Shitty machine translation:
Hiroshi Tanahashi (48) of New Japan Pro Wrestling made his first and last participation in the Saitama Tokorozawa tournament on the 6th of Freedoms.
On this day, Tanahashi, who is about to retire from the Tokyo Dome tournament on January 4 next year, formed a one-night dream tag team with Jun Kasai, the "charisma of the death match". He participated in a tag match with Toru Sugiura and Tomoya Hirata.
In the midst of the unyielding competition between the two teams, when Tanahashi went on the offensive with a sling blade to Sugiura, Kasai also fired a sling blade at Hirata, who was cut. In addition, Hirata splits the fusion Kinniku Buster with Kasai.
When Kasai launches Pearl Harbor Splash at the isolated Sugiura, Tanahashi also receives goggles from Kasai. He went up to the corner, decided on a pose, and threw a new move "High Fly Pearl Harbor (Flying Body Press)" hitting Sugiura, getting a 3 count.
Kasai, who held the microphone after the game, said, "The style that we and Tanahashi are the same professional wrestlers is the opposite, water and oil. I didn't expect to cross the same ring like this," he said, thanked for his unexpected participation in the match. Tanahashi also said, "Even if the style is different, the thoughts for professional wrestling, the fighting style with the body, I respected Kasai. It's an honor to be together today. Thank you very much," he responded to this.
Tanahashi praised Sugiura and Hirata and smiled, saying, "I've been prepared for more bloodshed, but I think I can return to the new Japan ring safely." At the end, the tournament ended with a chorus of "I love you".
