8. Prince Devitt beat Hiroshi Tanahashi (15:33) with the Bloody Sunday.
9. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) beat Togi Makabe (25:04) with the Rainmaker (2nd defense).

* “Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada retained his IWGP Heavyweight Title against Togi Makabe before a packed house in Osaka tonight. In an exciting match, Okada overcame a really tough challenge from the former champion and after spiking Makabe with a tombstone piledriver, finished him off with the Rainmaker to conclude a 25 minute war. Okada was immediately challenged by Bullet Club leader Prince Devitt who is set for his first ever shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Title after picking up the biggest win of his career in the semi final. Devitt, the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and Best of the Super Jr. winner, has completely dominated and conquered the junior division so facing Tanahashi, the face of the company, was a real test of his credentials in the heavyweight division. Unlike most of his junior matches, Devitt couldn’t beat Tanahashi without help but did beat him after help from Anderson and Fale, a second Bloody Sunday getting the job done and securing a momentous victory for the Irishman. Okada vs. Devitt looks set to happen at the pre-G1 big show on 7/20 and will determine who enters pro wrestling’s biggest tournament as IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Okada “reverse” challenged Devitt asking that Gedo get a shot at his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title.

* After their double KO last month, former university friends Hirooki Goto and Katsuyori Shibata went at it again in a match that has people raving. In an intense stiff war that saw them trade vicious headbutts, Shibata weakened Goto with a sleeper hold before landing a PK for the big win. Shibata’s Laughter7 tag partner Kazushi Sakuraba announced on the show that he will a return from injury on 7/20 and challenged Nagata to a singles match!

* Tetsuya Naito returned from a very long injury absence against the man who put him on the shelf, former NO LIMIT tag partner Yujiro Takahashi. This was a difficult return match for Naito which Yujiro largely dominated, but Naito’s fighting spirit saw him come back and win with a Stardust press. Much will be expected of Naito in the coming months.

* The NWA Invasion continued with Rob Conway’s second NWA World Heavyweight Title defense on a New Japan show. After defeating Kojima earlier this year he today faced another third generation veteran, Manabu Nakanishi. Conway defeated Nakanishi with his Ego Trip (elevated DDT) and New Japan has still yet to throw anyone at him who can bring the historic NWA World Heavyweight Title to the company.

* The IWGP Tag Team Title was again contested by multiple teams as Tenzan & Kojima (IWGP Tag Team Champions) made a successful V1 defense of their belts against Yano & Iizuka (GHC Tag Team Champions) and the Killer Elite Squad (NWA World Tag Team Champions). Archer & Smith Jr., who were very unlucky to lose the belts last month in a 4WAY Match as neither was pinned, had the match won but the referee was knocked out. TenKoji took advantage of this, Kojima nailing Archer with a lariat for the win. Yano did what Yano does and stole the belts after the match.

* The TIME SPLITTERS vs. Forever Hooligan series continued with yet another addition to this entertaining if slightly overdone series. Having won the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title back last month, Romero & Koslov were able to prevent another title switch as they successfully defended the belts against KUSHIDA & Shelley with Rocky pinning KUSHIDA.

Suzuki threw Nagata over the top rope (19:43). Suzuki used a Gotch-style piledriver on Nagata (23:08).
5. IWGP Tag Team Title: Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima (c) beat Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson (17:47) when Kojima used a lariat on Bernard (1st defense).
6. IWGP Intercontinental Title: Hirooki Goto beat Masato Tanaka (c) (13:26) with the Shouten Kai to become the 3rd champion.
7. Special Singles Match: Tetsuya Naito beat Shinsuke Nakamura (17:38) with a Stardust press.
8. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Kazuchika Okada beat Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) (23:22) with the Rainmaker to become the 57th champion.

* The foundations of the Japanese pro wrestling industry have been shaken to the core after 24-year-old Kazuchika Okada ended the epic IWGP Heavyweight Title reign of Hiroshi Tanahashi today at a sold out Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium. The scenario has been repeated a hundred times – young upstart returns from abroad to challenge the ace, fights bravely, before falling. But he didn’t fall! In a stunning outcome, Okada downed Tanahashi with his Rainmaker to end a 1 year, 1 month record-breaking reign and in doing so stunned New Japan fans worldwide. Few realized the show title “THE NEW BEGINNING” could be so literal and this wasn’t the only result that surprised people as Okada’s next challenger also pulled off a huge win…

* Tetsuya Naito, so often on the losing end in his feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, finally showed the results of his growth as a pro wrestler by beating the CHAOS leader today with his Stardust press. After defeating Nakamura and after Okada’s title win, Naito headed to the ring and challenged the new IWGP Heavyweight Champion to a match on New Japan’s 40th anniversary Korakuen Hall show on March 4th. And so on the day when the two men who brought New Japan out of the dark, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura, were beaten by two fast rising stars, a whole new generation announced its arrival in the biggest way possible.

* A man who has also been in Tanahashi and Nakamura’s shadow for so long, Hirooki Goto, also took a step forward on a tumultuous day by defeating Masato Tanaka to become the IWGP Intercontinental Champion. This long and competitive feud continued with Goto scoring a major victory for his career as it gives him the first heavyweight title of his career. Yujiro challenged him to a title match afterwards.

* On a day dominated by young generations, the revived and rejuvenated legendary tag team TenKoji also starred by making a successful V1 defense of their IWGP Tag Team Title against the team whose record-breaking reign they ended at the Tokyo Dome, Bad Intentions. Kojima sunk Bernard with his lariat to ensure he and Tenzan held on to the prestigious belts.

* Three of four titles changed hands today and the first saw the “No Remorse Corps” Davey Richards & Rocky Romero win back the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title from “Apollo 55″ Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi in the champions’ first defense since beating the gaijin tandem to regain them at the Tokyo Dome. This see-saw feud continued and may yet see more matches, but today’s came to a climax when Richards powerbombed Taguchi to make No Remorse the 31st champions.

4. G1 Climax – Block B: Minoru Suzuki [8] beat La Sombra [4] (9:32) with a Gotch-style piledriver.
5. Lance Archer & TAKA Michinoku beat Tetsuya Naito & Tomoaki Honma (9:14) when Archer used the Dark Days on Honma.
6. G1 Climax – Block B: Shinsuke Nakamura [8] beat Strong Man [0] (6:56) with the Boma Ye.
7. G1 Climax – Block B: Hirooki Goto [8] beat Karl Anderson [4] (10:56) with the Shouten Kai.
8. G1 Climax – Block A: Giant Bernard [8] beat Yuji Nagata [6] (10:00) with the Bernard Driver.
9. G1 Climax – Block B: Satoshi Kojima [4] beat MVP [4] (11:26) with a lariat.
10. G1 Climax – Block A: Hiroshi Tanahashi [6] beat Togi Makabe [6] (18:46) with the High Fly Flow.

* Tanahashi picks up a crucial win over rival Makabe to ensure he keeps up with the pace, hitting 6pts with three other big names including Makabe himself. This was said to have been a very hot match that had the Osaka fans stamping their feet in appreciation.
* Kojima defeats sworn friend MVP in an equally crucial win although he and MVP both remain 4pts or two wins behind the leaders of Block B.
* Giant Bernard takes the lead in Block A with a big win over one of the four men behind him, Nagata. Bernard’s impressive G1 campaign continues a big year for the gaijin ace.
* Goto, Nakamura, and Suzuki all hit 8pts and pulled away a little in Block B with wins over Anderson, Strong Man, and La Sombra respectively. Like last year, Strong Man has started very poorly with a 0-4 record.
* Hiroyoshi Tenzan, who has also struggled in a tournament he dominated so much for a while in the 2000s that he was nicknamed the new “Mr. G1″, finally broke his duck by beating Wataru Inoue.
* After a high impact return recently, Hideo Saito’s G1 Climax has been a large failure and shown he is still a distance behind the big players of New Japan. Saito/Hirasawa seems to be having an identity crisis, appearing in different outfits. His crushing loss to Takayama today means he has no points and a 0-5 record.

9. Double Title Match – IWGP Tag Team Title & GHC Tag Team Title: Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson (c) beat Yoshihiro Takayama & Takuma Sano (c) (12:03) when Bernard used the Bernard Driver on Sano (8th defense) to become the 22nd GHC Tag Team Champions.
10. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) beat Hirooki Goto (25:28) with the High Fly Flow (5th defense).

* A packed house of 6,200 fans saw another great show by New Japan in the hotbed known as Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium.
* TNA Wrestling’s Brian Kendrick, who became popular in Japan earlier in the 2000s as Spanky in ZERO-ONE, made a surprise appearance in the second match in the place of Killer Rabbit, teaming with Jado & Gedo.
* Taguchi’s half year reign as CMLL World Welterweight Champion ended at the hands of the man he won it from, Mascara Dorada, the Funky Weapon failing in his V3 defense of the belt.
* AKIRA returned to his old haunt after the fourth match to continue his feud with former JJ Jacks tag partner Iizuka from TAJIRI’s SMASH promotion. After the same match, Mitsuhide Hirasawa made his long awaited return to Japan, surprisingly betraying his Blue Justice mentor Nagata and possibly (awaiting confirmaiton) joining CHAOS!
* Yujiro drew first blood in what is likely to be a lengthy grudge feud with former NO LIMIT partner Naito, and Naito was gang attacked after the match before Honma made the save.
* Best of the Super Jr. winner, Kota Ibushi, ended Prince Devitt’s one year reign as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion in an emotional match. After several high profile losses to Devitt, including the 2010 BOSJ final and a title match at this year’s Tokyo Dome show, Ibushi finally rose to the peak of the junior scene to capture the prestigious IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. Although Devitt’s memorable reign came to an end on the same day his close friend Taguchi also dropped gold, Apollo 55 do still hold the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title remember.
* MVP retained the newly founded IWGP Intercontinental Title in a rematch of the tournament final where he won it, pinning Toru Yano with a cradle for a successful V1 defense.
* Bad Intentions made history twice over with one three count, smashing Chono & Tenzan’s IWGP Tag Team Title defense record while at the same time taking the GHC Tag Team Title from NOAH to become double champions. Bernard & Anderson cement themselves as one of the most dominant teams in Japanese tag wrestling history.
* Tanahashi retained the IWGP Heavyweight Title over Goto in what is being called an epic match. Goto came closer than ever to winning the title that has eluded him so far but disappointingly still wasn’t able to surpass Tanahashi and the wait continues. The two shook hands out of respect after the match, despite their recent bitter. After making history in the match beforehand, Giant Bernard appeared after the match and challenged Tanahashi! Tanahashi counter-challenged Bernard for a shot at the tag belts, with Goto as his partner. If the singles match is realized, Bernard has the chance to become a 3-crown champion.

8. G1 Climax - Block B: Hirooki Goto [2] beat Shinsuke Nakamura [0] (16:51) with a foot-arrangement cradle.

* Makabe and Nakamura, two potential favourites to win the tournament, have both had disasterous starts, with losses on days one and two. Both fell to close rivals today. For Nakamura, this start is the opposite of last year where he stormed through the entire tournament before losing to Makabe in the final.
* Tanahashi made sure he wasn’t in the same boat by pinning Strong Man, who has also started badly.
* Devitt, Bernard, and Shiozaki continued their promising starts by picking up their second wins on the trot.

2009 is turning out to be a year of many big shows for New Japan but this is a surprising one. We know New Japan is running Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium #2 (1,500 seats) twice on the upcoming April tour and then the main Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium (6,500 seats) twice in the G1 Climax. Well, adding today is ANOTHER show at the main Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium between the double headers. New Japan officially announced “DOMINION 6.20″ for June 20th today, taking place about a week after the Super Jr. tour ends. Expect more big matches at this event including possibly Team 3D (if they don’t lose the belts in TNA before then) vs. the winners of TenKoji vs. Bernard & Anderson for the IWGP Tag Team Title.

–> “CIRCUIT 2008 NEW JAPAN ALIVE” <--
Hiroshi Tanahashi today completed the rare feat of a "perfect tour" - that is, not only winning every match, but scoring the pin or submission in all of them. He faced another old rival today in the form of Togi Makabe and bled heavily en route to a heroic victory. IWGP Heavyweight Champion Keiji Muto, ahead of his V4 defense against Tanahashi, watched and confronted his former disciple after the match, Tanahashi’s form likely to present a great challenge for the legend at the Tokyo Dome. Shinsuke Nakamura downed the other half of the IWGP Tag Team Champions by avenging his upset G1 loss to generation rival Toru Yano, unbanning his highly dangerous double-arm piledriver for the win. With some similarities to Mitsuharu Misawa’s Tiger Driver ‘91 and being the move that defeated Misawa’s greatest rival Toshiaki Kawada in the G1, perhaps this was a message from Shinsuke, who again called out the NOAH president today. Hirooki Goto, Nakamura’s tag partner and the man likely to battle a NOAH tandem with him on 1/4, was unable to avenge his October loss to foreign ace Giant Bernard today, losing his second successive singles match to the American. Though Goto has really been unable to follow up on his G1 win with much, this is all vital experience for him as he’ll surely be looking to win his first heavyweight title in 2009.

Low Ki made a successful V1 defense of his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title by fending off a strong challenge from former champion Taguchi. After pinning Taguchi, he got into it with the man he dethroned, Tiger Mask, all but confirming their expected rematch for the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show. Earlier in the event, NO LIMIT scored their biggest win yet, the young lions beating the world famous Jado & Gedo in the V1 defense of their IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title. Naito unleashed his Stardust press on Jado to secure a victory and quite possibly a defense against TNA Wrestling’s Motor City Machine Guns on January 4th.
