The G1 Climax was held in the second round.
It was the match between Hashimoto and Tenryu.
It was the first ever J-1 match in the Osaka Dome.
I'm sure you've all heard of J-1.
The first king of the Rikidōzan Belt was Tenryu Genichiro.
The first defense match was against Miyan Wajita.
Hashimoto won the match with Tenryu's glasses.
Now, let's see how the match goes beyond G1.
Will Hashimoto take the J-1 belt?
It's the Summer Jin of Osaka.
He's taking it to the Dome.
Your technique is pretty good today, Tenryu.
It's a bit heavy, but...
Tenryu has a lot of persuasive power.
That's what I'm talking about.
Is it another Enzui?
Another Enzui!
Tenryu is determined to take the J-1 belt to the Dome.
In January of this year, Tenryu Genichiro took the J-1 belt to the Dome.
In February of this year, Tenryu Genichiro took the W.A.R. to the Dome and became a freelance.
In a way, he's got a lot of power.
Tenryu Genichiro has to fight.
He's got the Elbow on the back.
Hashimoto is going for the top rope.
He's got the 135kg in the back.
Here it comes.
He's got the Elbow on the back.
The Elbow.
Both have a good fight.
They're both very proud.
They have a lot of respect for each other.
This is the best of the best.
Tenryu got this.
He got this, and it's a two point one.
And he's got the Elbow!
He's got the Elbow on the back.
Great.
That's good.
Can he take the J-1 title?
He can take the J-1 title?
Can he take the J-1 title?
He can take the J-1 title?
Hashimoto took on Kazairu.
This summer, the second time in a row, this match is a tie!
It's a tie.
Shibata-san, J-1...
No, G-1, right?
They were here a while ago, so...
I wonder what the meaning of today's match is.
But something new is happening.
They're getting into the ring.
I see.
It's a tie.
It's a tie!
Look at that!
Tenryuu's been knocked down!
He's gone!
Tenryuu's coming back!
Now it's a tie.
They focused on a match to get out.
Well, but that's only ten minutes away from it.
If the inside is Dark läuftro, they just don't want it.
Look at that.
Of course.
That's what being cool for them.
It's a tie!

This is going to be a big spurt.
Hashimoto!
Why did he make that decision?
He's making a breakthrough!
He's jumping and doing a shoulder attack!
He got hit by Moro!
Moro got hit by Moro!
But Tenryu is also...
Tenryu is attacking!
This is a powerbomb!
Powerbomb!
It's a powerbomb!
The powerbomb is in position!
It's over!
It's a countermeasure!
Was he aiming for that?
Or was it a super airdrop?
Tenryu's career has been going on for a long time.
He's been doing well for a long time.
I'm impressed.
The last day of my life.
Tenryu...
He's a man.
Tenryu...
He's a great man.
In just one week, I can say that I did a great job.
It's a great victory.
But I won't give up.
Like Ryogoku, if you're defeated, you have to get back on your feet.
It was a fierce fight.
I think Hashimoto was more difficult than I was.
He had to get through the last three days and win the title.
He had to put pressure on himself, and he only had one week to do so.
And I was told that I couldn't run away from him.
I think it was hard for me to accept that.
At the end of the day, I just felt like I couldn't beat him.
I don't think Hashimoto is in a bad shape.
I don't think he's tired at all.
But he's still in a bad shape.
So, I think I've learned a lot today.
That's why I was able to get through the last three days and win the title.
But I don't think that's the same as before.
I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't done that.
But I was able to get through the last three days and win the title.
I think Hashimoto is a manly man.
