NEW JAPAN ON AXS TV REPORT

By James Kurokawa on 2022-11-03 23:02:00

Welcome to the New Japan on AXS TV report!

This week's action is from the 10/10 Declaration of Power event from Ryogoku Kokugikan in Japan.

IWGP World Heavyweight Championship:  Tama Tonga, with Jado vs. Jay White, with Gedo

This was a back and forth battle.  Tons of near falls.  Both men kick out each other's finishers.  Tama goes for a Gun Stun.   White pushes him off and Tama climbs the ropes for a second rope Gun Stun.  White blocks it and hits a Bladerunner.

White pins Tama.

Jay White retains the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

Jay White takes the mic and tells Tama that he wants to thank him.   He tells Tama that he learned how lead to become the World Champion.   He said Tama deserved this, as he held up the title.   But he said life is not fair.  Any other time, Tama could have been the World Champion, and he embodies what a Champion is for this company.  But it is not any other time.  He said that it is my time.   He says all his catch phrases until  Kazuchika Okada comes ringside.

Okada takes the mic and he pays tribute to Antonio Inoki.  He tells Jay White the question is who will  lead New Japan into the next 50 years.   Okada declares he will challenge White for the IWGP World Title at Wrestle Kingdom.

Jay White takes the mic back and says everyone must breathe with the Switchblade because it is still his Era.
