him inside out.
17:58Desperation lariat by Hiromu Takahaki.
18:09Title defenses for Hiromu include Dragon Lee, Riosuke Taguchi, Ricochet, and of course Kushida.
18:21But along the way, Kushida winning best of the Super Juniors has earned the title opportunity here at Dominion.
18:36Might have a stoppage here.
18:43Eyes are open.
18:45Doesn't mean he can continue though.
18:54They have been waiting for Hiromu to step towards him to deliver that kick.
19:00Oh.
19:01Dangerous here.
19:03Oh.
19:04Sunset bomb of his own.
19:10We saw Kushida use those stomps.
19:13Those Danielson stomps against Ospreay.
19:16I'm surprised he can hold on with the damage that's been done to that arm.
19:23Wide open.
19:24No.
19:26First kick.
19:29Yeah.
19:31Sunset bomb.
19:33Oh no.
19:34His head bounced off the floor.
19:40Kushida.
19:42Sunset bombed off the ring to the floor.
19:45We are going to get another look.
19:47Look at this.
19:47You'll see his head bounce when he lands.
19:52Oh.
19:59Couldn't hang on to that second rope.
20:03Those ropes get split this late in a match.
20:10A smile.
20:11Look at that smile on the face of the ticking time bomb.
20:14He can taste it.
20:17And I wonder if he'd be happy with a count out in this situation.
20:20I think he wants to embarrass Kushida.
20:24Seven.
20:26Eight.
20:28No, he doesn't.
20:30Don just the opposite.
20:31Big mistake in my view.
20:32He wants to beat him in the middle.
20:36A win is a win, Kevin.
20:38This is personal though.
20:44Oh, Kushida is glassy-eyed.
20:50He is out and there will be no stopping him here as he jams him into the corner.
20:55Hiromu Takahashi.
20:57Hiromu Takahashi.
20:57A time bomb away from the three count and another successful title defense.
21:01People can feel it.
21:03Every seat sold here at Osaka Joe Hall, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion getting set for another successful title defense.
21:13Time bomb.
21:13No.
21:14Countered.
21:15Shoulders.
21:16Down two.
21:17Whoa!
21:19Didn't have that weight distributed enough to keep it down.
21:25Somehow Kushida able to react on instinct.
21:40Like a fighter, Kushida took a heavy punch, got dropped, and it's rubber-legged, trying to get his wits about
21:48him.
21:48But Hiromu's not going to stop.
21:57Look around that arm as the camera swings around.
22:03Oh, my.
22:04Watch out.
22:05Back to the future.
22:07From the second rope.
22:08No.
22:09Super back to the future.
22:10Didn't hold onto it.
22:29That took almost as much out of Kushida.
22:35Kushida giving some words back to the referee.
22:42This crowd is coming alive, and they are seeing a classic.
22:46Two.
22:47Three.
22:48Three.
22:49Four.
22:51Eight.
22:52Six.
22:55Seven.
22:57Eight.
22:59Eight.
23:01Shoes up.
23:02Back to break the count.
23:16This is how this matchup started.
23:19But you can see the toll that the battle has taken.
23:31Especially for Hiromu Don.
23:36Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
23:46Cushida a l'air un peu plus sur les strikes.
23:53Oh, le answer to the Masahiro, Tanaka.
23:57Oh, il est est.
24:03Le bas est-il, il est-il, il est-il, c'est-il, c'est-il, c'est-il.

25:26What a story for that young man the last month
25:31And the 77th IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion
25:38One for the thumb, five time down
25:41Congratulations to Kushida
25:48Game loss may be the worst two months of his career to win the Super J
25:53And now the ultimate revenge against Hiromu Takahashi
26:01Takahashi might have a broken arm or wrist or both
26:09Now Tushin Thunder Liger who was there
26:12And came up and hugged Kushida and congratulated him after he was victorious and best of the Super Juniors
26:32That's two times now, Kushida has won Best of the Super Juniors and won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship in
26:42the title match that he's earned. Congratulations.
26:47Well I think it's fair to say that Kushida is back and then some
26:53What a story, a story of retribution
27:03Disappointment now setting in for Hiromu Takahashi
27:07Whose first reign as Junior Heavyweight Champion has come to an end
27:12There will be more, no doubt about it
27:29He wants one more, he wants another match
27:32I'd sign up for that
27:36I'd love to see a rematch between Hiromu and Kushida
27:49What a war!
27:53Are you limber? Are you stretched?
27:55Thank you so much.
27:56Kushida is going to make us get up.
27:58Thank you so much.
28:01We're running 1,000,000 and we're running the wave.
28:06We're starting with WAVE.
28:07Can you help us?
28:12Please do it.
28:14Well...
28:16Business first.
28:18Let's start from the top of the corner of the花道
28:19Nous allons commencer par le tournoi de l'écran.
28:27Alors, on va nous faire le countdown.
28:343, 2, 1...
28:37Allez-y !
28:42Il a demandé un wave.
28:44C'est comme le Yogi.
28:46C'est bon.
28:48On est plus vite.
28:49On est plus vite.
28:50On est plus vite.
28:51On est plus vite.
28:54Over 12,000 ici à Osaka-Joh.
28:57Oh, wait a minute.
28:59I didn't even see him.
29:00What the hell?
29:01Boushi.
29:02Boushi.
29:03Boushi.
29:03C'est pas trop.
29:06C'est pas trop.
29:08C'est pas trop.
29:08C'est pas trop.
29:12Oh, je suis dit…
29:17Mais c'est bon.
29:20Boushi.
29:23Cauche.
29:26Boushi a had a big win earlier tonight
29:29And I think the gauntlet has been dropped
29:32On Kushida
29:33Take a look because
29:35I'm watching the wave and you can see it
29:38This stuff really stinks too
29:40God, I can't even smell it
29:42The toxic green mist sprayed from Boushi
29:45Into the eyes and face of Kushida
29:48So Hiromu says one more
29:50And Kushida makes a point here at Dominion
29:53It looks like Kushida's plate is going to be full
29:56As far as junior heavyweight championship challengers
