I don't think I deserve to sit back here.
That was fun, huh?
Even though I couldn't win this one,
Word is that there's still a chance to
win the title before the year is done.
Or am I mistaken?
Yano won't just hold this title forever, right?
He has to defend it now, doesn't he?
Am I right?
You guys are nodding.
I guess I'm right.
I was able to get to Okada, just a bit.
And I was that close to the trophy.
Almost. But that dropkick was scary.
I thought he took my nose off.
And to top it off,
SANADA might actually be able to talk.
But even though his mouth was moving,
no noise was coming out of it.
Yano...The match is over,
and I barely made my mark.
This is honestly humiliating.
Whatever. I probably would have tapped out,
sooner or later.
Let's move on.
Mr. Yano...
Can you please defend your title against me?
This title is unique from all others.
Let's propose our stipulations,
and have another fan vote. Should be fun.
Okay?
Well, KOPW now has its first title carrier.
Unfortunately, it isn't me.
I couldn't have imagined that
KOPW would end with a low blow.
I proposed this title,
and it ended with me getting pinned.
This is a reminder of how tricky a 4-way match can be.
If it was singles, it would have gone differently.
I can't deny that there were times
when I let my guard down.
How many minutes did it go?
I don't think it even reached 10.
I was pinned in under 10 minutes.
That's probably a first for THE RAINMAKER.
Today marks my 16th year in pro-wrestling. This
might have been my shortest match in a while.
Even though I was the one to propose this title,
I won't dictate it from here.
It's up to Yano now.
And as for me,
Right now, I'll focus on G1.
After that, perhaps KOPW,
IWGP Heavyweight, or Tag titles.
I'm not quite sure yet.
It really is frustrating to lose 
the match that I proposed.
But I need to switch focus to G1.
And I have to get Yano back.
But that's Yano, for you.
I wish I had a counter for that.
Also, this was New Japan's return
to Jingu Stadium after 21 years.
It felt great, fighting under the sky.
However, due to the current situation,
we were unable to pack the house.
But the people here still supported us.
I'd like to come back.
With a packed house of cheering fans.
And I'll be in the main event.
Thank you.
Alright! Alright! Alright!
Okada, thank you!
Okada, I'm sorry!
Please forgive me!
This was all his idea,
but now I'm the first to hold the KOPW trophy!
This is a title a guy like me 
can win in an instant!
Honestly, I'm just going to do
whatever I want with it!
No? It's not up to me?
There has to be another fan vote?
Why? I should be able to do what I want!
Let's expand the possibilities of this title!
Let me have my fun!
KOPW...KOPW...
I'm the man at the top!
And if I keep this trophy all year,
I heard I get an even bigger one!
And before you know it,
I'll have that one as well!
